Osama Bin Laden is DEAD!!!

Thank you I was about to counter that comment before with this, but you took care of it for me.

There are two Counter-terrorist SMU (Special Mission Units) in the United States, Delta Force and Navy DEVGRU (Development Group), formerly SEAL Team 6.

If it was a SEAL team it was a DEVGRU platoon. They are all under JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command) of the overall SOCOM (Special Operations Command), but they have a bit more leeway with their orders and where they can operate. CIA SAD (Special Activities Division (Black Ops stuff to the core) was probably involved as well.

There is a LOT of line bluring now a days though between the various service Spec OPS units and a lot of cross work being done. If the group was like the Task Force 21's and 22's of the past then it probably included a nice mix of SEAL's, Green Beret's, Delta, Combat Controller's and even some CIA assets.

Oh, and;

They didn't want his grave either desecrated or turned into a shrine.

having a burial spot would have been a mecca/rally point for the Bin Laden supporters/fanatics/terrorists.

So, you think terrorists are stupid enough to go and pay their respects?

That's would be every intelligence agencies wet dream! :rolleyes:

There is no reason that they couldn't have conserved the body and then thrown it into a furnace at Langley, at a later point; maybe after hanging it from the Statue of Liberty, for example! ;)

True but Superstitions are the best and most unpredictable weapons one can have.:rolleyes:.

I am sorry, but the surge of ignorant nationalism scares me (not yours specifically...yours was toned down, but the shit I have been seeing around my liberal college campus scares me). We killed one man behind 9/11. Al Quaeda is still alive. How many problems do we have here in the U.S. that get minuscule amount of funding, yet we spent billions of dollars to kill one man and secure our stake in the oil fields of the Middle East. I am glad that he has finally got what was coming to him, but have we ever considered what 9/11 was actually about?

There is always at least one of you, even though this is a public forum and you're entitled to your opinion, I am as well. Also I'm glad I served in the military to continue to allow people in this country to have the freedom to speak their mind (not talking about here in this forum but in life).

Your welcome! lol

I have the utmost respect for all of the men and women who have served to protect the country and I. However, I do not see the point in celebrating the death of an individual. I am happy that the families of victims, soldiers, and fallen soldiers alike can finally have closure. However, the celebrating that went on last night was ignorant, in my opinion. Al Quaeda will live on and terrorism will continue. There is not a simple solution to this problem. Osama Bin Laden's death may give closure to a country and especially to the those directly affected by 9/11, but it doesn't get to the root of everything. I am sorry if I offended you in anyway.

Thank you for your service as I have thanked many of my friends who have gone and protected me also. I was not attacking your bravery.

That is what we are celebrating...

Thanks to anyone who helped in any way protect and serve this great country!
