UBL IS DEAD!!!

Fox is actually right coz there's really no "o" in Arabic, although there is kind of an "o" sound.

But he knew how to make a lass 'oo' in Jeddah

I don't buy the idea that Osama (Usama?) and Al Qaeda have some sort of big plan set aside in the event of his death. If he had such a great plan that we had to worry more about than usual why wouldn't he have already unleashed it? If they had the ability and will to nuke the U.S I'm sure he would have loved to actually see that while he was still alive. He wouldn't have been wanted any more than he was before, and the consequences for his followers would be exactly the same either way.

Unless they hire on Robert Ballard at some point.

Nothing too ugly on this thread yet - the bible belt can't be home from work yet

'Quiet satisfaction' seems to be the reaction among the relatives of 9/11 which is this civilized way to deal with it. A necessary thing was done but respectfully disposing of the body was a classy touch. Well done the government.

There will always be the mob of course - I remember the photos of Mussolinis body where women were squatting over his face and urinating. That kind of thinking will always be with us and the internet seems to attract that type. So far so good on VJ

Quiet satisfaction and retaining our classiness is the way to go and the relatives all seem to do that naturally

I'm with you there. Noone will miss Bin Laden but I find the gloating over death to be pretty creepy.

Watching the cheering crowds in Washington DC reminded me a lot of the end of Delta Force, that crappy Chuck Norris movie. Very odd.

Time for a group hug.

Time for a group hug.

We don't do that here in the West

We are so macho we don't like sitting on our horses because it invades our private space

Nearest we get to a group hug is being in the same traffic jam

Sounds like what he needed to have was an IRA or something like that. Who'll read his will?

W Bush said the French don't even have a word for 'entrepreneur' - he didn't realise that if it wasn't for the French, the Americans would now be speaking English
