They were after Sadam Husane. <--- Bad spelling

^Well true, but they still killed him.

Oh my fucking god the government better waste their war funds on education now

He was actually killed a week ago, but they spent a week making sure that it was him (DNA testing, etc) They didn't want to say "Woohoo, Osama is dead!" and then find out it wasn't him. ;o

I agree 100%!!!

This may either relax the army and government or escalate the threat.
More money may be spent on 'precautions' :v

Over the next ten years the U.S. gov't is scheduled to cut down on 400 billion dollars that we spend on defence. The U.S. currently spends 700 billion dollars on our military.

Interesting that you should decide 'absolute truth' from just a single source.

The washingtonpost merely says that he was killed in his mansion, which all the reports say. Only the latimes report says he was killed in a CIA-led operation (read: not a 'CIA operation' as you said, it was military, not an assassination).

The reports also do not say if any drones were involved, or the method of death. The military uses drones, so does the CIA, I don't know how you could infer that the CIA being involved means no drones were invloved.

Please do not take a single source as fact above all other sources, and do not discount information just because your single source does not mention it.



You were a good boy to put the citings in, but a single citation that supports you is not enough in this situation when there are many many more saying the kill was by drone, and that it was a military operation. (infact the LA Times, your one source, says that it was CIA-led, and hence it was a military operation)

I guess it's good that the "lead figure" is out. I'd like to know what form of retaliation or effect at least this will have on the rest of terrorist group.

Yes, a man was killed but a matyr was born.
