My opinion on the whole thing: IF its true, its pretty awesome. Not because one guy going down suddenly makes the world a safer and problem-free place. The people arent cheering because of this, they cheer because it gives a sense of long-awaited closure for families and the world who felt heartbreak during the World trade collapse, embassy bombings, plane crashes, etc.... I am sure that countries all around the world who have felt the emotion of war/attack will feel a sense of relief when the "face behind the terror" has been taken down, regardless of who's side you are on, and who you claim to be the bad guy.
Im still iffy on the whole "thrown in the sea" ordeal, but surely one can understand people's heartbreak and yearning for positive news in a world that throws nothing but bad news at us.
Regardless of political opinion one would be very ignorant not to *understand* how this news would tug at heart-strings everywhere....people need to have a little emotion sometimes and take a short break from the questions, the skepitisism, the politics, and the negativity to realize that this is simply an emotional piece of news and a small feeling of closure in the grand scheme of things. |

Rumor 1: Chuck Norris killed Osama. While plausible that Chuck Norris could swiftly dispatch with Al Qaeda's senior citizen in chief, the alleged means of death just isn't Chuck's style. A bullet to the dome? No way. If it isn't a roundhouse kick to the chops, it isn't Chuck.
Rumor 2: Apple is caught spying on consumers; Bin Laden caught one week later. Sometimes, a coincidence is just a coincidence. Then again, Steve Jobs is one crafty fellow. But nah...this one is unlikely. Bin Laden just isn't an Apple kind of guy. He has Windows Vista written all over his forehead.
Rumor 3: Checking into a kebab stand on foursquare got Osama killed. This one was totally false. He never checked in to the kebab stand; Bin Laden was, however, mayor of the local dialysis clinic.
Rumor 4: Osama will he be back...after all, they buried Megatron at sea, too. This one may take some time to disprove. Megatron was buried at sea and he came back as a tank, with a vengeance. What if Osama does the same thing, and comes back as some kind of immortal suicide-bomber? We better hope Jack Bauer isn't on vacation...
Rumor 5: Toby Keith has already written two songs about Bin Laden's death. This one is actually probably true. You know he knocked out at least one patriotic jingle while Obama was speaking.
Rumor 6: Osama isn't dead; he's recording an album with Tupac. OK, they found Osama and killed him. Can we please move along and catch the guys who gunned down the world's best rapper on the Las Vegas strip after a Mike Tyson fight. There had to be tens of thousands of witnesses, and no one saw anything? Meanwhile, we track down Bin Laden in a hotel in the middle of a country we're not *technically* supposed to be fighting in?
Rumor 7: Snape killed Dumbledo...sorry, wrong meme.
Rumor 8: Jason Bourne shot Bin Laden. Unfortunately, no. This kill was all Navy Seals. Bourne was a CIA operative. Right team, wrong guys.
Rumor 9: Since Trump demanded Obama's birth certificate, Obama demanded Osama's death certificate. One-ups-manship is not new to the political arena. Candidates used to brag about war wounds or service when others got deferments. Since major contenders for both political parties have sat out the wars of their lifetimes, the best they can do is measure each other via proxy; they chose these topics to keep it g-rated.
Rumor 10: ABC cancels soaps; osama gives up. Of all the plausible rumors, this is the most believeable. After ten years of hiding indoors and watching tv, the bearded one had to be addicted to daytime tv. It can't be a coincidence that, as soon as ABC cancels its long-running soaps, we just “happen” to catch him. It sounds more like he turned himself in.

this was a very smart move by the USA. By respecting his muslim rights they are somewhat diffusing a very hostile situation. |
Turns out that many Muslim groups are upset with the US' decision to bury him at sea because it goes against some Islamic laws. |

sea burials have been allowed under islamic law....usually because of a death at sea and not being able to get to land within 24 hours.
A sea burial was probably best for America because there is no sight for people to go and praise Osama |
