Gosh, wouldn't it be, um, terrible if the bombings inadvertently splattered Osama's biological warfare agents all over the surrounding countryside? I would imagine the heat from the explosions would destroy any biological agents. On theother hand, chemical agents might be another matter altogether... (assuming that the chemicals don't form new reactions/bonds as a result of the energy released)

I would imagine the heat from the explosions would destroy any biological agents. Only the ones that the bombs landed directly on.
Surely, though, surrounding rooms or buildings would be collapsed by nearby explosions, shattering containment vessels contained therein, without being exposed to any significant heat.

Say man got any Orange Sunshine or Blue Dimpledome? Really man sounds like you are into some good sh!t.
Doesn't take much to get the suicidal maniacs in full gear even one of your hallucinations and fantasies would do.

IMHO, it is VERY dangerous to apprehend him alive and have a trial somewhere, because terrorists will take hostages like crazy around the world, demanding his release. On the other hand, OBL's colleagues and deputies cannot very well demand the release of a sorry scrap of bloody meat that looks like Wisconsin road kill, formerly known as 'Osama Bin Laden'.I totally agree with you, and I love your description of the dead Osama!

I would imagine the heat from the explosions would destroy any biological agents. Most conventional bombs are nitrogen based low temperature explosives (TNT or ANFO) which create a lot of air but not a lot of heat.

Bump and a bookmark!

Another base attacked in the region was a chief manufacturer of explosive materials. Can you say, "KABLOOEY"???!!!!!
