Supposedly something about Bin Laden...

Update: HE'S DEAD! BODY IN US HANDS!

[CNYCacher]

Bin Laden is dead.

[Tallpine]

Birth certificate released

OBL dead


What's next ...  

[Nick1911]

Well, that only took a decade. 

[Monkeyleg]

Well, that only took a decade.

Not easy to find when he's in caves protected by a friendly population.

Sucks that Obama will take credit.

[vaskidmark]

So dies this mean the Global War in Terror is over?  Death/capture of OBL was the stated goal - seems we accomplished both.

BTW - I don't consider this an accomplishment of BHO or his administration.  I know he's going to claim leadership and credit, but it's nothing but a military onjective unless his announcement somehow reveals that the spook agencies somehow are being given credit.

stay safe.

[RoadKingLarry]

Birth certificate released

OBL dead

What's next ...  

I wanna see the death certificate! and not the short form either.

Can we disband TSA now ?

[RevDisk]

I'm happy.  I don't care if Obama gets credit or not. 

Today we put forth a message that we still have the resolve to track down and kill anyone if they attack us.  Even if it takes a decade.  Even if it takes billions.  Even across very different political environments.  Even if they are extraordinarily well protected. We will have our revenge, regardless of the cost.

This is true.

[AZRedhawk44]

Funny how Obama actually gets a military objective DONE when his political approval level is in the toilet.

I don't trust this.

Then again, I don't trust my government anyways.

Since Obama is a 5th Column sympathizer for ANYTHING anti-American, I expect this body to be a reasonably similar double or stand-in.  And Obama is deliberately doing this to undermine the EEEVILLLLL Colonio-Capitalist American Regime.

Yep.  I said it.  So there.

Let me just say Amen and hell yeah.

[CNYCacher]

They are saying he was killed in a mansion outside of Islamabad and it was a human operation, not a drone.

I wonder what this will do to US-Pakistan relations.

[MechAg94]

I am very happy our military and I assume other spy/information agencies were able to get this done.  As said above, it is a good message to those who would attack us. 

However, now I am very curious what affect this will have on our presence in Afghanistan and the WOT in general; on both sides.

[MillCreek]

I wonder what this will do to US-Pakistan relations.

I hope it puts them on notice that we will defend our interests anywhere. 

[Lennyjoe]

Good news but I hate the fact that Obama is breaking the news.  And, of course, he is going to want to take credit for it....

Good job to our military guys.

[vaskidmark]

BHO says killing BHO was a top priority of his administration.  He claims that last August he implemented policies & practices to do that.

And he didn't even flinch when he said it!

stay safe.

[vaskidmark]

"We are not at war with jihad."

"Obama was never a Muslim leader."

Holy sweet mother of $dietyofchoice.

stay safe.

Srsly?

Got Youtube or Video?

[MillCreek]

I, for one, am thrilled that he was not captured alive.  A trial would not have served our interests.

[MillCreek]

I had earlier read that his bodyguards were instructed to kill him to prevent capture.  I wonder if UBL died at the hands of US troops or his own security staff.

[SteveT]

An awful speech by Obama.   All I, I, I and Me, Me, Me.   I'd like to hear about the badass MFs that actually DID the dirty deed.

As someone tweeted a bit ago:

RESOLVED:   That the man who shot Bin Laden shall never again buy his own beer.

--Amen to that.

[brimic]

Srsly?

Saw it too. president zero was filled with epic levels of insufferableness.

Yes, this.

[De Selby]

It is a fact - Obama presided over the operation that got Bin Laden.  Conspiracy theories about this one or excessive quibbling over the credit will help ensure a second term for Obama.
