You don't read the news much, do you? No American forces were killed or injured in the operation and the helicopter that went down was due to mechanical failure... not the guards.

I'm skeptical on this part. Mechanical failure... right. Quite more likely it was shot down, and the now famous twitter source is correct saying 1 dead, 1 injured.

Think it's time to merge this with the P&N one and move it over there as it's becoming the cesspool like the posts are in that area.

President Obama to announce it live any minute.

how did they find Osama? were they attacking the mansion anyway, and by sheer luck he was just there?

or they had intel and attacked the mansion knowing Osama is inside?

I heard earlier on the news that they'd "developed intel" several months ago that he MIGHT be there...but it took until now to confirm it, to plan the operation, and get the go-ahead to take him out.

From the New York Times:

>>From there, American officials said, the body was buried at sea.

Osama sleeps with the fishes!

OBL was watching the rerun of the Royal Wedding on CNN or rerun of The Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel.

If true, this will be a conspiracy theory for the ages.

I know we live in an age where those daring to question official statements or accounts are derided as outliers, or worse demonized. But if true, about bin Laden's body buried at sea, I can't blame the world for questioning such a rash and stupid decision.

Official: Bin Laden buried at sea



A U.S. official says Osama bin Laden has been buried at sea. After bin Laden was killed in a raid by U.S. forces in Pakistan, senior administration officials said the body would be handled according to Islamic practice and tradition.



That practice calls for the body to be buried within 24 hours, the official said.



Finding a country willing to accept the remains of the world's most wanted terrorist would have been difficult, the official said.



So the U.S. decided to bury him at sea.


The official, who spoke Monday on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive national security matters, did not immediately say where that occurred.

What exactly is this supposed to do again? He did bad things, so yes I suppose it is good that he is dead. But is this a victory for the "War on Terror"?

This is a victory for the world. This man was the head of the main terror network in the world.

I want to take a boat ride so I can piss on his grave.

In a way it was smart they buried him at sea and didn't specify off what coast or anything. Now, he doesn't have a grave to visit.

Good riddance to the worst kind of rubbish. I hope his virgins are raping him with a pineapple down there in hell.
