Osama bin Laden is dead

[Homerboy]

I'm sure an announcement of this magnitude would require DNA confirmation.

or they didn't want to overshadow the royal wedding

Dam....is his eye gouged out?

Hopefully.

I thought your view was murder is never acceptable?

This isn't one of those threads, ask this again another time.

?????? Mess what-up? He just guaranteed his re-election.

i don't see why, it's not like he had anything to do with it.

Maybe our children will see this as the fall of the berlin war. Finally the muslim world is no more an enemy. In the middle east dictators are falling, in the west we are easing our dependency on oil. A lot of small steps that are radically changing our world.


I hope for the better. At least, it really looks so.

I was just saying this the other day to my wife - investing heavily in alternative energy, saving the U.S. auto industry, saving big banks (which I don't really agree with), allowing the middle east to revolt on their own while giving support in Libya but not marching in and taking over, and finishing up the mess in Afghanistan and hopefully Iraq soon. He's laying the groundwork for historical change. Glad I didn't waste a vote and look forward to doing that again.

Woot!

Still waiting to hear confirmation it was a CIA operative and not a drone, if he was taken out by a gun that would be pretty epic

???? Yes, he has no say in having the CIA and the military intensify their hunt for Bin Laden, having him captured alive or assassinated.

Bush only started a war with Iraq and invaded Afghanistan to go after Al Qaeda and Bin Laden.

Oh c'mon, they can't hijack every plane.

Un-fscking-believable. I wonder what this is going to do to US-Pakistan relations.

honestly, it can only help. This kind of bullshit has been well-known in the intelligence community, and we've been shitting on it trying to play nice with Pakistan ignoring what we well know to be their intentions.

Now, they can't really hide behind the generals that collude freely with Al Qaeda.

Some major shit is going to be hitting the fan in the next couple of months.

Michael Westin killed Osama...

CNN just reported that it was not a drone (again, from one of their sources), but a CIA operative.

 

[PimpJuice]

cut his fucking head off and plant it on the spire of whatever building is built at ground zero.

 

[SKORPI0]

Well, I hope that they get Gadaffi before he disappears. :sneaky:

Crowd gathering just outside the White House already, singing the national anthem and chanting 'USA'.

CNN was saying they received confirmation from someone (a "senior official" of some sort iirc?) that it was a ground operation.

EDIT: Pakistan has confirmed Bin Laden is dead. Apparently Pakistani Intel was in on the mission.

 

[PottedMeat]

obama is probably delaying this for laughs just to watch the major networks come up with shit to talk about to kill time


haha poor fox - all they got is geraldo

Damn, now he got those 60 virgins

Now hanging from the neck of the badass that got the headshot.

They are showing it on CNN.

FFS Obama, lets get this over with. I gotta get to bed.

Yeh, but they're virgins. They don't know how to do it right yet. :sneaky:
