Seeing all our fellow Americans gathering at the White House is such a great thing to see. Oh now they've shown Ground Zero. Damnit, my allergies are acting up...my eyes keep watering for some reason.
RIP to all the lives lost due to this piece of SHIT. good riddance he's gone!!! this is a day I won't forget
I think you have to give the President credit for doing the right thing and ordering a strike inside another soveriegn country. If this wasn't bin Laden, it's an act of war. He took a big risk, and the military rewarded him for it. As I've said, let the military do their jobs.
I imagine that there are many ears to the ground looking for any signs of communication as well. It is not hard to expect that we get a lot of underlings in the aftermath.
Well the best part of any attempt is that you most likely capture or kill more of them. I also think that "fringe" members will now walk away since they probably can. I mean if you are someone that associates with AQ, you just got a major wake up call. This is the most infamous criminal world wide, and he just got taken out. That sends a message.
Problem is, i heard that AQ has said in the past that if/when bin laden is killed, they will retaliate.... hmm
Bullies like to yap, but yes there will be blood. At the same time as I have stated, that blood will lead to deeper cuts into their organization.
Hope the Dept of Homeland Security steps up their watches and chatter in the wake of all of this. Have some family going to Israel and Europe this month, told them to monitor the bulletins and be careful (I was already leery of them going to israel).
Pakistan sources now say Pakistani intelligence officials were on ground during this operation, contradicting American reports. Seems like they are trying to save face here. There are some questions that need answering about Pakistan.
Speculation on al jazeera just now that pakistan actually turned him in after protecting him up until now. barfo

It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him."- George Bush 9/13/01 "I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."- George Bush 3/13/02
What do they mean by turned him in? US special ops obviously raided the compound and shot him in the head. Did they give up their position? I have some doubts about that. I have large doubts that Pakistan was informed about this operation at all, because there would be way too many leaks going around and getting to Osama.
From the way people are celebrating, it was clearly a big priority for the people of America. Bush gave up in about 6 months. Obama got shit DONE. This isn't just about intelligence. The COMMANDER IN CHIEF runs the SHOW. It's how he responded to it that is clutch.
