Osama Bin Laden is Dead

[PanzerJaeger]

The butcher is no more, thanks, apparently, to the United States.

RIP to his victims all around the world.

I figured he had died many years ago already.

[Populus Romanus]

DIE YOU SON OF A ****! DIE AND BURN IN HELL! DIE!

[Centurion1]

hes already dead.............

AND YES!

awesome that he was in an islamabad mansion.......... that should be interesting

[Louis VI the Fat]

It is .org custom to not speak disrespectfully of the dead until they are buried.

Pakistan is gonna have some 'splaining to do.

[PanzerJaeger]

It was a firefight, and not a Predator as was first speculated.

I'm glad he saw it coming instead of having it drop through the ceiling, and I hope he was terrified.

I never thought this day would come. I figured he'd die from his kidney problems before he was ever found.

Rest in Piss.

Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden (Arabic: أسامة بن محمد بن عوض بن لادن‎, ʾUsāmah bin Muḥammad bin ʿAwaḍ bin Lādin; March 10, 1957 – May 1, 2011)

For those who just missed Obama's speech here is the short version:

NBC gives additional details about firefight.

"He was shot at least once in the head."

Oh really?

They just released a photo of the man who pulled the trigger.



Initial reports indicate that he put two in his heart, one in his computer.

Although this is a good news I wonder what this could bring in the long run. Making him a martyr for the Muslim fanatics is not the best solution I think. Capturing him alive or letting him die naturally would have been better options.

That was never an option for America or Americans.

I think the message of today is that those who'd have Osama for a martyr now know Uncle Sam will get them, no matter how far and how long they run.

[Askthepizzaguy]

The whole world had an enemy in Osama Bin Laden, and the whole world has one less enemy.

I am grateful that he can harm no one else again, or lead the efforts of a group of mass murderers. I am thankful that the victims of this person finally had justice done on their behalf.

I selfishly hope that we can experience the unity we all felt on 9/11 again, and I hope it lasts for a while this time. Would be very welcome.

DOES THIS MEAN OBAMA IS NOT A MUSLIM??

[PanzerJaeger]

For those who just missed Obama's speech here is the short version:

Props to President Obama for keeping up the pressure and following through with his campaign pledge to kill him.

“Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan,” Obama said at the White House as he looked straight into the camera. “A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a fire fight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.”

[Motep]

Yes, I agree, it is better that he is dead. People that are alive have a bad habit of being alive, and people that are dead have a bad habit of being dead. And one need not worry about one that is already dead. Martyrdom? Sure....he can have. But it is worth it....and when those who are inspired by his martyrdom are dead as well, it wont really matter that much.

Okay, i laughed really hard and way more than I should have.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Awesome.

No matter how long and how far you run...

Why am I not allowed to 50 smilies in one post?

[Warluster]

That is a brilliant poster!

Will this essentially secure the Presidency for Obama for the next election? This is *obviously* a huge boost to Obama's popularity... and will probably boost his approval rating in the same way Bush's did back in 2001.

Oh, and Osama was killed/assassinated in Abottabad, not Islamabad, and Obama gave full kudos to Pakistan/ISI in his speech so there will, most likely and hopefully, be not political backlash in that arena... unless the media turns it into a big deal.

Geez how very smart of them.

edit ah I see

[Crazed Rabbit]

I remember where I was and what I was doing the morning of September 11, 2001.

And I'm going to remember May 1, 2011 for the rest of my life.

Also - America **** Yeah. **** Yeah.

Finally - have fun with your 9/11 buddies;

JAHANNEM, OUTER DARKNESS—The hijackers who carried out the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon expressed confusion and surprise Monday to find themselves in the lowest plane of Na'ar, Islam's Hell.

"I was promised I would spend eternity in Paradise, being fed honeyed cakes by 67 virgins in a tree-lined garden, if only I would fly the airplane into one of the Twin Towers," said Mohammed Atta, one of the hijackers of American Airlines Flight 11, between attempts to vomit up the wasps, hornets, and live coals infesting his stomach. "But instead, I am fed the boiling feces of traitors by malicious, laughing Ifrit. Is this to be my reward for destroying the enemies of my faith?"

Philosophical question for everyone:

Is it right to celebrate the death of a man who we hated because he celebrated death?

Yes.

It's always a morbid affair to celebrate death... but it is justified in this case by that he did not celebrate 'death', as such, but rather he celebrated the death of innocent purely for selfish, fanatical reasons.

Basiclly, I believe he is a guilty, dangerous person who endangered peace with his warmongering and hatred and deserved nothing less then the most gruesome of deaths.

[Strike For The South]

It means less than nothing at this point

I will wake up tommorow and we will still have spent more money and shed more innocent blood (on both sides)

The death or marginilzation of Bin Laden was a fat accompli from the moment 9/11 happedend

I wonder if this will give Obama enough political capitial to continue playing empire

WHO WANTS GROUND TROOPS IN LYBIA

Dont get me wrong I dont care if we cut the mans balls off and fed them to him but I don't see what we are celebrating.
