Seriously, I imagine the orders were dead or alive - Osama, by choosing a fire fight, chose the former.

Daniel: where did you hear that about SA? Very interesting.

I live in North wales :p heard it on the BBC

Destroy the evidence .
Move along .
Nothing to see here .

We got him . Just leave it at that .

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain . The Great Oz has spoken .

Really , why would anyone believe anything the press says the government says ?

We vote today .
Our government fell because they were found to be in comtempt of parliament , the first occurance of this in our history .

The likelyhood is , that he and his contemptuous cronies will return to power .

Now I remember another famous case. Radovan Karadzic accused of war crimes and Srebenica massacre was a fugitive from 1996 until July 2008 after having been indicted for war crimes by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. During this period the guy worked at a private clinic in Belgrade specialising in alternative medicine and psychology and they say he even attended some football matches of Serie A.

In Obama's case I can't understand something else. He obviously had links with Al Queda during this period and I wonder what intelligence services did. He could have hide on that building but I suppose he still was visited and coordinated the organization.

Not so good news at all! Why is everybody happy that someone is killed (eventhough it was Osama)? Especially when now he is killed, he becomes automatically a martyr for every muslim extremist. I expect really crazy times from now on ...

Are you really so ignorant to not know the difference between Osama and Obama?

Buried or unburied, for fundamentalists the guy will become a martir anyway. The wise move would have been to catch him alive and to send him to court.

Right like we need to spend more money on this puke. I am very pleased with the outcome as well as most of the civilized world.

Personally I wouldn't say I'm "happy" he's dead, more satisfied with the conclusion of the man hunt. I do take your point about his Matyr status, but wouldn't that happen anyway if he was captured, and, almost certainly, sentenced to death?

The head of the monster has been cut off, but the body is still twitching and is deadly dangerous.

I guess his decision to not coddle the trash in Club Gitmo paid off- good for Obama and good for Bush, that chapter is closed.

Here is the picuture that so far Pres. Obama's Adm. says is to gruesome to release.
He is probably afraid of insulting what Bush called a "religion of peace".http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M3Jm8pv7HW...sama-dead2.jpg

No, he's afraid of getting "Rick Rolled"... like you did. :D

Yeah, I don't entirely agree with Barack Obama that "the world is a safer place" with Bin Laden dead. As long as the United States continues it's method of foreign policy and socio-economic oppression of Arab nations and the like, anti-U.S. terrorists will continue to exist. Remember, as Michael Scheuer put it, we're not necessarily hated for our Democracy and freedoms, we are hated for our foreign policy.

Is that photo real or a shop?

Being that Osama and Obama are really only one letter apart , it makes sense to interview new talent in the terrorist sector , as , at times , it could get too confusing .
None of the "good" guys wants it written into the script that they should have to wear white hats , except when it comes time for photo-ops at factories .
You're a target in a white hat .

They could go back to that old TV trick used in the Batman series , where they showed the Riddler's or the Joker's hideout on a tilted camera , so we knew we were in enemy territory without having to think too much .

Opinions should be easy to come by without having to think so damn much .
I think I'll turn on CNN and see what I think today .

Gee you boys always want a net link for proof and now you do not like what the net has-- oh well.

Has anyone seen the Spanish picture that according to the airwaves is real? Or is that just this same photo shop?

Thank God Obama ignored the demands of his supporters to shut down the team that reportedly snuffed Osama. It has been said-- it is the same boys that did in Saddam.

It is kind of odd though that Pres. Obama almost never used the word "I" when speaking of his administrations acts, but now from readings I have heard of his press comm. it sounds like the one episode from the Prisoner- I, I, I-- I, I, I-- I, I, I....

Thank God for reelection pressure.

Why not be a good American, Bob? Why not put your extreme partisan loyalty aside and cheer for the Commander-in-Chief who ordered the killing of the most dangerous terrorist of our time... the guy who ordered an attack on the United States of America? For (just) one day, why not do that? Then tomorrow you can go back to nit picking everything you can think of about Obama. Today, come on and be part of the team, eh?

While I'm glad OBL met his end I'm also happy that he lived long enough to see his dream of an Islamic pan-Middle Eastern caliphate being torn up in front of his eyes by the very people he was trying to 'save', the Arabs themselves. Watching Arab country after country rise up against their dictatorial leaders was what he wanted but to watch them demand democracy and an open society, even the Islamists, rather than an Islamic state must have hurt him more than a bullet in the head.

How often do we think that Fox have made "mistakes" with their captions over the past 18 odd hours? I found six whilst watching telly yesterday.

They've been showing celebrating Americans on TV today. That reminded me of the celebrating Palestinians after the 9/11 attacks. Both equally petty and distasteful IMO. Death of human beings isn't a cause for celebration (nor is death of animals).

I disagree. The guy was repsonsible for a lot of deaths. his death is a good thing

So were George W Bush, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, Harry Truman, Richard Nixon, etc.

And I heard they didn't kill just Osama bin Laden, but also three others. And how many did they kill before they even found Osama? They wanted Osama so bad that they didn't care that school children, wedding parties, etc were killed in the process.

I understand the sentiment, but this isn’t just a bloodthirsty nation celebrating the death of a frail old man.

I don't know and frankly Charlotte, I don't really give a damn.

I did, I said thank God for re-election pressure.

I have no doubt political affairs affected his action, and it is good he did not cave in to his cronies and try to put this human piece of feces on trial.
Score one for the Obama

Thank you for now giving me a good reason to no longer put any net links down-- if it is on the net, it has to be true-- YES!

Osama is dead, now we can go back to the Trump vs. Obama dog and pony show, unless more deathers post here.

Please give me a net link to their deliberate attacks on civilians not connected to a war in progress-- if it is on the net it has to be true..

Why? It would just be the same as the Bush/Clinton/Perot dog & pony show of '92, and we all know how that turned out...

I didn't expect them to find him tbh.. was a surprise for me. I agree with Henners that it wont really change anything, great moral booster for the troops though.

Surprised they haven't released pictures of the body yet, probably still at auction before being 'accidently' leaked tomorow. :/
