- So what exactly do with do with Bin Laden's body? What's that? He's already been buried at sea? Let the conspiracy theories begin.
- The killing couldn't have been more dramatic. And it kind of fits Bin Laden who has been a ghost like figure over the past decade. He leaves us as he lived: In a cloud of secrecy.
- After about two or three years removed from 9/11, I never thought we would get him.
- Anyone else feel a little weird about the people shouting and celebrating in front of the White House and on college campuses? It just seems very middle eastern-like
- I know a lot of you scoff at Twitter, but it is the source for breaking news. The first word of Bin Laden's death came from Keith Urbahn, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's chief of staff. From there, the national press picked it up.
- Ann Curry "broke" the news at around 3:00 a.m. (I bet she was asleep and didn't realize it until she woke up for work.)
- Then there were some funny tweets: "Donald Trump demands to see Bin Laden's birth certificate." "Waldo 1, Bin Laden 0", and one from the fake Jesus: "You're at the wrong gate, Osama."
- Fox affiliate typo last night.
- Edit: And one I heard but haven't tracked down: "It's amazing what America can accomplish when the Playstation Network is down."
- One guy in Pakistan tweeted what he was hearing when the raid was going down obviously not knowing its significance.
- Pakistan is odd partner in this War on Terror. They won't allow American troops on their soil, but we go in anyway with special forces.Odds are, we didn't tell them ahead of time because they cannot be trusted. (Although there are conflicting reports on this.)
- Bin Laden lived in a million dollar "mansion"/fortress which is right by Pakistan's version of West Point. Hmmmm.
- Edit: And everyone knows you don't want to have the biggest house in neighborhood. That was his mistake.
- As many have pointed out, yesterday was the eighth year anniversary of Bush's "Mission Accomplished" speech.
- President Obama is getting some criticism in using the "I" work a little too much in last night's announcement (i.e. "Today, at my direction . . . .) Hey, everyone remember how President Clinton was criticised for "letting him go" and "he had him"?
- The U.S. was offering up to "$25 million for information leading directly to the apprehension or conviction of Usama Bin Laden." Assuming someone helped, does "killed" equal "apprehension"?

Obama may have used "I" a few times, but you know who else said "I" a lot? Wait for it... "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." — GWB, Washington, D.C., March 13, 2002
The morning Pic gal has the look. CFM!!!
The burial at sea, if true, is obviously an attempt to prevent zealots from using his "martyred" remains as a rallying point.
US officials had to be dead-on certain they got the real deal, otherwise the still surviving Osama would pop up and you get the "Uh-oh" moment
College kids singing "Nana heyhey" is just another sign of Idiocracy setting in. That's the Westernized version of firing your AK-47 into the air in the village square.
Hey kids, spend some time in the real world, and cut down on the texting/tweeting. Then you might not feel compelled to run out into the street to drunkenly celebrate something that you had no part in
I doubt the Navy SEALs will be identified for security reasons, but if they were, they would never have to pay for a drink ever again. Anybody else claiming the reward would be forced into a Salman Rushdie-like existence. That's why nobody turned him in - you can't spend money when you're dead
"Anyone else feel a little weird about the people shouting and celebrating in front of the White House and on college campuses? It just seems very middle eastern-like"
YES!! I thought the same thing. So embarrassing. A bunch of idiot kids who need to shut up.
There is a grace in remembering.....and validation of justice.....with dignity.
I wonder who will be stupid enough to take his spot in the periodic Death to America video travelogues now? Kind of shouts "kill me now, please" wouldn't it?

No one knows better about Muslim traditions than Obama.
The celebrating -- Seemed odd at first but what would have happened in 1942 if we had killed Hitler? There would have been a rush into Times Square. Evil is evil and we are all better off when there is less of it in the world.
No one person gets credit for this. There is alot to go around but some of it has to be given to Obama and his administration.
USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
Transcript of celebrants in front of White House.
I actually did fire my AK-47 in the air upon hearing the news.
God I love America.
Yes, I too, have a hard time with celebrating. I understand, but don't think I can be glad, as a Christian, that someone is dead. Of course, we know he will be the one to answer questions of a power much higher than us! Imagine that "Uh-oh moment"!
And who "buried him at sea"? I'd like more info on that! Sure didn't take long--and if his followers buried him, why didn't we take them out, too?
The college kids in front of the White House were probably in elementary school on the day of 9/11.....Their memories of the aren't as vivid as mine! Their finals were scheduled for TODAY, and I think they were looking for a reason to postpone them.
But it was odd seeing these college kids celebrate, considering most of them are probably socialist liberals who fight against the death penalty for death row inmates and they also probably champion "social justice."
(I wonder if these liberal kids would be celebrating if Bush were still president....they'd probably be in front of the White House with picket signs, calling him a war criminal)
Nevertheless, had I been in D.C., I would have been right there partying with them! It was appropriate, no different than the way we celebrated in Times Square on VE Day!
:The team returned to Afghanistan with bin Laden's body, U.S. officials said. NBC News reported that bin Laden was later buried at sea." quote from MSNBC
Now, Islamic's believe a person has to be buried within 24 hours. So my question is: Who claimed his body? Who would want it? US Military REALLY thought they should fulfill the Islamic ideal of burialby turning his body over to someone?
The telling tale here is that the guy is living in a compound in a country that is supposed to be partnering with us to capture him.
That pretty much speaks for itself. There is no mission that can realistically be achieved in that part of the world. Lets bring our troops home as fast as safety will permit.
I'm glad Osama is dead but Obama really lowered himself last night. He cut into the last 30 minutes of Celebrity Apprentice just to take a jab at Donald Trump. That lowers the White House and validates Trump. This country's going straight to hell.
College kids go from war protesting to celebrating a death.
You Democrats and Liberals must be so proud.
Bin Laden buried at sea?
Let's hope they either chopped him up in little pieces or made sure he was thrown over with an anchor attached.
It would be awful if he floated to shore somewhere.

There's nothing thwt validates Trump! lol
Is there a murder trial starting up in Wise county?
Has FOX News put a "D" by Osama's name yet?
Looks like another transsexual with silicon implants.
I hope he was buried with a pork chop in his mouth....or bathed in pigs blood!
Jarhead, wtf? Fire an AR not an AK...this is America!
Atta by Mr. Schillo.
Rush said it best.
"We need to sincerely congratulate President Obama. He has done something extremely effective -- and when he does, it needs to be pointed out. President Obama has continued the Bush policies of keeping a military presence in the Middle East. He did not scrub the mission to get Bin Laden."
By the way, where did the CIA get the information on the "trusted courier" that led them to Osama? The news reports say "detainees." Could they mean someone held at Gitmo?
Leave the Trump silliness out of it. The network decided to cut off Trump - not the president. He wasn't scheduled to come on until after the show was over. The network cut in so they could speculate about what he might say.
As for Bush - the mission is NOW accomplished!
Looks like something from Whispering wheels back in 82!
Republicans are reluctant to give Obama much credit for the killing of Bin Laden. I bet they would have heaped mountains of credit on him if the operation had failed.
Uncle Wally
Hey 10:13 -
Just think if he did float up somewhere how much money you could get for him on Ebay!!!!!
Just sayin.....
Mr.LL,
Have you forsaken Britney. Today's gal has nice fun-bags, but is like a Woolworth version of the lovely Ms. Spears.
Still... I'd hit it...

She looks.......odd.
AK is for terrorist assassinations.
I reserve my AR for TCU victories (used a lot of ammo last season).
Thanks, anon 11:54. I appreciate your support.
Networks cut away from programming whenever the White House tells them to. NBC is not going to chance missing out on an announcement. Obama did that on purpose. He also was railing on Trump at his dinner party last night. He has lowered himself to a hack instead of a serious politician.
Celebrating in the streets when you SUPPOSEDLY kill an enemy is not acceptable and lowers us to the level of third world countries. Again, the goverment is doing nothing now but conspiring to dupe the naive american public into thinking they've accomplished something, when in truth, they couldn've done this years ago. Their strategic timing is highly suspect. I believe NOTHING that comes from Washington, and if you do, you got drunk on the Kool-Aid.
Brewcrew........ was the other night's Correspondent Dinner the first for you? The Presdent was not out of line with his comments. That is a traditional 'roast' that happens during every President's term and by every President as well as to every President. President Obama had a sense of humor and was able to laugh at himself. Trump on the other hand looked like 'Grumpy' with bad hair!
No problem, Kevin. Give my best to Kelley
Anon 11:54
I sure will 11:54.
Lance, Sean and Kat say hello. Oh and Maggie the puppeh.
