Bin Laden Killed

Fantastic news. Now, hopefully, this will mean the operation in Afganistan is done, and the troops can all come home.

this is pretty cool, this guy was in abottabad and twitted the whole thing as he was watching and listening, he had no idea it was bin laden


Raid On Bin Laden Was Live-Blogged, Though The Blogger Didn't Know It : The Two-Way : NPR (http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2011/05/02/135913093/raid-on-bin-laden-was-live-blogged-though-the-blogger-didnt-know-it)

Massive thank you to all the troops and everyone in the intelligence community for all the hard work they've put in over the years to bring this asshole down. Osama may represent one small piece of the terrorism puzzle, but it's a great thing he's dead.

On a side note the dumbasses that were on tv hyping this up like the war on terrorism is over need to get the cameras taken off them asap. We don't need to give the rest of the world more reasons to hate us or want to retaliate against us.

That is also factually incorrect. Al Qaeda is certainly weakened but not dead. Other groups, such as Jema Islamiyya, Abu Sayyaf, and Lashkar e-Taiba, remain in play. The war on terror has seen an important victory but not the finish line.

a yahoo political article made a good point - the way this op was carried out should send shivers down the backs of any other terrorists in hiding. It may have taken several years, but did anyone here think the US was capable any more of the patience and the type of cloak of silence needed to carry out this operation? Every terrorist now has to double back, and re-check their methods of communications and worry just a bit more.

So that only took 10 years and god only knows how much money. Mission accomplished! (for real this time of course). Glad they finally got him but I can't help but feel it's a bit anti-climatic.

i just literally said the exact same thing to my wife. while the fight against terrorism will never be over this is a major victory for us. the terrorist have been the ones working the fear angle, killing innocent people and then hiding. now we have the fear angle to use on them, they are and never will be safe.

this is a great day for america as a country and so many people can finally have the closure they have been looking for for a long time now. i saw on the news this morning a man from who woodbridge got in his car last night with a picture of his son and the flag he received when he was kia. he drove in the middle of the night to the white house so his son could be there while people were celebrating.

just one more thank you to all those who are serving the country right now and those who have served, what a great day for the good ol' us of a

Mooby is right. Idiots thinking the war on terror is over. Not hardly. The war on terror will be like the war on drugs. It's something you'll never win. Our best advice is to change our foreign policy. Note that surrounding countries in middle east have no problem with terrorism.


Also, what the **** is this??

Are you shitting me? Really? So now there is no ****ing proof whatsoever that the man is really dead...lol You know how to can divert the American's attention from the ****ed up politics and shitty budget they want to pass? Just kill a bad guy and wave American flags!!! /facepalm

I read somewhere (not sure this factual), but it's something staggering like 1.7 trillion dollars.

Congrats to NSWDG, stationed here in VB!

I know US citizens tend to dislike things that take a long time, but again, many of our countries staunchest enemies believe that we don't have the long term will power to search out those who do the country harm. Therefore, the fact that we continued through 10 years of unglamorous hunt and search missions says something to our enemies that hasn't been said in a long long time.

As for the cost, ugh, but I wonder how that specific tally could ever be calculated and separated from the typical intelligence budgets. It's not like we would have said, oh well since we aren't hunting Bin Laden, I guess we don't need to keep tabs on Al-Qaeda courier movements any more.

They took ample photos of bin Laden, I'm sure they'll be released in coming days. Oh, he's dead!
