Bin Laden Dead?

Several news outlets reporting this.

Big question, how did he assume ambient temperature?

Obama 2012, baby!

Tribute to the drones.

Wow. Only took 1 post in response to turn partisan. Admirable restraint.

I'd rather have them back, and the 3K we lost that day, but this will have to do...

Now we can get back to important things, like did we fake landing on the moon, and how GW planted the explosives in the towers himself.

BTW, he died by being forced to watch Norbit. That shitty movie will kill you.

Preliminary reports mention "US asset." Big day for the US, President in particular. Statement from the white house looming.

Can I be the first to say I near totally DNGAF ?. We took off a couple of years of his life , tops. Had it been done at Anaconda , then we would have had some momentum and could have claimed a victory. Nearly ten years in , it's pretty much book keeping. The damage is done and the franchise terror model is now part of the ground rules.

I am all for payback , but this isn't exactly payback. Might as well get him since we are shooting Hellfires into kids' bedrooms and all . It's worth doing , but considering that going after him led us directly to one war that divided us and another that confirmed our period of imperial overreach , I will refrain from dancing a bransl. I'd love to pin that all on one party or one Bush , but the reasons I can not can be found in the answer to one single question :

Can we leave Afghanistan/Pakistan now ? No ?

Well , if we can't , then I am supposed to make like Arsenio Hall and go "Woo woo woo" , and forget about that LCpl that just came home in three separate sections. Personally , I'd rather have the LCpl alive if it meant not perpetuating all the stupidity that was emplaced downstream of killing the money and guru guy from an op that forced an empire- ending error , taking it from a double to a grand slam. Just can't bring myself to celebrate.

" Yay , we finally got the wood for the birdhouse cut. It sure makes these past nine years of licking the planks into the buzz saw all worthwhile , don't it ?".

Happy dead Arab day , or whatever. And BTW, he won.

One less violent deluded fanatic on the planet.

However, I'm still left wondering why the US did not focus it's efforts post 9/11 on shutting down the Saudi Arabian money pipeline
that finances, supports, and promotes his ilk around the planet
rather than becoming involved in unnecessary, costly, and unproductive foreign misadventures.

[call me curious]

i have talked to people in two different countries (Hong Kong and Ireland) and checked all the websites such as this one where there are knowing people (who's opinions I value) and everybody seems to be waiting for CNN to tell them what happened. I find that curious.

Oh, btw, what does blowback look like?

BTW, good job on the DA by the secret squirrels .

Oh, BTWx2, outside Islamabad ? JSOC instead of ISI ?

Won't be celebrating long. We just kicked the anthill .

Ossama was in Pakistan's Military Intelligence (ISI) protection

Paki killed him to silence him & lots of cash

Let's hope stock market will spike tomorrow ..

Unfortunately, we'll have to wait and see what it means. Eg, if women and children are still being molested in the airports a few weeks from now, will feel pretty deflated.

You will find me taking the American people seriously on freedom when they decide that they'd rather not fly than be raped . On an individual level , this is still operative ; you will not see either myself or a member of my family fly, ever again , as long as this is even possible. I don't care if I have to make a wagon train out of fucking Yorkshire terriers to get to Fiji, flying now is simply the province of pimps ( the TSA) and the prostitutes( those that still fly in spite of their conscience) . I only have so much sympathy for the later, and none for the former .
