If the video of Saddam being hanged can be leaked, then I'm sure pictures of Bin Laden's body will be as well.

I've never understood Osama's mind. Trying to assume his thoughts and actions: How did he get to think that what he had done with his life was righteous? How did he command what happened and then not own it - to go slinking off and hiding like a cockroach in cracks and crevices? How could he not have the courage of his convictions? How did he think there was any honor in that? How did he reconcile that with his religious faith?

I'll never know. And, I guess that's alright by me.

NYC Firefighter just said live on CNN "I hope to God he rots in Hell"

He didn't. He was either a straight up evil guy or a crazy guy. There's no way to logically do what he did.

The first complaint on Fox News was from Greta who complained that there was no open Q & A session. Seriously, gonna have partisan bullshit now? You don't have to talk about how great Obama is or something like that, just talk about how great Bin Laden being dead is.

Since Osama is now dead, will we pull out of Afghanistan? The mission was to overthrow Taliban from power.....check. Kill Bin Laden can now be checked off as well. Karzai wants us out. Hopefully they bring our brave troops home after completing the mission there.

^^LOL

On a side note, LJ or someone, can we merge this thread and the thread in Serious Business together?

Mission accomplished. Time to Dee-Dee.

Don't be fooled though. Karzia does not want us out. We keep him in power. Karzai won't make it a year after the last US boot leaves Afghanistan.

He may or may not truly want us out, I am just stating what I have read he has said in the media.

CNN just announced it was a small group of Navy Seals and that the place was one of the biggest compounds in a very affluent city. I have no clue how to spell it.

Fox News (yeah yeah whatever) just reported 3 other men killed along with Bin Laden.

Only on ground for 40 minutes total. Two women injured, lost one helicopter with mechanical failure. Very secured compound, high walls and security.
