Osama bin Laden is dead

[Freedom]

Just being announced on the TV.

Searched it up on Wikipedia it says he died yesterday.

It's all over Facebook and Yahoo. Some people are wondering if it's really him or if it's an imposter. Anyone's thoughts?

I mean, the U.S. supposedly has his body and Obama is about to speak about it publically... But wow. Such a long battle trying to find him and now he's just... dead?

[Alysser]

I honestly don't know how to react to this yet. I'm kind of in shock. I don't know whether I believe it or not.

Saying he was killed earlier, US has his body and has done DNA testing.
Wonder what we had to compare to for that test?

Well that's interesting. And I'm wondering the same thing.

He's from a large wealthy family. I'm sure they can compare DNA.
Good ridance to bad rubbish.

And apparently one of his sisters died of cancer, in Boston, last year.

Another source of DNA.

If it is true, I hope the world becomes a safer place, though I do not assume anything concrete.

Let's continue our prayers for our troops. Who knows what the reaction will be like from the Taliban??!! As we all know, they are very unpredicatable.

it is true we americans have had his body a week they had to do dental dna to confirm.. thank god he is dead

[dab_20]

Obama made his speech and he said he died today. Lieing to the US is only going to make everyone VERY angry. This isn't something to make up, especially with all the crap our country has been through the last ten years. I believe it.

Thank God. For all the lives lost since September 11. For all the young men and women (including my brother) who had to go and fight. Unfortunately, it probably won't change much.

USA! USA! USA!

Don't know if the Taliaban will fall apart, but it sure will put a damper on things, imo.

Navy Seals ROCK! God Bless 'em!

Just heard that 2 Bin Laden couriers,an older son and a woman, used as a shield (!!!) were also killed in the operation.

[Lady's Human]

Just saw a comment from a "senior defense official" saying it was SEALS who got him......nice operational security, guys. The USN has just become a bigger target for terrorists.


UBL may be dead, but this could lead to his being portrayed as a martyr to the cause (highly likely), and he evidently hasn't had hands on leadership of AQ in its weakened state for quite some time.

Regardless who pulled the trigger, good work by the intel weenies. About time they got something right.

Obama taking credit for Osama's demise, a pre campaign tactic? Interrupting Trumps show whatever it is, and the theatrical, what 45 minute wait? BS grandstanding. Congrats Libs, Obama is your War President.

I heard Monica Lewinski collected the DNA and that Osama,s head shot looks great.

















LH is right, BHO would have better off saying, "I ordered what against whom?", rather then trying to take credit. Obama doesnt have the backbone to withstand the potential backlash.
