OSAMA BIN LADEN CONFIRMED DEAD.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Oh and if anyone wants to have a go at me for being a "cynic", have at it.

You're not American. You're excused.

This is TROOF... today Americans will act like the teenagers we are. The rest of the world can be grown ups about it.

The boogyman is dead.

And, yes, there's lots of little boogeymen out there.  Terrorism is, of course, largely retail these days.

But yeah, ding dong, the shitneck is dead.

[Cain]

Sorry if I was unclear... I meant that he INSPIRED the fucks that did it.

I don't think he even did that, too much.  KSM had his own grouplet, and refused to integrate fully with Bin Laden's Al-Qaeda until 1999...which was when 9/11 was first planned.  9/11 was also a variation on Bojinka, KSM and Ramzi Yousef's earlier, aborted attack.

Afterwards, I would agree he was an inspiration to many individuals and groups though.

According to the BBC the US didn't let Pakistan know the raid was happening until it had already began. Which is understandable, because Pakistani Intelligence hasn't exactly been the most co-operative group in these matters.

Yes.  Actively helping to hide him is not very co-operative. 

I can hear that phone call.  

"Yo, Syed, Barack, here.  Yeah, you know that asshole we've been looking for?  The one you said you didn't have in your country?  Turns out your guys have him stashed at this address.  I sent my boys in to bring his ass back here so I can kick it around, you might wanna let YOUR boys know to stay the hell out of the way...  No, they should be there anytime, you don't have time to bitch to me about this AND tell your guys to lay low or get their heads shot off...  Yeah, let me know if you've got a problem with that."

Pakistan aren't going to suffer any negative consequences for this.  Not now or ever.

This will get Obama re-elected!! Or damn close.  I'M CALLING IT NOW!!!

Too early.  If this was a stunt, they'd pull it in September or October of 2012.

10 year anniversary coming up in September, looks good for Obama, maybe.

But yeah, he's dead.

Kind of odd they didn't put the SEALS on his ass right away, would've saved a lot of trouble..then again. those were the Bush years..

This is a fact. Pakistan has already gone public with support of this action and how they were partnered with the US.

[Cain]

Tommy Franks refused to station US troops on the Pakistani border.  Cheney let the ISI fly out several planeloads of "consultants and officers" who were almost certainly high ranking terrorists.  Since Tora Bora, the trail has been utterly cold.

I know President Obama understands that getting Bin Laden doesn't mean an end to the war on terrorism but how about a smile? How about showing a little joy? How about a word or two saying something about how this is no doubt a happy or joyous occasion for Americans? We got nothing like that at all. Instead, we got Mr. Monotone. Mr. Bars and Tone. Mr. Non-Emotion.  President Obama missed an opportunity to connect with Americans last night.

So why did he announce the big news like he was reading the dictionary? You know the answer. It's because his speech wasn't so much aimed at Americans. He was being careful of how the "Arab Street" would interpret his remarks. Any hint of gloating or happiness might be rubbing it in the face of some of the crazies in the Arab World and heaven forbid we get them upset! How dare we Americans look like we're celebrating his death! The travesty of it all! Give me a break. Isn't it time to stop catering to thugs

[Prince Glittersnatch III]

I really wish they had captured him alive.

From the reports Im hearing there were 40 SEALS and only about 5 or 10 armed people at Osamas mansion.
I know its not as easy as it sounds nonlethally bringing down an armed man but still...

Also, I remember telling a friend once that wasnt living in a cave he was living in a big city somewhere driving a taxi.
Turns out I was half right.

You're most likely correct.  Obama pretty much confirmed that in his speech.

Tonight, I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts. They agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations. And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates.

Yeah.  The civilian government probably was, to be fair.  Well, elements of the civilian government.  And the head of the Pakistani military is, surprisingly, a fairly decent character.  I'm pretty sure the ISI and the Pasto officer corps protested loudly though, along with the religious political parties they bankroll.

Right, because a shit-eating grin is exactly what you want to show after you kill someone. Terrorist or not.

Go to hell, GOP.

[Cain]

The GOP are sociopaths.  I'm pretty sure Dick Cheney can only get it up to snuff porn.

If he had done this with any sense of "gloating or happiness" they would have accused him of acting unprofessional (rightfully so in my opinion)



Also, "We are not at war with Islam." = "Catering to thugs and arab crazies" therefore "All of Islam is thugs and crazies."
