Seriously? If I lived in DC and didn’t have a final exam in 12 hours, I’d love to be celebrating in front of the White House now. But it’s highly unlikely that I’ll vote for Obama in 2012.
Weird to imagine what it was like to be the guy that pulled the trigger, putting a bullet in OBL’s head according to MSNBC. Must have been quite the “Holy Shit” moment.
I wonder if Obama has made some inquiries as to the feasibility of making Bin Laden’s balls into a key ring.
Andrea Mitchell is reporting that bin Laden’s body will be treated in accordance with Islamic law. I’m glad to hear that.
Just heard that. And I agree.
CNN has video of compound.
What’s the Islamic tradition for dealing with the corpse of an individual responsible for crimes against humanity?
“Barack HUSSEIN Obama is the worst Muslim sleeper agent of all time! OF ALL TIME!”
Does it not seem odd that there has been no word from the Pakistan government?
No?
That will ruin it for some people.
Has everyone seen the Sam Spratt illustration already?

The thing I’m curious about is - it’s being reported that the ID was confirmed by DNA. In wondering exactly where they got the baseline sample from which to compare it?
So they’ll be taking the body to Dearborn, Michigan.
Good.
Apparently they got it from his sister.
It’s probably hard to find a way to spin it for their population. As the BBC obituary says,
Bin Laden has been estranged from his family, including some of his children, for some time. I don’t think it was difficult to come up with DNA.
That said, if this happened today, as is now reported, DNA has nothing to do with it.

When a man’s partner is killed, he’s supposed to do something about it. It doesn’t make any difference what you thought of him. He was your partner and you’re supposed to do something about it. And it happens we’re in the detective business. Well, when one of your organization gets killed, it’s-it’s bad business to let the killer get away with it, bad all around, bad for every detective everywhere.

When 3000 of our countrymen get killed, the President’s supposed to do something about it. It’s bad business to let the killer get away with it, bad all around, bad for every American everywhere.
Good on everybody, from Obama to the team that actually invaded bin Laden’s compound, who had anything to do with this.
Just read the State Department will be sending out a new worldwide caution for Americans. I just told the wife maybe she shouldn’t walk too closely to me.
That’s nasty.
I’ve been trying to negotiate the GEO TV Pakistan Google hits to link to the video, but I’m a bit hopeless at times.
