Obama announcing death of Osama bin Laden [edited title]

Of course. Someone might think she’s your bitch.

This is one worry… is it going to open up a new can of worms andcause more acts of terrorism? I pray to whatever God is listening that it does not.

Please note that the smiley face was after the second sentence, not the first one.

LMAO!! That is SO funny!

My Great Uncle, Leo F. Forbstein, was the Musical Director for The Maltese Falcon.

Coincidence?

I think not.

:smiley:

Yeah, well, this might be news to some of y’all, but Al Qaeda was already trying to kill us. They’re not going about their lives, ready for bygones to bygones, but now we pissed them off and they’re coming for us.

… So convenient with the Prince being married.

I wonder if we’ll get any identification on the names of those on SEAL team, or on who got the kill shot (which they might not even know for sure). That had to have been a surreal experience for those guys.

Credit to the team for their efficiency, but a hell of a lot of credit should go to the CIA too for getting the intel, getting it right and putting the SEALS in a position to TCB.

We should be grateful they didn’t put a (D) next to his name.

This might be news to you but they’ve already been coming for us. I doubt they have access to as much of his funding now so I’m not going to lose any sleep worrying about it.

Let’s hope not!

I might be remembering it wrong but IIRC from the SEAL/pirate conflict they didn’t release names. I doubt they will here either though it would be cool if they did. I agree it must have been a surreal moment - albeit tempered by the firefight.

They spelled it the same way the FBI does, btw.

Since you reiterate my point, I guess it’s not news to me.

Do we know for sure that they were SEALS? I mean, certainly they could have been, but it seems equally possible to me that these were Delta Force or any of the other elite military organizations who do this sort of thing.

Not sure if that’s photoshopped, but apparantly an MSNBC reporter made that mistake as well.

No, but that is what is being reported.

Pretty awesome, way to go Obama!

It’s an easy mistake to make. I almost almost did the same thing in one of my posts.

I thought I saw or heard someplace that they were SEALS. I had it in my head for some reason that they were, but I’ve been surfing so much media, I don’t remember where I saw it.

Whoever it was, I think it might actually be better if we never learn their names. We never learned the names of the teams that shot those Somali pirates. Being the guy who got the kill shot on Osama bin Laden and not being able to talk about it would be a hell of a thing, though.

On the other hand, at least we’ll know that anyone in a bar who says they were on that team will be a liar. The guys who really get on thsoe kinds of ultra-elite teams are there partially because they aren’t the types to run their mouths off in bars. They aren’t loudmouths or blowhards. They’re professionals and adults. I would also bet that they wouldn’t say who got the kill shot even if they know. It was a team operation and a team kill.
