It’s not closure. His legacy lives on. But… it’s something.
It was one thing when he was supposedly in the tribal area hiding in a cave, but Islamabad? In a mansion?
Fuck you, Pakistan.
He died one week ago.
I am raising a snifter of Bruichladdich 12 year old Second Edition Single Malt… not to death, but to a new feeling of life and safety that we now have.
What will the nitpicky petty critical spin be on Fox News? “Obama keeps children up past their bedtime”?
Bet there was an informant. Who got the Billions? Judas!
Tireless, my ass.
Well, they are fake shows. However, I think multiple tests have been run.
I’m certainly willing to make an exception in this case. I would dance on his cold, dead body given half a chance.
I wonder if anyone will be eligible to collect the reward, like that guy who turned in the location of Saddam Hussein’s sons. There was US$50 million on bin Laden’s head. If it were me, I’d turn every cent of it over to that 9/11 foundation for the survivors, the one that … Clinton and Bush Sr? … run.
I have a feeling he wasn’t exactly taking his mail there, or receiving collect phone calls.
Actually, I’m scheduled to fly in a couple of weeks and I’m a little nervous about it. I mean, between this and the death of Gaddafi’s son, I’m sure that some people are out for revenge.
The 18 year old Glenfidditch it is.
May this fuel whichever fire he’s burning in.
Yes. It’s a morale boost, for sure, but the job hasn’t changed and the work is still huge.

Well it is been one hour plussince Obama was supposed to announce. No wonder it took us so long to get the bastard.
I think it’s as likely that this was a CIA operation as a military one. They’re at least as likely to have the kind of deep intelligence, and we know that there are CIA operatives in Islamabad. I’m not one to celebrate death, but if anyone had this coming, it was bin Laden. I suspect this will get cleared up in Obama’s speech.
Donald Trump is demanding to see Osama’s death certificate.
Wasn’t Pakistan CIA-only? Or am I mistaken?
Somewhere on the strike team was a RCMP “Mountie” - they always get their man.
I’ll savor the moment when we stop buying the oil that is financing terrorism. When we have government MANDATED alternative energy; when the oil companies are FORCED to develop other fuels; and when all the multinational executives in bed with the Saudis are executed for treason. The only way to win the “war on terror” is to first win the war on oil. That is the only way. In the 60s, Kennedy said “we WILL go to the moon” and the whole country pulled together to do it. There was a crash program by the government to get to the moon, and we did it before the end of the decade. The EXACT SAME THING MUST HAPPEN with getting off of oil.
Osama Bin Laden is nothing. The real enemy we have to defeat is our addiction to oil that sponsors terrorism and dictatorship.
