I’d pulled up the Dope to take a quick peek before going to bed at about 10PM (Mountain) and saw the main thread in MPSIMS.
“What the bloody fuck???” I said and pulled up CNN’s site. There it was. So I came back here and read the thread. I called my mom. I read a bunch of news sites. I didn’t go to bed early like I had been planning.
Then I went to bed, feeling deeply relieved (I had been convinced that either he’d been dead for years, or that we’d never find him, not that I thought about it much) and satisfied. One bastard down. Particularly, that bastard down. Good riddance.
I imagine a few, if not several, Intelligence Stars and definitely some of the Seal 6 equivalent “campaign” awards have been issued in some rather clandestine but exuberant ceremonies. Might even have coincided with Obama’s issue of the Medals of Honor.
Wonder who the Vatican Warlock Assassin was?
You may want to start a Great Debates thread about this (or review old ones). From my standpoint this comment is horrendously wrong.
My husband had gone to the vet to put our dog to sleep, and I was surfing Facebook while waiting up for him. I saw the first posts there. Our dog was born on 9/11/01, so it’s like he was waiting for bin Laden to die before he could finally rest.
I forget how I heard, but my reaction was, “Got the bugger!”
