They knew his name because a certain Khalid Sheikh Mohammed told us.

Which means, dare I say it, Gitmo produced results.

I wonder if operations in Libya will suddenly cease and desist.

Well, Bush dropped the ball in a legal war, so he could start another in Iraq. Facts are showing fairly clear Obama put much more effort into getting Osama, Bush sort of made him a non issue.

Thanks to Obama, at least that one mission is accomplished...

Congratulations, America.

What is really funny though is that today I told a friend of mine - who is an Afghani and damn happy that you got the **** - that in about a week's time from now there will be conspiracy theories rampant, on how you didn't really get him, or how you really got a scapegoat, because OBL himself never really existed, since he was only an invention of the CIA etc, especially since you just dumped him into the sea (WTF???? WHY??).

I was wrong on the timing though. Since already on this very day, today, I ran into 3 people afterwards who told me it was all a farce. One of them is a university student, and another one didn't even get the memo until I told him, yet he instantly concluded it was not for real.

Well, people will believe what they want to, especially if they have an agenda or an irrational hatred within themselves, facts be damned. I guess this is the price you pay for being "the superpower". What to say? I say **** them. You got the bitch, and that is what counts.

Bless you.

Photo apparently taken during the raid. Obama and his company followed the attack through video-link.

I have to be around university students all day and if you want facts or rational discussion do not talk to them.

They are all idiots...

Osama bin Laden, 54-year-old leader of the international terrorist group al-Qaeda and mastermind of the 9/11 attacks that took nearly 3,000 American lives in 2001, was killed early Monday morning in Pakistan while sitting on the toilet, the U.S. populace took great pleasure in imagining today. “Just thinking about the stupid look on that evil bastard’s face when those Navy SEALs kicked in the bathroom door and started blasting away—it’s so totally priceless,” said Queens, NY resident Rachel Sumner, one of 311 million Americans who reveled in a fictional scenario in which bin Laden met his gruesome and humiliating end while sitting on the commode, humming to himself, and reading a newspaper.

I keep seeing press about his luxurious compound, and sometimes "mansion."

The place looked like a dump, and is considerably smaller than my house. A million doesn't get much in some crappy suburb if Islamabad, does it? Seriously, what's the per capita income there, a million should buy a frickin palace, not a 3000ft^2 dump (described in one report as "a sprawling 3000 ft^2 mansion." (the average US home is ~2400 ft^2 for comparison).

I don't start even thinking "mansion" til over 10,000 ft^2.
