I still remember all the flags and "Never Forget" messages you had on the front page of SubSim back then in 2001, Neal. I bet it sure feels good to still be around when OBL isn't.

Yes sir, it does. This has been a long time coming, Mission accomplished, for real this time.

A mission like that?
You don't go in holding fire.
You kill every SOB in the AO so you can go home alive.

Just to clarify Neal in case you mis took the meaning my post such a thing is not what I meant.I have several very close friends who are in this fight and I myself was apart of it.I am saying that we will still have much do to complete our goals yet Bin Laden was but one of them.

The groups that are a threat to us are still out there and are very motivated Bin Laden is a set back indeed but this is not over until we destroy the abilities of AQ and affiliates completely and that will take time.Assuming that "we won" simply because Bin Laden is dead is a mistake my concern is that the powers that be make this mistake.AQ is more of a Hydra than a snake we must cut off every head and lance the neck to kill it.(I dont mean to say that you have the "we won" line of thinking Neal just using the example not trying say this your is feeling

)

@Stealhead, I agree, this fight isn't over, but I am sure going to relish this victory. I hope they can determine which US soldier put the first bullet in that basstrd and that solider gets his picture on the $20 bill.

From what I've heard it was an operator from the Teams that got him. I doubt we will know who did it until that guy retires, security concerns for ongoing or past ops and all.

Suffice it to say there will be a lot of free rounds of drinks around Coronado and Little Creek tomorrow.

EDIT: Looks like the free drinks are going to be at Oceana NAS home of SEAL Team Six. Way to go ST6!

WTFG!

The message was clear. If you seek to terrorize the world, the United States will seek to end your terror no matter how long it takes. Our resolve has been tested but not diminished.

In one dispatch I read, The line went this way:

Obama may have started the week by handing over a birth certificate but ended it with a death certificate.

Good bye Osama. May God have mercy on your soul.

Indeed. The weekend started with an awesome wedding in London, and ended with an awesome funeral in Islamabad.

I need more weekends like this one.

It took the US nearly 10 years to find and kill him but they can finally say they got the (insert explicitive here) that brought the country to a stand still on 9/11/01.

He played one heck of a game of hide and seek but now he can spend eternity rotting in every level of hell there is. No virgins for you!

Good work.

Hottentot · 05-02-11, 12:23 AM

I'm sure someone will come along somewhere shortly to complain that he should have been captured and given a fair trial. In some other case I could even see myself doing so but here? Screw it. At least this way we were spared from the international media broadcasting his every word to the world, making him even greater martyr than he will now become.

I admit I didn't feel anything when reading this piece of news. So he is dead, hooray. Nevertheless I'm wishing the best to everyone who has been waiting for this moment for almost ten years. You deserve your party tonight
