OT- Osama Bin Laden is Dead

Submitted by BiSB on

Apparently something big is happening in the world.  We have NO idea what.  But I suggest you get to a television.

The only thing they have said is that it is "national security related."

EDIT: Twitter is abuzz with a rumor that we got Bin Laden.  Waiting for TomVH to confirm. Also, If this is too political, feel free to delete.  But I thought this might generate some interest.

EDIT II: CNN confirms: the United States has the body of Osama Bin Laden.  War on Terror Muppets.

EDIT III: Thread locked to prevent the inevitable political flame war from escalating. [ZL]

Wow, my posts disappeared because I posted OBL is not wanted by the FBI for 9/11.  Look it up for yourself.  Is this America?

From what I understand he has been dead since 2002 from kidney problems.  He was receiving dialysis at US hospitals in 2001 for this condition.

I'm not a huge hawk, but I would love my country so much if Obama's speech was timed to occur exactly as the first cruise missile slammed into Pakistan.  If Pakistan and their ISI has been protecting this guy for 10 years they need to burn for this.

I'm happy this was announced. I was getting really tired of people speculating about tomorrow's commitment.
