OT- Osama Bin Laden is Dead

Submitted by BiSB on May 2nd, 2011 at 2:37 AM

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]

I'm pretty sure Bin Laden's last horcrux was Obama's full form birth certificate.

On September 11, 2001 of the 2996 victims of the 911 attacks 24 were Canadians. As in the United States, our lost brother and sisters have never been forgotten here. I'm pleased that the man responsible for these heinous attacks that killed so many Americans and other nation's citizens has been brought to justice. Finally. A great job done by those service men/women involved.

My favorite part was that a team of Navy SEALs came in, shot him in the head, then carried his body away.

The best part of this, is that there were no casualties among our forces. This was a very dangerous operation, and special ops carried it out brilliantly. Let this be a warning to all who would make war on our people. The brave men and women who are currently serving, will see to it that you learn the meaning of an old saying...

We got you.

You thought us soft. You thought us unable and unwilling to pursue you, wherever you might hide. You were wrong. Rot with Saddam, Zarkawi, and all the others we have already gotten who don't even rate being named here, and make room for the others to come.

We got you.

A congressional source familiar with the operation that killed Osama bin Laden confirmed that the terror mastermind was shot in the head during the U.S. raid, according to a briefing the source received, CNN's Dana Bash reports.

Three other men were killed in the firefight, and a woman being used as a human shield was also killed, the officials said. There were no U.S. casualties, the officials said. The U.S. team was at the compound for about 40 minutes, officials said.

Political lines should not exist right now. No Republicans, no democrats, no libertarians, no socuialists. Just members of the free world. This is well over a decade in the making, enjoy it. Cheers!
