I was just gonna start this thread. AWESOME.
Has Trump taken credit yet?
Wow, this is big
u mad boog?
I'm mad that I didn't get to start this thread.
About my uncle getting killed? Nah, no big deal.
AMERICA!!! FUCK YEAAHHHHH!!!
CLICK HERE FOR CNN on Justin.tv
imo nothing will change as far as terrorism goes
bin laden was a major threat because of is cash, the cash hasn't disappeared and will be handled by a new man with the same goals and aspirations
yeah but its symbolicQuote:

i think in the muslim community he was a great speaker with alotta influence
well its sort of like the americans have a trophy now for being at war with whoever it is they are at war with these days (I pay no attention to this stuff) because they haven't really had much to show for it (as far as I know?) aside from soldiers (Canadian ones too) dying and billions (?) of tax dollars being flushed away into military stuff.Quote:

Oh and nothing about terrorism will be neutralized. The big money and big politics interests need it, and it will only get bigger over the years.
This is symbolic and will help Barry get reelected
The genius of Bin Laden was his ability to unite disparate groups of loons, losers, castoffs in the Muslim world ready to kill themselves with deep-pocketed sympathizers, criminal arms dealers and strategists. Regardless of how much influence he still had over direct terrorist operations, removing him is a pretty huge blow to AQ simply because of his symbolic value as the guy who was living free as the most wanted man in the world.
^ hahahaha
Interesting that the statement was a very verbose standard speech, Barry's properly taking ownership of this.
also lol @ all the Washington fratboys on TV
may that fucking shitbag rot in hell....
no virgins for you....
The end of a sad chapter in american history? Hope so! Gw america
I stopped thinking about Osama ~2 years ago, so he's been dead to me for a long time.
or
If a Muslim dies in the desert and no one is around does he make a sound?
Just listened to Obama's press conference. He was keen to take ownership of that one, "I" this and "under my" etc etc. Made me like him a little less, I would have thought this would have been a time for humility.
No time for humility while you're pissing on someone's grave
Racist ban imo.
Admittedly I pay little attention, but for the first time I got the feeling today that, to use a 24 analogy, Obama is more president Logan than President Palmer.
Also, Americans....WTF! Taking to the streets and chanting? Burning effigies? Genuine elation and celebrations? WTF?! Reminds me of somewhere else, now where was it?
well since 9/11 was an inside job i'm not impressed
It's America, Osama bombed the shit out of idk, some building that was used for something, and 10 years, few thousand American lives, and trillions of dollars spent, WE GOT HIS ASS!!!!!!11
America... winning, duh.
Brb, going to light a cross on fire in Durka Durka's yard down the road to show him WE MEAN BIDNIZ
Does this mean the *war* is over? Does this mean everybody gets to go home? Does this mean no more innocents are going to die to make a statement?
If so I'm happy. If not I couldn't care less.
That he continued to live while we hunted him was a sign that he was a chosen leader. Now that his ass is grass, maybe it'll be harder for them to recruit.Quote:

It won't be ending with gas prices at $5 a damn gallon.Quote:

Yup. Turn the whole godforsaken place into a glass parking lot. The only thing that bothers me about Osama's death is that I'm not the one that pulled the trigger.Quote:

There was a billion dollar reward on the fbi web site. americas most wanted. Has our been claimed?
Wait... did we kill Osama Bin Laden or Usama Bin Laden?
Now that he is dead, can someone figure out how to spell his fucking name?
Believe it or not, his name is from an entirely different language. I don't think his parents considered the confusion in translating when they named him.
Best quote I've read: "A man is killed.
And the politicians will say "behold the bad guy, dead by our righteous hands." And the good hearted people will rejoice and sleep in their beds and know justice exists in this world. And the few will lord over the many. And the wars will continue. And bombs will still fall. And people will still die. And one day a McDonalds will stand where once a missile struck like lightning. And an orphan will super-size your meal for an extra dinar."

lololol at anyone thinking this changes anything/ makes shit any better.
blows my goddamn mind how stoked everyone is about this/lol at all the DC bros in front of the whitehouse making goddamn fools out of themselves.
imean ffs i understand if ones bitter about a family member being killed on 9/11 or whatever, but fuck, killing osama for "revenge" or "justice" is just fucking retarded.
also, no way in hell this means the war is "over" or our troops come home now, despite what halfwits on fb are posting as their status'
/rant
that being said, the guy who shot osama is prob so shithoused right now.
WHERE IS THE DEATH CERTIFICATE?

Also, it should be pretty clear to people that a martyr was just made. Former Bin Laden followers are not going to suddenly be like, "Oh snap, the big hancho is dead!... well I guess America isn't so bad.. maybe I'll immigrate and drive a taxi in NYC or summfin..."
Don't forget, it takes 3 years to get a halfway decent forgery.Quote:

If he had not been there, who knows what would have happened.”
“Not a single intelligence adviser, not a single national security adviser or military adviser came up with the idea. Not one of them — not one of them, according to Obama — had the ability to understand the need to get DNA. This was Obama’s message last night. He said, quote, ‘I assembled the team.’ He refused to give the team the green light for the last three months, ’cause the team wanted to go in and create mayhem, and Obama alone — Barack Obama alone — knew the right way to do this.”
you don't think it's a little dickheaded of obama to take all the credit?Quote:

I don't think it is the right pic. Where are the wings, nachos and beer in the pic?
You may want to read the rest of what he said about the subject.Quote:

Rush is right, though. Obama can't take all the credit.
Right or wrong are entirely without meaning when you're talking about who should be taking credit for this.
Everyone knows that it doesn't fall to one person. Everyone knows Obama is best situated to put the accolades in his pocket and back-patting on his back. So it goes.
It's just like how empty Obama ending his speech with all that God crap is. It's just an aside to the meat of the fun. Usama is dead.
That is an amazing pic. Talk about telling a story.Quote:

the pics on cnn are really cool. i've never seen such highly classified meetings get documented like this (then again, i'm young and am not a huge press junkie).
also, i like how the general at the head of the table is like, "watchin this shit gives me the hankerin to play counterstrike. i wonder if anyone would notice if i snuck a game in right now..."
Classified to 18+ amirite?Quote:
