Osama bin Laden dead (Official)

[Mr. Morden]

Now let's spend a decade hunting Zawahiri.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

There will be no bounce for Obama because of this.

Could be wrong. Good riddance to Osama though.

I can promise he gets at least some bounce.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I wonder if the world stock markets will shoot up tomorrow?

There will be a positive psychological reaction... but we need to be careful thinking this will change everything... because it's pretty likely that won't be the case.

It's definitely not a fix, but it will help the psychological aspect for tomorrow and likely the majority of the week until the jobs report.  The psychological can be just as important as the physical.  Never underestimate the power of psychology.

[Lief 🗽]

So can we repeal the PATRIOT Act and end the wars now? Or do we still need those?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

CBS says that high level meetings were held at the White House this morning about this. They also said that Obama played 9 holes of golf instead of his regular 18, today.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I can promise he gets at least some bounce.

And, deservedly so.

Maybe a small one. Nothing compared to what Bush would have gotten, or McCain.

Never should have signed the Patriot Act but, the wars can't just all of a sudden.  Even though more people will undoubtedly push for that, and it should happen soon, this is a symbolic victory, not a strategic one.

[Sam Spade]

He was killed in a mansion outside Islamabad?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

So can we repeal the PATRIOT Act and end the wars now? Or do we still need those?

One of the analysts on CBS said stressed that the wars aren't over.


Susan Collins released a statement saying this was a "US Operation" not joint or anything and CBS stated again that this may have been done without the knowledge of Pakistan's gov't that will cause considerable upset there tomorrow.

Probably not, but he'll get at least 20-30 points I'm predicting.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

CBS is now saying he was shot in the head.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Oh i"m sure Rush will use that to spin this against Obama.. "How dare he allow actions in Pakistan!  Now he's destabilizing them!"

Pakistan isn't our ally.  They are our enemy.. but the fact that they have nukes and terrorists/taliban means we have to prop up their government despite their harboring bin Laden and countless other terrorists since 9/11 (and before, of course).

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Well, those were some stupid terrorists.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

CBS says Prez in 90 seconds.

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

Too bad this won't mean anything for Afganistan nor will it tone done security for everything.

And they won't have the Super Bowl in January again.

[J. J.]

"Death will come to you wherever you may be, even if you were in strong fortresses..."

The Holy Koran Nisa 4:78 (part)

I've been waiting nearly a decade to say that. 

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Obama: America conducted an operation that killed Bin Laden.

[2952-0-0]

I liked his poetic start to the speech.

Was it as satisfying as you imagined?

[Countess Anya of the North Parish]

I hate it. He is just horrible. He being obama.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

I hate it. He is just horrible. He being obama.

How so?

[King]

Obama is taking credit with masterful speech-writing.

[J. J.]

I will expect a 10-20 point boost in the polls, but ephemeral.  It will drop out within a fortnight.

We can expect an upswing in terrorist attacks over that same period.

Pakistan may collapse in that time.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

"Today at my direction, the U.S. launched a targeted attack against that compound.

...

After i firefight, they killed Osama Bin Laden and took custody of his body."
