Osama bin Laden dead (Official)

[Cincinnatus]

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

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.

Confirmed that we "should stay vigilante in our war against terror."

"We will be relentless in defence of our citizens, and friends and allies."

Abbottābad, Pakistan, fyi.

"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. 

Was it as satisfying as you imagined?

I have a big grin on my face and a warm feeling in my heart.  The plane heading for the Pentagon flew over my head and the one that went down in Shanksville flew over my cemetery plot.

I am absolutely overjoyed that he is rotting and that I am typing.  

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

That was a great ending to that speech.

[Countess Anya of the North Parish]

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

How so?

Well I really hate it when people use patriotism as a licsence to kill. Our people? you kidding me? The only thing that makes us american is us just saying we are. nothing else. I find is dishonest. It makes me want to vomit when he pulls a card like that. Be honest and keep the facts clean. And stop brainwashing us into thinking we are one when we dont even know half of the peopl living in america. yuck!

[Cincinnatus]

Oh my.. He said "One nation under God..", "God Bless America". 

Let the secular hysteria commence. 

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

FOX is saying that he called the President and Prime Minister regarding the attack.  Not sure if that means before or after it happened though.

What's the point of having a country then?  Or the point of unity?  Or of patriotism all in of itself?

A truly amazing picture I just found on Twitter:

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Bush released a statement saying that Obama called and told him earlier today and he congratulated Obama and the troops.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

But did he say to Bush "we got him"?

[ilikeverin]

Al Jazeera sez that Bin Laden was apparently in a house in the city of Abbottābad itself.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

I'm going to be interested to see some stats on the Twitter updates and Facebook statuses per second from tonight.  It must be wild.

[King]

But did he say to Bush "we got him"?

Bring it on.

there is a point. But it is merely to make social connections. But it should never be used to end someones life and to make to seem that is ok. That makes me mad. A life is a life, and to make us think that because we are 'americans' we have to right to kill someone despite what they have done, and are 'defending our people' is crap. There is no need to lie. If you are going to kill someone it should be because he has killed many people. Not because he killed americans. Had they not been americans obama would not give a sh**t.

Simply put, Osama tried to kill me.  He was not successful.

We remain.

Celebrating the death of someone makes you a dick, but is Bin Ladden an acception to this rule?

And which one do you think matters more to the Americans?  That he killed Americans or that he killed people?  As you said, we do not know half the country itself, but I think it is safe to say that more than half care about the death of Americans than the death of people as a whole.

The scene outside the White House has gotten more lively.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I know I'm going to get attacked for this, but while Presidents Obama and Bush deserve a lot of credit as does our military, all the glory belongs to God.  He gave the US Intelligence the ability to find Bin Laden and delivered Bin Laden into our hands.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Took long enough.

[krazen1211]

Awesome.
