Bush had Bin Laden cornered in the Tora Bora mountains about 10 years ago. How did that work out?
They sent in Afghans to capture Bin Laden and ....poof ... Bin Laden is gone ...
This time, Obama sends in troops to KILL NOT CAPTURE ... he doesn't tell the Pakis ... and nobody else knows jack-shit.
If you're thinking that these guys "just give orders", you're kinda naive.
We go through hell to bring sadaam back alive, just seems a little strange to me that the objective was to kill not capture. I hope this information is true however I'm having a hard time believing it. So they just let us take osama's body?? And there were only 4 other people killed? I thought that guy rolled with a army of towel headedfucks?
(CNN) -- A DNA match confirms Osama bin Laden was killed in a U.S. operation, a senior administration official told CNN Monday.There are also photographs of the body with a gunshot wound to the side of the head that shows an individual who is not unrecognizable as bin Laden, a U.S. government official said.No decision has yet been made on whether to release the photographs and if so, when and how.
The mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks -- the worst terrorist attacks on American soil -- was killed by U.S. forces Monday in a mansion in Abbottabad, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) north of the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, U.S. officials said.Four others in the compound also were killed. One of them was bin Laden's adult son, and another was a woman being used as a shield by a male combatant, the officials said.A U.S. government official told CNN the operation that killed the founder and leader of al Qaeda was designed to do just that, not to take him alive. But another senior U.S. official told CNN the operation included instructions to arrest bin Laden alive if he surrendered -- however, no one involved expected that he would surrender.Details of exactly how the raid played out have not been released.

Don't get me wrong I'd rather have him dead than living it up in a mansion but not sure I understand all the people partying in front of the white house. I watched the news last night but I never once thought about running down to the bar to celebrate...
Kind of reminds me of Chris Rock talking about how black people were too happy when OJ wasn't found guilty but and white people too mad. I know these events aren't the same. I agree with other posters that I hope this doesn't cause something else to happen.

This will defiantly create some recourse, but we got their leader and they are extremely broken. I watched a special on Bin Laden a few years back and this guy was pretty brilliant. I am thinking it could be a once in a lifetime deal with how stupid those towel heads really are. As an American, we should all be jumping for joy and celebrating,,,,,regardless how many years it has been since 9-11. This man was the definition of evil, and he lost. I am proud to be an American today and hearing of this news.
How can you think that with their leader gone, they will be able to pull off what they were capable of with Bin Laden at the helm. I would be eager to say that the US government now smells blood in the water and they will go after the remains of al Qaeda and really bury them. The method of attack for those Navy Seals was unbelievable! I am not going to explain what went down, but for a matter of 40 minutes to be in and out with the body of the most dangerous man in the world without anyone having a clue is just bad ass in my book.
And for those of you who question if this is him, grow up and get a life! Be proud to be an American.
BTW, I will tip my hat to Obama. I can not stand the man as the President, but this was a pretty swift move to make the call and carry it out the way it went down. To make the call to go and kill the most wanted man in the world, USA #1 enemy, on Friday and be chill about it until last night (from a public view) is impressive. I don't know if I would be able to keep that a secret for two days.
Congrats to the military, US government, and all others that were involved in this. Historic day to be an American citizen.

Not true, when Obama first got into office he let his staff know that killing Osama was a #1 priority.
There was no plan to take him alive
