Bin Laden Dead?

OOPS

Yeah, I have no qualms celebrating when evil people die.

god how did he get elected

brian williams and msnbc correspondent like, can't believe the news was kept quiet, 'amazing that nobody texted anybody OMG OBL!'

man on the street interviews are the best right now

I wonder how many people knew, and what it was like carrying that info around for months.

I try in almost all cases to be anti-death and anti-war but really, if anyone in the world deserved a bullet in the head

YES this is my position exactly.

haha ilx liveblogging of msnbc getting to hawaii faster than msnbc apparently

this whole thing threw me out of whack, cuz I'm borderline socialist, anti-death penalty, and pacifist as you are a hoy hoy, and I also was very WHO GIVES A SHIT when Saddam was captured (though I opposed that war anyway)...but I do feel satisfied at this.

like I mean, there's a very long list of people that I'd either be happy or ambivalent about if they were killed, and he was most definitely on it.

NRO has osama corpse pictures up already, which seems about right.

Decapitation has already repurposed them for their next album cover

"it has been almost ten years since the twin towers came down and now bin laden...is down." thanks, wolf.

Wolf Blitzer arguably the worst person in "news". Even worse than a drunk Jon King.

BBC Talking Head #124 says he has a picture of Dead Osama on his phone, think he is just BRAGGIN' 2011 about owning a smartphone.

i'm sorry you lost your friend, omar little.

msnbc is really a garbage network, but more pronounced on the weekends with their "docs".

alright yeah

pakistani tv showing a building, supposedly the one he was hiding in, in flames.

yep, that's the internet in one screengrab.

I'm sad there aren't better histories of Delta and DEVGRU/SEAL Team Six out there. There's Inside Delta Force and one about the hunt for Bin Laden in Tora Bora, pieces in Black Hawk Down, but for the most part there's very little legit literature on them. (Not surprising, of course.)

no lolcats, no credibility

did you guys catch the 6 or 7 person "crowd" outside Bush's house in Dallas? Wonder how long they hung around.

Supposedly this is a screenshot from just after Seth Meyer's joke about Osama's location last night:

that looks exactly like his reaction to most of the jokes

UPDATE II: It now seems all but certain that this photo is a fake.

Looked sketchy.

ya it did

nah he totally laughs like that

it is kinda funny to me that for 10 years everyone has been making cave jokes & dude was out living in a massive mansion

so.. now what? we out of afghanistan?

loool geraldo reporting live outside the white house surrounded by college students

i wandered around the WH myself a while earlier. crowded like election night. dudes climbing the lampposts outside the gates (which are like 20 ft+ tall?) to hang american flags

it is kinda funny to me that for 10 years everyone has been making cave jokes & dude was out living in a massive mansion

Jeff Dunham furiously updating his act

Possible to be relieved he's dead without chanting USA like your team won the big game!

would have loved if Obama could have announced this during his WHCD speech and sent everyone in the room scrambling to report

Possible to be relieved he's dead without chanting USA like your team won the big game!

That's unamerican, tbh.

j/k

We finally won the big game after nine years of overtime

Obama's pretty much had the perfect weekend.

I can't remember who said it on twitter now (it was a couple hours ago), but someone was talking about how the GOPers would eventually complain about the Obama administration not observing Islamic tradition re: Osama's remains.

Flip to FOX just now...it's what they're talking about! Apparently the body will be buried by 4pm local time tomorrow.

Twitter, so grain of salt:
"Compound Osama found in had been BUILT FOR HIM AND HIS FAMILY at cost of over $1 million. No tv, phone, or internet. He lived there for 5yrs"

Good news to wake up to.

So he's the opposite of some famous Hollywood actors.

FOX (so take that as you will) saying Seals offered safe surrender—Bin Laden turned it down—used someone as a human shield before finally being shot.

(That sounds like State Dept propaganda imo)
