Bin Laden Dead?

In the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, one western diplomat described the news as a "game changer" – not just for al-Qaida, but also for US foreign policy in Pakistan and Afghanistan, a region embroiled in turmoil and violence since 2001.

"I'm overjoyed," said the diplomat. "But what this exactly means is really not clear."

J***** D*****
Bin Laden BEEN DEAD! They needed something to pull Obama out the slumps of extremely low approval, sinking economy, the coming inflation (get ready people!), and the unpopular warS we are engaged in and get him ready for re-election.

J***** D***** Just watch how they play this one. How did they order and kill today and have a DNA match all in a couple hours? DNA tests take 5-10 days, 72hrs if expedited. Look it up! Show me the photos, an indie 3rd party DNA test and indie forensic exam proving time, place and cause of death.

i am sort of bummed that we weren't invited to rend, bathe in and eventually consume his body in some kind of orgiastic public ritual. obama admin always always kind of missing the point.

I thought they'd cut his head off and drag his body around Manhattan behind a horse and cart?

seems like a good guy tbh, he isn't flogging his own t-shirt or anything

Clayton McCleskey, a journalist with The Dallas Morning News, was outside the White House shortly before Mr Obama began his announcement and says the crowd grew quickly but organically, fuelled by social media.

"There are a couple of universities that are pretty close to the White House and so it appeared that initially it was mostly students," he told ABC News Online.

"It was a very young crowd. There were a few maybe 30- or 40-somethings but a lot of 20-year-olds.

"Everybody had their phones out. Everybody was on Facebook. Everybody was texting. I heard a lot of people on their phones saying 'hey, come meet me'."

McCleskey says his immediate reaction upon seeing the crowd - which he estimated at 2,000 - was "oh gosh, this is horrible. This is just like a drunken soccer party".

"There were people who had taken out bottles of vodka and were drinking in the streets and were running around with American flags," he said.

think this was mentioned already but

Are they going to stuff him and mount him like a grizzly and set him up in the White House foyer?

Nah he's already been eaten by zionist sharks.

Giggling WNYC correspondent reported that revelers in Times Square were telling her "the war is over."

Unlimited idiocy.

Well, the war on Bin Laden is pretty much over.

What's with the buried at sea thing, btw? Is that a euphemism for ignominiously dumping the body in the ocean?

And who gets the reward?

Good morning! What happened last night?

Bin Laden blowin' up.

Interesting:

After bin Laden was killed in a raid by U.S. forces in Pakistan, senior administration officials said the body would be handled according to Islamic practice and tradition. That practice calls for the body to be buried within 24 hours, the official said. Finding a country willing to accept the remains of the world's most wanted terrorist would have been difficult, the official said. So the U.S. decided to bury him at sea.

^^^no one can make a pilgrimage

^^^ Same thing happened to Eichmann.

They 'offered' the body to Saudi Arabia, but that country refused iirc

the disinformation I was referring to has nothing to do with whether or not he is dead

While that has a morbid logic, I gotta say this whole situation is decidedly weird.

Uh the burial thing not lorax and his technicolour nutcasecoat.

suck it Trayce

lol xp

i have an uneasy feeling that the "Osama's not dead" furor is gonna be like the birther controversy x1000
