Bin Laden is dead Megathread

[Qazox]

I am glad Osama is dead, but did you notice that during President Obama's speech he never once mentioned that he had opposed the war? di you also notice he din't say Bush's name once? now an once anti-war guy who promised to withdraw the troops (which I was and still am opposed to), is now styling himself the guy who coordinated it and ccomposed it and saying that it was his idea all along,

Uhm.. He did mention Dubya, about 5 minutes in.

Who cares about anti-war/ pro-war right now. We're here to celebrate the death of one of the most evil people that has lived.

Ok, is anyone else surprised that they were able to keep this quiet for a week? You'd think the Internet rumor mills would be burning up the series of tubes with rumors of Osama Bin Laden death and the fire fight that broke out.

It wasn't a week. The operation started in the week, the actual capture and gunfight was today.

[Antilon]

What?

Since when?

What?

You're saying that they had Bin Laden for a week? I'm not naive enough to believe this all just happened, but a week?

[Euronion]

If you people think it is over, think again. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

MODEDIT: Not any more, there aren't. This was just too OTT.

I thought they had his body for a week, they were just waiting for DNA. My bad.

Irony: The ads on the bottom of the page are advertising Navy SEAL watches.

Hell yeah.

[The Grand World Order]

The Navy SEALs (who were the ones who got him) released pictures of his dead body.

He was shot in the head repeatedly. While he was never really a looker in the first place, holy shit, it's not pretty.

Odds are that it'll be kept quiet, if not a secret, to avoid that any team member or their families from being targeted by revenge killings. If the members of the team have an ounce of sense 9and I lay odds they do) then the line will never be used by anybody actually able to honestly say it.

There'll be plenty of assholes ready to claim it anyway, always some bit of human detritus willing to steal some valor when they don't deserve it.

I can smell the jizz on this post.

Seconded (but might want to spoiler and disclaimer to protect from the prohibition on obscene or shocking images)

What?

Since when?

What?

The NY Times and the LA Times are both saying "Sunday," Wils, not "last Sunday" or "on April 24th." This happened today.

[KonataLand]

Eck, I actually don't know if I'd want to see that.

Ok ok, I was mistaken....sorry.

Didn't this happen today?

If he was captured last Sunday, it would've been on my birthday.

How awesome would that've been?

[Demopolitania]

USG said they'll handle the body in accordance with Islamic tradition.

That's noble at least.

Indeed. Quite a day, my friend, quite a day.

All revenge fantasies aside, that is probably best...but damn it is so tempting to go draw-and-quartering on his ass.

Well that's noble....not sure if he deserves the noble treatment though. If it was me, I'd just chuck him out in the middle of no where and let the birds have him.
