He's been dead for a week :rolleyes:

[dmonroe2008]

obama does not deserve any credit for this. the soldiers across the pond are the ones who deserve credit. obama did nothing.

[theothersawyer]

I Was actually just saying the same thing to my family, but the news keeps saying "Obama Obama Obama"

[dmonroe2008]

its cause the news is stuck on his dick. most civilians don't know how much we do over their. most civilians have no respect for us. most Americans think the president does everything and he does nothing. its stupid. It amazing that when obama goes somewhere he gets cheers. i to the mall of GA in uniform and a old lady told me not to sit close to her while i was eating cause i was dangerous.

[GVfanatic]

TEAM AMERICA FVCK YEAH.!!!

[dmonroe2008]

first they said it was a drone attack, now they are saying that it was us ground troops!! i have no idea anymore. but they said it was right a Pakistan border. if we got him in Pakistan then it could lead to more issues but its worth it. now time to see if the taliban tries to attack us again.

[scandmx5]

There will surely be retaliatory actions taken. Soon.
Geraldo Rivera made a slip a few minutes ago and said "obama is dead" :lol:

[keepitsimple]

I hope they feed his remains to pigs. That would make all islamist know how we feel about their extremist.

[keepitsimple]

I kinda fear the recourse of other Islamic retards here in the states and abroad.

[dmonroe2008]

thats why we should put our military in airports and at least 2-4 on every plane as a deterrent. step up security at our ports and borders. and now we will have Pakistan talk **** cause we went into their border. but hell its a great job. Pakistan should look at what we have done a realize that its not good for them if they start ****.

[dmonroe2008]

I kinda fear the recourse of other Islamic retards here in the states and abroad.

i believe security needs to be beefed up!! military everywhere

[dmonroe2008]

worst part of all of this is now obama will get reelected due to the fact of most Americans thinking he did this. when it was our military.

It doesn't matter... with the campaign gearing up by the end they'll make it seem like Obama himself descended from the heavens and dragged him hogtied back to the U.S. from a helicopter.... lolol.


But, hopefully it wasn't in Pakistan. That will just cause more ****.

[Dr.Drew]

Does this mean I won't get molested at the airport anymore?

That, and a twitch of revenge for my friends/family lost in 9/11.

I really do hope it's true.

Man, you don't waste any time turning good news into political partisan commenting and *****ing do you?

We got him man, enjoy it for a little while, celebrate with the rest of your country! There will be plenty of time to be angry and petty later. :)

We can't handle another front in this war. Im in the military I don't wanna see my battles streched to far to where their not safe. So no its not *****ing. If you don't like what I say then don't post on my comments.

[FooSchnickens]

SEALs put him down. Rumor mill claims it was a P90 that fired the shot.

[subspeed6]

This is quite the huge blow to the terrorist regime and vindication for the US.

HOORAH Navy.

This is a great pic I love it.

[Dr.Drew]

They just brought up a great point on the news. Imagine all they could find within the compound. Years worth of al-queda intelligence that could possibly warn of planned attacks or locations of other leaders.

Computer hard drives, letters, maps, everything.I rout any locations could still be valad after tonight. They have probally moved everything else so we don't get it. But still bound to be some great info!

[FooSchnickens]

I doubt their op was limited to simply killing him. If they took his body they likely took as much material as they could carry as well.

That's not how I ment that to be taken. I do think. Their wilbe attempted attacks from. The taliban. If their is a military presence in airports, border checks, and sea ports it could help to deture the attacks.

were just gonna have to disagree

at no time EVER should the US military be deployed on home soil.

[dmonroe2008]

Official pics should come out this afternoon. I can't believe people are saying already that this is fake. Obama would not have willingly addmitted to bassically a invasion of pakastan if it were not true. And yes technically is can be considered a invasion.

[caseyfoster]

The real question is, WTF was osama doing in a mansion. Great hiding place.

[jzilla]

good read.

(CNN) -- In the dark of night, U.S. helicopters approached a high-walled compound in Pakistan on a mission to capture or kill one of the world's most notorious terrorist leaders.
Less than 40 minutes later -- early Monday morning in Pakistan -- Osama bin Laden was dead, along with four others inside the complex, and the U.S. forces departed with the slain al Qaeda leader's body to fulfill a vow that originated shortly after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.
Speaking from the White House Sunday night, U.S. President Barack Obama announced the successful raid. Senior administration officials provided further details on the assault on the compound they believe was built five years ago for the specific purpose of hiding bin Laden.
The compound is in Abbottabad, about 50 kilometers (31 miles) north of the Pakistani capital of Islamabad. The city sits in a mountainous region of Pakistan and is not heavily populated. Many of the residents are army personnel.

Where bin Laden was killed
While senior administration officials would not offer a breakdown of the U.S. mission's composition, a senior defense official said U.S. Navy SEALs were involved.
After years of intelligence work and months of following a specific lead, they traced a courier linked to bin Laden to the compound in Abbottabad.
When first built, the compound was secluded and reachable by only a dirt road, the officials said. In recent years, more residences built up around it, but it remained by far the largest and most heavily secured property in the area, they said.
The mission ordered Friday by Obama encountered outer walls up to 18 feet tall topped with barbed wire, with two security gates and a series of internal walls that sectioned off different portions of the compound, the senior administration officials said. The main structure was a three-story building with few windows facing the outside of the compound, and a third-floor terrace had a seven-foot privacy wall, they said.
Months of intelligence work determined that the compound was custom-built to hide a high-value terrorism suspect, almost certainly bin Laden. The officials noted there was no telephone or Internet service at the dwelling, which was valued at more than $1 million, and its occupants burned their trash, rather than leave it out for collection like other area residents.
Calling the U.S. operation a surgical raid, officials said it was conducted by a small team and designed to minimize collateral damage. Upon landing, the team encountered resistance from bin Laden and three other men that resulted in a firefight.
In the end, all four of the combatants in the compound were dead, along with a woman whom one of the men used as a human shield, the officials said. Sources said bin Laden was shot in the head.
At some point, one of the assaulting helicopters crashed due to a mechanical failure, according to the officials. It was destroyed as the U.S. team flew away, they said.
Obama and the senior administration officials said no U.S. forces were harmed in the operation, which took place very early Monday morning Pakistan time.

U.S. officials said they used a number of methods to identify the body as bin Laden.
One official said it was clear to the assault force that the body matched bin Laden's description, but they used "facial recognition work, amongst other things, to confirm the identity."
A senior national security official told CNN that they had multiple confirmations that the body was bin Laden, saying they had the "ability to run images of the body and the face."
Another U.S. official told CNN that bin Laden has already been buried at sea. The official said his body was handled in the Islamic tradition, but did not elaborate.
A senior administration official also said bin Laden's body would be "handled in accordance with Islamic practice and tradition. This is something that we take very seriously, and so therefore this is being handled in an appropriate manner."
According to the senior administration officials, intelligence work determined at the beginning of 2011 that bin Laden might be located at the compound in Pakistan. By mid-February, the intelligence was considered strong enough to begin considering action pledged by Obama when bin Laden's whereabouts had been determined.
To discuss that intelligence and develop a plan, Obama chaired five National Security Council meetings from mid-March until late April, with the last two on April 19 and April 28 -- last Thursday. The next day, on Friday, Obama gave the order for the mission, the officials said.
The key break involved one of the few couriers trusted by bin Laden, according to the officials. About two years ago, intelligence work identified where the courier and his brother lived and operated in Pakistan, and it took until August of last year to find the compound in Abbottabad raided Sunday, they said.
"When we saw the compound where the brothers lived, we were shocked by what we saw -- an extraordinarily unique compound," one senior administration official said. "The compound sits on a large plot of land in an area that was relatively secluded when it was built. It is roughly eight times larger than the other homes in the area."
Noting that the courier and his brother had no discernible source of wealth to live at such a property, intelligence analysts concluded the compound was "custom-built to hide someone of extraordinary significance," the official said, adding: "Everything was consistent with what experts thought Osama bin Laden's compound would look like."
Another senior administration official told reporters that Obama's administration did not share intelligence gathered beforehand with any other country -- including Pakistan -- for security reasons. The official said that only a small group of people inside the U.S government knew about this operation in advance.
However, a senior Pakistani intelligence official said members of Pakistan's intelligence service, the ISI, were on site in Abbottabad during the operation. There was no way to immediately resolve the apparent discrepancy.

Yeah I doubt there will be any real photos of his body for a while.

[jzilla]

yeah if he was shot in the head, there would not be much head left.

[metalman]

I dont why the US always kisses ***. Who should give a fvck about islamic law regarding burial in his case? I mean really!! So he was a good muslim??? And we should all respect his "religion"?? That should be an insult to any good muslim.
I dont give a sheit if Osama called himself muslim, catholic, or jehovah witness. He was worthless human garbage. His corpse deserves no special respect.
None at all in fact. They could grind it up and feed it to vultures or pigs for all I care.

[epilonious]

Nah, set him up in a mausoleum up in the middle of freedom tower.

That way any Fundamentalist Islamists who try and bomb or destroy the tower will have to do so knowing they'll be desecrating the body/burial site of one of their greatest heroes. Might as well set up a mosque on the site for good measure.

Confirmed.

His burial should cost $3.79 the price of one gallon of 87 octane.

[jzilla]

i think its higher than that now.

[FooSchnickens]

yeah if he was shot in the head, there would not be much head left.
Depends on the caliber used. A round from a pistol or PDW would cause minimal external damage compared to a rifle round (especially subsonic), though if it were a SEAL team they were likely using a 416 or Mk18 with a P226 as a sidearm.
