By now we all have heard the a/hole of the century is dead…..bet you are asking…how did we do it?
USA Today tells it…..
A big win in the war on terror…….who will, if anyone, will step up to replace good old OBL….but first, I want to see the body….we have been fooled before…..
I suspect you’re right, although I kind of believe it this time – SO FAR!
However, it’s a bit like if some rabid asshole had shot the boss of BP when all that was at its height – would that have caused BP to fold?
EXACTLY!
Still, it’s good news anyway…
The report is he was buried a sea and within the 24 hour timeline for Muslim burials…..
Yeah… maybe… hmmm.
Bout’ time
I always said he would die around election time….but I thought it would be for GW not a Dem…..
Good news indeed. It will be interesting to see what reactions are to this by the jihadist side, whether this emboldens them or deflates them.
Exsactly what I was saying this morning…..but so far have not seen much reaction…..except that Pakistan sez they did not know he was there and the compound was built next to a military academy of sorts…..HA!
Oh, be fair – it was apparently 800 metres away – that’s at least two to three minutes away!
True that….and no one showed up…no army no police no one….once the gunfire started…..
OBL was a HUGELY charismatic figure (much more so than most leaders anywhere and certainly in the West), so it’s likely it will deflate them somewhat over time. In the short term I would expect rapid and violent “retalliation”, wouldn’t you?
Yes and his second will be planning already…..would be nice if they got a couple of hard drives with lots of info on them and then maybe we could kill this snake completely….
Just thought I would show the reaction in the media to his death……

Interesting that even Al Jazeera can’t find many people who are upset at the asshole’s passing…
That was my thought exactly and there is other reactions……
I was wondering how long it would take the dipshits on the Right to find a fault with the death of OBL.
