"Thanks a lot Bin Laden."


Serously...the fucker finally got what he deserved. Some people around the world might call it vengence...know what...I'm OK with that. Only regret should be that we cant kill him twice.

Long live the USA!

Oh...and we may just have to raise a glass for Seal Team Six.

Good job boys...glad you all came back.

Hate to be a downer but doesn't anyone else think it's strange that they already disposed of the body? It only happened yesterday....

Islamic tradition is to bury the body within 24 hours. What, you think they made it up, only to have him embarrass them weeks later by releasing a video proving himself to be alive?

[BCBunni]

My father is muslim and I've been to many muslim funerals/viewings and they never happened the day after. I understand it's supposed to be very fast after the death but wouldn't it make sense to wait to bury him knowing that the world is going to want to proof?? Yes, it's tradition but he killed so many people and wreaked such havoc that (IMO) they could have waited a couple days to help ease the minds of people all around the world...

I don't want to get on anyones bad side or upset anyone - just wanted to point out that we should get all the facts before believing everything we read/hear.

i wont believe it until theres a picture

My understanding from muslims i know is that 24 hours is preferred, but is old Law/tradition, and that 3 days is acceptable. Now when dealing with the extremist which do you think they live by.

At first I was skeptical about the burial happening so fast, but I also read that Saudi Arabia did not want to claim the body to give him a burial so they gave him an Islamic burial at sea. I can accept that... especially because they say he was shot in the head twice (one hitting his eye). Who wants to see that? I've watched the video walkthrough of the aftermath....and somebody definitely got shot. They say there are pictures of Osama but due to the head trauma its hard to discern the identity.

I think parading the body around would just have the extremist screaming "Haraam" and allow them to use it for recruiting purposes.

What else you gonna do with the body? DNA matched it 99.9%. They dumped that fool where no shrine can be erected for him.

About the pic...all in due time. I heard its pretty graphic! Team 6 is tha sh!t!!

Did anybody see the fox news subtitle that read "Obama Bin Laden Dead?"

Did anybody see the fox news subtitle that read "Obama Bin Laden Dead?"

Yeah, also happened to NPR.

It's a defect due to the spell checkers that they use - sometimes they'll default to something that the system thinks is correct. It might also be a reason why many news outlets prefer to use the other accepted spelling, Usama.

Way to kill it with technical information.
