Osama Bin Laden is dead.

[Niamh_Saoirse]

One of my friends said there are people shooting off fireworks in his neighborhood.

I guess you should just always keep some on hand, just in case.

Well, it seems like celebrations are not taking place just in the States: I'm in Buenos Aires and there's a group of people across the road singing the American national anthem.

 

[corianderstem]

Wow!

"Osama Bin Laden really shouldn't have used his real address on PSN."

[Niamh_Saoirse]

I know! It's very weird, to say the least. I'm half tempted to go downstairs and ask them if they are American, but I'm in my pajamas, it's cold and I can't be arsed.

 

[corianderstem]

Just shout it out the window!

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Well, for starters, how do they have a DNA sample for Bin Laden? He has never been captured before, so how did they get a DNA sample?

You really don't think it's as simple as 'oh hey we don't know where he is nor have we seen him in 10 years!!!' do you?

They obviously have been highly based on information and intelligence.

I'm sure they had somebody on the inside who was able to recover some form of DNA.




NEWS: A helicopter drop of Navy SEALs did the job! So cool!

 

[Diemen]

So, if you believe that Obama's birth cert was real

Really? Really?

You're smarter than that.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Sounds to me like spec ops of some sort...

I read "are they sure they got Osama and not Cat Stevens?"

 

[PhilsFan]

Just got back from the riots. My main question: why do so many people have large American flags? Did they have them under their couch waiting for something like this?

 

[Irvine511]

i can hear the helicopters outside.

 

[cobl04]

"Sarah yelling from the lounge that Barack Obama is dead BLONDE MOMENT #3119"

 

[PhilsFan]

Also, they played Born in the USA. People will never understand that song.

The Navy SEALS are coming for you next! Run, Irvine - RUUUUUNNNNN!!!!!

Ah, so now it can be about disillusioned and disenfranchised Iraq war vets. It still fits!

I got in a little hometown jam
And so they put an M16 in my hands
Sent me off to Pakistan
To go and kill the Arab man!

I was watching Obama's message on a local newstation when I noticed the following caption:

"Obama's terror acts had to be stopped."

Simply brilliant!

 

[Irvine511]

The Navy SEALS are coming for you next! Run, Irvine - RUUUUUNNNNN!!!!!

nah, it's cool now -- they've all undergone DADT repeal training.

 

[corianderstem]

"Obama's terror acts had to be stopped."

Simply brilliant!

And it wasn't even Fox News!

HEY-O!

 

[Niamh_Saoirse]

Just shout it out the window!

lol. My window faces the wrong way: I can hear them but I can't see them.

I think they are definately American because right after the anthem they started chanting "USA! USA!"

 

[corianderstem]

Really? Oh, ugh.

 

[purpleoscar]

I guess we won't hear that "Osama is not in Pakistan" from Pakistani officials.

 

[yolland]

Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. forces in a mansion outside the Pakistani capital of Islamabad along with other family members, a senior U.S. official tells CNN.

That's what they were saying before the announcement, but Obama clearly named Abbottabad, which is a town in the Himalayan foothills near Kashmir, about 50 miles north of Islamabad. Earlier today the Pakistani papers had reported a helicopter crash and several loud blasts in Abbottabad--apparently one of the Pakistani helicopters involved in the raid crashed.

I already felt awful for even feeling a smidgen of happiness over the guy's death, and now I've spent the last 20 minutes laughing my ass off.

Might as well crack open the Miller now.

 

[corianderstem]

Bin Laden's dead?

IT'S MILLER TIME!

 

[LemonMelon]

The economic boost is already kicking in! :beercompanyfuckyeah:

 

[corianderstem]

Gas prices will magically drop below $4 tomorrow, right???

 

[LemonMelon]

Another solid week of hour-long commutes for me before semester ends. Hopefully, I'll be receiving $4 a gallon by then.

 

[TheEdge25]

I hope people will start giving our President some much deserved (and very belated) credit now!

Support our President, Support Our Troops, Support Our Country!
