Osama Bin Laden is dead.

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

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!

I will when cap and trade, and easy money policies are abandoned. Though I have to give it to Obama; he didn't flake on getting Osama like Clinton did.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

yes!!! Win!!! Win win win!!

I already felt awful for even feeling a smidgen of happiness over the guy's death

May I ask why? There's a myriad of issues here I'm not aware of, but at its very base, surely it is a good thing he is dead, no?

 

[corianderstem]

I had that one saved on my hard drive since the election, but had forgotten about it!

 

[Irvine511]

loves it!

Don't lie. You're a seer just like President Bush on May 1st, 2003. You had that one waiting.

It's the principle of the thing. We find Arab celebrations of death reprehensible, so I can't get off on the death of others with a clear conscience, now can I?

Plus, this just feels fucking hollow.

Plus, it might be a fabrication.

First thing, VERY first thing I felt when they had the camera on all the happy, chanting folks in front of the White House was a cold chill as I though, "God, way too close to footage of Middle East celebrations on 9/11".

plus there are reports that 'family members' died in the attack.

 

[PhilsFan]

Some guy ran up to me and said, "This is what THEY were doing on 9/11!" and continued running around cheering.

I'm sorry, but this just pisses me off. Why in the world would our country fabricate Bin Laden's death? It affects the whole damn planet, and there's no point to lie about something this monumental.

The administration had this information for a few days.

It was very courteous not to release it until the Royal Wedding came and went.

Don't forget about Qaddafi's grandkids.

Not a good day to be a family member of public enemies #1 and #18.

you know how those people (the blacks) lie.

 

[Irvine511]

i generally agree with not celebrating death, but there are exceptions when i choose not to care. this is one of those times.

Fabricated story? Maaaaybe.

Fabricated death? Highly, highly unlikely. Don't think the US would have the balls to say he's dead knowing fine well that Osama could just release a tape saying 'fuck you America, I'm actually alive. Stop making shit up.'

In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if they have pre-taped Osama videos to be released as propaganda just for this.

qft - bothered me a lot, watching what looked like a bunch of frat boys celebrate someone's death - I don't care who it is.

 

[PhilsFan]

A cool moment: amidst the tens of thousands, one apartment pulled large speakers onto their balcony, connected them to their television, and broadcast the audio of Obama's speech. Everyone quieted down to listen.

 

[LemonMelon]

It affects the whole damn planet

 

[corianderstem]

 

[TheEdge25]

EXACTLY

 

[purpleoscar]

Holy fuck there are some dumb callers on C-SPAN. "Why wasn't Bin Laden given a fair trial?"

The press have made mistakes before, but yeah, Obama probably wouldn't come out and make this proclamation if he wasn't 150% certain he's dead.

It's the principle of the thing. We find Arab celebrations of death reprehensible, so I can't get off on the death of others with a clear conscience, now can I?

I see where you're coming from, but I think given the fact the man is evil personified, surely you can crack a smile, even if you don't "get off on it".

The images of frat boys partying and chanting is repugnant though, I agree zuropafit.

I'm glad I'm not the only one whose brain went there. *L*

Colour me naive, but why is that a dumb question?

I like to think he held off to screw Donald Trump. But really, it was to control the weekly news cycle.
