Yep, making him a martyr to be used as a recruiting tool for anti-western muslims was really beneficial to the security of the western world. I see a whole bunch more terrorists created in the next few months and many more attacks on the west forthcoming as revenge for his death.
May his seventy-two virgins be that way for reasons and his rivers of honey be flown in by bees....
Cripes people....
Anyways, in relation to the topic at hand:
U.S. has killed Osama bin Laden, President Obama says
U.S. has killed Osama bin Laden, President Obama says - CTV News
U.S. forces have killed Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, U.S. President Barack Obama told the world Sunday night.
The U.S conducted a ground operation Sunday at a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan that led to the death of bin Laden, Obama said in a dramatic late-night statement at the White House.
A small group of American commandos "killed bin Laden and took custody of his body," Obama said.
"His demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace."
The U.S. president said he was briefed on a possible lead on the location of bin Laden last August, who had eluded capture for a decade.
"Finally, last week I determined we had enough intelligence to take action and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice," Obama said. "Today at direction the United States launched a targeted operation on that compound."
Obama said no Americans were hurt in the operation and great care was taken not to kill any civilians. He praised the American team for their "extraordinary courage and capability."
"Justice has been done," the president said.
Visitors outside the White House could be heard chanting "U.S.A! U.S.A!" and singing the U.S. national anthem prior to Obama's speech.
The small group swelled from dozens to hundreds by the end of Obama's speech.
The 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, took the lives of nearly 3,000 people, including 24 Canadians.
The attack was a defining moment in U.S. history, and has shaped the globe over the past decade, leading to the war in Afghanistan.
Former president George W. Bush famously pledged to take bin Laden "dead or alive" and his two terms were largely defined by the war on terror.
Born in 1957 in Saudi Arabia, bin Laden was born into a wealthy family that made its fortune in the construction business.

As they say in the halls of my Church. "Turn the other cheek my brother." Or was that: "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
Ah forget it. No biggy!
We're having a pot luck Bingo down at Father Flanagans. Come on down! :lol:
Politico says Obama called former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, and gave them the heads up before the news came out.

Take my medicine...being a hypocrite.... I make no bones about my complete lack of respect for the US marine corps and its current and former members. A bunch of war mongering, ************ and the world might be a better place if they all disappeared from the planet. Nothing hypocritical about that. Your words and display of having none of the honor the corps claims to have only ensures me I am right about them.
Hey, I don't care if the guy is dead. I am just pointing out that the radical groups of anti-westerners will surely use this as a way to encourage more membership and promote more violence in his name. It would have been so much better to capture him alive, convict him in a court and keep him alive and in prison where he could not be put forth as a martyr. I don't expect a jarhead to understand that but give it a try.

I don't know how my Rabbi would react to me chowing down with the Irish catholic congregration but I do like the stew so maybe just once.;-)
Where was Bert when Bin Laden was take care of? :|Awww... Just remember the good times Bert.
Yeah really!!! Did I stutter? Or is your little jarhead brain too slow on the uptake to understand. Should I throw in a few more swear words and fire a few rounds off at anything that moves to help you feel more at home?
Probably in front of his computer. This is an older pic of them together.
Swear as much as you want. Use as many bigotted statments as you want.
You're a hypocrite, plain and simple. Now you've just exposed yourself as a bigot as well. Keep posting.
