No way, this is too good to be true. Please do not let this be some sort of sick joke.

Hm, I had heard that President Obama was supposed to make a speech at 10:30, but so far the White House livestream is still saying "Beginning Shortly"...

If this is the case, that sounds like good news... though I wonder how long he's been dead.

I've suspected that Osama has been dead for years. All the videos they've released over the years, as far as I can remember, have just been the same vague threats, not really ever referencing recent events. My guess is that he died in the initial attacks, and the videos have just been released periodically to scare the US into believing he was still alive... but it's all just personal theory. Probably isn't true.

It's on the TV now, I can't believe that this is actually happening. So happy that the victims of 9/11 can finally rest in peace.

Fuck yeah. It's always a great time when the tyrannical mass murderer finally gets what is coming to him.

I deleted my last post since it may have caused a shit storm, but for those that want to know, the gist of it is that I just numb out world events that simply don't affect me or I don't yet realize that they do.

That being said, I care now because obviously the Middle East is going to go into a bit of a rage mode over this and cause even more problems when all the U.S. (or at least its citizens) wants to do is just end all of this. This rose has pretty much a ton of massive fucking thorns covering every square inch of the stem.

Basically, it's not over yet. :T

I agree with this. This is just the tip of the iceberg and America is firing up patriot mode, when nobody really cared when Saddam Hussein was hanged even though he was a far more dangerous individual. The blind patriotism is quite sad, really. This is far from over.

My brother's going to be disappointed - he's going into the army, and wanted to be the one to capture him.

Okay so I just heard that even Fox News is laying off of Obama.

For once I am actually proud of Fox for not being an utter douche for once.

It's just their required daily dose of "Fair and Balanced." It'll pass.

Sadly, this will change little. Yes, it is awesome that he died, and he did not die soon enough, and I guarantee his death was too short. But Al Qaeda will exist on after him, as will the Taliban. We might have killed a massive asshole, but it may be to early to celebrate.

The again, one of histories greatest monsters is dead. I'll drink to that.

Am I the only one who don't really give a shit if he is dead or alive?

While yes, I agree, terrorism is bad, in cases like this, but I simply can't get myself to support the US in this case. :/

The only thing I really feel about this is I'm sad I wasn't the one who found him and now I'm out a hefty reward sum. I could use all that money for awesome things.

I don't think him being dead is going to change much. There is so much else going on out there.
