"They all need to be killed."

I'd agree if you include all mosques built in the last 200 yr.

Yes it is wrong to celibate the killing. But it is not wrong to say thank you to the ones who did the killing. The man earned his fate but celebrating his death seams same as the Muslims did on 9/11. I know there is a difference but celebrating this and the terror war continues with new perpetrators of evil is wrong.

I would rather dance in the street after the death of someone who killed thousands than dance because of the death of thousands.

Sure, but why dance in the streets at all? It is an action of third worlders. The West was built on reason, not knee jerk emotionalism. There are many more like bin laden who need to be killed. Dancing around in the streets is what powerless people do. We are not powerless and should learn to act accordingly, not mimicking the traits of the mediocre.

Here’s a chance for President Obama showcase his legendary mastery of the art of diplomacy by mending fences with the the locals in Abbottabad, while bringing long coveted diversity to Pakistan in one brilliant stroke.

All this can be accomplished with the construction of a “Ground Zero Church” for the people of Abbottabad. The Presidential entourage could include Hillary Clinton, brought there expressly to break ground within 100 feet of Osama bin Laden’s Abbottabad compound. This recently vacated facility would then be used to house Hillary, along with personal assistant Huma Abedin and the rest of the Presidential entourage.

They all need to be killed. But not out of hate or revenge, out of necessity

Exactly. Cool-headed justice.

There's a risk if people think this means "victory" in the "war on terror" or "war on al queda."

Our military and intelligence operatives should celebrate their skill and performance. It must be good for morale.

Americans should be heartened W's promise on 9/20/01, "We will not tire. We will not falter. We will not fail," has been kept by his successor.

I am not celebrating. I am remembering but I am also watching. I will not be swept up by momentary ebullience and take my eyes off the domestic policy debate and destructive proposals.

Today we had Timothy Geithner quietly offer to use "bookkeeping maneuvers" to allow the government to keep boring past the mid-month deadline.

"Bookkeeping maneuvers," people! 'Eye on the ball!

Obama will leverage his 30 point polling bump as a weapon to break the backs of adults in congress and ramrod his fiscal agenda through. It's already happening with his "unity" happy talk and his visit campaign stop at "Ground Zero" on Thursday.

believe this is NOT over. Celebration is premature.

I believe you're right. Remember when the cheering died down in "Wargames?"

Major Lem: [holding a telephone] General, it's the president.

McKittrick: What are you... what are you going to tell him?

General Beringer: I'm ordering our bombers back to fail-safe. We might have to go through this thing after all.

Did I need to add: “If given a choice?”

That’s exactly what should have been done with him.

Hung by a long rope from the Statue of Liberty.

Until the birds picked him clean.

Someone please help me understand. All I can find so far is;

0bama, "Yes. We got him. We don't have the body any longer. He was buried at sea. We can't show you any pictures or video they're classified. Anyway, who you ganna believe, me or your own lying eyes. Thank you my fellow Americans."

Yet the vast majority of Freepers are 100% sure OBL is dead. Seriously, what thread(s) here has everyone so sure? I'm not saying I don't want to believe... but, I just need a bit more than taking the 0bama's word for it.

That’s great. Beck does know how to make a subtle point. And, if the king of grand conspiracies thinks OBL is dead who am I, a mere government paranoid, to disagree.

My point on countering everything that comes from this administration to another Freeper was simply "How can we expect a serial liar to suddenly turn around and start telling the truth?"

Your suspicions of this regime are well founded. REGARDLESS of the issue...

WHEN THE WICKED PERISH, THERE ARE SHOUTS OF JOY! (Proverbs 11:10)

It is always good to rejoice and Praise God when He delivers
us from our enemies. That doesn’t mean we are rejoicing that
someone has died. We are thanking God for His protection. Also...
there is a difference between murder and justice.

America needs to feel good about ourselves. This is the moment. Sheesh!

God is a Just God.

“When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; But when they perish,
the righteous increase.” —Proverbs 28:28—
