Who cares about a ten year old candygram.

You get it. OBL is old news. While this is hailed as some major triumph in the police action against terrorism, it really is no such thing. The front has moved on to Iran, it's nuclear ambitions, and its missiles...to Egypt, to Turkey, to the flotilla.

And did you hear him at the journalists dinner? He hardly spoke a word of the military and praised the journalists for their courage and contributions to freedom supposedly knowing all along that our brave boys had gotten bin Laden.

Two Minute Hate time, folks!

He already said he gave the order.

I was listening for “I”

It later occurred to me that he had to say that he as president gave the order personally and the implication that no prisoners were taken was also at his order.

Also, he used the word Terrorist several times.

Obama will say anything to increase his chances of being re-elected. It’s always about him. It’s a shame that some people will think he is sincere.

Sadly, the war on terror will never over. One man dead doesn’t even make a dent.

True - the fight has been going on for fourteen-hundred years, rising and falling in intensity like the tide. One man's death isn't going to stop it.

Ok call me suspicious but, isn’t it weird that ol’ Bin was killed last week? Ok, yea, I have my tin foil hat on. How long did they know he was there? And who gave the go ahead to go in and get him? Was it really just last week, or did this happen a while ago and Obama is using it to divert attention away from something else? Everything coming out of Obama’s mouth last night sounded sincere but everything he does is contrary to what he was saying. He can’t even call these people terrorists. Just sayin.

Pakistan is touchy...They are a nuclear power.

When we first made them THE MOST STRATEGIC ALLY in the war on terror, Pakistan had no, nada, none intelligence system. We set them up...ran it...and apparently still do.

Frankly, I don't see any gain in Usama's death. He was no longer the leader of alqueda.

According to an ABC News video, people gathered at the White House. Did you see the video of the people? they had a huge flag, at night, who carries around a huge flag at night in the streets of D.C.? I believe those people were organize to be there.

Clancy’s new book also has a war in Libya and discussion of a nuclear reactor damaged by an earthquake.

And, if you recall, he essentially predicted 9-11 in another one of his books.

Walid Phares said the Arabs street had been texting him that Bin Laden had been dead for months, that if happened that way why did they arrest him instead of killing him.

Arab Street now has a their own 9-11 conspiracy.

I should imagine that Cmdr. Marcinko has some colourful (likely unprintable) thoughts about the change of designation here...

I for one believe Obama only “ordered him killed” because his polling numbers are low.

Otherwise, he’d have him brought to the U.S. and tried as a civilian and some other nonsense.

There have been reports off and on for years that OBL had died. Interestingly enough they slowed down until last Fall and then started up again. There Arab world has a better tom tom system than anyone gives them credit for.

I suspect that Pakistan reached a point where Usama was worth more dead to them than alive.
