WASHINGTON – Helicopters descended out of darkness on the most important counterterrorism mission in U.S. history. It was an operation so secret, only a select few U.S. officials knew what was about to happen.

The location was a fortified compound in an affluent Pakistani town two hours outside Islamabad. The target was Osama bin Laden.

Well you know Obama and his dumb worshipers. They will claim that only a genius like Obama could pull this off. Obama will showboat and hog the credit. Reality is the success is 100% due to our CIA, our Navy Seals and our military in general which the community organizer denigrates and sabotages by cramming gays down their throats. Obama is poison to our military same as he poison to oil drilling and exploration

So much for extending an open hand....

0bama’s statement would have been more true if he had said, “While I campaigned against every policy that made this day possible, I'd like to bask in the reflective glory of the U. S. military and hope my poll numbers go up".

I'd rather hear more about the dumping of the body into the sea.

Just call him Osama "sharkbait" Bin Laden

What crap, the Kenyan community organizer is too stupid to lead such a meeting. He listened to his betters and uttered three words -- "go get him" The only thing Obama worried about is whether such an operation would harm his street cred in the Muslim world

I agree with you that Obama wasn't the one to order it and everything, but I'll give him credit for not standing in the way or making this a joint nation effort or whatever pc baloney.

What I find interesting is that so often when someone is discussing Osama/Obama, they get the names mixed up as the conversation goes on. And it’s usually a lefty making the booboo.

What would YOU do with the body? Drag it down Pennsylvania Avenue in a mock Roman Triumph? Put his head on a pike on permanent display at ground zero?

Disposing of the body after one day in accordance with Muslim religious law lets us show the Arab world we are bigger and better people than them.

Dumping the rats’ corpse five fathoms deep means it can never be made into a shrine by his fanatical followers

a win-win for us I think

Sorry, but until I hear from someone on our side (Boehner for example)

Is this a joke? Boehner? Our side?

When they buried him at sea, do you think his head was attached or is it enroute via FedX to GWB?

Very likely ....it’s faked....and there are those who have shown how it’s done. They superimpose the photo and then dress it accordingly....further he’d have to have dyed his beard, from the most recent photos we have of him alive it’s almost white...and the dye would not have left the grey streaks.

I agree. I personally know some of his worshipers and some days I fully expect the call to bring back the offering up of their young in burnt offerings to their idol. These people I know are not rolling in the 'green' and they believe in shared sacrifice... A common call right out of BamBamKennedy's teleprompter.

And to date the only person to cause a diaper rash for BamBamKennedy is the 'Donald'. There is not an elected Republican that causes him to blink.

The reordering of the world is not going to end well for this turkey, as was said by Kalypso Louie, "Who the .ell do you think you are", is NOT a good sign things are going well in the new order.

I give Obama zero credit. His betters (CIA advisors) told him, if you bring in other nations then the operation will leak and Obama will escape. Obama wants Osama's scalp for one thing. It enhances his re-election

Burying the evidence...destroyiing the evidence...always used to hide the truth. No body....no evidence....DNA is not conclusive..especially when done in less than 24 hours...some professional already said they had to have very advanced equipment on site to have acquired DNA results that quick...and he didn’t know of any which did that...conclusively.
