One wonders if it'll actually make a clod of difference. Yes, he is (was?) their leader; Do you think that his dying will really stop terrorism? Do you think conflict in the Middle East is just going to vanish overnight?

No, not really. This is a boost to morale and perhaps a minor disruption of their operations - I have no doubt that they have a line-up of second-in-commands who are just waiting to take his place. Then... what? We spend another decade trying to destroy his replacement?
You're right. We should just not try and ignore every terrorist attack.

You people confuse the hell out of me.

I believe "9/11" caused you to invade Afghanistan not Iraq.

Now, nothing. Your talking about terrorists, and stupid ones at that. This will just give them a martyr to fight for and if anything will just extend the war.

It gives the enemy a martyr to fight for, the oposition is just going to get stronger. Trust American troops to be stupid and just shoot the guy, rather than do the smart thing and bring him back for trial. Alive he's valuable, dead hes a martyr.

Someone give me the skinny on this? Did they find a body, or was this a claim from his country?
If you already got the answer you were looking for just ignore this.

US ground troops in Pakistan and a Drone in the sky killed Bin Laden just over the border in Pakistan. DNA and Dental Records confirm it was him.

Yup.

He's been a figure head for the past 5 years. He has had barely anything to do with the Taliban. He's just been running away

Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty damn ecstatic he's dead, but this really does nothing to the war.

Also, to all you nay sayers.

Just let us have this one. America's kinda had their image soiled for the past few years, it's time we get a little boost.

CNN said it was a human operation, not a drone.

Hell yes he is! Been watching Fox with my mom for.a hour now. Literally 5 minutes before we got the news Geraldo said "what if its Bin Laden?" We doubted it. But its true!
You're watching FOX news? Do they have Osamas name misspelled on the bottom of the screen, or is this just a Chicago feed I'm seeing with the idiotic typo for the last 30 minutes?
lol nope we got a USAMA Bin Laden dead here in Vermont
Fox news can never get it right

The announcement is Obama's 1337-th Tweet :D
I see 1336 from your link.... but I don't see one addressing this.... OMG that is just a random thing that has no merit... r, uhm, I mean, it's just a tad crazy!?
OK I can't tell if you're serious or not... 1337 , like 'Leet' in gamerspeak! Just thought it was funny :)

In other news, Bin Laden was camping in the middle cave on Afghan with Cold Blooded Pro and UAV Jammer, and had put his location on his PSN account.

We can't pull out, there is a war to finish. But now Obama has a reelection guarantee, Al Qieda has lost its symbol, and New York is alot happier.
Obama re-election in the bag? As if he did anything about Osama. Honestly, getting Bin Ladin by know had probably faded from the public's eye due to the recent shitstorm of Libya and the economy. I sincerely doubt he is going to get reelected.

And I hate to come across as the prick here but...
His name *IS* Usama.

Saw it on QI, Osama is a popular misnomer.

Yeah, like that's going to happen.

"It only took ten years!"

"Yeah, like any of this matters, there's still other terrorists."

"Doesn't change all of these other terrible things about America."

etc etc

All, and I do mean ALL, of the US news agencies are reporting that Osama has been killed and his body is in US custody. the President is supposed to be on TV any minute now to make a formal announcement.

Don't lie, he was hiding in the cast of MadTV wasn't he?

This is actually kinda funny since I saw a documentary on history channel yesterday about how we f'd up killing him 10 times already. Though does it really matter that we've killed him? Someone else is bound to just replace him and rally the psychos behind him as a martyr.

Wait for it...

Wait for it...

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Don't be stupid.
Republicans can't pronounce THAT.
Hey...Fox News actually put Usama. Which is the proper name.

So...maybe they can pronounce that.
