Obama Binladin

He's dead! So... someone mind explaining how? I only saw it on my friend's status on Facebook.

You beat me to it. I am actually on Zelaron on my laptop.

There hasn't been anything official yet, but a couple sources have confirmed that he is dead, and that his remains are with the United States Military. Retrieving his body is absolutely significant. President Obama is about to deliver a speech about this. I can't wait to hear how he eloquently puts this out there.

Which station!?CNN

At first, I thought it was going to be childish. Only one guy died, we're still at war with "terrorism". However, hearing people sing the Star spangled banner made me smile and feel all warm and fuzzy.

My gut reaction is to call BS, to be honest.

It'll be interesting to see what Obama says. For some reason, I can't imagine he'll announce that, "We have killed the leader of the terrorists. The War on Terror is over!". My money is on something along the lines of, "Now the head has been cut off, the snakes body will die. I shall commit more troops to ensure that this happens more quickly than it would without our action".

I definitely side with Lenny on this one. Obama's hour-long hesitation is suspicious...

I was a bit surprised at the timing of this. I mean he did just launch his campaign. But the morale of every cynical asshole that I know seems to be through the roof right now. I guess we shouldn't jump the gun until we hear the official words from the President. They've gotta make sure this speech is monumental, they might be writing it all night.

That's a good point - I forgot the US Presidential things were coming soon.

The Falklands did the work for Maggie, so why not this for Obama? As an outside viewer, it would be nice to see him get a second term.

who cares
