Osama Bin Laden is Dead!!!
 

So if he is dead does that make a difference in who will be elected next term?

I just fixed a drink and we had a Bacon Toast in Honor of this Auspicious event !!

Praise Allah! We have another martyr. Will his death end the war on terror? Doubtful

I hope it took a while.

It does say you can't hide from the US forever it only took 14 years :eyebrow:

Obama confirmed it. w00t

Can we please come home now? Support our troops! Get them out of Afghanistan!

I'm guessing that the Republican party is feeling really conflicted right now. This has gotta help Obama's numbers.

Kudos to Merc. He is a former member of the unit that took bin Laden out.

(NSFW)

Okay, guys -- Easter Hymn:

O-sa-ma is dead to-day-ay,
A-a-a-a-al-la-hu A-akbar!
Said so on the first of May-ay,
Allahu Akbar!

The wife came in and told me the news. First words out of my mouth were, "Hm. Allahu Akbar."

It's also cool that tw must shut up about "and where is bin Laden?" now. Not that that will stop him from continually demonstrating his contemptible mentality, but it's still cool.

Obama did what Bush wouldn't? Am I reading this correctly?

Must cause a real rift at the Bush/bin Laden joint family picnic.

Well I'll be goddamned. I never would have imagined he was still alive after all these years. I, for one, had been absolutely convinced he'd been quietly or accidentally killed years ago. It's amazing that he hadn't released any more videos in so long, when the slightest message from him would have surely encouraged Al Qaeda fighters around the world. The CNN article said there was no phone or internet connection to the compound he was staying at... I wonder if they were protecting him against his will, to a certain degree.

Anyway, now's as good a time as any for the fucker to die. Good job, Navy Seals.

Well put - I wholeheartedly agree.

I'm waiting for Trump to demand the long form death certificate.

Can you not be a petty asshole for one day?
Sorry silly question.

I think this was meant for you Sheldon, I fixed it for Dave ;)

To whom was it directed? :confused:

Have we lost our sense of humor?

Perhaps he has, I know I haven't.

You insensitive bastards, my osama bin laden was killed on 9/11.......


....what?

Clodfobble, I agree -I too had assumed he must already be dead.

YESSSSSSSSssssssssss (makes fist and underhandedly pumps it back!)

Must be hockey season.

can we use osama's head for the puck?

i wonder.....if they confirm which soldier took him out, does he get the reward??

No - budget deficit and all .... you know.

I thought it was a bit weird that they dumped the body so fast in the ocean, but it makes sense. Apparently it's the Islamic practice to bury a body within 24 hours of death, and they didn't want there to be a grave that supporters could visit. This way, the US can't be accused of disrespecting the body by Muslims.

yeah i fingered that one. but they should at least officially buy him a beer!

that and teh sea critters get to be fed!

:D

When you work for the government you don't get rewards ... ask anyone in the military :rolleyes:

Back at ya kiddeo.

I thought it was funny, Sheldon. :D

Seriously, all y'all are totally missing the point here.....

every season is hockey season.

(Was that comment really aimed at sheldon? really? for telling a joke that's all over facebook and so clearly found funny by many people? really? If it wasn't for the use of the word "he", I would have thought it was aimed at infi. Either way, it just deserves ignoring. Some days some people just get out of the wrong side of bed. Some people have beds with two wrong sides. No, I don't believe it was aimed at sheldon. I did have to check to see what I'd already posted.... maybe it was pre-posted in anticipation of something assholish by me. It's all about me.)

My thoughts exactly. Thought the self-imposed jail sentence was to allow time to look for big boy pants. Was willing to let bygones be bygones, time after time saying nothing or chuckling at a comment. But I'm the only one he hates, in this thread anyway, and we know he and Shel are buddies.

Typical P/A.

Same old fucking crap. Different fucking month.

I'm slightly uncomfortable with the glee people I work with are expressing. Like it makes a fucking bit of difference at this point. They're practically high fiving each other. Go America! We got that fucker! in just 10 short years! wahoo!

jesus.

I hear you, but it will be a big ego blow for the organized terrorists and that's gotta be a good thing. When I first glanced at your post, though the word glee jumped out, and my first thought was that they were making a musical about it. Now that would be too much.

I agree JH the glee is creepy and he was on the FBI most wanted since '97 so 14 years

Same here. I feel a sense of grim satisfaction. The celebration calls to mind this:

Leave those poor sea creatures alone. They've been through enough!

Well IM I am sure you too have a "pretty asshole" :)

You know what I want to know WTF is wrong with the damn helicopters in this country? Why is it during critical missions the damn things crash?

>

we may require picture of that to be sure! :D ;)

now in other news....

from here

why didn't he upload the footage from his smartphone to youtube?

good point! if i can do it from work after not riding a go kart for 15 years he surely could've done it too!

Best pick-up line ever: "Hey babe, wanna do the guy that put a bullet in Bin Laden?".

Osama's compound on Google Maps

Read the reviews.

So, in lieu of the $25M that can be folded back into DoD's budget, MoH and Navy Crosses all around? The shooter is likely to have a mighty good career in SpecOps.

Bravo Zulu SEALs.

Just hung out with a couple old Vietnam guys, Vietnam Veteran ball caps and all, in front of a Starbucks I frequent. Quiet grim satisfaction from these.

Even HuffPo expresses satisfaction, though necessarily less quietly.

Shel - I apologize - Totally got that wrong. I thought it was another person posting.
In rereading, I see it was meant as humor. Again, I apologize to YOU.

Monnie & Shaw - you both may continue to fuck off. Please don't let bygones be bygones. You have repeatedly said how much you respect & want honestly. I am well aware that you both dislike me and you both know the feeling is mutual from my side.
Have a Blessed day.

Oh grow up.

Infinite Monkey, the reason leftists inhabit the left of center portion of the spectrum is a demonstrable want of psychological maturity -- most often expressed in a seeking of a parent-figure in the State. Nanny State or Daddy State -- it's roughly the same thing. Do you really think you or for that matter any leftward sort has the standing to tell Classicman to grow up? We are talking about the dysfunctionality of an entire political philosophy here, since you bring it to the forefront.

So you read posts differently depending on who is writing them?

I think that's actually fairly common here, but I never heard anyone admit it.

Maybe it went without saying -- but yeah. Sorta. Though likelier the blame really lies in the universal human tendency to hear not so much what somebody said, as the interior inputs of what the listener thinks and hears already -- that every received communication goes through the filter of the self before it gets anywhere near the reading-comprehension level.

It's a nuisance, as the only way to avoid it is to have no self nor memories at all. Which would be sort of like turning into a walking telephone, or other communications apparatus. Doesn't sound practical.

:lol2:

Let us not forget why we are here. It is to celebrate the death of Osama Bin Laden. May all of his 72 virgins be big-dicked tops!

Really? After coming here for about 7 years, yes absolutely. To not do so would be rather disingenuous, IMO.
Why wouldn't one admit that?

HERE! HERE! :D

yes indeed! now. let's go farting!

So you are admitting to reading posts with a view to picking a fight, because that comment was funny regardless of who posted it and yet you respond with



- - -
sorry folks, that will be my last comment on that, but really......

No your assholiness. I never said I read a post to pick a fight - thats your game.
