NYT NEWS ALERT: Osama bin Laden Is Dead, U.S. Official Says
to Fox News I go!
Today is the 8-year anniversary of "Mission Accomplished".
L.O.L.
He was living in a mansion when killed. Roll the cave videos!
Work on your singing, guys.
Nice consolation prize for not getting Qaddafi.
Also, POIDH.

if nothing else, suddenly we can exit stage left from afghanistan.
Amusingly, the only local TV station reporting on this at 12:30pm is Channel 9/CBC.

this is probably oversimplification, but practically speaking, this is pretty much as close as we get to victory in afghanistan. im sure obl death isnt the main metric the military is using, but i dont think anything else is going to feel more like victory, and i dont see how we could have gotten out with him being alive without it feeling like defeat.
then again, how important is how it feels?
but the more i read (and believe me, very little work is getting done today), the worse this looks for pakistan. if this were ten years ago and we werent as war weary as we are now, i think the war drums would be thumping to go in there -- nuclear power notwithstanding.
as it is, i think pakistan just shoots to near the top of our shitlist. didnt we just help them out with some pretty bad floods? wtf pakistan... not cool.
Thanks Prez Obama for being the spineless person you are. Thanks for NOT having courage of your convictions to close GITMO. Thanks for not having the courage to stop enhanced interrogations as you ran on.
Thanks for being all sorts of fail so the military and our intelligence were able to kill UBL.
Keep up the bad work and we'll be fine.

According to reports today, enhanced interrogation techniques led to the capture of Bin Laden. Liberals oppose those techniques, interesting 3 minutes ago via Twittelator
Wow, Mxy found a FAR LEFT Blog. Great work.
u mad
No way. Obama finally brought us together in celebration of the Bush's policies of enhanced interrogation, GITMO and all the things you voted for him to destroy.
Be Happy, Glan.
Poor Tahoe.
It had the best timeline analysis, AFAICT. Quite aside from the blogs, Michael Hayden (former CIA director appointed by Bush) indicated on CNN that the intelligence that led to bin Laden's demise came from CIA black sites, NOT from Gitmo.Quote:

The other 15, u mad.
Not mad. Glad it happened. And so glad you are have joined Prez Bush in his policies.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF PEOPLE WERE CELEBRATING ONE OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBER'S DEATHS
Well the left would have had a tizzy fit if it were Bush who did and wanted to impeach him, but the Messiah did it so its ok.
Poor Tahoe.
Also, the cheering last night was weird, just weird. The jubilation was too much, imo. I read some of what the victims of the attack had to say and it was hardly jubiliation. And that was more along the lines that I felt.
We have to remember Glan still thinks it was Bush who brought the towers down from the oval office...errr from the school in florida.
Bush isn't mad. He issued a statement. It was quality.
Sincere national pride is a travesty!
