Don't worry they are after Ghadafi's oil now.

The shit is going to hit the fan between the US and Pakistani intelligence agencies.
No way OBL was sitting in a nice mansion without the knowledge of the ISI

eight years ago today (EST)

The only dates that matter are 9/11 and last week's where that POS finally expired.

Why does his death improve the $ ?

The US dollar has risen sharply against the euro and yen amid reports of bin Laden's death.

Just watched the statement by President Obama and he makes it official that Osama Bin Laden is, in fact, dead. We will see what happens now and true there are lots of other leaders, but this is a big psychological blow to their movement. President Obama stated that this came from a lead from last August. He authorized a targeted operation by a small team of Americans who killed Osama bin Laden and then took possession of the body.

They better not announce who did it, that will be a very dreadful situation for that group.

!0 mins ago they were reporting that he was killed by a US bomb, now they are saying he was shot? Killed in a mansion in Islamabad....kind of takes away the romantic idea of a bearded freedom fighter living out in caves and totin an AK47...

The news is the news, the US needs to stay vigil in case of a retalitory attack.

Could just be the backlash that Osama bin Laden was in Pakistan even though that country said they had no proof of that. Guess they were wrong, or telling lies. Either way, there will be some backlash with Pakistan.

George Bush Releases Statement On Bin Laden’s Death

Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong has joined former President George W. Bush on the last leg of a three-day, 62-mile mountain bike ride with 15 American soldiers who lost limbs or suffered serious injuries in Iraq or Afghanistan.

(Chron.com)

George W. Bush released this statement earlier:

Earlier this evening, President Obama called to inform me that American forces killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of the al Qaeda network that attacked America on September 11, 2001. I congratulated him and the men and women of our military and intelligence communities who devoted their lives to this mission. They have our everlasting gratitude. This momentous achievement marks a victory for America, for people who seek peace around the world, and for all those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001. The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done.

Good on ya George! The killers you sent after OBL might have taken a little longer than anticipated to accomplish the mission but indeed, the mission is now complete!

I very much doubt that the thugs of Al Qadea that have followed him will just put their weapons away.

As i said, good job USA but be vigilant for reprisals.

**larvidchr** · 02-05-2011, 11:09 AM

Really good news on a Monday "morning"

Good job US, and thank you, it needed to be done.

Calls for a real good coffee and a Monte Cristo on the porch.

**Sailing into trouble** · 02-05-2011, 11:09 AM

Let's hope the intelligence agencies have a better idea of the new leaders are. The news services are bragging that Pakistan helped, wonder how long before the bombs start killing more innocent people.

What a screwed up world, 9ll and the London and Spanish bombings. The war in Afghanistan will still go on. Unless this is the excuse to call it a day and leave them to their own fate. I hope that this may weaken the resolve of those with hate in their hearts. But at best, I feel that we can expect a short reprieve, before the next hate monger grabs the headlines.

Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden dead, Obama says

By Mark Hosenball and Jeff Mason
WASHINGTON | Mon May 2, 2011 12:00am EDT

(Reuters) - Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was killed Sunday in a firefight with U.S. forces in Pakistan and his body was recovered, President Barack Obama announced Sunday.

"Justice has been done," Obama said in a dramatic, late-night White House speech announcing the death of the elusive mastermind of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the New York and Washington.

Obama said U.S. forces led the operation that killed bin Laden. No Americans were killed in the operation and they took care to avoid civilian casualties, he said.

"The United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda and a terrorist who is responsible for the murder of thousands of men, women and children," Obama said.

It is a major accomplishment for Obama and his national security team, after many Americans had given up hope of ever finding bin Laden.

A crowd gathered outside the White House to celebrate, chanting, "USA, USA."

Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush, had repeatedly vowed to bring bin Laden to justice "dead or alive" for the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington that killed nearly 3,000 people, but never did before leaving office in early 2009.

U.S. officials said that after searching in vain for the al Qaeda leader since he disappeared in Afghanistan in late 2001, the Saudi-born extremist was killed in the Pakistani town of Abbotabad and his body recovered.

Having the body may help convince any doubters that bin Laden is really dead.

He had been the subject of a search since he eluded U.S. soldiers and Afghan militia forces in a large-scale assault on the Tora Bora mountains of Afghanistan in 2001.

The trail quickly went cold after he disappeared and many intelligence officials believed he had been hiding in Pakistan.

While in hiding, bin Laden had taunted the West and advocated his militant Islamist views in videotapes spirited from his hideaway.

Besides September 11, Washington has also linked bin Laden to a string of attacks -- including the 1998 bombings of American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania and the 2000 bombing of the warship USS Cole in Yemen.

Bush calls bin laden death "momentous achievement"

Backlash is a broad term and could come in many different forms whether you are considered an ally or enemy. Pakistan has not done any big favors for the US lately even though President Obama said this was done with their cooperation. I have a feeling Pakistan is a little embarassed at the moment about where this all went down.
