As I lay me down to sleep, one less terrorist this world does keep. With all my heart I give my thanks, to those in uniform regardless of ranks. You serve our country and serve it well, with humble hearts you go thru hell. So as I rest my weary eyes, freedom rings and our flag still flies. You give your all, do what you must.. You're never alone because in God we trust....Amen ✞✞✞ THANK YOU!

its probably better that way. i mean, what were they gonna do? hold a proper funeral for him? that grave would be defiled in a matter of minutes if it were here in the US, or robbed and his corpse drug through the streets if buried over there. just seems easier this way


also, from what ive read, he was shot in the face, but that photo is fake

also if you buried him, his grave would become a place of pilgrimage for his terrorist supporters

Are you high? Obama campaigned on the promise of killing Osama bin Laden, and he did. Promise kept.

Bush sent 150,000 soldiers into Iraq to get Saddam and the "WMD's" and roughly 11,000 into Afghanistan where bin Laden was presumed to be. Not a strong indication of an urge to catch bin Laden. Oh yeah, and then theres this little tidbit:

If he was just killed lastnight how did they get him back to the us and burn his body that quick I thought it took like 9hrs or so to cremate a body.

Where did you get he was cremated? I only heard (again "heard" so I count it only as rumor) that he was buried in a clay coffin in the ocean somewhere.

He wasn't killed last night, probably the day before or so. As stated in the articles posted this operation has been planned since late last year just kept from getting out to anyone except those involved. This operation was probably carried out well before last night.

I think this would of been a better idea. This would be like that bait car system cops have. Bait Osama, they could even do a TV show on how they catch them and try to play innocent.

In Obama's speech, it sounded like it happened early yesterday morning (not sure how the time zone changes would position that in Islamabad or wherever) so it sounds pretty recent. It also sounded like this operation was being planned since August 2010

Great news and a real credit to our military and intelligence community. They have basically hunted this sack a **** for 10 years and did not stop.

are you high? the information used to find him was acquired during the Bush administration. furthermore, it was allegedly acquired using techniques that were labeled "torture" by Obama and subsequently banned. if KSM had been captured during the Obama administration, Osama likely would not have been killed.

and that video proves nothing. it is highly impractical to focus on capturing one man while fighting a war. the capture or killing of OBL was but one of many goals of Bush's War on Terror, dubbed "Overseas Contingency Operation" by Obama. the US was not in afghanistan to hunt down OBL. Bush explained in his 2001 war on terror speech that the goal was to take down al qaeda and other terrorist networks abroad and States that support them, including but not restricted to afghanistan under the taliban. at the end of this clip, he says that his goal is to make sure that the troops are well supplied, that the strategy is clear, and the coalition remains strong. these are all appropriate things to say during a war, not "we have to catch that guy no matter what!" remember, he was but a man. without safety, money, supplies, etc, he could no longer pose much of a threat to the US. by removing these things and actively working to destroy terrorists, Bush was able to essentially neutralize him without actually killing him.


and by the way, Obama said basically the same thing, "My preference obviously would be to capture or kill him. But if we have so tightened the noose that he's in a cave somewhere and can't even communicate with his operatives, then we will meet our goal of protecting America."

the only real difference is that Obama more or less went with the flow, and is receiving credit for killing OBL, whereas Bush took the steps necessary to achieve the end result, but received much flak for doing it.
