U.S. officials believe Usama bin Laden's son, Saad bin Laden, was killed in a U.S. airstrike in Pakistan.

Sources confirmed to FOX News late Wednesday that officials believe the younger bin Laden was killed by hellfire missiles from a U.S. Predator drone strike earlier this year.

The death was first reported by National Public Radio.

National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell told NPR that Saad bin Laden reportedly traveled to Pakistan last year after spending several years under house arrest in Iran.

and this is different from that “secret” CIA program that the “evil” Dick Cheney “hid” from Congress, even though the NYT and WAPO published news stories about it in 2002....?

Not a problem. I shouldn’t have added it’s already been posted. It good to hear GOOD NEWS over and over, because we are force fed enough crap from the DBM over and over.

My bad.

Thanks very much for posting. (no I am not a member of the posting police :))

Will Obama send Hillary or Biden to his funeral? Or will he himself go?

When did it become fashionable in the MSM to spell bin Laden's name "U"sama? It used to be "O"sama until "O"bama came along...

Nancy, Barak & Leon have few problems with push-botton, video-game warfare. Guys carrying guns... that is what they have a problem with.

Sorry isn’t good enough. You must hold a press conference and apologize for all of America’s selfish shortcomings.

No need to apologize since it has been nearly twelve hours since the last post and thus complies with the four hour guideline.

killed

Not for everyone. IIRC Sec. of Defense Rumsfeld referred to bin Laden as "UBL".

As I understand it, Usama is a more correct transliteration from the Arabic than Osama.

A crack White House team of professional apologists, led by the Apologist-In-Chief himself is being readied to travel to the mideast to deal with the fallout and damage to our image caused by this unfortunate incident.

They will apologize for America, for American arrogance and for America’s very existence. They will bemoan the fact that the nation of America ever came into being and that any Americans at all were ever born. Lastly they will extend the most sincere apologizes for this crime against humanity, against Islam and against Allah himself.

They will also promise to identify the responsible parties, prosecute them, imprison them, persecute their families and have the IRS confiscate their savings, their homes and all personal belongings. Their lawns and gardens will be salted.

The team will also be carrying several trillion dollars in freshly printed US dollars to give to the Taliban as a token of their remorse and utter self loathing.
