Bin Laden Is Dead, U.S. Official Says Obama to Make Announcement

Osama bin Laden has been killed, a United States official said Sunday night. President Obama is expected to make an announcement on Sunday night, almost 10 years after the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

There must be something wrong with me but I can't seem to get too excited over this. Especially when I see Geraldo have multiple obamisms on my TV screen.

The thought of seeing The Won crow over this in a few minutes appalls me, makes me physically ill.....I'll watch these threads because I sure can't watch him.

He'll probably have his TOTUS draped in red roses a la the victory wreath at the Kentucky Derby.

Oh, barf, barf, barf......

Justice is sweet!

Thank you U. S. operatives. Excellent work!

Just serves a lesson to MANY here on FR. Doesn't be so danged dogmatic all the time. Too many people on this site or so dogmatic about stuff that doesn't matter instead of just having an opinion (not saying that was you).

Can't tell you how many posts I have read of the years with Freepers slinging an insult at anyone who dare imply we didn't get him at the beginning...even with no proof.

Thanks for a rational view about a good thing. He was killed by the US Military with a drone and that folks is a good thing. Unless Ohaha shot his a$$ with a 9mm, then I only give him the credit for continuing to keep up the pressure. Will this change the fight with radial Islamic elements, no but this is a good thing. I do not think that the President will be able to ride this to victory in 2012, however I am glad he is dead. Now feed his remains to pigs and get on with it.

So you're saying he died on Good Friday?

He had better stay dead.

I sure hope mullah omar and al zarwahiri was with him when the Predator came calling.

We need DNA for absolute proof. Done by independent country like the Swiss. It is not beyond this administration to falsify documents.

Obama bin Laden hasn’t mattered for years. Kill one terrorist pig, and two more will pop up in his place.

Still, congrats to the shooter.

What I'm finding interesting about Al Jazeeras reporting is their spin on this news. So far, they are pretty much calling it “irrelevant” to Al Qaeda.

[dr_lew]

What will the proof be now? Remember the video of “bin Laden” which didn’t even really look like him? Maybe they killed this guy. We’re dealing in myth here.

[advance_copy]

NBC reporting he was killed by American personal and they have the body...

Nice. Bravo to our brave warriors who have brought justice to this evil enemy.

We need DNA for absolute proof.

I think that's why they sat on this for a week, I've read they were doing DNA testing and double-checking everything. I'm surprised, I would have thought this administration would have rushed the news out, only to see a new OBL video come out a week or two later, but it appears the adults were in charge and were doing everything they could to make sure that it is OBL.

To whom it may concern, I don’t like this. I think it sullies the meaning and message of Lady Liberty.

[Chandalier]

Congrats to our military for a job well done.

[Don Carlos]

No biggie. Ape shit is their normal state. :)

[LaineyDee]

This guarantees him for more years in the White House.

I don't think so.... In fact... I think the O will be looking over his shoulder now. He's betrayed his brothers.

If your neighborhood is somewhere in Michigan, that might be other than fireworks. Just sayin’.

It’s not a question of “falsifying documents”. All it requires is pressure from above applied to the usual functionaries. “I’m gonna ask you one more time ...” After a while groupthink sets in.

[FlyingEagle]

You are absolutely correct, but islamists may go apeshit 2 times over this kind of news.

I’m glad I do not live in Cairo anymore. Not a good time to be an American in a muslim country.
