Osama bin Laden dead (Official)

[King]

Obama is taking credit with masterful speech-writing.

[King]

But did he say to Bush "we got him"?

Bring it on.

[King]

I know I'm going to get attacked for this, but while Presidents Obama and Bush deserve a lot of credit as does our military, all the glory belongs to God.  He gave the US Intelligence the ability to find Bin Laden and delivered Bin Laden into our hands.

Grow up.

A 10 year muddled design with random intelligence drops was much easier than forcing miscarriage back in '57 or a cliche lightening strike.

The scene outside the White House has gotten more lively.

Watching it on CNN. Some douche is waving a "Bush-Cheney 04" placard.

People are seeing it on TV and saying "hey let's go celebrate on TV, too!"

[King]

Please change the name of this thread to make it the official dead Osama thread. It's not clear from just Obama to speak and somebody will inevitably make a duplicate thread otherwise.

I agree.

How?  I want to as well.

Go to the first post and edit it.

The crowd outside the White House seems to be entirely college student.

CNN is currently reporting on some of the anomallies that lead them to the house (heavy foot traffic, burning trash instead of pickup by the city, and no telephone/internet service despite being a million dollar home).

It was also a much large building than the rest of the neighborhood and was a walled compound.

Does God also deserve the Glory for 9/11 itself? 

No, that was Satan.  God does not side with those who break his commandment of thou shall not kill, which he was joyful when he gave the American and Pakistani special forces the health and strength to kill people today.

One of my friends on facebook just chimed in saying that "somewhere Princess Catherine (official title - the Duchess of Cambridge) is saying "hey, this was supposed to be MY weekend!!!""

K. THX.

It's an Okie joke.  A Jokie, if you will.

[King]

Yeah, the haters are gonna keep on hating. He'll get some support from the wishy washies though. I'd be shocked if he breaks 60 in any poll. It would have shot any GOP president over the moon. There's obviously a double standard.

Conservatives are older and not as easily swayed.

[King]

Also I haven't read most of this thread, so I don't know if anyone has pointed this out yet, but all the jingoistic, revenge-fueled celebration is really gross and speaks pretty badly of Americans.

Save it for the hangover.  We're drunk on nationalism tonight, Lief.

[King]

The idea of getting blitzed and rallying at 2 am in front of the White House is such a great thing I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.

[King]

Even in this time of extreme patriotism, it's good to see jmfcst is still at the top of his game when it comes to making inappriopriate remarks about Islam.

[King]

I've never seen Rush look so happy!

Google maps view and diagram of the compound:

(google maps images are actually mistagged...dunno where to find the actual compound)

I entered the coordinates on Wikipedia in Google Maps and got this place:

Guys, Limbaugh was being sarcastic.  Some of you are really quite dense.

He might have meant it as sarcasm, but it is still right.

He did.  I listened to him this morning.  He was complaining about how Obama used the words "me" and "I" in his speech.

Obama, Hillary, Biden and Gates in the Situation Room.

Why was John Lithgow there?  (Blue shirt, standing behind the seated General Webb.)

He became Obama's National Security Advisor when Rahm left. Bit of a shake-up.

They apparently sent Keanu Reeves and Dwayne Johnson over to the kill, so it makes sense.

[King]

The difference between jmfcst and him would make an interesting subplot in the BushOK movie.

[King]

At least the Donald has a new big time "release" conspiracy to drag along.

[King]

Figures that a Democrat got Bin Laden. Remember the tape he released to help Bush get re-selected?

You're back to calling Obama a Democrat?
