Don't think so...

Is there really a point in Obama speaking anymore? Everyone knows what happened by now.

Donald Trump takes credit!

**Pauke! Pauke!** · May 1st, 2011, 19:18

Report is that it was a Human Op. No drones.

This is the best news I have heard in quite some time. Time for a toast. Bartender!!, WHISKEY ALL AROUND!!! :ernae:

**Pauke! Pauke!** · May 1st, 2011, 19:24

Reports are that Pakistanti Intelligence Forces were involved in the OP.

In Pakistan no less? And we have the body. I think the US should shut down tomorrow and throw a party!

But now my daddy always told me never to say anything about the dead unless it's good. Okay, Bin Laden;s dead, GOOD!

That said, I really think our purpose in that God-forsaken piece of rubble is done. Let's bring our young men and women home, there is nothing left in Afghanistan for America but death. The only cash crop and resource they have is the opium poppy. The people do not care for us, let the Taliban take them back, who cares, not one more American death is worth the soiled souls of the entire nation.

I still warn all to watch your borders, this incident will loose a caseload of fundamentalists Muslim nutcases in the coming days and weeks.

I have to fly commercially a lot. I hope I don't have to get full body cavity searches because of the security concerns.

This provides a certain degree of closure to 9-11 families and the nation, but the risks still far out-weighs the saftey-net now. Can't help worrying more now about my US Marine Corp Sgt. son heading off on his 4th tour to Afghanistan. God Bless families in combat zones out there.

life and liberty but no pursuit of happiness?

**Pauke! Pauke!** · May 1st, 2011, 19:51

Appears it was a U.S. Team that did the OP. Pakistanis cooperated with us. This is good news. We may never know who they were to protect them but we need to salute them all.

ok...since this was put out the media has been saying he was killed about a week ago.....this is how DNA testing was done.......Oboma said in his speech the action took place "today" following his order to take action last week. So how did DNA testing get done already?

**Allen** · May 1st, 2011, 20:00

I for one I'm not jumping for joy. He's gone but evey thing he made is still here...

/Why the fark is ESPN running this as "Braking News"?
