Wow - the web just lit up on this pretty hard.  They timed that pretty well for the 10-o'clock news in the fly-over's!

[a2capt]

LOL, no kidding. WhenI first saw this, I searched and nada.

Now, it's exploded.

If someone has a DVR and can record the press conference and dump it to DVD afterwards.. I'd be thankful.

Then I can put it as a capstone on my collection of 9-11 captures.  I don't have anything plugged in at the moment.

Not to include the 5 text messages, 3 e-mails, CAPTalk, Facebook, and a phone call all within10 minutes telling me.  News travels extremely fast now a days!

A.Member...with everyone letting me know, congrats on being the first one!

It's too bad we couldn't take him alive. I would've like to see him swinging from a rope and then have his head on a pike on the south lawn as a warning like the Romans...

[Stonewall]

Can I go home now?

Can I go home now?

Sorry, you need to dust Kaddafi first, but then its cool...... Unless we add another front to our five current non-wars.

We still must be strong of heart.

Do you really think that by killing him we are done in the sandbox?  All this is going to do is piss off the bad guys even more.
Force protection went to Bravo at all Military facilities.
Damit....i gotta go to work now...

Yeah, but we do have his body.  Which means we could do a Pershing...

[RADIOMAN015]

Killed a week ago by bomb/missile...details still coming in.

We got the S.O.B.!

To all the men and women that made this possible:

We that's great BUT seriously just like street gangs & drug cartels, there's always someone ready to take their place.   Terrorism is winning because we are having to divert our limited resources into these hunts and the requirements to come up with various protective methods/equipment anywhere Americans are at, including right here on US soil 

Subsequent events will tell what the overall implications this will have.

"The bee hive has officially been kicked."

You making a guess or do you know something? Obviously you shouldn't share what you know if you indeed know something.

Wow.

That closing just sent shivers up my spine. Talk about awakening. I swear, I've never seen that much patriotism from Obama. He was channelling Bush tonight.

Well done.

Now if I can find a copy on video somehow in the next few days..

[Senior]

The terrorist is now a martyr.  That is a big deal to them.  No one really ever wins in war.
Thanks to those who were part of the takedown. :clap:

It's probably already on youtuve.

Also, Obama has plenty of patriotic and jingo messages out. They all do.

Here is the sad part that no one is thinking of.

By killing BinLaden what we have done is making another martyr for their purpose, the highest sort of martyr that there could possibly be, THE leader has given HIS OWN life for the cause. Now someone else will take his place and this will give Alqaeda more to fight for, and a stronger resolve. I would have preferred him taken alive and to lay in a prison hospital on life support until he dies of extreme old age behind bars so he is not a martyr. But... I'll take what I can get  . Congrats to that small group that was allowed to take care of business. But for the news to repeatedly state that spec ops are the only ones that coud possibly have done this is sickening! They are obviously forgetting about every soldier that this country has, Army Infantry and Marine Infantry could have taken care of this no problem.

Kind of interesting to watch as the Wiki article evolves, including the discussions about relevance, importantance, etc., from an academic and policy perspective.

Here's to Bin Laden now finding out that those 72 virgins are all dudes.
