Osama Bin Laden killed near Islamabad by US Forces

[Joecoolyo]

crowds are starting to celebrate outside the white house. Should these celebrations be put down? This could look bad and incite violence against Americans.

That's like saying that American's shouldn't have cheered at Hitlers death.

This man is one of the most hated in the world, especially here in America, why shouldn't we cheer?

 

[Zelig]

I highly doubt he'll get a funeral. No one wants a shrine to Osama.

Can't really stop people from holding a funeral, other than not giving them the corpse.

Because you cheer when your home sports team wins the championship, not when you kill someone.

 

[Dachs]

You were at the Whitehouse?

Nah, I don't live that close; I was at another place, one with a TV.

 

[SG-17]

No, the rights of Americans to celebrate should not be curtailed to appease the sentiments of the world.

Exactly. Hell people are setting off fireworks right now in my town.

I meant a body won't be released.

That is the most unpatriotic thing you could ever say. If they want to come at us then "Come at me, bro!"

 

[Disgustipated]

So where's the screenshot of his death?

 

[Incodcito]

Exactly. Hell people are setting off fireworks right now in my town.

I heard some too. (I live in Brooklyn, NY)

Maybe in Canada.

There's a lot of sky scrapers in the USA, I'm sure they won't run out of targets.

We'll kill every one of his terrorist friends.

 

[Disgustipated]

Drudge showing text he spoke with G.W before he did his statement. Classy. I have a lot of respect for Obama for his conduct.

 

[bhsup]

The body should be returned to any non-terrorist family members for proper burial. There is no reason why we shouldn't do that.

Finally a funeral where people won't be upset if the Westboro Baptist church protests.

Also in the spirit of being fair and balanced, I just found out that the picture I posted was from the Sacramento Fox affiliate and not the national Fox News station.

 

[dexters]

Fox news is awful. They had Ron Paul come on and debate an Obama impersenator.

 

[Godwynn]

 

[DroopyTofu]

Obama really should change his name

He should just go by his middle name. Much less confusing.

Exactly. Hell people are setting off fireworks right now in my town.

There's a street party downtown in my hometown right now. However, I'm just going to bed.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Holy crap this has spewed a bunch of terrorism-related threads.

Ahem, anyway.

As a New Yorker who was there on the day it happened, you can't imagine how joyous I was upon hearing this. My mom said her only regret was he got suck a quick death.

It was quite odd hearing Fox News predict what it was and be right on the money for once! Or maybe they got a leak sooner than CNN. Dunno.

I fear for soldiers abroad due to reprisals.

I also wonder what this will do in Afghanistan. Probably not much; Osama was just half the job. The other half was installing and maintaining a friendly government. Hopefully we can find some way to do it cheaply... otherwise Osama wins, even in death. He did want to bleed us dry.

USA Number One!

Obama's gonna get re-elected for sure I think now. My mom says "Oh, well, Bush started it; the Democrats wouldn't have done anything!" but... let's be honest: 1) Americans have short memories and 2) We associate all that happens in the President's term with him.

As a random thought, I wonder how many deaths will be caused from the celebrations.

Oh damn, there goes one of The Daily Show's reports.

Nah, I think the only people that would attribute this to Obama are the people who already support him.

EDIT@Godwynn: What is that gif from? Do you know? I can't tell if it's edited well or if Obama really did kick open a door.

USA # 1!
