Default bin Laden dead



The timeline in Obama's speech indicates the strike was launched while the world's media was focused on the royal wedding. 2 billion jaws dropping at Pippa's derriere, including the middle east. Brilliant timing.

And it was only 8 years after GWB was "truly not concerned about bin Laden."

It's good that the military that Bush built can still its job, with all the lack of support from Obama, who knew. It's a good thing, just very late in the game. We had so many resources devoted to catching/killing him and it took nearly ten years?! It shows you how bad our intelligence is over there, and makes one wonder what Pakistan was doing given how close he was to sensitive organizations. Good job SEAL Team 6.

The organization is not dead, as OBL has been marginalized in Pakistan for years.

Yes. Praise the precision of military strike groups. SEALS rock.

In case non-Arabic speakers care, this is how his name, not full, looks in Arabic.

أسامة بن لادن

The word on the right is his first name, the middle in bin and the left his family name.

Arabic doesn't have an "O" sound, so it's odd we call him "O"sama. He has twenty-two sons left. I wonder how many follow him into the family business.

President Obama is to be commended for maintaining many of the Bush policies that lead to this event. When liberals behave like conservatives, America wins.

Nancy Pelosi, September 7, 2006:

Quote:
[E]ven if [Osama bin Laden] is caught tomorrow, it is five years too late. He has done more damage the longer he has been out there. But, in fact, the damage that he has done . . . is done. And even to capture him now I don’t think makes us any safer.
Nancy Pelosi, May 2, 2011

Quote:
The death of Osama bin Laden marks the most significant development in our fight against al-Qaida. . . . I salute President Obama, his national security team, Director Panetta, our men and women in the intelligence community and military, and other nations who supported this effort for their leadership in achieving this major accomplishment. . . . [T]he death of Osama bin Laden is historic. . . .
Heh.
