WASHINGTON – Osama bin Laden, the glowering mastermind behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks that killed thousands of Americans, was slain in his luxury hideout in Pakistan early Monday in a firefight with U.S. forces, ending a manhunt that spanned a frustrating decade.
"Justice has been done," President Barack Obama said in a dramatic announcement at the White House.

I can't find that anywhere. All the accounts I have come across state this happened yesterday and he was killed with a bullet to the head. So, what the hell is it? Bombs? Bullets? Is he even dead?

You're celebrating death and I can only take that to mean you won't have a snarky comment to make when when dead Americans are celebrated in the Middle East, right?

He may have been.
Reports are now that he has been buried at sea.
Post from another I forum I hang at:
I rarely post anything other than news links or responses, but I'm making my one exception tonight. If you believe Osama bin Laden was killed a week ago, don't. He's been dead for years. This "news" is nothing but red meat for the mindless obamabots.
Now, why be wary? Because the other shoe is about to drop. Personally, I think we're in for a world of shit. I don't have specific information, but the fact that all military bases are in FPCON B is a sure sign of bad things to come. I think we have a "reason" for a "terrorist" attack, and worse. Much worse. Be ready.
I concur.

Just got a flash on the 'puter that NorthCom has upped the threat condition to FPCON Bravo. Not sure what triggered it, but it's the first elevation in some time. Watch the news and maintain your SA, folks.

Bin Ladens death in PAKISTAN makes quackers sons deployment in AFGHANISTAN that little bit more pointless and just once again highlights the real reason there are troops in AFGHANISTAN.

i'm the last person in the world to be a conspiracy wingnut, but i was not happy to read this morning about a burial at sea.
A. cruelty to sharks and crabs.
B. there are those that will want to see his body. maybe not dragged through the streets, but a visual. nobody wants any stories down the road about osama having dinner with Elvis somewhere.
C. i also understand the need to not have some burial "shrine" for worshippers who will see him as a martyr, but he could have been secreted in the desert. for the jackals.
D. i hope authentic photos will be released to silence wingnuts everywhere. with the appropriately dated newspaper. was his head on a pike too much to ask?

People who are desperate to see Bin ladens corpse are just as sick as the ragheads who celebrate the deaths of troops from the US and UK.
Lets celebrate death just like the crazy ragheads do!
Retarded.

That's a response a child would make...Johnny did it, why can't I?
You're a heathen & for every person who responds in a similar fashion, I will be cramming this thread down your throat when you act outraged over what is said & done to dead Americans. No wonder they think the only good American is a dead American.

That post was so good it gave me an erection.
The "celebrations" outside the whitehouse are among the most retarded thing I have ever seen "USA! USA! USA! Bin Laden is dead terrorism is over!"
His ideaology is alive and well my friends.
On the plus side this makes Obama a shoe in for the next election!
Prefer your terrorist masterminds dead?, vote democrat!
