Well, maybe they knew that there was some important al quaeda chief, but they didn't know that he was osama.
That's actually another proof of the fact that killing osama isn't any better than killing another of the various al quaeda chiefs, and all the celebrations and the joy in the USA are just caused by the over demonization made by the media.

I found the place he was hiding in myself, and considering it was in a rather large city... I guess theres tons of corruption and fear-mongering in pakistan?

[quote]ok it is official that he is dead, and he was killed my a US missile.

he was frikin shot in the head with a m-16

About 45 minutes ago the administration just said they would have preferred a live capture. Straight out of the horse's mouth.

Well obviously, but in the circumstances of a gun fight you do what you can.

Granted, but they claim it was only chance that he was there. They weren't going for a live capture anyway. They were going in to kill.

You know I'm sorry but the second I heard that he was dead this song literally jumped into my head instantly: *Warning Strong Language*
Did that happen to anyone else?

Or at least change it a bit to include a broader, more popular, and more general topic such as "war" or "terrorism."

Er.
He was shot by a gun.
And he died.
Ppl went to DC because they saw it was a meaningful military victory.
Our involvement in the middle east is going to drop now, especially if they catch Zawahiri (2nd in command in Al Qaeda) then I think we'll GTFO.
And yeah this war was a fail from beginning, to kill one man we used brute force instead of just super funding the CIA for .00000000000002% of the amount we've burned. GG on trying to kill an idea.

I think this a step forward for America in some ways. It verifies what we've all thought for so many years, that the Pakistani government was hiding bin Laden. I just feel bad for the children that had to see all of the bloodshed, but I'd rather deal with that than being sent into war when I'm only 5 years old

He was not killed by a drone he was killed by a group of 25 Navy SEALS.

Good Riddance.

I don't think it was the entire government. The entire story would have to be more complex, otherwise we would have been pissed.
I have a feeling there was a group of insiders that supported him in his settlement in the city, keeping it off the 'tracking grid' or whatever.

But the war was terrible, and I fear we've made more terrorists than we've lost. Just saying.

25 Navy SEALS
