Osama bin Laden is dead

[TracyCoxx]

YES!! The best thing to do is to put his head on a pike at Ground Zero, but I understand we have to go through proper political correctness and do a muslim burial at sea. Let's just hope they at least chose shark invested waters.

And I do thank Obama for keeping up the fight

Next on the list is the Egyptian Zawieri(sic) Osama's mastermind.

I am very pleased Obama chose to go in with Navy Seals rather than blow up the estate from a predator drone. We know for certain who was killed. It will be interesting to know how the Seals did it in view of the extensive security at the estate.

As Stalin said of Hitler, "So the bastard's dead? Too bad we didn't capture him alive!"
Hiding behind a woman. Why am I not surprised? First, the so-called "hero" flees at Tora Bora, then uses a human shield in his final moments. Just call him Osama ar-Jabaan?"The Cowardly." Good riddance.

I suspect all charismatic domineering leaders (Stalin, Hitler, Gaddafi, Osama, etc,) are personally cowards. Training innocent young boys and girls to go out and blow themselves up is cowardly and evil.

Obama got re-elected? What?

I think we must keep in mind that these are extremists and were OBL
left off someone else will carry on, I don't think it's over yet. He was
one of many.

Yes, there will always be more. But Bin Laden was the frontman for Al Qaeda. He's the one people know and who unites radical muslims for his cause. His replacements may be able to do that too, but I don't think as well. If we had decimated Al Qaeda and never found Bin Laden it would feel like an empty victory. But we have cut down Al Qaeda pretty good and we have killed UBL.

I think, perhaps, if we end the war in Afghanistan but keep a base there, and call the war on terror over then this just might be a point in time when radical muslims might think twice about getting into the fight and go play scrabble or something. And I'm not suggesting that we stop looking for Zawahiri and other high value targets or let our guard down wrt Al Qaeda because they, and others like them will always be there. Officially the war can be over. Unofficially we can keep going after these guys.

But if not now, then when should we declare victory and end the war? As you said, there will always be another one out there to resume the fight. It's time for the world to attempt to move on.

While I do not agree that we should keep a base in Afghanistan (it is not the right of the United States to do so, and I do not believe the majority of Afghanis would support it no matter what the Kharzai client government desires), I agree with TracyCoxx that the U.S. war in Afghanistan should be ended ... right now.

Very well said Tracy.

No pics of Bin Laden with a hole in his head will be released? WTF???!!

I smell a rat. What's the matter. Is the administration afraid their fakes aren't good enough?

More smoking mirrors perhaps. I think they shot somebody that looks like
him. But then again I usually don't take anything B.O. said face value. Just
remember, those pictures can come from anywere.

I am no Obama supporter.

But these posts above are a great example of why there is a continuing call for someone, anyone, on Tracy Coxx's ideological side to start acting like an adult.

Come on Tracy, it's obvious why he doesn't want to release a photo of Bin Laden with part of his head blown off and his brain exposed. His supporters would go insane.
If Bush had done in Bin Laden this would you have questioned his motives for withholding the photos?
