“Justice has been done,” Obama said in a dramatic, late-night White House speech announcing the death of the elusive mastermind of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the New York and Washington.
Obama said U.S. forces led the operation that killed bin Laden. No Americans were killed in the operation and they took care to avoid civilian casualties, he said.
“The United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda and a terrorist who is responsible for the murder of thousands of men, women and children,” Obama said…
U.S. officials said that after searching in vain for the al Qaeda leader since he disappeared in Afghanistan in late 2001, the Saudi-born extremist was killed in the Pakistani town of Abbotabad and his body recovered.
Having the body may help convince any doubters that bin Laden is really dead.
This death alone does not mean victory. But, this death is a significant moment and hopefully may be the beginning of an end to a deadly chapter.
UPDATE: Here’s a link to the IT geek’s tweets – Sohaib Athar – @ReallyVirtual – who liveblogged the raid without knowing what he was watching. Getting away from the city for the day, relaxing in the mountains.
pedro,
We know you are a dufud. That is a cross between a dufus and a dud.
Are you mad because Obama is an American and you are just another lazy wetback that can’t think for himself? A lazy, stupid wetback that likes penis. Big penis. Too bad Alphie has a small penis. You two would get along very well.

#115–Mike==No, I don’t know better. You may or may not have anything. Yes, I now recall “criticism” of Israel every time they take action after months and months of mortar shells coming from Gaza. My criticism that Israel should have taken action much earlier and much more conclusively puts me against these critics==but who are these critics? I see them as idiots so have never paid enough attention. Who are they? What makes you think they are “liberals?” How many liberals such as myself disagreeing with them does it take to negate the notion it is a liberal concern as opposed to a “all killing is bad” position? Do no conservatives take the same position?
Silly to hang labels on issue and think you have contributed anything but FUD. But that is too much of your routine. Think more deeply. Stop being a tool.
#120 Well, seems we have another cloned sheeple slave. Here’s Ralph http://bit.ly/k5lnVJ
Bobbo, hatred of Israel is quite common on the left, as well as some righties, it even shows up on this site, just do a search. Your ordinary liberals don’t have that hatred, though they do sometimes fall for the idiotic talking points the left puts out there about civilian casualties, disproportionality, etc. I’ve seen enough anecdotal evidence to convince me that the anti-Semitism of the left is quite strong, to the point they make common cause with Islamists, despite the antigay attitudes of the latter.
#124 Spot-on!
Mike–still just bald assertions and no links. Damn me, but I’m interested in what YOU think is a liberal slur, not what I may think is one. You see the difference?
silly to identify x number of slurs, x-y stated by a liberal by one definition or another, THEREFORE: Liberals bash Israel.
Silly. But typical for a Puke. You can look that up on the internet too.
Just STOP being silly.
#126 It’s only talk!
Babble, burble, banter

brouhaha, boulderdash, ballyhoo
It’s only talk
Back talk!
>How many liberals such as myself disagreeing with them does it take to negate the notion it is a liberal concern as opposed to a “all killing is bad” position?
Yes it is refreshing to see a few liberals take this position. It would take many more to negate it. If Israel had been involved, the story would have been Israel kills dialysis patient.
