Osama Bin Laden Dead Osama Bin Laden is dead, President Obama will announce, according to multiple news organizations. The U.S. is in possession of his body, a person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press late Sunday. President Obama is scheduled to address the nation on the developments Sunday night. It was unclear where how bin Laden was killed and how the U.S. captured his body. Officials have long believed bin Laden, the most wanted man in the world, was hiding a mountainous region along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/01/osama-bin-laden-dead-killed_n_856091.html |

Osama bin Laden, the face of terror, killed in Pakistan By the CNN Wire Staff May 1, 2011 11:15 p.m. EDT (CNN) -- The most prominent face of terror in America and beyond, Osama Bin Laden, has been killed in Pakistan, U.S. officials said Sunday night. Bin Laden was the leader of al Qaeda, the terrorist network behind the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. U.S. officials said that their forces have the body of bin Laden. The enormity of the destruction -- the World Trade Center's towers devastated by two hijacked airplanes, the Pentagon partially destroyed by a third hijacked jetliner, a fourth flight crashed in rural Pennsylvania, and more than 3,000 people killed -- gave bin Laden a global presence. The Saudi-born zealot commanded an organization run like a rogue multinational firm, experts said, with subsidiaries operating secretly in dozens of countries, plotting terror, raising money and recruiting young Muslim men -- even boys -- from many nations to its training camps in Afghanistan. He used the fruits of his family's success -- a personal fortune estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars -- to help finance al Qaeda in its quest for a new pan-Islamic religious state. How much bin Laden got in the settlement of the family estate is still a matter of contention. Estimates range from tens of millions to hundreds of millions. Even before September 11, bin Laden was already on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. He had been implicated in a series of deadly, high-profile attacks that had grown in their intensity and success during the 1990s. They included a deadly firefight with U.S. soldiers in Somalia in October 1993, the bombings of two U.S. embassies in East Africa that killed 224 in August 1998, and an attack on the USS Cole that killed 17 sailors in October 2000. Bin Laden eluded capture for years, once reportedly slipping out of a training camp in Afghanistan just hours before a barrage of U.S. cruise missiles destroyed it. On September 11, sources said, the evidence immediately pointed to bin Laden. Within days, those close to the investigation said they had their proof. Six days after the attack, President George W. Bush made it clear Osama bin Laden was the No. 1 suspect. "I want justice," Bush said. "There's an old poster out West that said, 'Wanted, dead or alive.'" Osama bin Laden was born in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1957, the 17th of 52 children in a family that had struck it rich in the construction business. http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/05/01/bin.laden.obit/index.html?hpt=T1&iref=BN1 |

Well, Obama just got himself re-elected. He could rape Betty White on live TV now, it wouldn't make a damn bit of difference. He's getting a 2nd term. |

Faux News needs to pack it in already. On the headline at the bottom of the screen it reads Usama Bin Laden. |

I love Joan, but don't bring her Politics in to this. As she says, other than gay rights and women's rights issues she's a conservative. In past interviews she's implied that torture is okay and that any Muslim could be thrown in to jail illegally because of 9/11. |

Yes. Like all conservatives money is all she cares about. She says she'll vote for anyone who will lower her taxes. (i.e. a conservative politician.) She doesn't believe the rich should be taxed at a higher percentage than poor people and doesn't believe in welfare, under any circumstances. She thinks it's just as easy for a black crack baby to grow up to be an affluent/rich person as it is for a white kid born to affluent/rich parents. Like I said, I love her as a comic and star, but I'd rip her a new asshole in basic conversation. |

That's actually a really bad rip off joke, just like her Blackie O' joke. Some comedian used to joke that they can't find a 6' 4" Muslim walking around hooked up to a dialysis machine, and so on. Can't remember the full quote. Joan is a terrible cunt, and if you read the ridiculous shit she said about Democrats on Wikipedia, you'll realize how truly stupid and vile she is! Don't even tell me you're for gay rights, and you vote for Conservatives! That's like being in favor of black right, but you vote for the KKK. She's a walking mental case, let's not forget. She has body dysmorphic disorder. She's mentally unstable. She's in no position to make fun of others. She's the ultimate joke, and I know she cracks jokes about herself, but she is truly mentally ill, like Michael Jackson, minus the kiddy stuff -- as far as we know. She freaked out when people made fun of her daughter. She's such a hypocrite! I really don't like her. Edited by TickTock, May 2 2011, 05:50 AM.

Republican sits back and lets 9/11 happen. Republican lets mass murderers go free so that he can get his unjustified illegal war going. Democrat comes in, captures the most wanted man in the entire world, and cleans up their mess. Republicans are fucked for decades to come! Can't wait to see how low they go now to bash Obama for killing bin Laden. You know it's coming! Best news of all: They cut into "Celebrity Apprentice" (Donald Trump) for this speech! HAHAHAHA! |
