Thank God for our military.
Now, pray for our troops everywhere when the mindless dogs that followed this garbage try to avenge him.
Many souls will rest in peace tonight.
Truly, a glorious day - the world is a better place without this scum.
I certainly hope he suffered immensely before he died.

I'm celebrating. Free margaritas at dinner Tuesday and Wednesday nights to toast our servicemen.

I don't know where you heard that. It sounds more like Special Op's took him out, being they have the body.

I hope you're right. I'm very curious of how and where they got him as he's been living in Iran for a number of years. I guess he goofed and stuck his head out of his rat hole. Kudos to everyone involved.

It was a ground operation inside of Pakistan.

Excerpt:
A small team of Americans carried out the attack and took custody of bin Laden's remains, the president said in a dramatic late-night statement at the White House.

my big flag is hanging....first time since after 9/11. Everyone had a flag out then. It was good to see the country pull together. Even Bush threw the first pitch right down Broadway when baseball started again.

Excerpt:
Bin Laden was located at a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, which was monitored and when the time was determined to be right, the president said, he authorized a "targeted operation."
"A small team of Americans carried out the operation," Obama said. "After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body."
DNA testing confirmed that it was bin Laden, sources told ABC News.
Sources said the attack was carried out by Joint Special Operations Command forces working with the CIA.

Congratulations to our armed forces, and U.S. Intelligence operations. Great moment for the country, and President Obama.

Interesting details emerging about the location.
Jennifer Griffin is reporting on Fox that it's an important town in Pakistan. He was not hiding in a remote area. The details as to why they chose to give him up will be interesting.
