Osama Bin Laden is Dead

I don't know what to think. It's like when Michael Jackson died- I just didn't believe it at first. He's finally dead. It isn't over- but this is a serious turning point in the war.

The Hide-and-Seek world champion for ten years has finally been bested.

You will not be missed.
What, you expect me to say something witty?

Yes he deserved to die, and I hope he burns in hell

I second that.  And isn't that from a Samuel L. Jackson movie? XD

Death was too good for him. I would have preferred he be captured and returned to the states. Tie him to a chair in a locked room with Uncle Sam, Captain America, Major Glory, and Guile. I'm sure he would have received the death penalty anyway- but still. He didn't deserve a death so quick.

Unless I missed something my only theory regarding that is perhaps he was killed in self-defense. Hell, he was a terrorist mastermind who probably slept with an AK-47 under his pillow. There's no way he wouldn't put up a fight.

I don't know, though, I haven't heard much about it other than he was livin' large in Pakistan...

Still, I wanted to see a body, or even visual proof/confirmation of his death. Apparently, they tossed his body in the ocean, and aren't planning on releasing any photos. It really irks me. Not that I don't trust that he's dead- I just wanted to see it for myself. Also, the lack of visual evidence is just going to feed the annoying conspiracy theorists.

Oh god no.  That was one of the first things that came to my mind when I read the part about them throwing him into the ocean.

Me too.

"OSAMA NEVER BOMMED US IN THE FRST PLCE IT WUZ R GVT AND NOW THEIR LETTING HIM GO BEX IT WAS NEVR HIS FALT TO BEGIN WITH AND THER LYING THESE R B FACKS!!!

>.<

I already have a friend who doesn't believe he's dead. I think as Americans, we deserve to see pictures. It's something we've all wanted to see for a very long time. I heard Osama's son was killed too in that firefight. No confirmation, but I did hear.

I think they said he got shot in the head.  Maybe there wasn't anything left to take a picture of.  I wonder if there will be "unofficial" pictures of his dead body will pop up at some point.  Saddam Hussein's execution video ended up getting leaked by an unofficial source, but I don't know about bin Laden.  It doesn't sound like they allowed people to get too close to him with their camera phones.

Keaton

I saw a photo of his corpse, I tried to find it but it's been taken off the Book of Faces.  I can confirm however that he was shot through the head, and I'm willing to stake my reputation that it was actually him.

Well, I can rest easy knowing that he's gone now.  Hey, Bin Laden, enjoy the Ninth Circle of Hell, and say hello to Vlad, Adolf, and Joseph for me, now would ya?

There's a recorded news program on YouTube from some some Middle Eastern country (I can't recognize the the language) that shows his face.  It looks like him and he looks pretty dead to me.  The video is getting flooded with a bunch of idiots saying "OMFG BIN LADEN IS ALIVE HE'S A US AGENT OBAMA JUS WANTED 2 GET REELECTED!!!!!!!"

Edit: You can also find the picture by doing a Google image search.
