Obama to make major announcement

[Yer mom 2]

If I was him i'd be thinking....didn't the FBI have a $5million dollar bounty on his head?

 

This wont apply to exempt/non exempt US govt employees id assume, just like if HR hires a stud in sales, they get no ride off the revenue

He'll get his 5 mil and never have to spend a dime. That man isn't paying for ish in any town the rest of his life.

[joeshushu 51]

I don't know if I would want to show my face in public as the one whom fired the fatal shot. Just saying the terrorist might send out their own people to take care of business.

The type of dude that storms Osama's crib and blasts him on Easter isn't the type to give a fock.

True

[rholio 339]

to be fair it's the cia and our military that should get credit, not ANY president.

 

It's like a quarterback in football... the President gets too much credit when things go right, and too much blame when things go wrong.

 

Congrats and thank you to everyone involved in the operation.

[FeelingMN 273]

Huge focking day in History.

 

To the men involved in this operation.....you're focking awesome. You've done your country incredibly proud. And that goes to all the men and women serving in our armed forces.

 

Like someone else already said, this isn't a time for partisan bullsh!t. This is a great day for America......BUT....are folks gonna get bent outta shape because Osama's body will be handled according to Islamic tradition? Will folks be upset that his body is being handled with any amount of "respect"? I hope not....fock it all....that focker's dead, and that's all that matters.

Apparently the early on correction that he was killed last Sunday has been corrected back to that he was killed around 2 a.m. this Sunday morning there.

 

The order was given last Sunday.

 

Not 100% about that.

 

Wouldn't have thought we could do a DNA verify in under two days.

[SUXBNME 1,583]

Ok...So it's been a secret for a week now, right? (allegedly)

My train of thought is that we had him alive (hopefully) for quite a while now and were able to torture his ass to get some good intel.

 

I didn't watch Obamas speech tonight, but I heard that he did a very good job as far as giving credit where credit is due.

 

I also don't necessarily buy the fact that our special forces were the ones that 'killed' him.

 

Here's how I see this this playing out...

25 million bounty on his head

One of his (Bin Ladens)'advisors' gave our .gov intel on where he would be at a certain time and place.

We captured him alive, tortured the fock out of him to get more intel, then killed the miserable fock (or didn't) after we thought that we got as much out of him as possible.

 

Tonight: .Gov leaked to the press that Bin Laden was dead and we are responsible for it...See how we all (us citizens) reacted to the news, and wrote a speech for our President to make it look as favoribly (sp?) as possible given what our (citizens) were thinking after we heard of his death.

 

Yes, I'm drunk, but either way, he's allegedly DEAD

 

Kinda weird how all the shake up recently with the power positions (CIA NSA DOJ) have been happening in the last few days, tho.

 

Also, I'm still a firm believer in AMERICA, FOCK YEA

Osama Bin Laden was killed at about 1:30 AM Pakistani time. About six hours before President Obama announced that U.S. Forces killed Osama Bin Laden (May 1st). There was resistance and a firefight. Bin Laden was shot in his head. Osama's son was also killed along with two or three other adults, including a woman who was being used as a human shield.

You raise some good points, actually. The story we've been given sounds like it's from a movie. Though if this were planned and manufactured, gotta think the news would have been broken sometime other than late Sunday night.

[SUXBNME 1,583]

Dude was shot in the head.

 

Eat it focker.

I'm sorry...Were you there to witness the head shot, or do you just believe whatever the media tells you?

 

 

I'm not saying that it didn't happen that way, but I doubt that it did.

I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait for the stories from the people involved in this operation.

"I understand this is a very special night for you, because you remember what happened on 9/11. What are your thoughts on this news?"

 

 

 

 

 

I mean REALLY? SHE remembers? Was there someone sitting around tonight that went "Osama Bin Laden killed. Osama...Osama...doesn't ring a bell. What's the big deal?"

I'm prolly I'm wrong with my assumptions, but there are obvious things concerning our national security that's best left leaving the common person oblivious to what is really going on behind the scenes.

I have no problem with that at all.

Like I said, I doubt we ever get the 'real' real story. I just think the timing makes this one more legit than it might otherwise be. It's still hard to imagine our guys dropping in from a helicopter, kicking in the door and spraying 5.56 ammo all over the living room.

Time to attempt to cook some chili dogs, but tomorrow, I'll tighten my tin foil hat a lot tighter and make you dolts think that there was no way in hell that I could have been a dumber person than I am now.

 

Alsonotreally. I've just read too many Ludlum, Vince Flynn, Clancy type novels to where I think that I know what I'm talking about on occasion.

20 years from now (or when Julian assburgerface) releases it,we might know what really happened.

Either way, fucko is dead. Let's enjoy

I'm tired so it's possible I'm just not thinking straight but I don't understand why Reuters and AP are saying it happened Sunday. For us yeah, but they usually reference times of events in regards to where they took place. Given this, it had to have happened Monday, May 2nd. Pakistan is 9 hrs ahead of EST.

 

eta: It had to have been a ~19 hour gap between operation and announcement. Makes sense it was Sunday that way.

I think it must have been May 2nd in Pakistan because I read on Al Jazeera that the attack occurred about 6 hours before Obama confirmed it and Obama confirmed it at about 11:15 pm Eastern Time on May 1st here.

If Al Jazeera is right about the 6 hours, everyone else is getting it wrong.

 

Never mind about what I prompted you to figure out if you read that and were going to. Think the answer is 31 hrs. Going to bed.

US tests bin Laden's DNA, used facial ID

Updated at 11:35 PST Monday, May 02, 2011

 

WASHINGTON: The United States is conducting DNA testing on slain al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and used facial recognition techniques to help identify him, a U.S. official said on Monday.

 

Bin Laden was identified by the assault force that killed him in a firefight in Pakistan in which he resisted and was shot in the head, the official said on condition of anonymity.

Results of the DNA tests should be available in the next few days, the official told Reuters.

 

The strike force was on the ground for less than 40 minutes and the CIA Director Leon Panetta and other intelligence officials in a conference room at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia watched the operation real-time, the official said.

 

"When word came in that the operation was a success, CIA officials in the conference room had a rather large applause," the official said.

I'm not saying that it didn't happen that way, but I doubt that it did.

 

So the newsfolk tell us he's dead....and we believe that. No questions asked. But they tell us he was shot in the head....and we gotta wait for confirmation.

 

Maybe you're right. After all, focker hasn't released a tape in quite a while. Maybe we've had him the whole time....like in area 51 or something.

 

Either way, who gives a fock. Dude is dead....hopefully.

 

And I hope he was shot in the head.....after a fierce firefight....and OBL is outta bullets. One of our guys steps up to him, says something like "72 virgins my ass", and squeezes some metal right between his eyes.

[nobody 2,781]

If Obama had the ability to parade Bin Laden around instead of killing him, he would have waited until about July 2012 so we could here about how Obama caught him for the next 6 months as everyone followed the trial.

I'm watching CNN now, and they said Bin Laden's body was buried at sea. What the ###### is that ######. Do they just love conspiracy theories.

Inside the raid that killed bin Laden http://www.kivitv.com/story/14551684/inside-the-raid-that-killed-bin-laden

By MATT APUZZO

Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) - Helicopters descended out of darkness on the most important counterterrorism mission in U.S. history. It was an operation so secret, only a select few U.S. officials knew what was about to happen.

 

The location was a fortified compound in the affluent Pakistani suburbs of Islamabad. The target was Osama bin Laden.

 

Intelligence officials discovered the compound in August while monitoring an al-Qaida courier. The CIA had been hunting that courier for years, ever since detainees told interrogators that the courier was so trusted by bin Laden that he might very well be living with the al-Qaida leader.

 

Nestled in an affluent neighborhood, the compound was surrounded by walls as high as 18 feet, topped with barbed wire. Two security gates guarded the only way in. A third-floor terrace was shielded by a seven-foot privacy wall. No phone lines or Internet cables ran to the property. The residents burned their garbage rather than put it out for collection. Intelligence officials believed the million-dollar compound was built five years ago to protect a major terrorist figure. The question was, who?

 

The CIA asked itself again and again who might be living behind those walls. Each time, they concluded it was almost certainly bin Laden.

 

President Barack Obama described the operation in broad strokes Sunday night. Details were provided in interviews with counterterrorism and intelligence authorities, senior administration officials and other U.S. officials. All spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive operation.

 

By mid-February, intelligence from multiple sources was clear enough that Obama wanted to "pursue an aggressive course of action," a senior administration official said. Over the next two and a half months, Obama led five meetings of the National Security Council focused solely on whether bin Laden was in that compound and, if so, how to get him, the official said.

 

Normally, the U.S. shares its counterterrorism intelligence widely with trusted allies in Britain, Canada, Australia and elsewhere. And the U.S. normally does not carry out ground operations inside Pakistan without collaboration with Pakistani intelligence. But this mission was too important and too secretive.

 

On April 29, Obama approved an operation to kill bin Laden. It was a mission that required surgical accuracy, even more precision than could be delivered by the government's sophisticated Predator drones. To execute it, Obama tapped a small contingent of the Navy's elite SEAL Team Six and put them under the command of CIA Director Leon Panetta, whose analysts monitored the compound from afar.

 

Panetta was directly in charge of the team, a U.S. official said, and his conference room was transformed into a command center.

 

Details of exactly how the raid unfolded remain murky. But the al-Qaida courier, his brother and one of bin Laden's sons were killed. No Americans were injured. Senior administration officials will only say that bin Laden "resisted." And then the man behind the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil died from an American bullet to his head.

 

It was mid-afternoon in Virginia when Panetta and his team received word that bin Laden was dead. Cheers and applause broke out across the conference room.
