Osama dead.

[Picklepaige]

Did anyone just hear the news? Osama Bin Laden is dead.

 

[Laurelin]

Yeah just heard it.

 

[jess2416]

Someone just posted on FB about that, the Pres. is supposed to be making an announcement sometime soon, all it said was that the news was concerning Osama though...

ETA: Yeah just saw the news...

 

[JessLough]

Yah... I saw the news... and like 13 people update their status on my facebook.

They also claim he is dead every 2 years. If he is, great. But.. ya know, it is hard to be anything but skeptical at the moment..

Ever since they told us that Obama would be speaking tonight, I was wondering what could be going on and I definitely wasn't expecting that.

 

[Renee750il]

My mom came in a little bit ago and told me I should turn on Fox, that Obama was going to speak and it was probably going to be the beginning of WW3 . . .

What can you do? :wall:

According to various links on Twitter, the US "has the body and has DNA verified".

Now let's sit back and see who gets picked as the replacement boogeyman.

 

[KenyiGirl]

I heard it from you first, Picklepaige, and then turned on the tv to verify.

 

[Laurelin]

I wish he'd go ahead and talk already!

They are waiting on the telepromter setup.

 

[Southpaw]

About time.

 

[nikkiluvsu15]

Our TV is still broken (going on 2 weeks now ), so can't really watch the news. We went to FoxNews.com and watched a little bit, but it kept on freezing up. Tons of facebook updates, thats for sure!

The White House

you can watch it here

 

[Lilavati]

I got the word through the firm's news alert service . . . We're waiting for the President to speak.

Edit: Come on Mr. President, I'm sick of the talking heads.

Second Edit: All these people are having a spontaneous celebration outside the White House, chanting USA and cheering . .. they have a huge flag. Its beautiful . . . they must just be locals there's no way easy way to get there at this hour unless you live nearby . . . I wish the Metro was running, I want to go myself.

 

[Laurelin]

Ahhh here we go

 

[release the hounds]

I hope that mother ****er is enjoying those virgins he sent so many cowards to meet.

 

[Xandra]

Wow! Finally! All that time we didn't even know if he was skulking around out there or dead or what and finally after a freaking decade they actually got him.

ETA and thanks Greenmagik for posting the link-- I wouldn't have caught that in time if you hadn't.

 

[mrose_s]

Just saw it at work.

I have very mixed feelings about all this, I can see terrible things coming from it.
I didn't think they'd ever find him.

 

[Zoom]

This guy has been living in a freaking MANSION in Pakistan. And we couldn't find him until now? :nono:

 

[Xandra]

I didn't think they'd ever find him.

I was beginning to wonder. You have to give him credit, he made it for a long time. Lasting for 10 years as the most wanted man by the most powerful nation in the world, and with a $25 million bounty on his head.
