Obama is scheduled to give a late night press conference. Its about time. It only took 2 wars and billions of dollars to find a shoot one man. Or maybe it more to kill a idea.

Edit: I wonder if the shooter gets the 30 million dollar reward. Probably not. I would demand it.

That makes sense too. Some online sources were reporting that he was shot and killed. I guess none of them really know until we get the details

I've been watching Fox and ABC. He was killed about a week ago by a US missle and DNA results have come back positive that it is him. The Pres will make an announcement to the US in a few mins.

On Sept. 11th I was laying in my (at the time) GF's bed at college. Today, I was in my wife's bed on an Air Force base because I graduate from an intel school (imagery analyst) in 16hrs.

In any brief, if an HVI is taken out, the colonels or generals will always ask, 1) What are the effects of having this target taken out? and 2) Who's going to replace him? So while we celebrate tonight (already had a few beers), what's going to happen now?

Uh, no.

The "hive" was agitated decades ago, and there's now one less wacko plotting harm against westerners.

^ Shut up.

Yeah, Obama's speech sucked. Too much s*** and ZERO emotion. He's just a puppet.

He did say however that Bin Laden was killed TODAY. He made it sound like it was a ground assault and soldiers infiltrated the camp. This contradicts rc1's statements. Anyone got facts?

Also, I'm watching NBC and they're saying he was shot at least once in the head. I kinda giggled. I wonder which one of the soldiers got the honor of doing that? I highly doubt it was just "luck." I kind of wish they would have kept him alive though. That way he could have gotten tried like Saddam.

I'm watching NBC too, and the shot in the head makes me wonder... did he shoot himself?? Just throwing it out there... I wouldn't have wanted to be taken alive.

No, it confirmed them. SNWBRDR and LoneyBomber were saying it was a bomb. There was conflicting reports from many online sources. The facts are he was killed by a special forces unit with assistance of the Pakistani government. The operation was in effect since last August.

Yes, today Obama gave the greenlight to infiltrate. No american soldiers were hurt, and only terrorists were killed. I bet those guys are some BAMF's to rule all BAMF's.
