Dear Captain_Fil,

You can run, but you can't hide forever. Unfortunately, the evil that men do often lives on after them.

Regards,
John

I certainly hope there is no impending retaliation against the perceived 'infidels' working around the Middle East, but those that are there teaching should be particularly careful for a considerable while.

He's been pronounced dead before. My Bulgarian operatives had nothing to do with though...

I have a weird feeling that...a few weeks or months from now, Osama bin Laden will show up in a new video and say in Arabic: "Hahaha! You stupid infidels thought you killed me. You really think I'm dumb enough to stay in such a conspicuous stronghold. I'm still alive!! Hahahaha!"

Shocked

Obama's re-election will depend on the economy.

Churchill won WWII, but was voted out of office.

Bush freed Kuwait, but was voted out of office.

Obama....

I agree.

Why was Osama buried at sea so quickly?

No body. No proof.

Sounds suspicious.

Confused

Some say he was killed years ago - and was co-opted by the CIA as a Goldstein figure of hatred. All previous videos being elaborate fakes...yawn. Now others will surely say that this operation was a fake too.

Would never have happened if they'd displayed him Che style.

Maybe they were afraid of the posters and chic t-shirts and songs?

They should release any genuine photos of Osama's corpse.

I don't care how gruesome the pictures are. We've seen worse at a horror movie.

Just get it over with.

Mad

True that.

Sad to see so many people celebrating this with gleeful triumphalism. Friends' Facebook comments are childish to the extreme. Reminds me of Middle Eastern types dancing in the streets and shooting off AK-47 rounds skywards after beheading a US marine...

BREAKING NEWS!

A new tape will be coming soon from Osama bin Laden: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5goImUTnFgQHITWZJdbpPLB6lngWA?docId=ec68f068e92f4c649eb81332d190b7e6

I may have been prophetic. Shocked

I'm sure there were celebrations in Moscow after the death of Hitler.
