Well Obama will be on shortly to confirm, unusual to have an address to the nation so late at night.

All I can say is good riddance, and hopefully it brings closure to the families of 9/11.

Dean820 · 02-05-2011 03:52AM

I wonder how he died, did they kill him or?

Guy:Incognito · 02-05-2011 03:53AM

Hang on a second, is it a coincidence that he is killed on the same day pope john paul came back to life?

Are we witnesses the second coming of the popenator?

Celebrity Apprentice is being preempted for this announcement in America. Obama obviously saw the threat posed by Trump.

Jesus Wept · 02-05-2011 03:54AM

This might have been mildly interesting nine years ago.

Associated press says he was killed by a bomb last week, the delay in confirmation was due to DNA testing to be absolutely sure. No location as to where the bomb was deployed yet.

LOL at the Yanks on Fox; "al-Qaeda will want to negotiate." Eh, what? How much control do they think that he actually did.

Every time a beard dies, humanity breathes a sigh of relief.

Yea, hopefully it does if they swallowed the whole story.

I think we can all agree this is a MASSIVE story!

Aoifey! · 02-05-2011 03:57AM

So I'm guessing RIP doesn't apply here?

Guy:Incognito · 02-05-2011 03:57AM

How long before new "previously unseen material" gets released and then constant rehashings under the guise of "remastered" gets pumped out for profit by greedy family members? It's Tupac all over again.

Killer Pigeon · 02-05-2011 03:57AM

OBAMA KILLS OSAMA!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 02-05-2011 03:58AM

Well on Fox they seem to think that al Qaeda will now cease to function. Amazing that he had all that control without getting caught, I can't make a phonecall without it being logged in half a dozen different places.

The problem is not always the beard, it's often the evil 'tach that lives above it.

I fail to see why they'd cease to function because Osama is gone.
Surely someone can fill his sandals.

You need to start using phoneboxes in Afgan caves, they are much more secure.

Osama Bin Laden is dead ....
