Great news. Hopefully familys and loved ones from the 9-11 attack can get some closure.
Also, its fantastic there were no US deaths in the fire-fight that killed him. Impressive special forces op.

h3ll yeah, the troops finally got that sob. This will definitly be a day that goes down in history. I pray this will lead to a little more peace and a lot less killing.

Apparently Gitmo was the reason they tracked down his courier, and that lead them to him.
I guess the Dems will now have to face the fact that Gitmo was a good idea.

Give him his due; bin Laden is dead under his government & I don't recall him setting a timescale for doing so.
Much as I abhor socialists I wont denigrate them for the few times they get things right.
