I Predict mass hysteria, followed by ridiculously crazy legislation that further alienate the rights of U.S. citizens. Now that the (Boogie Man) is dead, I say sure, why not, lets throw a party!!!!! World War 3. Heck anyone can start that. But, instead I'll settle for a never-ending war where we chase more (Boogie Men) that costs the U.S. tax payer more than 100 million $$$ +++ or more per day and call it the War on (TERROR). I wonder what the total cost has been since it all started. (I'll just take a guess) 3-4 TRILLION..... That makes Osama Bin Laden the most expensive person ever killed in the history of Mankind (stupid-kind). I'm Glad he is dead, but that was a really expensive game. Not to mentioned all the service-members and their families who have been changed forever.

P.S. Did you know that Germany just barely made it's last payment to cover WW1 a few months ago. First thing that came to my mind after learning that was (Someone should remind them of the 2nd round). But I digress. OK..... Rant/over..... good day all

Has anyone considered the juxtaposition of the elimination of Bin Laden with the scheduled drawdown of the troops from Afghanistan in July.

Does anyone really believe that Pakistan didn't know where he was?

Makes me think the previous administration didn't want him taken down as a justification for remaining at war, just as the current administration waited until now to justify their troop drawdown.

It is always nice to imagine a coherent master plan exists, but they are all just in a reactive mode, consider it a big game of blind man's bluff.

Bin Laden will be quickly replaced and it will be business as usual.

Just looking for a cheap way to keep large aircraft from hitting tall buildings and other sorts of man-made disasters.

Driving down the cost of killing has always been a goal of warfare, lower cost will be less sensitive and far more effective. Shoot and scoot instead of stay and play.

ROFL ! I played this and one of my buddies decided he wanted to hear it again -5 times in a row until he was booed at by the others over here .
Some of my buddies went lurking on this site earlier and found it interesting .
So far nobody has called the police on us .

Ha Ha you're dead
The joke is over
You were an *********
And now you're gone
As your ship is going down
I'll stand by and watch you drown

Ha Ha you're dead
You're gonna be dead
Just remember what I said
Ha Ha you're dead
Ha Ha you're dead
Ha Ha you're dead
A sampling of the lyrics from HA HA you're dead... What a fitting song for this joyous occasion.
