UPDATE- Bin Laden is Dead-President spoke

[LaLaw2000]

While I am celebrating the fact that Bin Laden is dead, I do keep in mind that there could be a terror attack in retaliation.

Meanwhile, God Bless America!..................:heartbeat:

They said on ABC there was a ground attack...might change when all news comes in.

Someone has always been bank rolling him. I really have serious doubts about Pakistan now. A mansion? CIA intelligence, etc? Ghadafi (sp) or someone like that or several someones have been protecting him. It just makes sense with all the long ruling powers taken down recently in the middle east. Sold out Bin Laden finally.

As the news spread, crowds gathered outside the gates of the White House in Washington DC, singing the national anthem and cheering.

The delay in the national statement is because they are making sure EVERYONE is aware so security measures can be upped....

My neighborhood is whooping it up. It's only 8:30 here so this could go on all night LOL.

well I just phoned the President and told him that we already know so he best speak up. Told him he should tune into WS if he wants to know what's up.

CNN is reporting it was a "highly sensitive intelligence mission carried out by humans, not a drone".

That's what I'm watching also.

 

[Quiche]

I think they are saying it was not that drone attack, but a special highly sensitive mission. Unless I am misunderstanding.

I'm hearing that now... hmmmm, waiting for Potus!

From what I understand some of his family was with him and they were also killed.

That man has never been broke. He has had money stashed all along. He is very wealthy.

They did say though that Pakistan was in on the mission.

IMO

WOW is John King drunk, or just cotten mouth, he is not speaking clearly, and he stumbled all over that part about historic. Some of it didn't even make sense.

Justice for those killed:

Son just called from LA...said that there wasn't much on the news?

 

[TXredhead178]

A very good day for America, indeed! Justice for the victims of 9/11 at last!

 

[mankato64]

wow, this news even made the front page of ESPN.com.

Everyone please be careful if they are shooting off fireworks in your area.

With that said...Rejoice, Rejoice

 

[chasing.halos]

I am so used to saying "rest in peace" on this site that I am confused now as what to say. I guess rest Osama, you , works?

:innocent:

I think he is just tired, or possibly having a medical issue going on! I noticed it to...

 

[Steely Dan]

I think the mansion was blown up with one of our pilots sitting in the cockpit with his hand on the trigger.

IMO

That dudes getting a lot of free beers tonight I'm sure! :rocker::woohoo:

I had to let my kids know. It is on the major stations here now.

 

[LadyD'enah]

Can anyone tell me if it is standard procedure to host a press conference this late at night?

I know they've been waiting on DNA evidence, but I still find it odd haha
