Of course. That's a given. But even though it took almost 10 years, we've got our man. Killing the figurehead has got to be a great moral victory, if nothing else.
A moral victory for us, a matyr for them. I think it only gets worse from here.

Too funny. President Obama get's the credit, hehe.
I predict Trump will take the credit. After all, as soon as the Donald announced that he was considering announcing his candidacy, OBL allowed himself to be killed. The connection is clear.

It was on his watch, but he had nothing at all to do with it. If theres a robbery and I live on that street, Im not a suspect. Ill expect his speech to have a lot of ' I's ' in it like he had any relevance.

I listened intently when President Bush gave the speech after 9/11. I will listen to President Obama's speech tonight just as intently. An enemy of the United States and the free world is dead. Today is a good day.

Obama didn't take credit. He addressed that it was America's win. This was an awesome point. Hopefully the troops will see the light at the end of the tunnel now and have the drive to pull out with the win in short time.

Announcement of bin Laden's death comes on the eighth anniversary of former President George W. Bush's controversial "mission accomplished" statement aboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln after the March 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq.

Well, it was on his watch.....it's his history now.
"Obama got Osama."
Godd riddance to bad rubbish.
Uh...yeah. Wasn't he against the war? Didn't it take him 6 months to agree to troop increases that the Commander HE chose asked for? And Obama gave him HALF the troops he asked for?
Yeah...Obama and the Democrats are SOOOO good at that war thing.

According to CNN there was five deaths bin laden, one of bin laden 's sons, two couriers, and a women that someone used as a human shield. It took the Navy Seals 40 min to complete the mission!!!!

Man, screw you Troll. All I stated was a FACT, and that the announcement came on the 8th anniversary of "Mission Accomplished".. It was the observation of a coincidence, I never said one demeaning thing about Bush, or anything for that matter until now. Go stir a turd on someone else.

How is it stupid **** to quote GWB on the unimportance of Bin Laden? There are those wanting to give Bush credit and detract it from Obama. Obama gave the order, pure and simple. Bush hasn't been around for a couple of years. Rejoice in an American victory and STOP wishing it hadn't happened so Obama couldn't get any credit.

Wow, seriously? This news breaks and all some people can think to do is argue politics? You guys aren't running for office in 2012 are you? I expected the politicians to start a little of this but you know what? They haven't (yet anyway). So, you guys think you should do it for them? There are people in the streets celebrating and you're behind keyboards trying to offend each other.
Here's a clue on something, none of you know what the hell you are talking about. None of us are fully aware of what did or did not happen behind the scenes during any of this. You're blaming a president who was in office for not getting him and trying to blame a president who was in office when he did get his.
I logged on the forum and looked for this topic hoping to find some words of encouragement and something to remember moving forward. I now am sorry I did. To the people who can't be mature adults, you should be ashamed. To everyone else, I'm glad to finally see the words in the title of this post.
