Romney: What are you going to do about this economy?

I am so happy right now that I don't care if this has a positive effect on the Muslin Socialist's chances of reelection. However, I think you two should heed the wise advice of Winston Wolfe.
@GhostOsama: Well this sucks...I accidentally enabled location on my tweets.
There's no better way to tie up a Presidential address than by invoking "The Secret."
That was a hell of a speech. I don't care what political party you're in or what your beliefs are. Credit where credit's due.

Agreed. As an American, I can take pride when someone steps up to the plate and delivers something we can be proud of in a moment where we need it. Shirtless hugs tonight, boys.

Close enough for tonight, man. I am not sure I will sleep at all tonight.
Worth noting that Abbottabad is far, far inside Pakistan. A lot closer to India than Afghanistan.
This was an brilliantly executed operation.

Gil Gunderson would have you know that this isn't worth celebrating because the war isn't over. Oh, and that he completely agrees (http://twitter.com/#!/GilGunderson1/status/64904524028051456) with Dan Bernstein (http://twitter.com/#!/dan_bernstein/status/64903438579941376) that celebrating this makes us look as bad as the Palestinians who celebrated 9/11. (It maybe immature to drag a twitter feud over here but I'd like a collective shunning of Gil on this).

Far enough inside Pakistan to make me believe that Pakistani military and intelligence knew exactly where he was for 10 years. Motherfuckers. Glad he's dead but not looking forward to seeing how that little wrinkle plays out. What did Obama finally give them? Hopefully California.

Because I resent this ridiculous assertion of yours that celebrating this seems to imply that we aren't aware that this didn't end the war or that there aren't still unresolved issues. The fact that I'm genuinely glad that this bastard has been removed from the face of the earth doesn't mean I'm somehow unintelligent or ignorant of the complicated circumstances of the war on terror.

I think this is a great event and certainly purgative for this country. The news from this country has been an unrelenting stream of shit that it is great to celebrate the first thing that isn't terrible.
However, the costs of the war have been huge. In blood, in fortune, in prestige. Oh and in the personal freedoms that this country used to take for granted. Celebrating like the KUBBBIEZ won the pennant or something just seems gauche.
Watching this brings to mind those videos from 9/11, of Palestinians celebrating, and how angry that made me feel. Celebrating this in the way that many are seems beneath us. But, hey, this is America, where they can (still, thankfully) do (and say!!!!) whatever they want.

I think this is a great event and certainly purgative for this country. The news from this country has been an unrelenting stream of shit that it is great to celebrate the first thing that isn't terrible.
However, the costs of the war have been huge. In blood, in fortune, in prestige. Oh and in the personal freedoms that this country used to take for granted. Celebrating like the KUBBBIEZ won the pennant or something just seems gauche.
Watching this brings to mind those videos from 9/11, of Palestinians celebrating, and how angry that made me feel. Celebrating this in the way that many are seems beneath us. But, hey, this is America, where they can (still, thankfully) do (and say!!!!) whatever they want.
If one could still get OTC ipecac, I'd be having a purgative event at the moment. A "great event"?
Well, it certainly is historic, no?

Please. There are no more than a handful of people for who I'd say actively celebrat their deaths. Hitler and his close supporters. Arafat. The white dudes who kept Apartheid going for so long...

I don't think that it is, really. I understand that it's crass. I really do. But I also know the kinds of people who are out there celebrating and I know where they come from. They're not particularly bright people, no. What they're doing is immature and perhaps distasteful, but I know people who aren't really intelligent enough to experience the depth of emotion and maturity it takes to be solemn or reserved about something like this. I know it's crass, but that doesn't necessarily make it wrong. I know my best friend in Afghanistan right now thinks its a major accomplishment. I can analyze and over-analyze the politics and why this may even complicate the situation and why things are never as clearcut as what they want them to be or that our government has utilized these events for their own ends but frankly, if this lightens his burden, or that of anyone who was irreparably scarred that day, if it makes them feel like somethings been accomplished or some measure of justice has been achieved, well, I'll let them celebrate.

I get this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lkk8Cku4p8). I was more specifically referring to the "process things" part. It's a mindset that turns nearly everyone, including oneself, into a bit player on a cheap stage.
Guys, please take a step back and realize what you've done to the Dead bin Laden thread. Perhaps there is another Website where the Gil/SKO slap and tickle could continue in earnest. Maybe something where they could check in from their phones and respond to each other directly using @ and RT or something.

This was an brilliantly executed operation.

I swee what you did there.
Maybe Gil is just having a hard time discerning people celebrating the deaths of over 2500 people who did nothing worse than work in an office building, and celebrating the death of the man who orchestrated those 2500 deaths.
If you haven't seen this Twitter feed (http://twitter.com/#!/ReallyVirtual) yet, scroll down to the post that says, "18 hours per day is not loadshedding" and read up. It's essentially a live-blog of the capture.
I find it interesting that celebrating the death of one of America's biggest villains is what churns your stomachs.
Just to cherry pick from recent news we've had people obsessing over a pointless wedding in another country, Snooki had a best-selling book and every other magazine cover has something about Teen Mom on it.
A few celebrations aren't going to tarnish the image of Americans any more than it already has been to those that already hate us.
That said, it's over and everyone can go back to requesting the President's school records, watching Real Housewives, doubting that bin Laden was actually killed...you know, productive shit like that.

Gil Gunderson would have you know that this isn't worth celebrating because the war isn't over. Oh, and that he completely agrees (http://twitter.com/#!/GilGunderson1/status/64904524028051456) with Dan Bernstein (http://twitter.com/#!/dan_bernstein/status/64903438579941376) that celebrating this makes us look as bad as the Palestinians who celebrated 9/11. (It maybe immature to drag a twitter feud over here but I'd like a collective shunning of Gil on this).
Yes, shun me for having a different opinion on one small aspect of this GAME CHANGING EVENT.
Cheap shot.
Shut up, hippie.

Pretty good run-down of everything that is known so far:

QuoteAccording to Rogin, the meetings Obama convened with his national security team concerning the operation were held on March 14, March 29, April 12, April 19, and April 28. And Rogin breaks down the the chain of events from over the weekend that led to the final go-ahead:
The final decision to go forward with the operation was made at 8:20 AM on Friday, April 29 in the White House's Diplomatic Room. In the room at the time were [national security adviser Tom] Donilon, his deputy Denis McDonough, and counterterrorism advisor John Brennan. Donilon prepared the formal orders.
On Sunday, Obama went to play golf in the morning at Andrews Air Force Base. He played 9 holes in chilly, rainy weather and spent a little time on the driving range, as well. Meanwhile, the principals were assembling in the situation room at the White House. They were there from 1:00 PM and stayed put for the rest of the day.
At 2:00, Obama met with the principals back at the White House. At 3:32 he went to the situation room for another briefing. At 3:50 he was told that bin Laden was "tentatively identified." At 7:01 Obama was told there was a "high probability" the high value target at the compound was bin Laden. At 8:30 Obama got the final briefing.

QuoteAccording to Rogin, the meetings Obama convened with his national security team concerning the operation were held on March 14, March 29, April 12, April 19, and April 28. And Rogin breaks down the the chain of events from over the weekend that led to the final go-ahead:
The final decision to go forward with the operation was made at 8:20 AM on Friday, April 29 in the White House's Diplomatic Room. In the room at the time were [national security adviser Tom] Donilon, his deputy Denis McDonough, and counterterrorism advisor John Brennan. Donilon prepared the formal orders.
On Sunday, Obama went to play golf in the morning at Andrews Air Force Base. He played 9 holes in chilly, rainy weather and spent a little time on the driving range, as well. Meanwhile, the principals were assembling in the situation room at the White House. They were there from 1:00 PM and stayed put for the rest of the day.
At 2:00, Obama met with the principals back at the White House. At 3:32 he went to the situation room for another briefing. At 3:50 he was told that bin Laden was "tentatively identified." At 7:01 Obama was told there was a "high probability" the high value target at the compound was bin Laden. At 8:30 Obama got the final briefing.
Before speaking to the nation, Obama called former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.

QuoteIt stretches credulity to think that a mansion of that scale could have been built and occupied by bin Laden for six years without it coming to the attention of anyone in Pakistan's Army.
The initial circumstantial evidence suggests the opposite is more likely—that bin Laden was effectively being housed under Pakistani state control. Pakistan will deny this, it seems safe to predict, and perhaps no convincing evidence will ever surface to prove the case. If I were a prosecutor at the United States Department of Justice, however, I would be tempted to call a grand jury....
...
Of course, Mullah Omar and Al Qaeda's number two, Ayman Al-Zawahiri probably also enjoy refuge in Pakistan. The location of Mullah Omar, in particular, is believed by American officials to be well known to some Pakistani military and intelligence officers; Omar too, they believe, is effectively under Pakistani state control. Perhaps the circumstantial evidence in the bin Laden case is misleading; only a transparent, thorough investigation by Pakistani authorities into how such a fugitive could have lived so long under the military's nose without detection would establish otherwise. That sort of transparent investigation is unlikely to take place.
More:
QuoteAfter President Obama took office, he and the new Central Intelligence Agency director, Leon Panetta, reorganized the team of analysts devoted to finding Osama Bin Laden. The team worked out of ground-floor offices at the Langley headquarters. There were at least two-dozen of them. Some were older analysts who had been part of the C.I.A.'s various bin Laden-hunting efforts going back to the late nineteen-nineties. Others were newer recruits, too young to have been professionally active when bin Laden was first indicted as a fugitive from American justice.
As they reset their work, the analysts studied other long international fugitive hunts that had ended successfully, such as the operations that led to the death of MedellÃn Cartel leader Pablo Escobar, in 1993. The analysts asked, Where did the breakthroughs in these other hunts come from? What were the clues that made the difference and how were the clues discovered? They tried to identify "signatures" of Osama bin Laden's lifestyle that might lead to such a clue: prescription medications that he might purchase, hobbies or other habits of shopping or movement that might give him away.
The Langley analysts were one headquarters egghead element of the hunt. Similar analytical units at Central Command in Tampa and at the International Security Assistance Force in Kabul sorted battlefield and all-source intelligence, designated subjects for additional collection, and conducted pattern analysis of relationships among terrorists, couriers, and raw data collected in the field. Detainee operators in Iraq, Afghanistan, at Guantanamo and at secret C.I.A. sites also participated. Apparently, the breakthrough started several years back from detainee interrogations; it's not clear yet how or by what means the information about the courier who led to the Abbottabad compound was extracted.
Overseas, C.I.A. officers from the Directorate of Operations and the Special Activities Division—intelligence officers who ran sources and collected information, as well as armed paramilitaries—carried out the search for informants from bases in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Units from the military's Joint Special Operations Command, which includes the Navy Seals, Delta, and other specialized groups, joined in. Often, Special Operations and the C.I.A. worked in blended task force teams deployed around Afghanistan, and, more problematically, as the Raymond Davis case indicated, around Pakistan.
These teams searched not only for bin Laden, but also for other "High Value Targets," as they are legally and bureaucratically known inside the U.S. government. My understanding is that as of this spring, there are approximately forty legally designated, fugitive High Value Targets at the top of the wanted list system. If there were forty, I suppose there are now thirty-nine.

I find it interesting that celebrating the death of one of America's biggest villains is what churns your stomachs.
Just to cherry pick from recent news we've had people obsessing over a pointless wedding in another country, Snooki had a best-selling book and every other magazine cover has something about Teen Mom on it.
A few celebrations aren't going to tarnish the image of Americans any more than it already has been to those that already hate us.
That said, it's over and everyone can go back to requesting the President's school records, watching Real Housewives, doubting that bin Laden was actually killed...you know, productive shit like that.
Me, I'm just excited to see the national anthem at the Bulls game tonight.
Wait, what?

I'm not sure how feasible it is for the guys on the ground to have cameras capable of broadcasting a real time feed, especially since the equipment would get in the way and you generally don't want to carry anything more than you have to. If anyone has that capability, it'd be Special Operations types.
At a minimum, the helicopters supporting the mission would be equipped for that and give you a birds-eye view of the situation as it happened.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/05/12/eveningnews/main20062410.shtml
QuoteCBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports the 40 minutes it took to kill bin Laden and scoop his archives into garbage bags were all recorded by tiny helmet cameras worn by each of the 25 SEALs.
Officials reviewing those videos are still reconstructing a more accurate version of what happened. We now know that the only firefight took place in the guest house, where one of bin Laden's couriers opened fire and was quickly gunned down. No one in the main building got off a shot or was even armed, although there were weapons nearby.
The SEALs first saw bin Laden when he came out on the third floor landing. They fired, but missed. He retreated to his bedroom, and the first SEAL through the door grabbed bin Laden's daughters and pulled them aside.
When the second SEAL entered, bin Laden's wife rushed forward at him -- or perhaps was pushed by bin Laden. The SEAL shoved her aside and shot bin Laden in the chest. A third seal shot him in the head.

I fail to see how releasing these details could be construed as "spiking the football."

"Hey, we went through the guy's place and found porn! We don't know if it was his or not, but, PORN!!! We also found a notebook that profves beyond any reasonable doubt that this guy was still the swinging dick of the organization even though he was a crusty old turd who liked to watch himself on a shitty TV that probably didn't have MLB Network OR AMC in HD. Lame."
