Really happy it happened in a fire fight instead of a bomb. I wanted him to know it was coming. Proud of our covert ops teams that handled this and all of our armed forces in general!!! Good job men!!!!
Bush would have deserved the credit as our commander and chief if he had gotten him as well. I am so proud of Obama and how this whole thing was carried out with him making decisions every step of the way. He deserves his props for this and America celebrates. He and our military are all American Heroes.
President Bush and President Obama both deserve credit. However, neither deserve it more than the men and women in uniform. Shut up about the Presidents.
and congratulations President Obama. Through all these tornadoes and the Royal wedding, not a word was leaked about this operation. I am really impressed. He deserves ever bit of the pride he must feel right now.
CNN is showing a GEOTV feed that is showing the mansion on fire.
Oh, and BOOM, Headhot!
Breaking historic news: President Truman won WWII, after all, he was president when the war ended, right? FDR tried for YEARS to beat the Nazis and Japs, but it was when Truman was prez that the victory finally occured.
Some people are just plain stupid....
Your stupid reply should be aimed at the lame breaux66. When I first heard the news, no particular president, ANY president! was not what I was thinking. It was more a sense of relief and my thoughts went first to our gallant men and women of the military, and then to the 3,000 people murdered on 9/11. Then I come to this board and see crap being posted by that moron b66...and naturally, YOU unable to set aside your own partizanship say nothing about that, but rather launch an attack against me for daring to point out b66's stupidity.
Obama did nothing. Our military deserve the credit.
Excuse me sir but my initial posts didn't mention a President either. But I certainly won't fault beaux66 for wanting to give Obama cred because the last time I checked the president is the COMMANDER IN CHIEF. Our men and women are not wandering aimlessly in the Afghanistan desert, they are under command.......just not under the person YOU want.
Five years. Five damn years that mansion, and likely UBL, has been there. How in the hell did Pakistan or anyone else see this place? Obama can get rid of half our debt if he stops giving money to Pakistan and make them pay us back for every last penny we've ever given them.
genpop didn't give praise to Obama or bash Bush. He laid all praise on the military.
