There is nowhere to hide for enemies of the United States. Bravo to the CIA, Navy Seals and President Obama for authorizing this raid. Now we will find out who our friends are. Not Pakistan? Anyone who thinks this will end attacks by Muslim fanatics refuses to understand history.
The killing of Bin Laden, which I think is great, will only infuriate the radical Muslims who are now planning an attack on a western interest somewhere in the world.
This is good news Box no denying it, I just find it hard to believe we killed him then had time to find a sample DNA match from a family member, get it shipped back to the US, have it tested and the results confirmed and then have time to give him a proper muslim burial at sea in less than 24 hours.
11:15AM Monday... CNN reports: confirms a DNA match on BinLaden.

I guess there are no false positives in DNA testing. One and done...CSI Pakistan tested his DNA in the middle of a 3rd world country and matched to his sisters then disposed of the body in the ocean all in 7 hours...No ehuming the body for further testing to make sure the results were accurate, they dumped the body in the ocean...

I agree with Box. But I am sure there are ten more out there just like him. This is definitely good for Obama's campaign. Oh yeah--he'll be elected again. Bin Laden will be dead, gas prices will be in check, the market is booming--yup he will be back at the top. Now would be a good time to really make a move in the Palestinian/Israeli conflict.
Correction, gas prices won't be under control for a long time, there will be a few wars still being fought, unemployment will be 9%, and those in the know say we're heading for an economic collapse, I wouldn't bet anyone could get re-elected with those negatives. The war problem alone sunk Bush and Obama still has to figure what to do about the debt problem.
Can US Offer Final Proof Of Osama's Death? 27 mins ago (c) Sky News 2011
The circumstances surrounding Osama bin Laden's reported death raise urgent questions over how the US is so sure it got its man. Skip related content
Can US Offer Final Proof Of Osama's Death?
US officials have said DNA testing has proved the al Qaeda leader was killed in a villa in Pakistan.
They have also identified him by facial recognition.
But photographs of Bin Laden after his reported death have not been released.
Also, reports have suggested that Saudi Arabia was asked to take his body - but refused to do so.
The fact his body was buried at sea has so far only added to the speculation, although as a Muslim, he had to be laid to rest as quickly as possible.
Under Islamic law, people can only be buried at sea if they died there, or if there is a risk their body will be exhumed or dug up if buried in the ground.
The release of a photograph purporting to show bin Laden's corpse - which was later confirmed to be a fake - added to the confusion.
Journalists have not yet had the opportunity to ask more than a few questions of the Obama administration about details of Bin Laden's death.
A former British ambassador to the US, Sir Christopher Meyer, told Sky News: "I imagine we will see proof.
"I can't concede the US president would go out to make a statement to the world that bin Laden is dead without being able to produce evidence that he is dead.
"I think we will see some evidence - DNA or photographic - to prove there is not still some phantom Osama bin Laden riding the Tora Bora mountains."
The announcement is not the first time the world has heard of Bin Laden's death. Claims that the US and Britain kept up a pretence he was alive in order to continue their war on terror have been dismissed as conspiracy theories.
It has been suggested that bin Laden died nearly 10 years ago during the battle for Tora Bora in Afghanistan, either from a US bomb or from kidney disease.
And as for his audio and video statements, their authenticity has continually been questioned.
One of his video statements, released just days before the October 2004 US presidential election, was said to have been crucial in helping George Bush secure a second term in office.
But his statement from December 2001, when he was seen to confess to the 9/11 attacks, has attracted the most attention.
Bin Laden had insisted numerous times, through the Arab press and in video statements, that he had no involvement with the atrocities. His sudden confession was picked up on by doubters.
Additionally, his appearance in the December 2001 video was markedly different. He sported a black beard, not his usual grey one, his pale skin had become darker and he had a different shaped nose.
He also looked in good health - a contrast to his earlier gaunt appearance - and critics have pointed to the fact he is seen writing a note with his right hand, although he was left-handed.
In total, Bin Laden is thought to have released around 40 statements since 9/11, many of them with clear references to events at that time.
When Uday and Qusay Hussein - the sons of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein - were killed in a firefight with US troops, authorities relied on photographs of their bodies to convince people they were dead.
And when Saddam himself was executed, video footage of his death and subsequent photographs seemed to give final proof of his death.
Al Qaeda apparently has NUKES! And that’s not all. Apparently we have known it for some time now! This according to some of the latest WikiLeaks releases. According to the released US government cables by WikiLeaks, US authorities believe al Qaeda already has “nuclear capacity” and is “ready to use it.” Further, the cables also reflect that 9/11 mastermind Kalid Sheikh Mohammed threatened al Qaeda would unleash a “nuclear hellstorm.”
According to reports in The Telegraph, “A senior al Qaeda commander” claims that they have hidden a NUCLEAR BOMB somewhere in EUROPE! And that nuke is meant to be detonated IF the infamous, yet even elusive Osama bin Laden is ever caught or killed. Now this tidbit of information is in the cables and the question is are we doing anything to find this nuke in Europe? Or did we just minimze it all and ignore it as the Obama administration seems to love to do??
Apparently, US authorities have uncovered NUMEROUS attempts by al Qaeda to get nuclear material and they fear that they may already have purchased uranium necessary for making nuclear weapons. So we obviously know this. Now just what are we doing about it under this President who ended the most successful CIA anti-Terrorism operation with a stroke of a pen on 1/22/2009 under Executive Order 13491?
Reportedly, the WikiLeak cables also reveal other plots by the terrorists including a plan to put CYANIDE into air conditioning units in public buildings across the US and a plan to recruit ground staff at London’s Heathrow Airport to make attacks on planes easier! So this is what the terrorists are up to and, meanwhile, in this country we have the TSA and Homeland Security JUNK GROPING and looking for those boogey men “terrorists” dressed like nuns and grandma Mable! Unbelievable! How in the HELL are we going to win the war on terror like this???
So these terrorists claim they have a bomb in position and one that is operational somewhere in Europe that is designated to go off if we catch or kill Osama bin Laden. And US officials seems fairly certain that al Qaeda has nukes. Meanwhile, Barack Obama has busied himself with cutting any and all terror fighting operations in this nation. Do I have it right? WTF?? Just whose side is our president on folks? Ever wonder???
Let me make my opinion “short and sweet” here on this terrorist affair.
IF we don’t get serious about the war against terrorism and start KICKING THEIR ASSES they are going to kick ours in some BIG way! Obviously, the terrorists are serious so WHY AREN’T WE? Frankly, I think it’s time we KICK THEIR ASSES and let the pieces fall where they may!! Enough of this BALL-LESS BULLSHIT game we’ve been playing!
NUT UP AMERICA!! Good God Almighty!!

The right winger neo-cons must LOVE Obama...He started a 3rd war with Libya with assassination attempts on Ghadaffi, kept Gitmo open, continued warrantless wiretapping, gave out TONS of money in corporate welfare bailing out bankers, GE paid NO TAXES, he extended the "Bush Tax Cuts", AND signed the orders for a "kill" mission for Bin Laden, apparently executing him before being found guilty in a court of law. What ever happened to Obama's belief in a "fair trial" and "rule of law"?
