I have always wondered if the US and it's allies slow footed this just because they feared of what would happen in the extremist world if Bin Laden was caught or killed by the US.

I am not surprised the guy was able to hide this long whatsoever.
Foreign country and brutal geography made him like findinga needle in a haystack so to speak.
Just as a comparison, Eric Rudolph the Olympic bomber, hid in the hills around Franklin NC for 5 years with all kinds of manpower and resources commited to finding him. Right where they thought/knew he was and they couldnt get him.

In the grand sceme of things this means absolutely squat.
Terrorists will still be terrorists, but it's nice that the victims of 9/11 and other terrorist tragedies get some justice.

I just wish he wasn't dead....would have been much much more tortuous for him to be jailed and go through the federal court system then locked up in Leavenworth for the rest of his life.

I purposely avoid emoticons or green text. My only warning comes from my sig. I find it funnier that way.

This will put a big boost on Obama's popularity rating as well....at least short term if not long term.

Body apparently found in Afghanistan. I read some speculation the other day that they thought he might be hiding in Kunar province.

Okay, why should I believe this? Is this another one of those Weapon of Mass Destruction rumour? I believe it when I see his body. Sometimes CNN and the US government overreacts and make up stuff.
