It's hilarious how they are claiming Saad Bin Laden wasn't specifically targeted, as if they didn't want to waste a missile on him. Right. They are being intentionally insulting, hoping to draw a comment, or reaction. Maybe they figure if the father doesn't react it will lessen his stature by showing fear.

One morning we're all going to wake up, turn on the news, and hear that we got OBL. I wonder how much time will elapse before Cheney and Co try to take credit.

[Moliere]

Probably not Sseb, because there is substantial evidence that OBL died in Dec. 2001, probably from natural causes. Hard to get the sterile water and electricity you need to run a dialysis machine when you're in a cave in Tora Bora. But you're right, if something bad happens, it's easy to imagine our former "vice president" right there on Meet the Press saying, "See i told you so, everybody should have listened to me, but nooooo, they call me Darth Vader, and say that i have started WWIII, and the Prince of Darkness, and blah blah blah..."

Meh.

Like all desert princes from Saudi Arabia, Bin Laden has 34,335,662 more sons still left.

[Ergon]

And you have how many, that you treat the death of someone's child as a celebration?

[Moliere]

His father died in December 2001, supposedly. There's a new book out on the subject that backs that up.

[Tagrid]

Condolences!

No one... No One... NO ONE... should EVER lose a child to violence - of any kind!

[Ramirez]

This jihadi was not a "child."

Good grief.

[Tagrid]

Clearly you're not a parent.

My 39 yr old son is MY CHILD! Saad bin Ladin was in his mid-20s - and still the child of grieving parents. We are ALL the child of someone - regardless of our age, or whether our parents are living or dead.

Again - NO ONE should lose a child to violence - of ANY KIND!

[MountPanic]

No one should lead a child into a life of violence either.

Daddy didn't LOSE his son. Daddy KILLED his son.

[MountPanic]

A Saad ending to an angry life.

What can you say but "oh well?" This was the path he chose.

[FogBelter]

I guess we're lucky "W" wasn't having a play date with him at the time.

[Ergon]

Would Jaysus have celeberated, or Moshe?

[PWM]

Now he lost someone like all those parents who lost servicemen looking for him.

[kepary]

the Obama administration has already issued an apology from the U.S.

[PWM]

bush should apologize for not finding the man after 8 years. But that would have offended his daddy's busniess partner.

[kepary]

assuming he's still alive

[kepary]

when you say business partner are referring to the sheik that obama bowed to???

[ladylove114]

I read a lot of conspiracy theorists that say the buildings on 9/11 falling at "free-fall speed" is one way to prove it was an inside job. I just want someone to tell me how fast steel and concrete is supposed to fall. Does is float like a feather? Somebody please tell me at what rate it was supposed to fall.

[jackq]

Even if Bin Laden is dead, so what. He did the damage to a point USA almost went bankrupt.
This one stinks,it stinks from here to a cave somewhere in Afhanistan

Definitely a False Flag Incident - Remember the Gulf of Tomkin Resolution - Same Thing - that is how we start wars that we want folks.

If for one second people actually believed this garbage, they would move to a different country. What is keeping you around? Apparently our own government is killing its own people, shouldn't you move? Or are all governments equally evil? Quit smoking the chronic, it is making you paranoid AND st00pid.

flagged for being stooopid

[kcmookie]

No kidding.

[Ascoli]

I'm sure killing the son makes the USA feel so powerful and rightous.
Sick and stupid.

[kcmookie]

Well I am sure we would prefer to kill Bin Laden himself, but his son is a step in the right direction.
