Seems awfully savage.

If we hate muslim extremists so much, why do we act just like them?

I agree with you but Osama has been killed a number of times ya know. LOLOLOL

Coming from a person who lost a dear loved one in the 9/11 attack and who has 2 brothers fighting in the war and one on the way to battle...it has to do with the satisfaction of an ending of pain and fears. If it wasnt meant to be celebrated then our president wouldnt have said a word and our military wouldnt be over there. o please think before u ask such a question! <---it does affect others

Well I hate to say it but they're not losing. Osama bin Laden changed the very fabric of the American existence. He's helped put us on the path to police state and made it patriotic to do so. He's cost us billions, nay, trillions of dollars. We're now engaged in two full scale wars, and a "humanitarian" mission in Libya. OBL helped bring us the "Patriot" Act, FISA, Gitmo, the TSA body scanners and strip searches.

Americans are humiliated and treated as criminals and terror suspects by our own government, talk about letting the terrorists win! Everyday American servicemen die in wars that well never end. Nothing can be good enough to satisfy the military-industrial complex.
Just in case you may have forgotten the goal is to rid the world (aka planet) of these monsters masquerading as religious fringe. They are vermin. Once they are exterminated we can relax and be free(er).

Thats' the goal. It is clearly faulted the pat downs the crap we now endure......hey when the barbarians from hitlers creep came to England people saved apple cores.

Its a very rough world. The Goal is to be free. Try to keep some perspective. It's a tough time no doubt and fascism is possible here too....call it out, name it, stand tall and be free.

The chief monster is under the waves. Rock on.

Oswald was a real life Manchurian Candidate. Also, too much conspiracy theory over the assassination.

This is the first I've heard of it. No reaction at all. How could it possibly help us, when untold numbers of people just like him are hiking across our Southern Border, disguised as Mexicans, and when Sleeper Cells of people just like him are forming all over the nation.... And when their 'card' seems to trump all other cards... the 'Feminist Card', the 'Environment Card'....even the 'Black Card'.

So I can start flying 'commercial' again? My children suddenly have a future again? Hundreds of thousands of 'Asylum Seekers' will be returning home now (and will no longer be supported by American Taxpayers)? Somalians and Ethiopians and Sudanese can leave their lives of deprivation in horrible Minneapolis, and rush back to their 'war-torn countries' to help rebuild, as I know they're just yearning to do? Western Civilization is saved?

Non!; Nein!; Нет!(Nyet!); Ingen!; 不是 (!!!); NO!

So what will have changed? ! בופּקיס (bupkes!...nothing!)

Yeah, then his former employer made sure the disgruntled employee didn't get a trial and quickly threw body in the sea so that he couldn't tell the world the real story about the relationship between himself and his employer.

Actually, it wasn't just Osama that was killed by Navy seals. Osama's son and a woman he used as a human shield were killed as well.

And yeah, it looks awfully similar to me.
