Osama sacrifices 19 grunts and a bit of pocket change. We spend 10 years, two wars, trillions of dollars, thousands of casualties (including tens of thousands of civilian casualties) and our international reputation later, we've finally killed this guy. And we won? This is cause for celebration about as much as killing a rat by burning down your house is cause for celebration.
Okay, Bin Laden was killed; However, Americans celebrating in the streets waving flags and singing songs is pathetic. The images of Americans doing the same thing as Islamic terrorist is equally as pathetic and the President of the United States should address this and discourage such behavior from the American people.
pfft....whatever.
He ordered attacks that killed thousands of Americans. I honestly don't care what a bunch of jihadists think of us.
Is it OK to celebrate a victory that's just as bad as the battle itself? I could understand celebrating when two parties reach an agreement but to celebrate when the other is dead...?
What victory is just as bad as the battle?
When your nemesis is killed that is a reason to celebrate.

Nope. It gives them the message that we are just as bloodthirsty as they are, even though we may not be. Image is everything, don't you know that?
It gives them the message that we will NOT back down or back away or forget.
As for the 'islamic' burial at sea, I hope they really did it the islamic way...by cutting off his head before dumping him.
After all "they bring a knife, we bring a gun" (when necessary).
seriously, what's with the moral equivocating of the two?! "americans look as extremist as islamic terrorists?!" really? You actually think that way, like, in real life?
There is none. Celebrating the death of mass murderers is nothing new. I guess when these people were celebrating in the streets, america was stooping to the level of nazis, huh?
. . .
About that headline of the newspaper in your post about Hitler being killed in battle. I wonder what the real details will be 2 years into the future.

I do, and I'm here to say that OBL won in many ways.
He can claim his 72 virgins then. But, in hell, all 72 are actually whores and they all look like his mother.
