I was thinking the same thing! Looks like a dump, not a mansion...

It seems pretty obvious you live in the U.S., not Pakistan, or any other part of the world for that matter. This is an enviable home for most of the world.

Thats right...this is an upgrade from a CAVE!

That place is a mansion when most of the residence live in mud huts, no running water and heat their rooms with camel @!$%#. Again I think the pakistani intelligence community SUCKS.

Thank you Skyrocket for clearing that up I can't believe some peoples response worried about the diggs and not the subject at hand..... Remarkable........ United we STAND!!!!!

what about not having Television or phone I wonder what the satelite was used for, that has me puzzeled

i am sitting at my computer this morning; it is just past 7 AM in California (north of LA about 100 miles). LA's Fox station is carrying out interviews with a few people having breakfast in Santa Monica. Each person uses the word "we" with regard to how OBL was killed by the military. My first thoughts are just how many of these people being interviewed have served in the military or how many of their immediate family members have (or currently serve).

Given their obvious ethnic background, will go way out on a limb and say NONE have served and NONE of their family served or currently serve.

These people stuff their faces with food that someone has served them and receive protection from the military BUT none serve others. F-them.

DITTO Michael Boyd. Most of the people running their mouths and giving Obama credit once again where credit is not deserved, have no more a clue about our military operations then the President they are giving kiddos to. I am sure without a doubt that we knew where OBL has been but killing him would cause the "wanna bes" to come out in the 100's wanting to take his place. Keeping him alive was the smart thing to do. BUT Obamas greed for re-election may have caused him to give the order to kill OBL making Obama look like a hero. I am afraid that may have opened Pandoras box and the worst is yet to happen.

Keeping Osama alive was not the right thing to do, KAW1954. Why should this ba*stard be allowed to live, when he is responsible for killing so many? I just hope that he suffered a lot before he died. He didn't deserve a quick death. Keeping him alive would only have made a martyr out of him, and made a target out of where ever they put him. Congratulations to our Navy Seals for taking him out. I hope this sends the message to all the other terrorist cells. No matter where you are or how long it takes, your days are numbered.

No doubt, but for Pakistan, that's a mansion. C band satelitte TV too, not bad.

"A MANSION is a Mansion", no matter what country it is in.

"A RAT-HOLE DIVE is a Rat-Hole Dive" no matter what country it is in.

That "so-called Mansion" in Pakistan, at best, appears to be a "large rat-hole dive".

Michael Boyd,

I served in the military and my daughter currently is a Captain in the Army. Speaking on behalf of both of us. (I served in the Gulf War and she has 2 Back to Backs in Iraq) This is why we serve so the American people can say WE!! Have you served?

Boyd... so the teachers who school your children, the doctors who heal us, the workers who pave your roads, the farmers who grow your food, the firefighters and police officers who protect us, and on and one... are worthless and have no right to participate in the celebration simply because they themselves haven't served in the military? You are aware that some people's lives led them to serve their communities in different ways and with no less honor? You're a military snob and that kind of attitude is a poor reflection on the armed forces. Shame on you.

P.S., If you saw my father sitting at restaurant in Irvine, enjoying breakfast, you'd classify him as a white elitist snob, too. He's a retired army officer who served for 20 years. Don't stereotype people in any direction... it's ugly.

Michael Boyd - until our military is volunteer, as in they arent being paid to do a job...then its a COLLECTIVE WE that accomplished this. I suspect those navy seals wouldnt be working for free, nor would they have succeed if WE collectively didnt invest in technologies to assist in this capture/killing.

Im sorry your perspective is so skewed up your arse that you cant understand that one individual doesnt make a mission accomplished.

But perhaps your mentality isnt too far from the CEO's thinking its their work alone that makes their company successful, when in fact its in large part to all the "little people" working under them.

It's interesting your thoughts about Bin Ladens killing spurring more terrorism...I felt the same way about detouring into Iraq, and making Afghanistan a war about the taliban, not about those who specifically attacked us. We already created the massive ranks of terrorists by making this a bigger battle than it ever should have been.

Perhaps we should have just let Afghanistan hand over Bin Laden to "independent" tribunals in the first place...and this all would have been avoided. Thank your hero Bush for that move.

So my decision to join the military, made of my own free will and accord, is NOT voluntary because I accept a paycheck for my service? [No standing army or militia serves for free in the history of the world, not even the ones you refer to as they receive funding for their needs and services] And the fact that I knowingly accepted the restrictions and rules associated with military service at the time I raised my right hand and voluntarily gave my oath of office makes me less of a volunteer than a bunch of islamic extremist radical mass murderers waging a WAR on all things non-muslim? you ignorant or what?

Who gave you the right to condemn me or my brothers and sisters in arms? (that would be a rhetorical question) "We" did and you should be careful who you go around insulting. I have a couple of responses to your diatribe, if you even care.

First, if you never took the risk of serving in the military or police or fire department or first responder corps -- don't talk to me and my colleagues as if you have the privilege of using the term we. [Mari Pearson thank you for your service but I disagree with you on this] "We" in this case is a group with certain pre-requisites for membership and (yes, most of us discriminate on the basis of one's service and perspectives) I'm pretty sure you and those like you would not qualify. Besides, "We" did NOT do it. A bunch of hard-ass CIA covert ops types, soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen did this little assignment with little help from the majority of our supposed citizens. More than 50% of whom do not pay income tax and/or do not even vote. The pointy end of this spear, those hard-ass SEALS - THEY did it. And I am damn proud of them...every one of them and those that worked so hard to put them there. I am a career soldier but neither I or any one I know will be taking any credit for their bravery and success. So you can pipe down on the 'we' stuff and worry about how to redistribute a company's earnings to the little people who neither took the risk to start it or the risks to grow it and keep it open and operating. Great risk = great reward. Another un-American concept in your text. See next......

Little people in a factory did not build the factory or the company. They accepted their jobs at the going rate like everyone else. The vision, the risk, the planning and execution for any successful company is usually accomplished by a very small group of individuals who accepted all the risks and therefore should reap the major portion of the successes. True - workers help get the job done, but who gave the worker the job? This is not an egg or chicken scenario. The jobs come after the company is created and that is almost NEVER EVER done by a bunch of "little people" who are just complaining about how come they do not get paid more. If they want more, then get off the assembly line and go out and start their own company like so many do here in the US of A. It is fair to keep most of what you earn and those who build something should get the lionshare. It is called the American Dream and it works here like no where else in the world. It is almost unheard everywhere else in the world for the little people to ever get ahead, but it happens in the USA all the time...of, course you seem to be ignorant of that fact, but let me share 30+ plus years of global experience with you, for free...you would not believe how good you have it here and if you do then you would not be saying such stupid things. Redistribution of wealth is NOT why I served. I am not rich but here I could be, unlike most other places in the world. We are truly the beacon on the hill for most of the world..and that is for a reason. You should ask yourself what that reason is....go on ask. If you want proof of what I'm saying then look up the illegal immigrant numbers for the last 50 years.....staggeringly big number and that is just the ones we know about. SO if we are so bad why are they coming here like moths to a flame.

I'm career volunteer military and you have no rights except those that I and thousands of others before and after me have been and are willing to die for you to have. No brag. Just fact. Remember that little fact when you go after the military budgets and slam our all volunteer force. Without us in the military, the US becomes a third world slum very very fast.

We did not create islamic terrorism, we stood up to it under Bush. Way too late in my opinion but he did it after 911 even though Clinton had multiple opportunities in the 1992-2000 timeframe. Any religion, I repeat, any religion that advocates the elimination of ALL other religions and faiths is NOT a peaceful and loving religion. But I digress. If the Michael Boyd's of the world are tired of people claiming credit for things they have no idea about, then he the right to say so for the same reasons you do.

Sincerely,

"Someone who has been in the arena, who knows the taste of blood, sweat, and tears and concedes nothing to those that would deny me or mine the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and who still stands by my oath to defend against all enemies...foreign and domestic."

Michael Boyd - I don't understand your 'obvious ethnic background' reference. In the US Army there is no ethnic background that is not represented aplenty. Since I did not see what you saw I also don't know what would have been so 'obvious.' White? Lots of white people in the military. Black? Ditto. Hispanic, Asian, Pacific Islander, Arabic, Native American? Lots of all of those, too. Please do clarify.

Hey Jessica, I am a Marine that served 3 tours of combat in that hell hole and was wounded and broke my back in 3 places. I have served with a lot of good Americans as well as other nationalities to see that this bastard was brought to justice (which I believe was accomplished yesterday)! None of these fine soldiers and Marines ever sign up for the "money"! Just the thought is quite comical, since I know Marines in combat right now with a wife and children at home that actually qualify for food stamps! We serve to protect our country and fellow Americans not for monetary gains. This is a concept which in no doubt eludes you. Yes the military needs civillian help, but without the men and women who proudly put their lives in harms way for you, those civillian jobs would be pointless. I would suspect that you have never done anything in your life that put others ahead of yourself. This is what we do, everyday! And yes, it is insulting to those of "us" who have given so much hear some self-serving bueracrat say that "we" did this! It is easy to armchair quarterback past decisions of our leaders, but you need to ask yourself..."what have I ever done for my country that gives me so much?" My guess is...not a damn thing! I have lost 14 GOOD friends since the attacks on 9/11 and was almost killed myself, and believe me that they didnt want to die for you but they damn sure did! They did "volunteer" to put themselves in harms way so YOU would not have to! So, dont disgrace their memories with lumping them into "we", when you apparently are not even in the same "class" as these true American hero's.

WHHHHAAAAAA! cry about it you little baby

eye caramba! some very strange thinking here! wow the Left stands out like a sore thumb!, hmm left?...hmm right?... ahhh center is good... just like Goldilocks sorta???

At Luke and Boyd. STFU! You're both being dumb as @!$%#.

I respect you for serving our country. Don't get me wrong, but to act like serving is the ONLY thing that gets anyone anywhere in this country is ridiculous. The point Jessica is making is that there are plenty of things other people do in this country that have meaning as well. What would you do if no one made that gun you shoot with? Or if no one taught people how to speak English? Or if no one taught people math so they could properly measure the uniform you wore? or if no one prepared the food you eat? Or if no one grew and harvested the food you eat? Or if no engineers built that plane or helicopter you flew in to get to that "hell hole"? Or if no one paid TAX DOLLARS to help pay for your service? WTF would you do? Yes, you and Boyd play a huge role in America's safety, but there are plenty of people who also played a role in you being able to serve in that way so in that way it is PROPER to say "WE". So, ask yourself, are those "civilian" jobs really all that pointless? Could you do all of that on your own? No? I didn't think so.

And... You don't do it for money? Bull@!$%#. The way you and Boyd talk, you certainly don't do it out of the love of your heart. So stop acting like that. It's clear if you indeed didn't do it for the money, you did it for SELF GLORIFICATION. Otherwise hearing people say "we" wouldn't bother you. The proper thing to do is take PRIDE in having served to allow everyone to say "we".

Also, what does "Americans and other nationalities" mean? Are you calling white people Americans and Asians, Hispanics, Blacks, etc other nationalities? 'Cuz if you are, you're really misinformed and it kind of takes away from your entire post. Just cuz you're another "nationality" doesn't mean you're not American. There's Japanese-Americans, Mexican-Americans, African-Americans, and on and on. Lol.

Please, I ask you and Boyd to open your self-centered eyes and realize that WE did do this TOGETHER. Yea, ok, you did the most dangerous part of the job as a whole, but EVERYONE in the nation has helped you along the way.

To all those here that it applies to;

wow you had your "ANSWER" before you objectively thought about the question??? We all see what we want to see... We arrogantly view ourselves as Intelligent beings and that is obviously wrong to think that!, are there some semblance of Intelligence among us? "Yes" with a "But"... it is a rare trait that is mixed with a majority of emotion and superstitions. That is what humans are!

We are evolving and learning, but we are far from being done! In fact we are in the primal stages! and have a long journey ahead of us "If" we don't kill ourselves on the way! because of our "Impatience!". I read each and every one of the postings here and they are no different from other Internet postings, The abundance of primitive emotional non-logical thinking and reactions is clear! No one here is striving for the betterment of themselves or others, it is only for standing on a Soapbox and shouting in order to control another or All! There is a incredible amount of information about human history at our fingertips every time we sit in front of our computers, and for the most part the amount of information that an average person actually has in them?? Well it embarrassing! Most if not all here probably waste their time on Facebook or other such sites, I have yet to see a collective striving to figure out a better way of dealing with a particular problem? I have never seen it and I think I never will!

All we do collectively here is to put down or insult and make things worse! To Understand is never our main point? even if something is wrong you should at least try to understand it? But instead we will mindlessly post stupid irrelevant things just to feed our own Ego's!

There might be one comment to what I have posted here that might come close to the subject I am identifying? but it is unlikely! But if it ever occurs it might just cause an aneurysm!

To Low IQ.. Your username is right.. u have low IQ. You come here talking about people on a soapbox? How hypocritical.. WTF do you think you just did? LMAO. You are EVERYTHING you described in your post. And I could barely get through what you wrote with all of the unnecessary italics and bolding, not to mention all of the horrendous spelling and grammatical errors. It's pretty clear your post is as u said about "stupid irrelevant things just to feed (your) own Ego".

You SuckITTTT Idiot! your the reason why they invented Abortion!, I could only imagine the long line of genetically defective ass-wipes you come from!

now that we got the childish insults out....I am typing this from my phone You ASS! excuse me... I mean JACKASS!...your username is right? what are you a 12 year old mental midget!...If I were you? I would punch my mother in the face for having such a useless mental retard!

Now does that make you feel better I tried talking to you in the language you can only understand... without realizing you just affirmed what I was saying!!!, for that I can only thank you because a bad example still serves as a good example.

of all the things I wrote? that is the best your mind could get from it? How Sad for you?

SuckITTTT is one of those Trolls, you know what they say, don't feed the trolls. its all they have. but I do like the insult you gave the kid, its funny, but these types feed on that, I bet you he will respond with more troll stuff, its what they do. you are right in that most of who put their thoughts here don't put anything worth a Sh&t, just like their lives, I just ignore them unless I want to be entertained. is that what your doing.

and besides, Osama bin Laden's per AP's reportings was watching Bart on an episode of the Simpsons and munching on pork chops as he should.

LMAO. This @!$%# is too funny. I knew I'd come back on here and have a GREAT laugh. Seriously? LowIQ you come here talking about people speaking from emotion? Well, I must've really struck a nerve with you cuz you had a serious kneejerk reaction. You sound pretty pissed off, if u ask me. Lol. It's clear you come here trying to feed your ego. Too bad what you say makes about as much sense as "ToStupid".. unfortunately he is TOO stupid to know how to differentiate which too to use. I mean, I'll give him credit.. it is confusing... there's three of them to choose from. =/ And unfortunately you're continuing to prove you'RE just as stupid, being unable to differentiate which you're to use. Fyi for you. "your" is a possessive.. like.. bet your bottom dollar you're a true dumb@$$. The word you're looking for is "you're" which is a conjunctive of you and are.. ie You're a dumb@$$. There's no excuses for that, whether you're on your phone or not. Of course, you're probably gonna say I'm the grammar police or something but there's a difference between TYPOS and simply being a moron and not understanding which is the correct word to use. From everything you've written, it's clear you're the latter. Peace.

You must have an awfully small penis just like your Intelligence! Thank goodness for that at least your gene pool will end short just like your desire to have that itsy bitsy thing you call your wee wee being sucked! How sad for you that you will never erect to be a man!

Idiot boy this is not class where the teacher is grading your spelling? you ASS! this is the Internet where people like you use LMAO as a word you JACKASS don't do as I do do as I say? Really... if your penis matches your balls then you won't have it in you to pursue this BIG MOUTH! Take the Mensa test get your member number# and post your and I will post mine...End of Story...

and you will be added to the long list of LOWIQ idiots who failed to have the Intelligence above a peanut of which is the same size as your tiny teeny penis!! LOL LMAO

come on Troll boy.... lets see if you can go from insect size balls to that of a two year old which will match your brain function!

LMAO. So is this Mensa test the ultimate indicator of intelligence? If you think you're intelligent because you got a high score on an IQ test really proves what you continue to prove over and over again. Your sh!t don't make sense. Lol. I've learned that anyone who ventures an insult against some other man's penis has insecurities about his own small penis so I won't even go there. We all don't need IQ test scores to see what a moron you are. I still don't understand the point of your posts. You get on YOUR soapbox about how people speak from emotions yet that is the exact same thing you have done. If you can prove to me that you aren't exactly what your original post was supposedly opposing, then I'll get on your bandwagon. But it's clear that you are what you described... one who has an "abundance of primitive emotional non-logical thinking and reactions". You're "No(t) one striving for the betterment of (himself) or others, it is only for standing on a Soapbox and shouting in order to control another or All!" and "All YOU do collectively here is put down or insult and make things worse! To Understand is never Your main point? even if something is wrong you should at least try to understand it? But instead we will mindlessly post stupid irrelevant things just to feed our own Ego's!" Is this you? YUP. Prove that you're not, otherwise STFU and GTFO.

I did not post enough about me for you to know anything, and yet just like a troll you did not let me down, so you attacked the user name like if it has meaning other than just a sarcastic name. you seem to be very young or at least mentally immature by your remarks, you are the type that has a new user name every time you enter a blog or chat room to remain anonymous. you are not alone as lowiq indicated, you belong to that special group that lives in basements and talks to themselves to try to have some value in life, always having the false courage to argue with anything or anyone, hence the term troll. it wont matter what anyone says to you in cyberspace because that is your escape from reality, once you go outside you will act differently because no one would put up with someone like you in the real world so you have to put away Mr Hyde and revert back to Dr. Jekyll, lowiq was right in that its sad that so many young people like you exist. like on a Monty Python skit, what a senseless waste of life.

Here is something that might help you (Internet) http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet)

and I'm not a Troll http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdZzysUG1IY&feature=player_embedded

lol. Anyone that has to conclude their post with "and I'm not a Troll" clearly is a troll.

I know you are but what am I?, "I am rubber, you are glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you" You idiot! you get baited every time and you fall for it!, you could end it by say something Intelligent? but you cant do what your genetically incapable of. So you whip out that little penis mind of yours and respond like a 12 year old! how sad for you to be that pathetic!

Suck ITTTT member since yesterday! LMAO!! before that you were ISuckMore but only for a day! what a Troll! is anyone sad for you crying yourself to sleep!

one more and I get a pint!

suck kid how old are you, well you wont tell the truth so all I can do is estimate from what you post.

I guess you are 10 to 17, hopefully no higher than 20, because that really would be sad for you.

wait my nephew is 10 and he is much smarter than you so let me revise it to 8 to 15 years old, so what is it.

I'm the 12 year old? My posts aren't about using words like jackass and talking about irrelevant content, that's your venue. This is done. It's been done since your nonsensical original post. You're a moron and your username is befitting to you. Have a nice life and hopefully you find a girl who can put up with your stupidity and your pu$sy.

Talk about trolling, TOOstupid. LOL

2 stupid he has to be no more than 15?? sorry don't mean to say it that way? ToStupidToKnowBetter I like your user name. Do you have yours just like I do because of the idiots?

Can we get back to talking about how some dumb soldier got his panties in a bunch because someone on TV said "we" did it?

suck boy if I found a girl that would mean I was a lesbian, did you not know I was a girl. your just like all the young boys here, nasty until we meet then you will be under my stiletto. if you had acted smart and not so nasty, but that just you.

I got my Newcastle Brown Ale!!

I got my Newcastle Brown Ale!!

I got my Newcastle Brown Ale!!

Everyone here at the Pub bet me Suck boy could not go more than two but...he went for the BIG SEVEN!!!

I told you I had one more for a pint!

I got my Newcastle Brown Ale!!

I got my Newcastle Brown Ale!!

I got my Newcastle Brown Ale!! ok now I am bored...

Stupid...

Do you not realize I wasn't talking to you in that post about LowIQ finding a girl? Lol. This just gets better and better.

Figures.. low lifes are at the pub on a Wednesday. Just saying.

ahhh the first thing you said that worthwhile.... "Can we get back to talking about how some dumb soldier got his panties in a bunch because someone on TV said "we" did it?

Everyone is going to have an opinion and a perspective sometimes opposition of another, thats why there soooo much turmoil in the world! some have weak characters, some are insecure, and some are just plain evil... thats Life! nothing anyone can do about it? all we can do is "control our perimeter" as the Marines say! The meaning of life is simple; Be Better Today than yesterday! and if tomorrow comes, then be better still! Life is fragile and short! you have to make the most of each and every moment! People get their Panties in a bunch! ALWAYS! its to be expected! and thats a part of being human! Perception and Perspective is everything! people get upset with every little thing that happens on the News, and what? you cant do anything about it. All you can do is "control your perimeter"......otherwise be ready to invade another's perimeter! and thats for another day...done

by the way he was not dumb, the soldier!, because others always try to take credit for something they have no right too. That is just human nature...sad but true...

yeah that's true everyone here proves it every day. its hard to get any group to agree on anything even if they are of the same type. all you can do is observe and reason out if it makes sense. and that can change as well.

your right in that all you can control is yourself because controlling others is hard to do unless you oppress them, like all the dictators of the world do. in your original statement you said how primitive we all are, and for the most part I agree. and civilized we are not. arogant yes we are and if there are e.t.'s out here observing us I realize why they would not communicate with us, it's like us trying to talk to bacteria, not much will come of it.

Like the soldier has the right to voice his view, everyone is entitled to voice theirs as well.

Suck boy I don't have a penis...and Mesa is not the ultimate test!, you go from one extreme to another? you spend very little time in the middle. I am not your counselor? for that do what everyone else like you does? pay for it! sorry if this is after the fact because this blog is slow and I am noticing post are coming after the fact... weird..

by the way Mesa is just a baseline for future reference...it just a very small sliver of a measurement of I.Q.

and if you chill and relax read what I wrote with an open and non biased mind then you might get something different out of it rather than what you got so far out of it. not everything in life is guaranteeing to be easy for all? sometimes the best things take the most work to understand. but that's up to you?

by the way I will make it easy for you,,, I am a Woman... that fact has been posted before...that's why I picked on the easiest to pick on, a boys weakest link... the size of his penis...takes no effort... and you should learn not to take things personal...I can post some wicked things but I know they are just that...Words...and although it may seem as someone got to me? it is just for entertainment or an 10 pound Ale! a good tasting ale!!! while I am playing darts waiting for my turn...

Relax and don't take things so literal or seriously! that's a turn off, ask any girl or woman as the case may be? I am going home now so bye bye...

Everyone has a right to their opinion, but should only be given after it has been well thought about, I was reading another posting and I tried, I really did try to understand what was trying to be said and when a question was asked. he got his panties in a bunch, and unless you wear panties you don't know what that is like. people are hard to get along with if they are overbearing. that's why you see all the mayhem here.

I stand by everything I have said.. both of you are the pot calling the kettle black. I have taken none of what either of you have said as personal. It's not wicked or mean to attack a man in his "weak" spot.. it's asinine. I could careless about all of that. For a 12 year, yea, that crap would matter. The reason I continued to post is for the simple fact that both of you, LowIQ and ToStupid, as it says above, are the pot calling the kettle black. Both of you are doing everything you're here trying to voice against. And that's the point I kept trying to make. I still feel like you got on your soapbox, LowIQ, and wrote your original post opposing that. From your second to last post, I get what you're saying... people are entitled to feel the way they want and you can't change it so all that should concern you is you. And I feel like you should take a step back and look in the mirror. I'm entitled to feel the way I feel and express the way I feel like anyone else.

As for ToStupid.. you call me a troll? All you have done to me is troll me. Your posts were completely irrelevant to anything anyone was talking about. And you kept coming back over and over again.

So I say, you both are the pot calling the kettle black. Was I wrong to keep going at it? Yes. But so were you. I feel like my arguments were to the contents of both of your posts whereas your arguments were to assumptions you made about who I am and how well endowed I was.

Back to subject at hand. You're right, he's not "dumb" for being angry that some random citizen said "we did it". He is entitled to feel that way. But I disagree with how he feels. So I voiced it. Can I change his mind? No. Maybe. Maybe not. That's up to him. But I can present a flipside of the coin and give him another perspective on the issue. What he chooses to feel after that is up to him.

How sad for you ... you were posting and nobody cared, I would have read it?, but that would be just Stupid!, instead I will have a laugh.... so Sad....

the building looks to be in rough shape - not like a 7 year old building.

im hoping its appearance is explained by the elements, such as sand storms.

"Hide in plain sight," would be the thing I would consider when looking at this compound, the less opulent it appears the less likely anyone would be to pay much attention to it.

I would withhold my judgement until we can see what it looks like inside.

heard you the first time you uptight snob

I wasn't directing my comment at you, erin. I think we were typing at the same time. I'm talking about those people who are attributing this photo to the U.S. gov't. Some shlub in a basement somewhere with photoshop decides to get creative and suddenly we have a conspiracy?! Never mind that two of bin Laden's wives, etc., are now in custody and can be used to demonstrate the veracity of our SEALS who were there and are now having THEIR credibility called into question by those who value their own hate-filled ideology over and above what this means to ALL AMERICANS at such an historic moment ...

I was actually trying to post to a linked story with all kinds of "this is a conspiracy" comments about how the U.S. faked a photo ... these pics loaded and switched the page on me .... still felt good to get that off my chest, though.

i guess if you compare it to the cave he was supposedly living in all this time it is a mansion lol

SpiritDance - More of the Tea-Publican FEAR MONGERING, I would say!

They already have a name....'DEATHERS"..............LOL

Anything but give Obama's admin., any Credit for ANYTHING.

Can't wait to see what they come up with the next few weeks on this............

alan,

The same as all so called spiritual leaders and terrorists who call for someone else to give up their lives for another mere human being. He was simply a human, not heeding his own words, or stated beliefs. Simply looking out for his own creature comforts.

alan - COWARD fits much better. Hides behind women and children, to do GODS work.

Not God's work but Mohammed's flawed revelation of Allah.

Any president who sends soldiers off to die in a war is doing exactly what Bin Laden did - only much worse. In our case, these soldiers volunteer their lives BELIEVING they are defending america and her freedom, but more often than not they are defending the rights of greedy corporations to exploit the newly conquered nation - see Iraq and its oil fields and the US/UK signing a deal with BP BEFORE the invasion...

in Bin Ladens case, he isnt sending anyone to do anything - they are doing it on their own, and its their choice to "answer his call" or not...the soldiers in our army, have no choice - they dont get to say "i morally object to this mission" and obstain from going.

I dont like Bin Laden or anything he stands for, but lets stop pretending we are standing on Morally higher ground. we arent.

@Jessica-1170252 , Did you have an injury or somthing that affected your brain ? How you can put the most wanted , hated person in the world in the same catagory as the Bushes , JFK , FDR etc. I am an American Soldier , 15 yrs and counting 19 delta Recon Scout , US Army. George Bush is a true American Hero for not cowering down to Terrorism , and instead decided to kick it's butt after they killed almost 3000 Americans on September 11th. But I'm sure it was not your family or friends in those buildings or planes. I'm sure it's not your family providing the blanket of freedom that allows you to be such an idiot. We do volunteer to protect this country and when we do we are willing to die for it also. But again , it's probbly not your family or friends that have been in combat. The United States should be standing on Morally higher ground. So the next time you want to exercise your freedom of speech which myself and all other service members provide for you , know what you are talking about or exercise your right to shut the hell up !!!!!

Heathen, your a moron and should be ashamed of yourself for trying to take away a huge victory and a honor like that from the American Forces who have been giving their life for your freedoms.

Heathen Infidel,

Just how evil you are. You are the Christian equivalent of OSAMA, "go away Satan and all the other evil spirits seeking the ruin of souls".

I think (hope) heathen is being sarcastic.

You have got to be kidding! Either that or you are just plain nuts.

Ummmmmmmm, You sound like a Moron! I hope Republicans are not thought of the same just because you want to darken a day we all Celebrate!!!

Heathen, I got to agree with Matt-3406292 on this one. Plus, I am assuming that you are a Muslim? As a general rule I debunk all religious rhetoric as fantasy, but let me tell you some documented facts about your professed prophet (Mohammad) of Islam. He was a demented drug addict who lived in a cave in the desert where he rapped and murdered young children. Mohammad was a lunatic in every sense of the word. Apparently a very effective bu117hit artist and narrator to create a text called the Quran consisting of drug induced ramblings, for you uneducated middle east morons to flop down in the mud and howl at the moon rituals in morning, mid-day and whenever, and your holy text is no better than toilet paper.

excuse my grammar, english is second language for me.

What an ass you are!!! Words cannot describe your stupidity. Go smoke some more crack.

The above post by me was directed at that raging moron heathen.......

Actually I thought Heathen's bit was kind of funny.. I've seen worse :D

Thnaks for proving, you are an idiot Heathen.

Heathen, looks like you caught a lot with that post!

Why the haste to bury at sea???????????? Smelly

Gotta hope what we see is true, but love all the rhetoric

Well Heathen, ya really got'em going. A guy can't have any fun on here.

People like this make your day.

Heathen, that was some trolling.. People hit that like a duck hitting a junebug..

I found it pretty funny, and it makes me wonder if those who didnt are birthers.

Seriously, why hasn't Steve Jobs or Bill Gates developed the sarcasm font yet?

Heathen I like you! Let me take you to my cabin in the woods....don't mind the plastic- I'm having the painters in. Now don't be shy, come on now, that's right, just get in the back of the van like a good little sand monkey and we'll go have some fun! We'll burn some korans and sing happy songs, k?

;oO

beazooner

You sound like a psychopath and I hope the authorities are watching you.

so, how do you know YOUR GOD prevailed over his GOD?

for all you know, he could be eating grapes in heaven surrounded by umpteen virgins...and GOD is saying "oh those stupid americans, good effort Osama, you did your best to rid the world of nonbelievers"...

its just as plausible as GOD sending a massive snowstorm to the east coast to prevent gay people from doing gay things (per Pat Robertson).

Jessica-1170252, you must be a christian hating muslim if you truly believe that garbage you are typing!! wait that makes you a terrorist and an idiot!! I hate idiots!!!!

yes bush did make up the whole weapons of mass destruction thing ---but really obama did publish his birth cert. right away --when he was running for president---did people even ask bush for proof that he was american --i very well doubt it ---smdh raceism still exists--and the "birther" movement is proof of that--why do people think he is not american for??? just wondering

erin, I am not entirely sure, but some states already have some question and demand for proof of citizenship and American birth on the application to be placed on the ballot, and from long long ago.

it just drives me crazy that people are questioning this but no one ever says why they are questioning it,, i think it has to do with him being black honestly,,smh and i remember him publishing his birth cert when he was running for pres because some people said that hawaii wasnt a state yet when he was born so he published it to prove them wrong---cant believe people mmm mmm mm

If you go back and read what you wrote you will see how Obama split this nation down the middle! I am not talking about race either, I am talking about our political beliefs!!!! This nation was created because of taxation without representation! Taxes being used to support illegal Aliens in health care, education, housing, defense for staying in America illegaly, are all what I call taxation without representation!!!! Abortion (the killing of unborn children) Is not what I call reasons to be taxed for, it is just what it is, TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!

@8 BUSH was honest about weapons of mass destruction!!!! Over the years we learned our Military (Men and Women) uncovered many mass graves of men women and children! in Iraq they used mustard gas! What is Mustard gas if not a weapon of mass destruction!?

Dearest Kathy,

Perhapse you should be more concerned with researching facts before speaking. NO FEDERAL FUNDS go towards abortion funding. That is a federal LAW. It's not a talking point and has nothing to do with "taxation with out representation". Obviously, education funding was lost on you.

Kathy, Please do me a favor and go to house bills .gov or some other location that that your not informing your self by watching someone spout their opinions on the TV. Every single item you listed were already laws and on the books before Obama even thought about running for office. As for the planned parenthood "taxing" there has been a law against them using federal funds for abortions for close to 10 years. I am not saying your wrong but please verify your information before you post it. I am always amazed how many times I see something on the news and then look up the facts and find out that I was just fed a line of bull****. As for putting someone in the white house that has been there done that, I think we have only has one president you has left office and then returned, for every other one it has and will be a learning situation.

alan (et al):

1. President Obama's mother was a white American born citizen. Therefore, no matter what, he is a citizen.

2. John McCain was not born on American soil; so, is he too not American?

3. You are a racist. Plain and simple.

When did Bush give us his birth certificate?

Um, Kathy? Lemming? You're the ones splitting the country. But after what I read here today and what some people think is a truth and is a lie and how some people obviously don't understand that they're dealing with a troll? I've lost a lot of faith in people today. It really is a shame that this is the way peoples' heads are screwed on.

Total Agreement!!!!!!!

I know a couple former Navy Seals from different eras. I wouldn't mess with them one bit and if I needed a shirt, they would gladly give and have gave me theirs.

His speach this evening was the Best I have heard and went back to a time I wouild have voted for him because of a speach! We don't have time for him to have on the job training we need someone there who has been there and done that! I for one was wanting Colin Powell and Condeleeza Rice to run!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Obama Admn stepped back and allowed our military to do their job Bushes only problem was when he handed his job as commander in cheif over to our illustrious Congress! LOL @#11

Things have always been the same no matter who holds office. When its Dem all the republicans try to find anything to !@#$% about and when it's Rep all the dems try to find anything and everything to @#$% about. Both parties are full of @$% always looking out for ways to better their beliefs no matter what the people want when it's supposed to all be about what the people want.

As for the Bin Laden thing I wish they would have tied him up in a building and flew a plane right up his A$$

OH ok Kathy, you wanted Condaleeza Rice or Colin Powell to run for president, you must not be a racist! If there was ever a time when you could easily be swayed by a speech then you are nothing more than a sheep who can easily be herded. In fact that is what I think you are, an ignorant individual who repeats what she has heard.

GeorgeBush17 I agree w/what you said about Obama's speech (not speach)... I saw it as contrived, and his best attempt at acting. He always seems to me to come from a place of "Look at me. I'm the president. Let's see have many friends I can treat to an awsome vacation, because I can. Let's not be frugle, and humble about it." The night of the dinner he hosted, was very sensationalized and, I thought, ridiculous.

Agreed #12

Uhm, nimrod.... Obama's decision to respect Muslim tradition prevents the issue of his burial being used toincite more anti-American violence. Only right-wing nutjubs as yourself will find a way to turn anything good into bad to push your failed political idealogies. Adn stop with the "when WE kick..." You are safe at home in your Republican world- safe from the very political problems the Republicans created. You blamed Clinton for 9/11 and now that Bin Laden is caught under another Democrat, you have to find somethig negative there. Americans are dead in Iraq because of Bush lies, gas is 3 times the price it should be because of our former oil-baron president, and we had the worst economic collapse in history under Bush and his policies. Yet, somehow President Obama "sullies" this moment??? Go wash your hands, they're dirty.

asdodge,

While I don't agree with most of opions they're yours so enjoy them. As for the comment about respecting muslim tradition, why would we? They drag the bodies of our soldiers through streets, decapitate, mutilate, hange and burn "non-believers" in public and videotape their atrocities. Where is their respect for others? As muslims supposedly believe in an eye for an eye, we should have dragged his body through New York and made pig food out of him and sent the tape to Al Jazeera.

O YEAH! constantlyamazed!

Constantlyamazed, The point is that we are not animals like the people who do such things. Im sure that you didn't really want Osama dragged through New York because if you did maybe you should pack your bags and move to Pakistan, they offer a lifestyle more suitable to you. Osama Bin Laden was not a representative of the Muslim faith, Hitler was not a representative of Atheism, Bernie Madoff was not a representative of Judaism, Timothy Mcvei was not a representative of Christianity. We dumped his body out to sea, I think that that is the best way we could have disposed of his body in an attempt to prevent any sort of Martyrdom from heading in his direction.

Goerge Bush 17 - I believe you understood my comment. I guess I should have drawn some diagrams for others. My point was that as a supposed muslim, like any extemist, OBL respected no one or their beliefs if they did not match his own. A rush to honor his supposed beliefs in light of his and other muslim extremists actions (mutilation ect.) was wrong in my opinion. I only indicated what would happen if the shoe were on the other foot. Imagine if by some stretch they assasinated Obama and had his remains. Can you imagine a proper Christian burial taking place? Even an anonymous grave? We are different, and more civilized, but we shouldn't show any respect to terrorists. It won't make any difference in the eyes of his followers and I don't believe it earned us any respect in the world. Put his picture up there with Sadam and his boys so that those that need or want to see it can. Personally if the seals say he's dead, I'm good with that. All this pandering did was left a lot of room for conspiracy nuts to push their beliefs. Soon, Elvis and Osama will be spotted eating donuts and playing with Bigfoot.

Sully you are so far off it's comical. The US military is under the complete control of the President. He can order them to release anything he wants. In an, after the fact matter, the US Congress can subpoena any information, they have, as well. The USA is not a Military dictatorship. The people still run it. The military doesn't control "anything" the people do. They have "O" ability to control "Anything" in the USA, off there bases, without the authorization of an elected approval. It's called the Constitution. What is unfortunate is nothing is going to satisfy a group of people, anyway. Illinois native here, Grew up with people wanting Ab Lincoln dug up to prove he was there. base was the story that a group of individuals tried to steal his body an use it for ransom, when he got to the tomb site. That part was true, arrest and convictions, but never got close to doing it. As a result it was moved, casket open for numerous people, to confirm, and buried under tons of reinforced concrete. 100 years later and it is still going on. Hitler speculation. Why? He'd be dead by now anyway. I just hope, someone sees to it, Trump, gets a certified copy of the Death Certificate. I do wish he was taken up the height of the trade towers, over the ocean, stripped, and tossed out like garbage to be shark food. The same kind of concern he had for the children and mental dead who did his dirty work for him. What goes round-comes around.

Charley, I was not aware that "JIM" had the power to speak for all America(ns). The Military does not have to answer at this point for anything, since our President has taken that responsibility onto his own shoulders. The Seals were following his direct, and admitted, orders, there need be no further conversation about that.

Osama bin lauden is fish food all religious customs were followed, and likely recorded as well as the capture and subsequent death of that murderer. So be it and good riddance. Good work Pres. Obama and great job very well done by our Navy Seals. May God bless you all.

Yes, a Christian president, so affiliated with the Muslim radicals that he gave an order to kill their leader. Seems very likely, on your planet.

The reason Obama is trying not to disrespect Muslims is because of the implications to foreign relations.

Maverick83702 (et al): You do not know the meaning of civility. President Obama was speaking to the world! Not just the muslim extremists. I am sure the muslim extremists know that he is not a muslim, not in support of their cause, and speaks softly while carrying a big stick. You are a bully.

Maverick, you should vote for Donald Trump or Sarah Palin, they seem to be the kind of intellectuals who you believe should run this country. If you succeed, I might as well move to Pakistan...

I heard that Sarah could see Abbottabad from her front yard...

Nancy4366 It was a Gitmo Detainee who gave the hints to the Military about his where-abouts. Since Obama gave up the ghost of closing Gitmo The American military have been able to do their jobs. FINALLY!!!!!

Kathy where did you read it was Gitmo Detainee. I have read alot and listened. All I got was a detainee, I am pretty sre we have detained others in the almost 10 years since the attack. Are you positive that we did not detain someone in lets say the last 6 months, such as one of the curriers.

Rumsfeld.

Here is more about the Gitmo connection: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/pakistan/8488436/WikiLeaks-Osama-bin-Laden-killed-after-tip-offs-from-Guantanamo.html

So as we can see it was Bush's use of Gitmo and Obama's OKing of the strike that was Bin Laden's downfall. Nothing partisan here to chew on unless you're willing to be a mindless gimp.

Right on Realist!

Realist you are not being realistic. The quickest way to the truth is to think about motivation, who stood to gain the most. Facts are we did not have good enough intelligence to go to war but for...........OIL! FACT FACT FACT! I'm not saying it was the wrong thing to do, morally it was, but REALISTICALLY it is what we had to do. Its better that we have secure oil for our future so we can continue living the lives that we have become accustomed to than China, Iraq, Iran, Russia etc. etc.

But the "junk yard dogs" had just 2 legs in this case. The real meaning of gun control, hitting what your aiming at, in it's finest hour. Our nation thanks all who had a hand in this. They should split the 25 million award, offered for him, up with those commando's.

Remember...he is not a man, but a monster....9/11 was one of many atrocities he commited. So I feel no shame for his death, the manner in which he died. However, I question the Burial at sea.....he should have been brought back to the U.S. and examined for real proof and identity by those who can vouch for his identity....Muslim customs for burial should be provided for a NORMAL person/human...but not for a monster....

Then bury him at sea..

They can't stretch a man to 6'5" that easily! so there goes the plastic surgery !

I'm not agreeing with the plastic surgery thing KATHY But think about this all those idiots who would strap a bomb on themselves for this moron what makes you think that there isn't a few 6'5 idiots in that area that wouldn't go under the knife for the same moron. Not probable but not impossible either.

What mansion? The guy was found in an oddly built building in some village in Pakistan that looks more like a drug addict squat without a building permit.

And your conspiracy theories are astoundingly out there! What are the chances a poor ideologically driven guy in Pakistan will get plastic surgery in a nation where plastic surgeons are rare and put in a house nowhere near the fighting zone where not too many people see him, to confuse Americans. Admittedly though that is excellent imagination, but makes someone wonder, do you know something about Al-Qaeda that we don't?

They have the proof of the death, there is absolutely NO reason to doubt it's authenticity unless for some sick ideological reason we refuse to believe good news when our enemies bring it to us.

Like Seth Meyers said: Seems like we've reached a point where we don't believe things that didin't happen in front of us.

Bunch of paranoid freaks.

It takes very little human tissue not a whole body to use DNA for identification purposes. So preserving some is really not an issue and very likely has already been done. His body is no longer available to anyone who might wish to make a shrine of it.
