I am hearing from multiple sources that Osama Bin Laden is dead. Not sure what to make of this yet. President Obama is expected to address the nation shortly - not sure if it is on this topic or not - rumor has it he died of wounds from an explosion.

EDIT: Ninja'd - go ahead and lock this one.

The USA is probably going into super high alert now to make sure no retaliation occurs.

Read the Hellstorm part.

Think something we should be concerned about?

The American people are probably thinking "now what?" when it comes to the war on terror.

Also, Obama's as good as elected in 2012

[up][up]That... doesn't sound good.

Hopefully, they're just bluffing.

Hopefully.

Do they have his body?

Oh Shit. If Pakistan knew OBL was there and did nothing, and Al-Queda nukes somebody, Pakistan has violated the Bush doctrine and we may be in war #4.

Leads to a bit of Fridge Logic, why not launch them anyway before bin Laden was killed? Really.

[up][up]Yes. They confirmed the kill by getting a DNA sample and from what I heard.

That was literally one of the first thoughts that came to my mind when I heard.

Waiting for a live stream of the President's speech.

Also have to agree, Obama is good as elected after this if it's true.

Kanaya, it's hard. Being a kid growing up. It's hard and no one understands.

Our military goes on high alert.

Not much else, other than alot of happiness from the people.

Oh god Obama said "I approved" and "at my discretion"

The right wing probably just imploded.

Speaking of which, some guy named Usama is dead too, according to Fox News.

Hey, man, that could have been for some other reasons!

But, yeah, wow. I really wasn't expecting that. I couldn't imagine anybody was. It's sort of awing. Not empowering or maybe even inspiring or anything, just sort of a lot to take in.

The far left is going to preach even more about leaving the U.S' various Middle East wars.

I fear that Pakistan will be invaded by the United States.

Also, Bin Laden is proof that we should be careful on who we back in Libya.
