Osama bin laden dead

[Aikman_TheGreat]

This board has really depressed me. Instead of taking just a few hours to celebrate, it is just a bunch of "Debbie Downers" saying stuff like it's not a big deal and nothing changes, and then trying to play more politics. Take one night to celebrate as one nation instead of pushing your agenda. Come on people.

God bless our troops and God less America.

Awesome job Navy Seals & the entire U.S. military. You mess with the best, you'll die like the rest !

Bring the Troops home in the Morning !

I agree, if they want to kill someone let it be themselves. Pleased to hear of obl is dead. But remember when they struck the towers they were laughing and dancing in arab countries. shall we stoop that low.obl is not worth a dance in my opinion. Let our dead lie in peace and bring the reat home before more are dead.

bunch of Debbie Downers? its people being realistic. What exactly is his death going to do? No soldiers will be coming home because of it, terrorism as a whole will not be deterred at all. The military killed the #1 face on terror, just means the next guy in line will take over plans for the next attack

First thing is there is still a ton of work to do. You don't see the government dancing around and a parade planned for Obama. There are a ton of terrorists in that area still that need to be taken care of they don't turn into the next Bin Laden. The country's goal has been to defeat Al-Quaeda but this is just a small victory. You don't think Bin Laden knew he would be dead sometime soon? There is someone new in charge every time we kill one of their leaders.

Secondly, on the news someone called in because their son was killed in Iraq years ago. That person was praising former President Bush on the how good he did to kill Bin Laden. Nothing to Obama.

But I don't care as the praise should go to neither of them. All the praise should go towards all of those who got the information to the person who took the final shot to kill Bin Laden. All Bush did was start the attack and all Obama did was approve the mission inside Pakistan. Should we thank the hijackers for making us go over there too? No, thank your military and the people overseas doing the hard work.

Will some more troops be brought home? Probably a little bit, but not as much as everyone thinks. You love Bush for sending troops there, and hate Obama for not bringing them home. And some will stay as there is more work to be done. These next few months will be harder then recent months as the martyrdom effect will cause the terrorists to fight harder. If you want them to come home that bad, do your part in showing your displeasure. Not sitting at a computer typing on a message board but write to your Congressperson, get petitions, and make phone calls.

Personally, in this case, I will let the President make the call. The President has all the information on what is going on over there, we all have no idea.

Okay, I'm off my pedestal.

And as I've told others, I don't wish death upon anyone, but some people don't deserve the life they were given. (OBL)

I bet Bin Laden regrets allowing his iPhone app to "use his current location".

Things aren't over, and I really dont think they ever will be. Terrorism will always be a part of our lives. This is a big victory and should be seen as such, and an even bigger moral vicotry for America, especially those personally affected by the 9/11 attacks.

I also dont think it'll be easy for "the next guy in line" to take control, there will be chaos within Al Qaeda for awhile, just not sure how long.

This is a big deal, whether you think so or not. It's not the end of course, but it is a happy moment. The most wanted man since Hitler has been killed, and the head of Al Qaeda. While it doesnt bring the troops home, or the lives lost on 9/11, other acts of terror that Bin Laden has had his hand in, or the soldiers from the war, at least SOME kind of justice has been brought.

This is one of the best posts that I read on this topic so far. Also regardless of our political and war beliefs we need to stop and remember how all of this mess started back on 9-11-01 and stop to have a moment of silence and prayer for all of the victims.

I agree with all of what you said but this part sums it up best I think.
