Yep, the President just made the formal announcement on all the news channels. He's dead, and they've 'taken custody' of his body...which they'll need to prove to his followers that the reports are simply propaganda.

And here I thought he committed suicide because he wasn't invited to William and Kates wedding.

In a way it is a relief and I am glad to hear that the Navy Seals had a part in it being a Navy vet myself. But in another way I ask myself will this really change anything? I hope so, if he was really the leader he was purported to be and if he did not have any lieutenants to take his place then it is so. I have heard a saying that I will misquote, it goes something like this 'power loves a vacuum' or something like that. If there is anyone capable and able to fill the void left by his death then it will happen. For the time being though............................................ .......HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, may he burn in Hell for his crimes against humanity.

I think the symbolism is important, even if there are other extremists that will take leadership roles. He's not untouchable, nor will be any leaders that come after him. I too am very proud of our Military. Today will be a day of celebration

I was depressed last night so I called Lifeline. Got a call center in Pakistan. I told them I was suicidal. They got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck.

Regardless of what the future brings, today is clearly a day for celebrating the demise of this bastard.

Huge kudos to the U.S. military in general and the Navy Seals in particular. I cannot thank God enough that there are people willing to sacrifice their lives every day to defend our freedom. THANK YOU ALL!!!

It makes me wonder. They said he's dead but did you see his body? How do we know its him? It could be a body double for all we know.

I tend to be a bit skeptical as well, the birth cert. that was posted on the Whitehouse website was clearly altered and then this comes out so closely after and then they bury him at sea? He could have been dead for a year for all we know... I just don't trust the gov't...

Either way, thankfully he is gone and can't cause pain for anyone else!

exactly my thoughts. Hes killed and then buried at sea immediately? thats bull if I ever heard it. Public enemy number one is caught and killed and not one single photograph is taken? I want to believe it but its just too good to be true. they say they have his DNA to prove it. But what are they comparing the dna too? a previous sample? did we really have osama bin ladens dna on hand?

Wouldn't have helped. The fanatics would say it was a body double.....after the CIA has all the plastic surgeons on hand just like James Bond's enemies did.

I am sure they have pictures and DNA. They probably also have finger prints, x-rays, dental patters, iris prints, and other things I can't think of to substantiate he is dead.

Even though he would already be dead (would be more fun if he were alive) I would have preferred to eviscerate him rather then give him a proper muslim burial.

It won't end terrorism but it does send the message that we can hunt you down and kill you no matter where you hide and right under their noses as well.

no problem, we'll just ask Donald Trump to ask for his Birth Certificate!!!!

Seriously, though, in a world where people still think 9.11 was an inside job, there is no doubt in my mind other than that we will be hearing conspiracy theories about this for a long time coming.

Which is sad.

I was watching CNN earlier this evening and it was mentioned that the bullet wound to face "wasn't that bad" (gruesome), and thus there was speculation that the photos might (accidentally?) become public at some point. I'd imagine that we'll see them in the immediate future.

Supposedly his sister died in the US of brain cancer and the CIA took some brain tissue as a DNA exemplar. My guess is he was dead already and we just found him decomposed and all which wouldn't be a very good story for our gov't. Just not as glorious as saying that we hunted and killed him? My $0.02...

I think it's kind of odd also, we kill him then he's buried at sea like in a matter of hours?? I don't trust the higher up's either. Wouldn't be the first thing they've lied about. Jamesbo.... that's great, lol!

He's obviously dead, regardless. Trust me, if he was not, Osama would be getting out a new video ASAP to make the administration look more like butt munches than they already do.
