Osama Bin Laden is dead!

[Corina]

I still love Deschanel.

[Drico One]

Oh, so do I. And Glenn.

I think we all drive each other around the bend here, sometimes, but when you go to the same pub every night, it's hardly surprising that we occasionally take the pool cue to each other. It might be best to use it as a blunt instrument, though, rather than as an orifice-exploring impaling spike...

Drico.

[Deschanel]

Steve, and Drico, I apologize for the profanity and overbearing strenuousness there. Pani too. No, not a particularly good night D. Yes, I had been drinking, same pub is right I guess. Not proud of that outburst, though I stand by the essence. I'm sorry for the disruption, and the bit of disrespect I showed. I own that. Sorry. Love to you all, too.

[StevePSB]

Good man.

Deschanel is right, Glenn certainly does not represent America and all that. But personally, I'm a liberal who thinks Obama is overall a great president, but I take issue on some of the Bin Laden stuff. Unfortunately, Americans often are total idiots. See: 2004 Presidential election. That's all.

[York Minster]

Was bin Laden even responsible for 9/11? Was al quida?

[Corina]

Was bin Laden even responsible for 9/11? Was al quida?

Finally someone has posed the right question!

[Pani]

Poor Pani crying about bin Laden, who died far more peacefully that 3,000 other dying violently ...

There's still something called the UN carta. I don't hate you, and I'm not
'anti-american' just because I dare to criticize something, let's call it the
'cowboy mentality'.

Pani, It's too late.... According to Americans You are a potential terrorist. And you are very dangerous. A few days later They will add your photo to FBI's most wanted list... You hadn't to criticize Americans..

NO COMMENT

"Noam Chomsky: My Reaction to Osama bin Laden’s Death," :

It’s increasingly clear that the operation was a planned assassination, multiply violating elementary norms of international law. There appears to have been no attempt to apprehend the unarmed victim, as presumably could have been done by 80 commandos facing virtually no opposition—except, they claim, from his wife, who lunged towards them. In societies that profess some respect for law, suspects are apprehended and brought to fair trial. I stress “suspects.” In April 2002, the head of the FBI, Robert Mueller, informed the press that after the most intensive investigation in history, the FBI could say no more than that it “believed” that the plot was hatched in Afghanistan, though implemented in the UAE and Germany. What they only believed in April 2002, they obviously didn’t know 8 months earlier, when Washington dismissed tentative offers by the Taliban (how serious, we do not know, because they were instantly dismissed) to extradite bin Laden if they were presented with evidence—which, as we soon learned, Washington didn’t have. Thus Obama was simply lying when he said, in his White House statement, that “we quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda.”
Nothing serious has been provided since. There is much talk of bin Laden’s “confession,” but that is rather like my confession that I won the Boston Marathon. He boasted of what he regarded as a great achievement. [...]

We might ask ourselves how we would be reacting if Iraqi commandos landed at George W. Bush’s compound, assassinated him, and dumped his body in the Atlantic. Uncontroversially, his crimes vastly exceed bin Laden’s, and he is not a “suspect” but uncontroversially the “decider” who gave the orders to commit the “supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole” (quoting the Nuremberg Tribunal) for which Nazi criminals were hanged: the hundreds of thousands of deaths, millions of refugees, destruction of much of the country, the bitter sectarian conflict that has now spread to the rest of the region....

Of course it was a planned asassination and it seems to have gone pretty well

[gregf]

While I don't condone hit squads, this puts Obama in a strong position.
With that, he can tackle middle east peace.
And that is the one single thing that would do the most good in the world.
Eyes on the big prize.
