Good riddance.

Surprisingly, he was in a mansion outside Islamabad, the capitol of Pakistan, not holed up in a cave in the boonies somewhere.

Thank goodness.

What are they saying the backlash might be here in the U.S., and in Israel?

(lots of family there, and my kids may be going there this summer....)

It's the 8-year anniversary of Pres. Bush's declaration of mission accomplished.

Now we know what Jack Bauer's been doing since 24 went off the air.

President Obama is speaking now. He says the mission was authorized a week ago, but it was executed today. --Bob

Hugs, SC. I've been thinking about this too. Friends stationed here and overseas are saying they are on heightened alert at their bases.

Wow, they've been saying he's been dead a week, and were awaiting the announcement until the DNA reports were finalized.

Thanks Cindy. Let's hope all of us, and all of our families everywhere will be in a safer world now, not the opposite...

Yes, and they're expecting wild celebrations there and all over. Showing the cheering crowds outside the White House now...

I'm hugging random people in the streets tomorrow and I'll try and stop by Ground Zero at some point as well...Outside of births, weddings and Millionaire this is the happiest I've been in a decade....

While this is wonderful news, I've just gotten a little more apprehensive about the flight my family and I are taking in 8 hours from Taiwan back to LAX.
I'm hoping nothing happens that leads to delays on the arrival side of things after 12 hours in the air.

"RIH Osama bin Laden"! An even better subject line than "When do the phone lines open?"

In Israel and Jewish communities everywhere, this is Holocaust Rememberance Day. A fitting day for this announcement.

A small team of Americans killed bin Laden in a firefight Sunday at a compound in Pakistan, the president said, and took custody of his remains. Americaj officials said they were being handled in accordance with Islamic tradition.
So they will tie him to a big stick and parade his dead body in a parade down Madison Ave.? That's the Islamic tradition with your enemies.

So there was no Islamic tradition before Madison Avenue was built? I'm surprised to learn that. But I guess it makes sense -- Mecca, Medina, Madison.

I am hoping that what this means is that they shoved a pork sausage up his ass and wrapped him in bacon.

My favorite LOL comment:

"I bet Osama is sorry he got an iPhone 4 before they solved that tracking problem."

Sounds like from all the reports, we gave Bin Laden a Moe Greene shot to the eye, and he took the same boat ride as Big Pussy...Great work

Trump's ego was busy being pissed about Apprentice getting cut into last night to worry about long-form death certificate.
