'bout time.

[CancerBottle]

Great. Can we go home now?

[Bananafish]

Hasn't he been on dialysis for like seven years, it's sort of amazing he lived for so long

[King Kool]

Good.

I was still hoping for him to face trial, like Hussein did, but this outcome is satisfactory.

What else is there to say?

[octopimpostor]

I agree with you King Kool.

[Bananafish]

Barack Huessin Obama, noted Nobel Peace Prize winner, is about to make a speech gloating about killing an enfeebled old man

[sdhonda]

Hence why you never give the Nobel Peace Prize to a sitting national leader.

According to Barbara Tuchman, the Peace Prize was to be discontinued 20 years after it's conception. Nobel figured that if war and arms races could not be solved by then, they never could.

[CancerBottle]

We killed him. Good.

But we let him scare us into surrendering many of our civil liberties and freedoms. We let him scare us into sending over 5000 of our men and women to die.

You know those "100 Most Influential People Throughout History" books? It's because of America's response that he'll be in them.

Lol we gave one to Kissinger, it literally means nothing

A) Apparently it was a human operation that killed him, not cancer.

B) I wonder how many mixtapes he'll release, like Tupac.

C) Twitter is freaking awesome right now. I see jokes about Zombie bin Laden, Alien bin Laden, Doctor bin Laden, etc.

Oh hoho, want a good read Banana? Check out Kissinger's Diplomacy. It's an academic tome detailing western diplomacy from 1630 to 1990. He repeatedly mentions in various contexts that the morality of individuals differs from the morality of nation states.

Where is the death certificate, Obama?!?! WHERE IS IT?!

[octopimpostor]

Where is the death certificate, Obama?!?! WHERE IS IT?!

hahaha!!!!

Twitter has exploded. My feed is going wild.

I love living in the future. Information (and mis-information) is damn near instantaneously spread across the globe.

Camera on the president's podium just went live.

Honestly, this means... well, it means something, but not terribly much. It's more a symbolic victory than anything, but... this guy was not a good guy. So it's good that he's not influencing people into killing themselves anymore.

My personal favorite so far: "Osama bin Laden was killed in a mansion. Now we have to determine who did it, in which room, and with what object."

[Alja-Markir]

Why does anyone care?

~Alja~

[Bananafish]

Why does anyone care?

~Alja~

We must sate the national bloodlust and ride it into reelection

[Metcarfre]

Because somebody gets a reward, I think.

[King Kool]

Yeah, someone might get $25,000,000, I think it is.

[Metcarfre]

Oh msn, sweer deal.

[Bananafish]

the speech is over, recap:

9/11, troops, osama, "America did not choose this fight"

e; he also used America killing a guy as an example of 'we can do anything we set our minds to'

[Bananafish]

Americans found cheering and dancing in front of white house as though we just won a football game. the joy over this single death will surpass the collective pity for the innocent afghanis, pakistanis, and iraqis who have been left dead or homeless in the past decade.
