Front of the site.

NBC News is saying that it was a US military operation in Northern Pakistan and we have his body.

Yeah, and he was in the suburbs of the Capital of Pakistan. Thanks you for being one of our Allies...NOT!

Now we will see his group splinter into couple groups and one will powerful enough to give us black eye once this settles down...

I'm a government media monitor... guess which direction the rest of my working day just went? Frantic alerts to the Premier and government ministers going out in all directions.

I hope that bin Laden died in pain. In a perfect world there would have been a wet ops specialist kneeling on his chest and bitch-slapping him as he faded to black.

From what I am hearing, we got intel in august of last year he hangs out where we got him. The Paki military runs a academy there. The call was made to send in Spec Ops, we did not tell the government about it (A good idea since the politicians like the Taliban) but did tell selected members of the Paki military. The compound went apeshit when they saw the helo's sweep in (As they should considering who they was protecting), and during the battle, a Paki Helo was shot down. DNA match confirms we got him.

At least, thats what I have gleaned from the media so far.

My analysis so far: Massive bump in morale accross the board, Obama takes credit (I will admit that he does deserve some for keeping the hunt alive in spite of what he said he would do during his campaign), and AQ goes apeshit: The loss of leadership from OBL will be felt, but it won't cripple AQ. Expect an uptick in activity over the next two years.
