Hey Osama ... how are those virgins treating you?

Oh, wait, you got shot in the head by the "infidel" so you don't get the virgins. Sucks to be you, old boy.  I figured they would have found you in some dingy cave and clearly not in a mansion outside of Islamabad. I'm going to go ahead and predict that this will not end well for a number of politicans and what not in Pakistan over the next couple of weeks.  Some of my key takeaways from this glorious morning:
  • Joint CIA, Delta and Navy SEAL operation where Osama and his son (and a bunch of others) were sent to Allah.  Not one operator was injured in the shoot out - not a single casualty. Looks like some bad guys just got OWNED. 
  • HUGE props for Obama -- he had the option of sending in guided missiles and he sent in our special forces instead to make sure that we got 'em. Fantastic. LOVE IT. 
  • He was shot and killed by a Navy SEAL -- which means the great infidel got 'em.
  • Intel for the raid was obtained from a few Pakistani's and interogations in Guantanamo Bay (interesting footnote about Obama wanting to stop interrogations but I'm not going there because today is all about WINNING)
  • He was in an upscale neighborhood outside of Islamabad -- hmm ... I guess that means the Pakistani's knew where he was -- probably going to be a tough couple of months to be a politician or military leader in Pakistan. Perhaps they are not our Ally? Personally, I say we side more with India - they have better food and less track suits.
While the death of Bin Laden is not the end, (in fact, this will probably escalate the war) it is a step in the right direction.  We took far to long to find him and get him, but he's gone and that is a beautiful thing. I'm looking forward to seeing the made for TV movie about the raid ... hopefully staring Charlie Sheen (see Navy SEALS and Red Dawn).  


The social networks are blowing up with comments from people commenting about Bin Laden's death. My favorite, from a friend from High School: So, what outfit says 'The guy responsible for shooting my husband is dead? :).

Lots more to come on this and I'm sure some great videos of us blowing things up!

Oh and ... Thank you, Navy SEALS and CIA. Fantastic!
