Something Big Is Happening
It’s just announced that Obama will address the nation at 10:30 tonight. The press has no idea what this is about. I am officially nervous.
Update: it’s national security related
Rumor is that bin Laden has been killed.
Update 2: Multiple sources say bin Laden is dead, US has the body.

Mysterious.
I immediately thought of Osama.
Me too. Killed or captured.
The NYT has a blurb up on its website saying that someone in government is telling them that Bin Laden is dead.
ObL dead. 10:48 NBC reporting
I am literally stunned.
This is a BFD.
WHAT A FREAKING JOKE!!!!! (Sorry, I have to yell this)
OSAMA BIN LADEN HAS BEEN DEAD FOR FREAKING YEARS!!!
But good, now, can we please just get the F out of the Middle East.
Why announce this late on a Sunday night????
Good news for America. If is okay to be gratified and relieved.
He’s been dead for years? Now we have a new crop of nut bags. “Deathers”. (c). Jason 330
May G-D be praised. Now, let’s bring our troops home!
Here, here.
It’s the 8th anniversary of Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” stunt. Can there be a bigger contrast?
The first withdrawals from Afghanistan begin within the next 60 days – looks like we’re going out victorious.
Thank God.
Now, can we please, please, please, pull out our forces in Afghanistan and Iraq (fully pull out, not leaving thousands of “advisors” in that country) (and Libya, also?!??!)? Can we stop the drone attacks in Yemen, Pakistan, and many other countries? Can we please stop the Patriot Act and end the practice of wiretaps without a warrant?

Bring ’em home!
It sounds like bin Laden was killed in a drone strike.
Too bad that this has to be political, but that is the world we live in.
Irony: apparently today is the 8th anniversary of Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” speech
Ui really? They have the body.
They know it’s bin Laden by DNA testing.
Uniform commentary is that this is a significant blow to AQ
@Jason330 I’ve said that he must be dead for years because of his medical situation. He was getting dialysis in 2001. This was well documented. Yet, we were asked to believe that he could survive in the caves of Afghanistan. Plus, I expected lies from Dubya.
Expect really gruesome DEATH evidence.
Apparently he was living in a mansion near Islamabad, Pakistan.
“Deather”
Word is he was shot in the head by CIA snipers.
That is awesome, XStryker.
@Jason330
I wouldn’t fight anyone to the death for my deather theory, so, I guess I don’t make a very good LWNJ. 😛
I just never trusted the Bush war machine. Sigh.
I’m giving 10 to 1 odds that Donald Trump will demand the original death certificate that Osaka Bin Laden is dead.
Michelle Bachman demands to see the long form death certificate. Lol Dana… Great minds.
Fox News Headline tomorrow will probably read: “Obama interrupts Celebrity Apprentice”
UI, can we get a new title on this post?
Better, new thread.
Here we go. Obama takes the mic. 11:35
