Agreed. It is good that this mission is complete. I am bothered at the mass celebrations in the streets. It makes us no different than the our enemy that celebrates the murder of our people. While his death may be justified, I don't believe that any death is a celebratory event no matter how evil the person may be.

Judy and I totally agree.....it might be understandable for someone who lost someone, but if we celebrate someones death...it makes us just like them.

BB, we totally agree the world is a better place without OBL, also we understand that everyone is someone's father, mother, brother, sister, or child. Those images of the radical terrorist celebrating after 9/11...left a sick feeling in the pit of our stomachs and angry! I would hope that we, as a country, are better human beings than those terrorist.

In fact, one of the only things that helped us get through that terrible time....was seeing the sane people of the world, grieving with us.

That being said......OBL is gone and thankfully "justice has been served" !!

If you take the opinion of the former U.S. Chief of Counter-Terrorism, Richard Clarke, the U.S. committed the first perceived "offense" to fundamentalist jihadis had with USA was when Ronald Reagan sent in the Marines to occupy Beirut back in '82. It's one thing, to them, to support their beliefs through financing and arms sales... but entirely another thing to set up encampments on Muslim lands. Those of non-muslim faith are deemed infidels when they occupy their holy lands.

If you look back at the time line, the guerrilla raids (read: terror attacks) began as our military presence increased as we tried to stabilize the region...so much for the gratuities and appreciation, huh?

This war has been running hot and cold for 30 years, and I wish we could figure out that the sooner we pull back our visible military presence in the entire region (relying more on drones, satellites, and spy networks), the more secure we could actually be!...but try selling that to lobbyists who represent the industrial military complex in this country.

To them, these wars are just plain good business.
They could care less about the honorable men and women who sacrifice so much in the name of patriotism and freedom.

2011 was already a remarkable year in the Middle East prior to May 1.
Hopefully, there will be even more positive developments, eh?

I read an article where they "eased his body into the sea" in quotes. Does "ease" mean a steel tipped military boot to the head kicking his body off the side of the ship?

Based on what I'm hearing now eased into the sea means just that. I'm assuming they gently lowered the body into the sea to conclude the 40 minute ceremony.

I suppose they did as best as they could to observe full Islamic protocol, short of maybe having an actual mullah or imam reciting the prayers. And they no doubt video-recorded the whole schmear so that they can release it later to show that once Osama was dead his remains were treated in a humane and respectful manner. Not that it's going to make a heckuvalot of difference to certain people within al Qaeda or the Taliban.

Bin Laden's body was washed and placed in a white sheet. He was placed in a weighted bag. Religious remarks were made by a military officer and Osama Bin Laden was slipped into the Arabian sea about 2:00 A.M.

Local sharks report that his body was not especially tasty fare, more boney than hoped, and overgrown beard too greasy.

Another complained about getting a couple sizable chunks of lead caught in teeth...
