Merged Osama bin Laden dead,

This is interesting:

The White House’s original plan had been to bomb the house, but Obama ultimately decided against that.

“The helicopter raid was riskier. It was more daring,” an official told POLITICO. “But he wanted proof. He didn’t want to just leave a pile of rubble.”

Officials knew there were 22 people living there, and Obama wanted to be sure not to kill civilians unnecessarily. So he ordered officials to come up with an air-assault plan.

I refuse to believe the body is actually UBL until someone also provides his birth certificate. How can he be dead, if he was never really born. Heavy, man.
 
I just wish they had captured him so they could waterboard him 184 times to "get information."
 
Some speculation...

Abbottabad is essentially a military cantonment city in Pakistan, in the hills to the north of the capital of Islamabad, in an area where much of the land is controlled or owned by the Pakistan Army and retired army officers...

It stretches credulity to think that a mansion of that scale could have been built and occupied by bin Laden for six years without it coming to the attention of anyone in Pakistan’s Army.

The initial circumstantial evidence suggests the opposite is more likely—that bin Laden was effectively being housed under Pakistani state control.

It looks like Osama was hiding in a mansion within a guarded compound right next to the Pakistani version of West Point and Annapolis combined. Many military bases, the main Pakistani military academy and even intelligence agencies are all located there. Abbottabad is also pretty close to Islamabad. It's just impossible to deny the complicity of the Pakistani government in helping Bin Laden and Islamic terrorists.

Pakistan must be punished for this betrayal. The U.S was scammed. All foreign aid for Pakistan should cease immediately, followed by sanctions. All immigration from Pakistan should be banned. The world should demand that Pakistan destroy all its nuclear weapons or face the consequences. If there is another war between India and Pakistan, the U.S should take India's side.

There is just too much complicity between many members of the Pakistani government and Al Qaeda and the Taliban for there to be any trust or friendship with Pakistan. It's pretty obvious where the extremists are getting many of their weapons and training.

The U.S military is already stretched thin and broke, so going to war with Pakistan isn't a viable option at this time. Unless the plan is to go to war with Pakistan or "contain" it from Afghanistan, we should pull out of Afghanistan, since it is obvious that with this level of complicity the situation is hopeless. The main reason we went in there is now dead anyway.

Wait, they're going to respect Islamic burial procedures for OBL's body?

WTF?!

Grind him into fish bait. Feed him to pigs.

The man's dead. Who really up and cares what happens to the meat really... The United States does need to maintain its friendships and if not actual friendships, 'you scratch my back, I scratch yours' relationships as they can get critical in the dark of black ops.
 
People keep describing this place as a mansion. that's not what the reviews of the place say...

“Aside from the complimentary dialysis machine use, easy underground access to Pakistan’s beautiful vast cave system, and free toaster waffles, it’s a pretty big dump. The food wasn’t organic, the wifi was spotty at best, absolutely no cell coverage, (yelp reviews were so wrong on that one) and no one spoke English. To make it worse, the country’s best basketball player, some 6’7″ dude with a turban, gets shot our first night there. And the coffee was cold. We’re so not coming back.”
