College Kids
I live near Elon University and find it ludicrous how these same kids who are anti-war...ect are out getting drunk as hell celebrating his death. Truth be told I feel for many it is just an excuse to act like a dumb-ass.

We did not pursue him to justice; instead we assassinated an enemy leader.
I would've rather seen him brought to justice. Letting him rot in some prison would've served us better, instead we made a martyr out of him.
Personally, I'm happy he's dead. The world is a better place for that. But I'm profoundly bothered that the US chose to kill him rather than bring him to justice.
I would love to see the tape of the live feed Oboma watched, it might answer a few questions, but that probably wont happen. It would be nice to see if he could've been taken alive, even then it is easy to critique a mission and find faults, being there would be the only way to put it in proper perspective.
He was probably shot in the face/head, I am sure that might have something to do with pictures not being shown yet.
And I'm bothered that the US chose to carry out a special forces mission in the sovereign territory of an ally to do so.
I think this speaks volumes on how little we trust Pakistan, of course I have always thought he had many sympathizers there. I guess we figured we smooth it out with them later.
In the end I don't think this will change too much, but I am glad we got him.
It will be interesting to hear all the conspiracy talk from the likes of Alex Jones...ect, I bet there is probably something on prison planet now. One gentleman I talk with on radio has already said he thinks we got him at Guantanamo alive. Should be very entertaining, I love a good nut-job conspiracy. Hell you never know, might even be some truth in some of them!!! LOL

Conspirices to follow
Alex Jones
also
That is what is on prison planet. I hate that some hard evidence wont be given, gives too much ammo for the nut-jobs to use. I guess Osama is hanging out with Elvis in some alternate reality. Yes yes, Osama might become the Muslim Elvis, in Iran one day and Sudan the next.
Either way POTUS handles it there will be people waiting to criticize him. I am not sure releasing a few pictures would do too much damage though? I am almost certain some will get out eventually. Better that they are officially released as to avoid the authenticity issue.

Re: Regarding Rhetoric, Emotions, Irony and Healing
I tell you he is not dead........I have proof........he is in my basement, along with Elvis and Michael Jackson, and my cyborg that contains Hitlers brain.
I think most of these conspiracy nuts are only seeking attention, Its the ones who really believe in what they say that I find the most entertaining...kind of reminds me of a few people on here who will twist the truth to suit their arguments, RB being among the worst, Inventing evidence and misrepresenting credible science or ignoring it all together when it proves them wrong.
I personally think he,OBL, is fish food, and am glad that so far there hasn't been the repercussions I thought might happen, although its too soon to say there wont be any retaliatory attacks.
