Osama Bin Laden Dead Thread

So just to confirm he was killed in a Mansion in a city with a similar name about 20 minutes outside of Islamabad. Not in the city.

 

Abbottabad

I wonder if the people that were confused enough to vote Obama into office are now confused enough to give him a second term.

I also wonder how this will affect the market tomorrow.

Inevitable.

 

 

 

 

I feel bad for laughing out loud at that.

 

 

I predict the Dow breaking 14000 tomorrow.

I am going to be at a nuke plant tomorrow morning. Doesn't get much more secure than that. Love the live shots from the white house of the crowd singing hey hey hey goodbye.

So I guess we can fly with knives in our shoes again?

 

[updated, 12:24 a.m. ET] A team of U.S. Navy SEALs carried out the operation in Pakistan that ended in the death of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, CNN's Chris Lawrence reported. The operation lasted about 40 minutes, and the team had practiced the raid a few times.

 

Earlier, CNN's Nick Paton Walsh, citing a senior Pakistani intelligence official, reported that members of Pakistan's intelligence service - the ISI - were on site in Abbotabad, Pakistan, during the operation that killed bin Laden. The official said he did not know who fired the shot that actually killed Bin Laden.

I think it's a Pakistan Army chopper. Reports say people heard gunfire and then the chopper came down but officials say it was routine fire exercise.

At the beginning of the week DHS made an announcement that we are at the highest terrorist threat since 911.... It made ZERO sense at the time... But now it does... They knew what was about to happen...

 

 

Take special precautions... If you work in a large office building or in a major civic center, dont be complacent.... If something doesnt seem right, if the hair on the back of your neck stands up... LEAVE... FAST.... DONT WAIT FOR PERMISSION.
