1. He was shot twice in the head.
2. He was shot in the cheek.
3. He was shot above the left eye.
4. He was shot once in the head and once in the chest.

...
He had a big heed.

Speaking personally, as a Republican, I think that the fewer people who knew about this operation, the better. Too many cooks spoil the broth as it were.

The biggest controversy I've heard about the whole thing was what Rep. Peter King said. That was that some of the information that got the ball rolling toward the courier who eventually led us to bin Laden was obtained from waterboarding terror suspects (KSM in particular). I will go on record as saying I have absolutely no problem with "enhanced interrogation techniques" when it comes to these types of people. It's quite a bit less lethal than their technique of beheading.

My thoughts are summed up very well by what is apparently a hackneyed mis quote incorrectly attributed to Mark Twain, anyway,

"I have never wished anyone dead, but there are obituaries I have read with great deal of satisfaction"


also the new drink is The Bin Laden, two shots and a splash of water.


There is a very interesting article on the USA Today website discussing what his death means to those of my generation. Worth the read. I was about 14 at the time of 9/11, so my peers and I have that burned into our memories as a sudden, severe wake-up call to the way the world truly is. And now a long, dark chapter of our lives has been ended.

What a shame.

Who knows, its a complicated situation so we'll have to wait and see. The intel gathered from his place could prove very valuable. Indications are that we recovered a huge amount, which even if only 25% of it is actionable will still put us significantly ahead of where we were.

If that is what you want your country to be, far be it from me to get in the way.

These: :lol2:

And I think it's a really good point about him being the bogeyman for the young adults of today.
