CNN and Fox are confirming that he is indeed dead. We've had his body for a week, they're saying, checking DNA and such.

Finally! As an NYC resident this has personal meaning to me. I will never forget that day, waking uo to the horrible news that we were attacked. I'll never forget going outside & thinking what a beautifull day it was, looking up & see the plums of thick black smoke in the sky.
It may get worse before it gets better, but the workd will be able to breathe easier now that this monster is dead.

Life is full of strange twists and turns. Nearly ten years ago, on September 11th I explained to my young son, then in middle school, that the United States had been attacked by Muslim fanatics.
Tonight, I called my son in Camp Lejeune to tell him Osama bin Laden had been killed by American forces in Pakistan. The phone call, placed at 11pm woke my son from a deep sleep. His Marine unit has been drilling outdoors for two consecutive weeks in anticipation of their next deployment to Afghanistan. No, my son informed me, he hadn't heard the news about bin Laden's death. Knowing his 18 hour day starts at 0430am, I urged Ross to go back to sleep. Earlier today, Al Qaeda announced the launch of their Spring offensive in Afghanistan. The war goes on.

While we're mostly happy here in the US, the feeling isn't universal. Even in Canada the support that I thought we'd get isn't there.
At the time of me reading this comment, it had 10 who agree w/ it & 8 who didn't. The comment posted was:
What a great way to start the day!!!.........excellent news!
So out of 18 people who saw that comment.. Friggen EIGHT didn't agree.
In reading the comments that I've read so far, I'd say that bin laden seems to be getting support in about 25% of em. Unreal.

And a few more-
That's what i'm talkin about!!!........Good job USA!!!
So far has 10 agrees, 9 disagrees
and
Hooyah, SEALs!
Outstanding.
So far has 6 agrees, 7 disagrees.
If that's the support we're getting from Canada I can only imagine what it's like in the rest of the world.

What a good morning! 
I have been searching for reaction in the UK and one theme that is coming through is scepticism because, in the main, of this .......
"US media reports said that the body was buried at sea to conform with Islamic practice of a burial within 24 hours and to prevent any grave becoming a shrine"
On the whole though everyone is more than happy.

May he rot in hell!

Like the Japanees Emperior Hirowhoever said when they attacked the US at Pearl Harbor, "I'm afraid all we've done is awaken a sleeping giant." In this case, sleeping Muslim fanactics!
Oh Well, Our Navy Seals can fix their a** too.
Go Seals!!!!!! HELL of a job! Don't stop now!!! This is STILL OUR COUNTRY!
