In an attempt to release the news of Osama bin Laden’s death quickly late Sunday night, MSNBC correspondent Norah O’Donnell accidentally reported on Twitter that “Obama” had been “killed” instead.

“Obama shot and killed,” Norah O’Donnell posted on Twitter, citing NBC Chief Pentagon Correspondent Jim Miklaszewski as her source.

It was announced Sunday that Osama Bin Laden, who orchestrated the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, was killed by American forces. President Obama addressed the nation to deliver the news around 11:30 PM EST.

O’Donnell later removed the post.

See JK's posts above. The disposal of OBL's body was clearly planned and carefully thought out - wisely. Why give anyone in the Muslim world any opportunity to make a martyr of OBL or make an issue of how respectful or disrespectful we were to their traditions? In other words, this is a complete victory for the U.S., so why do anything to cloud it? It was brilliantly carried out and closed out in a neat package with a bow tie on it. The burial at sea was totally the right call.

[Hot Rod]

Glad our military finally got him. I also really believe it didn't matter who was the President at the time. When you have the green light and information to get him, it's just an obvious decision. Our intelligence and armed forces continued to their job in locating him, and when they did it sounds like they didn't just bust in there, but planned it out properly to avoid military loss of life.

I think this should be a concern to anyone who thinks they can mess with the U.S. We love our freedom, but when you mess with us, WE WILL FIND YOU!

God Bless America!

we put a bullet thru his head and dumped his body over an undisclosed grid coordinate in an ocean "somewhere" - does it really matter if we say "we observed muslim customs?"

How much do you want to bet the SEALs were ordered to kill OBL and everyone with him? The official line is OBL and his associates fired at the SEALs and the SEALs then killed them. Maybe, maybe not. No matter though, because I figure Obama did not want OBL alive. Kill OBL and dispose of his body, and that is that. Can you imagine bringing him back alive and trying him? What a nightmare. Again, assuming that kill OBL was the order, it was another wise one.

We will never know. Or it could have been done Peruvian style, ala the embassy raid back in the 90s: mow everyone down and keep peppering their bodies with bullets for several minutes and then go out and wave samurai swords in celebration. However, I tend to think the SEALs operated in a much more professional manner than the Peruvian special forces. Just one bullet each needed.

He is already a martyr to his followers.

You didn't have to be disrespectful to his body but you sure didn't have to bury it in 24 hours, either. He11, his followers will probably make the compound a shrine.

If they got all of the verification and information they needed in 24 hours then so be it. Otherwise, no need to rush just to keep his followers happy.

We're talking about war here. Despite our Western attempts at making war this civilized and decent thing, it just isn't and won't ever be. This fella is primarily responsible for the brutal killing of thousands of Americans, the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor. He doesn't deserve respect, he doesn't deserve to benefit from our civilized custom of prosecuting a war. He got exactly what he deserved. A headshot, and a quick transformation into fish food.

This cycle of violence has been going on since Ancient times--Greeks vs. the Persians; Romans vs. everybody; Umayyid Caliphate vs. Spain and the Franks; the Crusades; Turks vs. the West. No one is under the illusion that knocking off Bin Laden is going to end all of that, but imagine if Richard I had managed to knock off Saladin. That'd have been kinda big, n'est pas?

I spent almost 15 years living in the Muslim world. Mostly happy years. But, after devoting a lot of time and energy to insisting on tolerance and understanding from the Western World, I came to understand that the Muslim world neither wanted it nor reciprocated.

At this stage, I merely hope for a nice Iran/Iraq war to break out and end only when there are no more fighters on either side.

Regarding the world Muslim community, Vlad Putin is right, they regard 'us' as dust and will attempt to kill us whenever and whereever they can. It is not the Western World that needs to change, it is the Islamic world. Until they do, we must be vigilant and respond to each and every of their atrocities against us with maximal force and viciousness.

[MR2-Sooner86]

Would you disagree that desecrating Osama's body would cost American lives?

"They can say they buried him at sea, but they cannot say they did it according to Islam," said Mohammed al-Qubaisi, Dubai's grand mufti. "If the family does not want him, it's really simple in Islam: You dig up a grave anywhere, even on a remote island, you say the prayers and that's it. Sea burials are permissible for Muslims in extraordinary circumstances, [but] this is not one of them."

But Mohammed Qudah, a professor of Islamic law at the University of Jordan, said burying the Saudi-born Bin Laden at sea was not forbidden if there was nobody to receive the body and provide a Muslim burial. "The land and the sea belong to God, who is able to protect and raise the dead at the end of times for Judgment Day," he said. "It's neither true nor correct to claim that there was nobody in the Muslim world ready to receive Bin Laden's body."

"What was done by the Americans is forbidden by Islam and might provoke some Muslims," said another Islamic scholar from Iraq, Abdul-Sattar al-Janabi, who preaches at Baghdad's famous Abu Hanifa mosque. "It is not acceptable and it is almost a crime to throw the body of a Muslim man into the sea. The body of Bin Laden should have been handed over to his family to look for a country or land to bury him." (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/may/02/osama-bin-laden-death-live)

I never suggested that (thanks for putting words in my mouth anyways) but I think any nuclear threat should be taken very seriously, especially when theres evidence that many warheads were unaccounted for in Central Asia after the fall of the USSR. Its not inconceivable that a terrorist organization has acquired either a loose warhead from the USSR or possibly even the Khan network.

And on provoking Muslims, I'm not saying they have any right to go killing after someone draws a cartoon of Muhammad, but going in heavy handed and not offering slight respect to their customs has gotten many Americans killed in the past.

My only critique of your position is that responding to lies, contempt, violence and treachery with honesty and consideration works rarely and is more often a waste of time or, worse, an incitement to bullies.

I would say we've tried the honesty and consideration approach for most of the last century....with little of no success when it comes to the islamic world (lack of caps intentional). For the last decade or so, the use of overwhelming, brutal force has had arguable merit. But at least it's felt good.

They will stop killing ours when the cost becomes too high. Or when there are none of them left. We didn't start this shiite. It would be criminally negligent for us to fail to end it.

There will always be some group, somewhere, who get their panties in a twist because 'Amerika' has done something they don't like. Or, in the alternative, because we didn't do something they view as our obligation. 99% of the time our sins are completely imaginary reflections of their own failure of wit or will to take care of issues in their own pathetic lives.

As to isolationism, we've touched on this before: prior to WWI and then, again, prior to WWII to name only the two most famous. It wasn't possible even as long ago as our Civil War. That should, in the age of air travel (appropos, non?), be pretty obvious.

Really?

That is what I'm talking about, and this time the Gypsy mendicants came back to cost us thousands of lives.

I have a hard time believing Americans "cleaned his body and wrapped him in a white sheet" before disposing his body in the ocean. Sure that is what the U.S. said. My bet is...they identified his body and kicked him off the aircraft carrier chained to a cinder block.

A lot of Bin Laden's anger came not from our boots on the ground in SA, but the fact that after Desert Storm was winding down it became clear we had no intention of abandoning the bases we had established there.

Dandy, so let's extend ourselves to a conclusion. Here's the setup so far: The good ole USofA takes an action to resolve a problem. Some whack job, associated with other whack jobs (who, by the way are absolutist, it's their way or no way at all), takes umbrage. They threaten violence and then act on their threats, killing lots of our citizens (by the way, unassociated with the act that riled up the wj's in the first place).

Do we:

A) Do our best to placate every pressure group who chooses to exert themselves to oppose something or other? (and remember here: you can't pick and choose. You don't know in advance who will actually act out).
or
B) Ignore them and hope for the best.
or
C) Take the best considered action you can muster under the time and circumstances to address your national interests and monitor those groups who appear to pose the highest degree of threat...and, from time to time send very serious men to their homes late at night to kill them.

You're free to vote for option 'A', we live in a democracy. I am free to vote for option 'C'. We as a nation tend towards 'B'....until our people are killed and then we peg the needle over towards 'C' for a while....and generally the world is a better place for it.

[TUSooner]

Well, it was a group of highly trained and talented Americans. They didn't use 5 dudes off a message board.

Spek.

Funny reading all the conclusions that were jumped to before the full facts came out. Not quite as funny seeing the same old lame, tired, political knee-jerks reactions despite the facts.

[soonerbrat]

Thanks for the link. PCR takes about two hours to do at my work. I'm sure the best was available to those guys.

it took me about 6 hours when I used to do that stuff. but i'm sure technology is much better than at the small lab where I used to work.

Don't kill me for saying this, but isn't the timing of this all in the least bit suspicious? I do think we killed him, as this would be an awful big lie, but the body was immediately disposed of before it could be verified, and images can always be manipulated. I just have Jessica Lynch and Pat Tillman incidents in my mind.

I won't believe it until I see a death certificate. Long form.

[Midtowner]

I believe nothing until I see the long-form death certificate.

Beat you on that one.

Sooooo, the muslims are pissed about his "burial" at sea, who gives a royal **** since some of the folks at the WTC site didn't get enough of them found to have a burial.

**** you, if I had my choice I would have buried him *** up towards mecca.

With dildo hanging out for good measure.

I was going through the news networks last night and Geraldo was by far the most entertaining when news broke out. He was trying to keep from pissing his pants he was so happy.

As far as Osama getting killed hopefully this means mission accomplished and we can start getting the hell out of the middle east and fix our own problems. Having 2.5 wars go on. Having troops in Korea, Japan, Europe, and over 100 other countries just makes no sense with our current economic problems.

[yermom]

good luck with all that

Hopefully you were meaning Osama.

[bigfatjerk]

I changed it. I made the same mistake Geraldo made last night. How did we elect a guy with one letter away from being the biggest terrorist in US history? That should have been a good sign how bad a president Obama was gonna be.

Where he's going there probably will be 72 virgins but they will all be males.

I'm sure they had the best for this test. PCR takes about 2.5 hours now. I don't even know if they did PCR, but that would be about the quickest. Even if it took longer, they still had plenty of time.



I spent almost 15 years living in the Muslim world. Mostly happy years. But, after devoting a lot of time and energy to insisting on tolerance and understanding from the Western World, I came to understand that the Muslim world neither wanted it nor reciprocated. .

I agree. Islam is a political movement masqueraded as a religion, and regardless what the West does, Islamic politics is always contrary than secular politics.

[BeetDigger]

Hmm.... I'm thinking that Osama is not exactly partying with 72 virgins right now.

Correct. Not 72 virgins, 72 sodomists. :texan:
