OBL got off easy. I’d like to have seen his head sawed off, as his minions did to their victims.
I hope they wrapped him in pigskin before dumping him in the ocean.

I'm gonna guess they've followed Muslim tradition best they could.
Not out of respect for terrorists and their followers, but for the rest of the Muslim world that for the most part will be just as happy he is gone.
I hope he gets the 72 virgins from hell.

Yeah, he probably went down the way he wanted...

I wish these people in front of the White house would go home..really annoying to me that we hit the streets after this...
My thoughts as well. It reminded me of the many scenes of those celebrating in the streets in other countries when the towers came down.
While I'm pleased that this has seen a fitting "end", I'm not nearly as exuberant as others.
I feel the same way. While I'm glad that he's dead, I wouldn't be celebrating in the streets right now. Our enemies did that when the towers came down, and we're better than that. The U.S. is NOT "eye for an eye", or at least we (edit, I believe this is what PeterB was trying to say)shouldn't be.
:agree:
PeterB if this is not what you were trying to say I apologize.
Yep that's correct... as I say, that's what I get for 3AM editing.

I have no problem with this. There's a big difference between cheering the deaths of innocent people in the WTC and exultation about the elimination of the mass murderer who was responsible for that crime.
To address this: while I do understand the jubilance at this guy's death, at the same time, there's a difference between justice and vengeance. People celebrated V-J Day and V-E Day, but I think mostly what they felt upon Hitler's death was relief, not jubilation. You should be relieved and glad that this guy is dead, not joyful. That's the belief of our enemies, that they believe in, and take pleasure in, vengeance and not justice.

Let's just hope the monster that fills his shoes is a lot less capable.
and that it isn't any time soon.

I hear his last words were:
"I hate iPhone tracking"

I agree.
Many years ago his followers were quoted as saying, "if he, OBL, were to be killed they had at least a dozen to
step into his shoes", not their exact words but same meaning.
