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.

"dumped at sea" - may turn out to be least number of political consequences - we'll see.

Yeah, who needs context? Or complete quotes?
Surely not Al Gore when he was 'quoted' about the Internet. But to 'some' degree, I get what Bush was saying...OBL had become fairly irrelevant from a threat perspective and there were bigger fish to fry.

Bin Laden was apparently found in a mansion in Pakistan. See, this is what happens when you use the "check-in" feature on Facebook.

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 should be.
Agreed, also. It disgusts me when images of "some folks" in ME countries are seen jumping for joy at the death of someone or a family of "settlers" or so forth and now this...

:agree:

PeterB if this is not what you were trying to say I apologize.
