Bin Laden Dead?

lol

he was the face of terrorism and gerber

hey jordo I know we've had our problems in the past but you're bringing the quality in this thread and I appreciate it.

you know matt, over the past like six months or so i've been thinking "when did i beef w/ matt armstrong & why?" cuz i pretty much agree w/ you lots of the time

IT HAD TO HAPPEN

matt & jordan "peace in our time"

feel like there's something I'm supposed to say on these kinds of threads

all joking aside:

i'm recoiling pretty heavy at this narrative that is popping up (just propagated by david gregory on msnbc) of all these college kids in DC celebrating because this is the end of my generation's "childhood nightmare". i think it would be obvious that college kids are rioting in front of the white house because of lol college/no parental supervision/let's get crazy, but i shouldn't have give news anchors that much credit.

If any Republican gays want to come out, this is a pretty good news cycle for it.

If any Republican gays want to come out, say they've killed before, they've poisoned the country's water and made your favourite baseballer take steroids, this is a pretty good news cycle for it.

I guess I'm feeling like they just killed John Hinkley or something. Like, "Oh. So that's still a thing? Okay. Anyway..."

Like, I mean I get it but I dont have much of a visceral reaction left in me 10, 11 years after the fact.

I can't opine until I've heard Ja Rule's take on the matter

AMERICAAAAAAAAA YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

lol at the people in the crowd goin "WHAT WHA WHAT?"

all these college kids in DC celebrating because this is the end of my generation's "childhood nightmare".

with this behind us maybe we can all hear the Strokes' comeback album, or watch the latest Fast and Furious movie w/ Vin Diesel, without 2001 hanging on our necks.

OK, so this is the end of the 2000s and the start of the 2010s tonight.

i've been watching msnbc tonight, can someone enlighten me/give me a first hand account of jon king supposedly being drunk on air

Geez its not like this is V day or something. Ugh.

Was thT the CNN guy? His iPhone started ringing and vibrating while he was on screen! He also kept referring to Osama as the "mastermind" after forgetting who Khalid Shaikh Mohammed is, apparently.

someone wanna don a sailor's outfit and neck a passing gal in Times Square?

I am completely divided atm between telling ilx

A) how despite my general cynicism etc I have to be honest abr my feelings here ie this is an emotional moment

B) going politico and enjoying the idea of pawlenty pissing himself and trying to gracefully resign from the pres run

C) loving the fact that in all the wave o news I am still able to watch "major Payne" on tbs

Sorry that video of that video is crap.

i cant lie that cena video made me freakin pumped

News like this depresses me because it makes me realize that there's a blur between "major news stories of the era" and internet memes that everyone's sick of within a few hours.

He's clearly sloshed, though, yeah.

i cant lie that cena video made me freakin pumped

It was working for me up until he said the "DAMN PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN" shit, like what I want to be known for is hunting down and killing people (even guilty people).

Can't derive any joy from Bin Laden's death. All my joy is coming from the hoopla surrounding it.

OH NO THIS GIRL GETTING INTERVIEWED ON MSNBC NOOOOOOOOO SOMEONE SAVE HERRRRRRRRRRR

talking head on bbc just called america and pakistan "frenemies"

Surprisingly apt.

ten years is a pretty long time

yet only fairly recently has there actually been any sign of progress at ground zero

i do not necessarily support the idea that the towers should be replaced by . . . whatever, but i do think it's indicative of our situation that it takes a decade to even do anything

just chill man, it's cool, we don't have to get everything done overnight

This is clearly why the new royal couple postponed their honeymoon, right? The US probably didn't lay it out for them, but probably urged them not to travel abroad.

BTW, since people aren't used to using their names in the same sentence literally all the time, if you mix up Obama and Osama over the next two weeks you get a pass (the first few times).

They're planning on releasing a Royal Honeymoon Sex Tape to steal the headlines back.

Breaking: Taliban claim responsibility in death of Osama Bin Laden

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

I guess I feel sort of numbed to the "symbols" of 9/11 because they were overused to the point of mania...like Bin Laden has been the boogeyman for so long, so fucking long, pre-towers even that this, him being killed, feels like it is happening in a vaccuum. It becomes Obama's political gain bc we are too far from 9/11 for it to belong to those people who died, or the workers and civillians who are sick and trying to get compensation...it feels like it's all upside down.

I didnt mean to sound glib upthread. Still trying to say it right.

this dude's crew killed a friend of mine in afghanistan, so good riddance (to quote shakey.) not exactly "happy" but satisfied i guess.
