It's a conspiracy.

Thanks, Bush for plunging us into an unwinnable war and flushing our economy down the toilet.

FTFY

My gut reaction is that this is wholly insignificant. Symbolically nice, but insignificant.

I completely agree. I might be wrong, but it seems that "terrorism" has died down after the aftermath of 9/11.

No, all I'm saying is that I agree because he wasn't doing much since 9/11, so this is just a mental victory...I think.

Yeah. Symbolically important, but I don't think it'll change much.

What? Terrorism skyrocketed after 9/11. Just not in America.

I mean the fear after the fear of 9/11. Basically, it has not been bad since everyone got all scared, more shit happened, and people got more scared.

Mental victories are just as significant (if not more) than any other kind of victory.  A victory is a victory.

Yes, the fear is still there. The actions that resulted in fear have died down. That's what I'm talking about.

REPORT: He was killed, along with several members of his family, while hiding out in a MANSION outside of Islamabad, Pakistan.

Looks like Pakistan has a few questions to answer.

Completely, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a suicide bombing in Iraq now.

This will probably only help Obama's re-election campaign. I mean, depending on how all of this plays out. If it is for the better, than yeah. If things take a turn for the worse and we end up staying in Iraq longer, than probably not
