    It's 8 years since Bush's "Mission Accomplished" moment.

    If Obama really wanted to be a dick -- and I'm not saying he is or would be -- he'd say, "I have two words to say, 'Mission Accomplished.'"

    Would love for Peter Jennings to be around for this.

    So what?

    They've been trying to fuck with us for over a decade. If they were capable of hitting us they would have done it already.

    If anything they're probably hiding in caves all over eastern Afghanistan shitting their bedsheets wondering if they're next.

    Geraldo now reporting that OBL was killed near Islamabad. Crediting CNN for the report.

    Though I guess this would have actually blown the Birth Certificate news out of the water.

    Somehow, Bush's presidency is worse now than it was yesterday.

    If you don't like me politicizing it, tough shit. Guy had seven-plus years to get revenge for what happened on his watch, and it took Obama less than half that time to finish the job.

    God bless America, and God bless Barack Obama.

    Can't let this go by without a "well done."

    I think we can change the thread title at this point. "Osama announcement not at 10:30 p.m."

    Do you think he knew bin Laden was dead and they'd be saying so when he made the announcement? That way he got to release the birth certificate but only have it be on anyone's minds for a couple days with some much better and bigger news.

    And just like that, I'm done with this thread.

    Come on, now. Totally unnecessary.
