31. Welcome
jan ,   Jerusalem,Israel   (05.02.11)
On que, like a Hollywood movie, America opens the 2012 election campaign season with a zinger. They've known where is was for awhile-but in politics it's all timing. Americans will jump about and try to forget the big picture. Time will tell if it's realllly osama who's dead. Gotta get Obama out of that house
32. Stupid Americans: Islam is at war with you!
(05.02.11)
Wether you like it or not. So what will you do? Will you spend millions killing one snake, or realize that ALL SNIKES BITE! Once you realize that, you'll be closer to victory against the most murderous plague of the 20-21 Centuries: Islam. Until that happens, you and everybody else will bleed and die, as Islam wages war even if in your monumental stupidity, refuse to recognize that.
33. Nasrallah, you're next.

34. Don't be misled by Salma from "Balestine"
(05.02.11)
There is hatred between Muslims, between various sects, and hatred agains Al Qaeda is evident in Gaza. Makes me think that Salma lives in Gaza, AKA Egypt, not really "Balestine" as he/she/it claims. Actually I live in Palestine, the name given by the Romans to The Land of Israel after their destruction of Jerusalem. Even if she/he/it are happy that Al Qaeda is hurt, that doesn't mean that he/she/it won't murder any if us, non-Muslims on sight, at the first opportunity. Once people understand this, they'll begin to be efficient in their fight against Islam.
35. The CIA asset Osama bin Laden died at least ten years
Rivkah   (05.02.11)
ago from kidney failure. Was his corpse kept in a freezer for a special occasion announcement after fleecing the American taxpayers for a trillion dollars to pay for wars? Has the military industrial complex run out of money to keep him in a deep freeze? No wonder with $400. a gallon gas in Afganistan for the US troops. Bring the troops home and arrest the US President and keep him locked up until he surrenders his war powers that Congress gave to President Franklin Roosevelt on the condition he surrender those powere before leaving office.
36. Wow. What an extraordinary team!!

39. Disney Week
Jacob Erickson ,   Holon, Israel   (05.02.11)
To quote my niece, "This week has been like a disney movie. The prince got married to his princess and the bad guy died."
40. More Muslim on Muslim violence, as if we don't have enough .

42. If it's true... well done, America!

Good news comes together : )

44. Hurray for Captain America!

45. One small step in the war on Islamofascism
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (05.02.11)
While justice may have been done for this one Al Queda scumbag, there are thousands more out there who have been slaughtering innocent people for years. And Muslims should remember that Al Qaeda has murdered more Muslims (tens of thousands) and are responsible for many more deaths than any infidels who may have killed Muslims. We are relieved that this scourge is dead, yet we know that there are thousands of his minions out there looking to kill us, our friends, and strangers we and they don't even know. The battle against the evil of Islamofascism won't stop now, in fact, it's pretty much guaranteed that Al Quaea Muslims will do their best to go out and kill as many innocent people as they can in revenge.
46. Israelis did not work on Sept. 11 happy then and now
Jay   (05.02.11)
47. One thing about Muslim martyrs..
Al ,   TA   (05.02.11)
They're not the kind that brings out celibacy, piety and charity in men. More like the visions of doom in Frank Herbert's Dune.
48. Morons. Al Qaeda still lives. You don't understand Islam!
(05.02.11)
It's not like killing a general of an army, or a head of state. Al Qaeda is an idea, like Nazism, Communism or Islam. You killed one emmisary, but more will come. If you don't uproot a tree, a new one will grow. The "tree" is Islam. Burn its roots and peace will come. If you don't do it, you'll need to cut it every time it grows. The root of evil is Islam.
49. I am sad
(05.02.11)
that after ten years of fighting, billions of dollars and thousands of American bodies, all Americans have to show for is the body of an old, ill and irrelevant arch-murderer. In their characteristic naivety, the Americans think they solved the problem, instead of understanding that Bin Laden is the product of a more serious problem: Islam.
50. Celebrate?
Yakov ,   Tel Aviv   (05.02.11)
A human monster has been removed from our troubled society. It is a good thing, as it was his own actions that caused so many to seek his demise. Two things bother me, though. First, when Israel removes an equally repugnant monster, we are vilified. We are criticized for stopping like-minded killer's and murders. Is it OK to kill Jew's and Israeli's, and our murderer's should be lauded as righteous? Second, is the global jubilation. Yes, cause for celebration exists, with Bin Laden's demise. However, celebrating anyones murder, just or otherwise seems wrong. I certainly don't suggest remorse should exist, not at all. But the event should be modest, and reflective. He was a monster, and what he stood for is repugnant, but celebrating a murder is uncomfortable. Delivering vengeance with a smile reduces the distance between them and us.
51. How On!! Wait on this one!!
Yehuda ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.02.11)
After Obama doing a photo shop trick on his birth certificate to fool the American people he then would tell the truth about killing Ben Laden? Let’s wait for the forensic reports to confirm that it was Ben Laden. In fact there should be an independent international forensic report made on this matter.
52. Can't be cought alive
(05.02.11)
53. Travel warning in all the world: why?
(05.02.11)
Because the problem is not bin laden, it is Islam. Meaning that any Muslim can become a bloodthirsty murderer, just as the Quran says. No peace in the world for as long as Islam lives!
54. Obama kills Osama. Assad&Kadaffi kills Muslims.
(05.02.11)
Nothing new in the Muslim world.
55. Anyone smelling ELECTIONS?
(05.02.11)
This is nothing more than an elections stunt. It was not only a matter of IF to kill Osama, it was WHEN. Timed perfectly with Mubarak Obama's showing his birth certificate. Pity that Obama didn't eliminate Bin Laden when he knew his whereabouts, two years ago.
56. YAYYYY!!! dancing in the streets of NYC/DC
Countess MARA   (05.02.11)
OK NOW YOU ALL ARE TALKING!!!
57. So much for martyrdom: He ran like a coward!
EZ ,   US   (05.02.11)
And some of these posts are hilarious! As if this wasn't a significant achievement! It was a MAJOR blow to all Muslim terrorists: a symbol that WE WILL NOT GIVE UP UNTIL YOU ARE FINISHED OFF LIKE THE COWARDS U ARE! And for the big mouthed Muslim terrorists who keep popping off: uh, in case u haven't noticed: the free world has been kicking your butts all over the Planet for 11 years now...and YEAH...WE'RE WINNING BIG TIME. Bin Ladens death is a marker point of a long journey towards completely destroying islams ability to terrorize and will be continued until Islam becomes a door to door sales pitch like a J-witness and the ME egomaniacal mentality is forever crushed. AND IT WILL HAPPEN. NO MATTER HOW LONG OR HOW MANY THERE ARE OF U...U WILL BE FORCED TO CHANGE YOUR WAY AND BECOME CIVILIZED OR YOU SIMPLY WON'T BE ALLOWED TO BE AROUND TO SCREW UP THE WORLD WITH YOUR BS AND TERROR!!!
58. Yep. Timing is everything, isn't it?
Devorah   (05.02.11)
59. Great operation!! 4 more years Obama
Sheik Rattle & Roll ,   USA   (05.02.11)
This shows you Obama haters that even though he inherited a mess just give him time.
60. #2 Bin laden and his 72 raisins
Ian ,   Israel   (05.02.11)
