1. Wish I could see it and the Sequel with Khadafi, Ahmadinejad
meir elazar   (05.03.11)
Nasrallah, Haniyeh, al-Zahar, Zawahiri, etc. This episode ended with a brilliant burial at sea ending. We have enough material here for a whole season. What kind of other surprise endings can they come up with for the rest of the season? There certainly are enough bad guys. The Oscars might have to come up with a totally new reality category for next year's,awards.
2. pakistan is getting thrown under the bus finally
Countess Mara   (05.03.11)
where they belong
3. #1 - I might add the rat from Lebanon
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (05.03.11)
and from Azza.... Can you imagine - renting on Netflix - real life-time dispatch of our enemies to hell... Better than anything ever produced in Hollywood
4. yes, but who gave the actual "execute kill now" order?
A watcher ,   here   (05.03.11)
As I understand it, the way American targeted kill teams work is that the team leader is "off site". When the target is in the crosshairs the person who has the target in his crosshairs says so and the off site team leader then actually orders him/her to discharge his/her weapon. If the President was watching it is entirely possible that he as Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces gave the actual order to "discharge your weapon now". The Americans do it this way so that the soldier/asset who actually kills the target is absolved of the responsibility for having done so. So what I'd like to know is who actually said: "Discharge your weapon now"? Was it the President himself?
5. Who did they think was living there? Britney Spears?
Avi ,   Israel   (05.03.11)
Of course the Pakistanis knew who was living there, they were protecting the terrorist leader.
6. Issues with our intelligence- top officials shocked that
Clint ,   Little Rock   (05.03.11)
osama lived in military base town, in big mansion..........not in a cave. joke is on the ignorance of our foreign intell. naivety plus ignorance is a bad combo. i say get rid of the preppy dominance that lives by the silver spoon, bring in natives from these copuntries who understand islam, extremism, not PC bullshyte. it would not have taken them 10 years and they would not be shocked to see osama hiding out in his compound/mansion
7. The White House had better to pay attention
Ypip ,   Canada   (05.03.11)
8. And they wonder why Idaho knows how to drive.
Ypip ,   Canada   (05.03.11)
9. This is the USA!
sk ,   USA   (05.03.11)
If you're hungry, we'll feed you. If you've gone through national calamity we'll help you. If you need technological assistance we'll give what you need. If you need a national loan for infrastructure, we will open our hands and direct banks to assist you. We want to live in peace with you. BUT, if you do harm to our nation and/or our citizens, we will nuke you, destroy your nation, and/or hunt you down and destroy you. Message to Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and all you Satanically inspired and deceived puppets of Evil, just give us the excuse to take you down!
10. I'd sign up for HBO if they could get this footage.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (05.03.11)
11. Afterlife - for #1
GZLives   (05.03.11)
The first virgin Osama encounters is Helen Thomas (This was lifted from a post on another thread by Dan from Hollywood .... )
12. re: bin jaden's "dead" body
joel ,   usa   (05.03.11)
why was the dead body of terrorist osama bin laden not turned over to the pakistani authorities for autopsy. but those arrested & other dead bodies were turned over? a mystery and a good story to tell?
13. Good thing
Golani ,   US   (05.03.11)
Good thing they were not armed with paint ball guns
14. reward
biggus dickus ,   wome   (05.03.11)
i wonder who got paid the massive reward.
15. Don't give Ben laden more importance than he desrves
Salma ,   Palestine   (05.03.11)
Bin Laden was not that serious threat.
16. Americka; withdraw from Pakistan; he is not a friend!
Daniel ,   Israel   (05.03.11)
Sooner you understand this better for you.
17. why's obama in the small chair ??
david ,   uk   (05.03.11)
18. this story is purly fake
(05.03.11)
The Kabalists are saying that he was killed a while ago, but it was just announces to help President Obama win the next elections. The fact it that the whole store is not real and it is fake.
19. not so fast they have the a bomb
sara ,   brooklyn   (05.03.11)
20. Perks of the job
mark ,   usa   (05.03.11)
I bet,if the powers to be made it pay per view, it would raise hundred million, and if the trigger pullers where to get a taste, it would raise a billion.
21. #17 - have you heard of a "little people"??!!
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (05.03.11)
22. Bin Laden
Tobijah ,   RSA   (05.03.11)
I guess he is with his 12 virgins now.
23. OK This is too think-tank hollywood. No Hit happened?
Josh   (05.03.11)
The single lousy picture of a corpse that isn't blue skin but normal tone.. The milking of approval ratings. Tugg at the heart strings speeches Street cellebartion carried worldwide by media The hollywood command center room The corpse dumped in the ocean Its all too convienient. Obama and Clinton are politicians and this is a ll to much like a rouse before an election. The tail is wagging the dog. If an autopsy was done there are dozens of autopsy photos taken. If there is control room vido, Show us the camera that went in to Obama's hut and viewed the body that supposedly we "took custody" of. It looks like a load of horse pucky. Wars and rumors of war.
24. no casualty reported
observe ,   Egypt   (05.03.11)
although they risked someone's life to shoot a camera in bottle field in order to give them some fun.
25. Kol Hakavod !
miri ,   israel   (05.03.11)
Some of these TB's are idiotic. God Bless America !
26. usa
av ,   london.uk   (05.03.11)
very happy with the killing .now no need to found another ennemy as a former russian said after the fall of the wall,but usa need one all the time
27. Ben Ladin
Natalie ,   israel   (05.03.11)
I agree with 12. We have no evidence that he is dead by the usa or anyone else. I believe it is all a lie on ther part of our government's leaders and a ploy to help Obama get re-elected.Very strange mystery and way of handling a figure of such multitude.
28. Obama has a shorter chair and coffee cups are clean
Josh   (05.03.11)
The decorated officer is in charge and Obama is only watching? A hollywood stunt to make the central character taller. The coffeee cups are unused (Bright whit with no liquid or coffee lines.), yet thet should have been already sitting there for some time before the actual strike happened. They need Hollywood to help them do better. None of the laptops are turned on yet they are all plugged in? The man apparently in charge is typing and not watching. LOL
29. #28 You're a sad case man.
Talula ,   Israel   (05.03.11)
30. So...
Ram ,   London   (05.03.11)
will world peace only come when the Bin Laden worshipper, Haniyeh, be given "Palestine" on a plate? Answers on a postcard pls.
