Apparently as the result of a US military operation - the US is in possession of his body. The president is preparing to speak on the subject as I write this.

Nice. I have a few friends down there that have probably already made his acquaintance by now. Hope those 72 virgins were worth it.

Well, there you have it. Confirmed by the President - apparently as the result of a firefight. Way to go special forces!

Very exciting news! It's pretty nice too, that we lost nobody with our ground forces.

I don't mean undermine this historic event, but I wonder what will happen to the Osama Bin Laden Twitter parody account. :p

For their sake, hopefully someone with a bullet-proof helmet ;)

Imagine the dude who got off that headshot - that must have been incredibly gratifying.
