If true (there was a report a woman was killed), its fitting that he died a coward's death...using a woman as a human shield.

A well deserved bonus to the unit that pulled off this dangerous mission, if you ask me.

Glad we, as Americans, can finally close the chapter on that scumbag.

Who are you aiming respect towards? I will make an assumption that was the poster. That piece of excrement bin laden deserves no respect in any shape manner or form. I hope it hurt really really bad before his lights went out.

All the credit goes to the men and women wearing camo and if I had to guess, a couple people up in Langley perhaps who are probably looking at a helluva (well deserved) raise.
If not for that 2 year pay freeze that was signed into law.

I'm wondering if it was Kennedy style or more of a "Grab his ankles let's toss him over".
