So a small team of US Operatives (He didn't specify what branch, obviously still classified) got in a fucking firefight, killed bin laden, got his body, and exfiltrated WITHOUT A SINGLE CASUALTY.

To those who go without glory, I salute you.

Wow; thats majorly impressive.

Not really. For the kind of operators who carried out this mission, even something this major is just business as usual.

Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion, that violence has never solved anything, is wishful thinking at its worst.

I hope they got themselves a nice pay raise, bonus, medal, or other proper reward for that

Well at any rate this would explain the US's heightened activity in Pakistan over the past year.  I wonder if some of the tension between the US and Pakistan will cool off a little.

Okay, he's dead. So? And nuclear hellstorm on a major city in Europe? Take any of them except the German ones. And now, stop screwing around in Mesopotamia, mein America.

Speech was pretty standard fare.  Not sure what I was expecting.

Maybe we'll get a better one tomorrow.

I don't know what'll happen to them, but I can tell you what they're probably doing right now:  getting crunk.

Bin Laden finally loses world's largest and most expensive game of hide-and-seek.

Also, FUCKING PAKISTAN. Obama was the one who unpopularly heightened operations in Pakistan so... Got to give him credit here.

My bet goes to Obama gets re-elected.

They should get a statue for it, and a good one too, not some silly modern artistic one

Well, that's that. I feel like this is going to be one of my generation's "where-were-you-when-you-heard" moments.

God I hope not. "Watching Touhou AMVs instead of studying for finals", is the sort of thing where I have to come up with a convincing lie to make me look less bad to society.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I don't get why they think we'll make more money off this:

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-fiw-markets-reaction-osama-laden-dead-20110502,0,4211155.story

I mean it's cool that we killed him and yay, but.... It's a bit like underpants gnomes isn't it.

Step One:
Collect Underpants
Step Two:
?
Step Three:
Profit!

I mean how does this little jerk being dead make us money again?
