Big News! Osama bin Laden is Dead! [Update 5]

I was driving home from a quick run to the grocery store when I first heard on Geraldo's show that Bin Laden is dead! The first blog on my blogroll to announce this was Atlas Shrugs.

Praise be to God that our brave military continued to pursue the illusive Al Qaeda murderer and mastermind and was finally successful!!!

HT: Atlas Shrugs

*******

P.S. During Obama's comments tonight, he stated that the events that killed Osama bin Laden happened "today" but the reports say it happened a week ago!! Hmmmm....a teleprompter error? Or was Obama trying to take credit for an event that happened without his influence?

*******

Update 1

I found a link via WorldNetDaily of photos of the compound after the killings. Warning! Many are bloody and gruesome.

ABC: Photos inside Osama bin Laden kill zone

Update 2

There is also a video

The people are speaking Arabic so I don't know what they were saying.

Also see Osama Bin Laden Killed Near Islamabad.

Hat tip ABC News.

Update 3


I thought that it was only fair to include some links to what skeptics have written about this news:

Veterans Today: Obama Announces bin Laden Still Dead

[Take special note of what the late Benazir Bhutto said about bin Laden being murdered years ago in a video at above link.]

Stevex09: Osama Bin Laden dead … but the body is conveniently disposed of … in the sea!

Update #4 - 5/3/11

I think that the photos of Osama bin Laden's body need to be released. Many Americans need to see if the terrorist is really dead.

News Yahoo: Not everyone believes bin Laden really is dead

Even some Pakistani youths are mocking the U.S. over it!

'Osama is alive!' mock Pakistanis outside compound

Some Pakistanis think "it was faked."

News Yahoo: Bin Laden's luxury hideout raises questions.

And please note that this is NOT coming from a right-wing blog! Quote from end of article:

Many Pakistanis doubted the U.S. account of the raid, with some refusing to believe that bin Laden was dead.

"It is not possible. Like other incidents, I think this is faked," said Mohammad Bashir, a 45-year-old cab driver in Abbottabad. "It seems that in the coming days, suddenly Osama will come out with a statement."

Associated Press writers Zarar Khan in Abbottabad, Munir Ahmed and Chris Brummitt in Islamabad and Rasool Dawar in Peshawar contributed to this report.
