Back to the topic at hand.... another interesting take on the events, this time from overseas.
From the article:
5. There is likely to be a lot of “Obama got Osama” crowing from Democrats but the intelligence that led to the raid originated in 2007, during the Bush administration. Listening to the account of the long and patient process that followed, this seems like an example of the US military and intelligence community working seamlessly from one adminstration to the next.

Man, when I was in, Military and Civilian Intel were absolutely not "seamless"... Two entirely different animals. It was always inexplicable to me. This is about people's lives, not about counting coup...

Obama supported the CIA in their assessments-he gets credit for doing so- It does not diminish or expand the great job done in getting bin Laden. The work to nail his nasty ass began years ago and concluded yesterday-ALL INVOLVED get credit. Kudos to Obama for "staying the course"!

I'm glad to see that the wall between civilian and military intel groups has been removed. I always hated that. Being an analyst, when we got info late or not at all it made our jobs so much more difficult. Those laws were always so stupid.

It's quite telling that Pakistan was not informed. I am thinking that helicopter that crash landed was an attack by Pakistan (imo). The fact that bin Laden was just 35 miles north of the capital shows a complicity between the Pakistan government and AQ. I hope we stop all financial support immediately!

If we don't there is something more going on. This has the feel of the "NK" idiocy where we paid a government who turned around and sold the food we used as trade to buy the equipment to produce the very weapons we were paying them not to produce... We gave them slightly over 20 billion to gain support and they seem to be laughing. I'll wait until I see more to make a judgment on that though. There may be something that I don't see here.
 
Intel gathering that was initiated in 2003 via CIA interrogations began the timeline of these events.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), who was repeatedly subjected to methods including “waterboarding” and stress positions, provided the CIA with the name of bin Laden’s personal courier, according to US officials.

Given the fact that he was a mere 800 yards away from Pakistan's Military Academy only adds to my conviction that the Pakistani government was complicit in helping him...it's nucking-futs that we are still giving them aid-3 billion just this year and 18 billion since 2003!
 
Seriously, you assholes are making this political? I am at a bar celebrating Sunday Funday and the bar turned off the sports and the music and turned on CNN and everyone is going crazy. Several people have bought shots for the bar in celebration. This is so awesome. Fuck you if you are trying to make this political.

I was at dinner and a huge cheer went out! It was wonderful! We all toasted! NAVY SEALS TEAM SIX! Way to go, boys! The sharp shooter who got him must feel very proud today! The fact that Obama got to watch, something he will never forget!
 
You will get to see pictures, the body is at sea buried in Muslim fashion.

CAIRO (AP) - Muslim clerics said Monday that Osama bin Laden's burial at sea was a violation of Islamic tradition that may further provoke militant calls for revenge attacks against American targets.
