Believe in the lies people.  To make matters worst, the U.S. authorities have the nerves to say the body of this idiot was dumped in the sea? Really? 
I'll wait for Wikileaks to reveal the true story about this.  The Government likes to lie to the public, what makes you think they wouldn't do it over and over again?

I'm disappointed in people with how they believe this is remotely a meaningful event. They guy is irrelevant extremist trash. His death is not going to improve anything when it comes to militant extremists wanting to kill people around the world. Terrorists are not a top-down lead hierarchy. They're lead by their misguided beliefs, not by people above them. We are all being played for fools by people in Washington right now to deflect attention on issues of greater importance.

This is largely a symbolic and empty event in the grand scheme of things.

Your a smart guy didn't expect an american to see this point of view they are often blinded by the "event" in the short term circus that always accompanies such news. I think had this have been a reality 9 years ago it would have had more of an impact on the spread of global terrorism much like an early antibiotic treatment in a bacterial infection (I view them to be similar). I think the global terror networks have fractured and matured to a more localized threat and you are 100 percent in that it is now relegated to just a symbolic event.
As is the case in most wars the loss of a symbolic leader can be enough to break the moral of the fighting force who view that symbolistic leader as being "untouchable" or some how blessed as the chosen one.
It is my view as Brad has pointed out an economic distraction but a welcome one you have had quite a bad run as a country economically. So enjoy but I would caution if you don't have money to buy a box of bullets in ten years time it will be a hollow victory if you don't knuckle down and fix your bigger issues.
Short term there will be alot of security clamp downs they in my opinion will be warranted...

Well i for one do not think he is dead. According to analyst this is the dude that runs they show. Why would you bust up in a compound to kill this guy? You would do everything in your power to take him alive. He is worth more alive than dead. That is the reason for the weird story that they buried him at sea, to respect Islamic law, I think it is a little to late. Not trying to get political or anything mods. Just saying. Highly unlikely that this dude is dead, he is some where being drained of information.

Well, if you are spending most of your time searching for something to strike, isn't it easier to strike it when you bait it to come out of its hole?

This is not to imply by any strech of the imagination that anyone can watch everywhere at the same time and react accordingly.
