Osama Bin Laden Reported Dead, Body In US Hands 1855
Reader Tom Hudson, and now several others, have submitted the news that Osama Bin Laden is reportedly dead, and that his body is in the hands of the US military. A statement from President Obama is expected shortly. Watch this space for more details. Update: 05/02 04:01 GMT by T : More coverage at ABC News, at CNN, and at Al Jazeera. The reports say that Bin Laden was actually killed about a week ago by a bomb in Pakistan, and the time taken to confirm his identity via DNA testing helped delay the news. In downtown Austin, Texas, in the time since the story broke I've heard what sound like numerous celebratory gunshots.

Can we please forget this sad chapter in our history? Thousands and thousands have died, trillions spent, and liberties seemingly irrevocably lost.
I shed a tear and will not celebrate this at all

Of course, that's how boss battles work, isn't it?
World War 2 ended when a prisoner escaping from some castle gunned down Cyborg-Hitler, after all.

That's only VE day. You forget about VJ day when a giant monkey the Americans stole from some jungle island killed a giant lizard/dinosaur thing.

No. It's been my lifelong dream to fondle the sweaty nutsack of an overweight dungeons-and-dragons playing basement-dweller. You can't ask me to give up that right!

I just saw Donald Trump on Fox News.
After taking credit for the killing of bin Laden, Trump said he wasn't going to believe he was dead until he placed his fingers in the wounds in Osama's hands and side.
In other news, the GOP has released a statement condemning Barack Obama for taking so long getting this done.

In a real war trials are madness, you cannot fight real bullets with lawyers not matter how many lawyers you have.
Are you kidding? Just send the lawyers in as a shield!

Chances are that you would be prosecuted for sexual harassment if you did such a thing.
Only in America could a sexual harassment complaint begin:
so i was feeling his sack when he started making unwanted sexual advances. I told him, "hey buddy, let's keep it strictly professional. I don't know what kind of crazy stuff you're into, but I just want to stick my finger up your ass and go home. It's been a long day"
