Congrats to our Special Forces- great work! Reports are they got him in a mansion outside the capital of Pakistan. Interesting....

Wow... I thought this was a joke at first. I was at the point of accepting that he would probably just die of old age somewhere. A+ news.

Sent an email to my sister in law in Iraq last night... She was shocked - hadn't heard anything about it.. But suffice to say - they celebrated..

I'm glad I won't have to look at his mug much any more. It makes me cringe when I see it.

Excellent outcome. Sounds like a perfectly performed plan with no US casualties.

I wonder if my nephew was a part of this. He's a SEAL. Last I knew he was in the middle east , either Yemen and/or Pakistan.
I kind of doubt it though, he's young and I'm sure this team was hand picked guys with the most experience.

We'll never know who exactly was involved. Their families become instant targets if that info becomes public.

Exactly, We never know where he's been exactly or what he's done. Even his wife knows nothing. Most ops are never in the news.

I worry about him alot.

I'm not normaly a conspiracy theorist, since I believe in never ascribing to malicious intent what can be easily explained by incompetence, but something's fishy. From the location, 800 yards from Pakistan's West Point, to burying the body at sea less than 24 hours later, just odd. My biggest fear, though, is that we only found him because someone has already replaced him and he was irrelevant, except perhaps as a martyr and a rallying point.

Kudos and props to our soldiers in harm's way, to be sure- they're doing a great job.
