im sure it will last, but will be moved to The Lounge
This particular thread will stay here.

This thread will be more loosely watched than the current one in the Lounge. Main difference: this is in the Politics forum so political arguments and things of that nature are OK here.

This Lounge one: http://androidforums.com/lounge/328023-osama-bin-laden-dead.html
will be used more as a celebratory one, and one to keep everyone up with the details and new news on whats going on. Keep the arguing OUT of this one.

Just an FYI, keep this thread non-argumentative, positive, and helpful. This is more of the "victory cigar" thread with people contributing to updating us on new news.

If you would like to talk about politics, Obama's handling of the situation, how you feel about the gov't, etc. please use the current thread in the Politics forum where it will be OK: http://androidforums.com/politics-current-affairs/328026-osama-bin-laden-dead-yeah.html

After Obama's speech last night, we were told the body was taken back to Afghanistan. Why? I understand if it is to give him a proper burial, but that seems too far off from now to already take his body back to Afghanistan?

the al quaeda are going to reanimate his body, and thus bring about the zombie apacolypse

Very true, but it wasn't necissarily DEVGRU that did the operation. SEALs have been in Afghanistan, Iraq and other places in the region for quite some time. A known example is Operation Red Wing which you can read about in the book Lone Survivor. But, with the information we have about this operation (it has been in the works for several months now), I think its safe to assume it was DEVGRU since every report says the Navy SEALs were involved. It could have been some sort of task force as well, since some reports are stating CIA operatives were there too (as Homan said, which is quoted below).

Actually it has been confirmed that it was Naval Special Warfare Development Group aka DEVGRU :), I also said, more than like SMU's (DEVGRU or Delta) with CIA SAD. http://www.mediaite.com/online/details-emerge-on-secret-team-that-killed-osama-bin-laden/

I guess some people didn't read what I just posted so I'm going to re-quote it -
