May 2, 201114 yr If it was a RPA driver who got him, he/she should be automatically sent back to a manned aircraft or VSP approved (if they want). CNN is calling it a "human operation". Not sure if that's pentagon speak for giving the UAV pilot/intel folks more credit or a fast mover, but doesn't Pakistan have some pretty restrictive laws about foreign militarizes operating on their soil?
May 2, 201114 yr Whoever it was will have a one-line PRF for the rest of his career.."Killed UBL, Terrorist #1" . . . while drinking starbucks and listing to Lady Ga Ga on his iPod.
May 2, 201114 yr Been waiting for a good thread to make my first post in... Hell yes! Man, I wish I could shake the hands of the guys involved in this victory.
May 2, 201114 yr Late word via ABC says US ground troops took the shots taking out bin Laden and his entire party in a firefight. His body is in US custody and will be buried at sea. An excellent end to a day where I lost my last grandparent at 100 years old. Was feeling pretty down and heading for bed when I checked the news one last time. Congratulations, and thank you, to all those involved. Edited May 2, 201114 yr by MKopack

Yeah. Which is probably why it was CIA or some spec ops group.
May 2, 201114 yr I'm sure 99.9999% of the American population will never know who pulled the trigger... but they should never have to buy a drink for the rest of their lives.

May 2, 201114 yr Not sure if this is related From Reuters 22APRIL PESHAWAR, Pakistan | Fri Apr 22, 2011 9:43am EDT PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - Two U.S. pilotless aircraft fired four missiles into a house in Pakistan's North Waziristan region on the Afghan border on Friday killing 25 militants, Pakistani intelligence officials said. The strike came two days after a visit to Islamabad by Admiral Mike Mullen, the top U.S. military official, in which he expressed concern over links between Pakistani security agents and militants attacking U.S.-led forces across the border in Afghanistan. The drone strike happened in Mir Ali town, about 35 km (20 miles) east of the region's main town of Miranshah. A Pakistani intelligence official in the region who declined to be identified said the house was being used as a militant hideout. "They have surrounded the area and are not allowing anybody to go there," the intelligence official said, referring to militants. Twenty-five bodies had been recovered from the rubble and three women were among those killed, he said. Another official said some foreign militants were among the dead but their numbers and nationalities could not confirmed. North Waziristan is a known sanctuary for al Qaeda and Taliban militants. The United States has been using drone attacks to target militants over the past few years in Pakistan's lawless ethnic Pashtun border areas. The attacks are a source of concern for the Pakistani government, which says civilian casualties stoke public anger and bolster support for militancy. During Mullen's visit, a U.S. official said the United States would not stop the drone attacks in Pakistan, despite Pakistani objections. Earlier, militants attacked a security post in the northwestern town of Dir killing 10 soldiers, security officials in the region said. About 30 soldiers were manning the post when militants attacked on Thursday, they said. Fighting went on for several hours. Security forces have been battling Pakistani Taliban militants in several parts of the northwest over recent years. The militants want to destabilize the U.S. ally and impose harsh Islamic rule. In 2009, the military cleared militants from Dir and the neighboring Swat Valley in a successful offensive.

May 2, 201114 yr Even better is the ignomity of a non-denominational burial. AT SEA! That will anger the idiots. Put him in a t-shirt depicting the prophet in a less than flatering manner. Stuff a pork sandwich in his mouth.
May 2, 201114 yr I haven't been a big fan, but that was the Presidents best speech ever - no competition. They should have played the Team America song as he departed.

May 2, 201114 yr Ya, I'm gonna actually agree with ya there, the speech was pretty decent for sure. Not a bad touch with using a portion of the Pledge of Allegiance at the end.
May 2, 201114 yr Probably the speech that will be remembered during his presidency. To the bros who did the deed :beer:
