Ding Dong The Bin IS DEAD- OSAMA BIN LADEN RECEIVES THE TERRORIST SEND OFF
United Caves of Terrorist Pansies- Osama Bin Loser is dead. He was killed in a US anti-terrorist effort led by Donald Trump’s cowlick.
Yes, it has that kinda power, as we knew.
Ok, that is a stretch, it only had the power to produce a birth certificate, duh.
Osama Bin Laden is believed to have been killed in Pakistan, details to follow.
To my friends and family-
A reminder why this incubus in a cave is worthy of coverage on my site.

WOW, Blink. You’re on top of your game tonight! I had a sneaking suspicion you might have a brief mention of this. And, my first thought went to Donald Trump, too. All I could think is what a total JERK (being kind here) blabbing for weeks about a birth certificate when our president was dealing with this matter behind the scenes. Now I understand Obama’s comment at the recent Associated Press dinner where Obama said he’s glad the birthing issue is behind him so he can get on with truly important issues he is dealing with. Fade into the sunset Trump.
Anyway, now that I’ve rambled…Thank God for the tenacity of this administration and the CIA. Pure evil is dead and we have a step toward justice and closure for all those whose lives were affected on September 11, 2001. Long live the United States of America!!!!
First and formost, this is my opinion based on what information I have learned from studying 9/11. I do not believe bin laden was responsible for what happened that day. While I do believe he was an evil person, to connect him to 9/11 is not something I would expect a large group of skilled investigators would do. I have done hours upon hours of research on this subject and would appreciate it if others would do the same before ripping me apart. I am in no way trying to disrespect our country or our military. I am proud of what they accomplished and will support them forever.
Al Qaeda was responsible for this attack.
He led Al Qaeda, what am I missing outside the obvious history lesson?
And I believe strongly you mean no disrespect, I am open to new Information.
B
Thank goodness! What a boost this will be to the men and women serving our Country. We have waited a long time for this day.
Listen we lost about 400 ppl just in this area alone. I’m tired of hearing Al Qaeda wasnt responsible. Chef,how about a plane used as a missle slam into your backyard? Drop the conspiracy BS and lay it to rest.
EliGrandma – brilliant post! I am 100% behind you – ditto.
I do think (as much as it pains me to say it) that our former President deserves credit for not only giving kudos the the current administration but also for his work and efforts toward bringing the day to reality.
I wish I were in DC – I would be one of the celebrants at the gates of the Whitehouse right now.
I cannot believe this came out of the blue today!!! What a great day in history.
lily- nice to see you and I could not agree more.
B
While Osama praised the attacks, he never took credit, he in fact denied being the “mastermind”. Plenty of media misinformation led to people believing he was the one responsible. He became the terrorism “boogey man”. While the government promised hard evidence of his involvement, it was never produced. I am glad he is gone, there is plenty of evidence of other horrible crimes he commited. I don’t believe our lives are going to change because he has been killed. Bin laden is on the fbi 10 most wanted list….the attacks on 9/11 is not on the list of crimes he is wanted for. http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten
Tonight I am neither Republican nor Democrat, I am just a proud American. Thank you President Obama and our many U.S. Military Divisions !!! Blink, I knew instinctively that you already had this great news covered, and as always ahead of the curve. Bravo!!!
Brilliant Connie- I could not have said it better. We are the Uni-party tonight as far as this is concerned.
B
Archie,
Good to see you again. If you want to disagree with Chef, you’ll have to find a better word than BS. The assertion to “drop it” is not a request, it’s a demand. That’s just not polite. You’ll get used to writing here, without blame or judgement–a disagreement backed with your facts will do it!
Chef, I think that is an interesting point that Bin Laden isn’t wanted for the 9/11 attack on the World Trade buildings.
Blink, this reminds me of something you said regarding Randy Yates and others who don’t adequately see the “road signs.” The threat is always there, but can be extremely predictable.

Anthony…

Unless bin laden flew all 4 planes himself, with no help from anyone else, then your theory is a conspiracy as well. I am not saying this was not done by al qaeda with or without the help from bin laden. I am saying there is not evidence that proves he was responsible. Isn’t that what we do here? The reason we come here is because we know the words posted here are checked and confirmed before they are taken as fact. I don’t claim proof he is innocent, only that we cannot prove him responsible.
FINALLY.
Blink, you’re the best. Thanks for giving us a forum to process what has just happened.
I never thought I would see the day that Osama Bin Laden was captured or killed. Although we will always have to be on guard for terrorism with myriad splintered-off factions operating in multiple countries, we have finally eliminated the man behind the Trade Center bombing and the attacks of 9/11. Many thanks to the special forces, counter intelligence, and the administation who finally made this happen.
Chef, because I knew several of the victims killed in the attacks, I have spent years researching and reading everything I could find in an attempt to understand who was behind this, and how and why these attacks occurred. Credible intelligence has connected Bin Laden and Al Qaeda to these incidents.
I just cannot express more than the 3 sentences I could muster.
It is such a personal thing, blame for the death of innocense.
Here is a thought-
For those of us that are spared- What have you done to pay it forward?
B
Osama bin Laden lived in lavish castles who were told to prepare tables in full banquet dress just in case he showed up there to eat. Meanwhile, children starved, peopled died and were buried in mass gravew with no respect whatsover. Bin Laden lived a long life of terrorizing his own people. Osama bin Laden has continued to run away from the face of the law as the mastermind of the murders of his people. Osama bin Laden was the leading force behind the horrific terror placed on our country the 9/11 attacks. Innocents and babies cried out for food while his table lay sat in the best food and wine just in case he showed up that day….This was a sick man and we must continue to fight the others that he brainswashed into cult status.
Ijust want to be clear, I am terribly sad from the loss of all innocent life, I mean no disrespect and am especially sorry to those here who lost someone they know.
So glad Blink that you wrote this! I just got back from a welcome home party for a friend and immediately saw the Bin Laden story on the news. I then came to BOC to check up on things and found your headline and lol. That was exactly the sentence I was about to put on my facebook! “Ding Dong the Bin is dead!” And good call on Donald Trump’s cowlick!
I also went back and reread your touching memorial from last year about 9-11, it always makes me cry to read it and I have wanted to tell you what a beautiful, touching job you did on that. Everyone should read it if they haven’t already!
My sincere thanks, I can no longer read it myself. It took me 10 years to write it and my copy editor Madeline Tanner convinced me to publish it after I was going to scrap it. I know in my mind that was my way of keeping it in my hurt locker, lol.
I take no pride in the death of anyone, and I do struggle a bit with my enthusiasm for this man’s passing because at the end of the day, it was hate, not love, that inspired these evil pricks in the first place.
That said, there is a little less evil in the world today, and I am thankful for it.
B
Thanks for covering this Blink & completely in your own way- snark and all.
I have been humming a tune all night, I hope it is an omen for happier days ahead for all, especially for the men and women of the military and their families and for those who lost loved ones in the attacks, for New York and for America & for the world as a whole.
So long sad times
go long bad times
we are rid of you at last
howdy gay times
cloudy gray times
you are now a thing of the past
Happy days are here again
the skies above are clear again
so let’s sing a song of cheer again
happy days are here again
All together shout it now
there’s no one
who can doubt it now
so let’s tell the world about it now
happy days are here again
Your cares and troubles are gone
there’ll be no more from now on
from now on
happy days are here again
the skies above are so clear again
so let’s sing a song of cheer again
happy times
happy nights
happy days
are here again!
With this news, We can be as President Obama once hoped- United-
respectfully Paraphrased-
We’re not red states and blue states; we’re all Americans, standing up together for the red, white, and blue
PS I dont think a President Trump could have succeeded in this endeavor…shouting YOURE FIRED at Bin Laden probably wouldnt have had the same effect…
JMO
Perfect! I can hear the big band version in my head.
lol at the YOURE FIRED, I read a WSJ op ed piece yesterday that had me on the floor, too funny.
B
Let us NOT forget the USS COLE, and all the deaths and injuries of our U. S. Navy men and women. That too was Bin Laden.
JUSTICE May 1, 2011.…God bless the victims and their families and all the soldiers that have put their lives on the line because of the evil work of this man.
A great thing for America and great timing for a few reasons:
What better way for Obama to cut into Trump’s Trashy reality show and juxtapose the reality of what his reign can accomplish.
What better reminder for Americans to unite as America and discontinue the self-destructive dialogue on frivolous matters such as birth certificates – a luxury no country can afford to engage in and divide on.
My question now is what’s the deal with Pakistan? Bin Laden hidden not in a gopher hole like Saddam, but housed in the lap of luxury with servants and security…the Pakistani Government getting lots of US dollars to be on top of the situation, wouldn’t they likely have known??
Blink,
Did you purposely type “OBAMA” Bin Laden rather than “OSAMA” in your article?
Good Heavens No, lol. I was excited- my bad, corrected.
B
Why was he so hurriedly buried at sea? The official explanation is that we are respecting Islamic burial rules but why should we do that for this heinous criminal? Sorry for my scepticism but burial at sea prevents exhumation. Was there dna testing done? Pictures taken? How can we be sure it was him?
It is my understanding that he was identified via familial DNA, but I suspect we will learn more today.
B
Words cannot express how proud I am of our collective intelligence both here in the States and abroad. Though our enemies and detractors would have us believe otherwise, the U.S. DOES have many allies around the globe, some of whom were instrumental in assisting with the strategic currency necessary to carry off this mission – and I thnak them, too. Many kudos to our President, like him or not, for his tenacity in the quest to find and bring Bin Laden to justice…and prayers for all of those touched by 9/11 wherever and whoever they may be.
Forgot to add before submitting: obviously, kudos as well to our amazing Blink for covering this very relevant story!
Yes, thank you Blink. I was moved beyond words at your Memorial article last year. The day of 911 I called my elderly parents–stepdad served in WWII–and alerted them to turn on TV. Then drove over and held them and blurted out, “I knew terrorism would hit us hard one day, but I’m so sorry it happened within your lifetimes.” Thought I’d said the wrong thing, but it was SO right. Dad and his friends, many WWII survivors who were already frail by 911, they all felt so helpless.
I’m sorry my own stepdad died not long before this day came. I hoped Bin Laden would be caught within his lifetime.
My continuing condolences to all those who lost loved ones at the hands of this man. And my thanks beyond words to all who serve our country.
Thank you Blink
My Poppa was a decorated WWII vet, if you had the oppty to watch THE PACIFIC last year, y’all saw pics of him.
The respect I have for those that serve this country I could never put in words, but it is always in my heart.
I hope that this terrorists death is a measure of comfort to many today.
Thank you beejay.

Once he was positively identified, why not bury him in accordance with his religious beliefs? All the US, and the world for that matter, has to know is that he is dead. Anything else would be unethical, and counterproductive. I strongly oppose capital punishment, but I can see why the US had no other choice than to kill him. Had they captured him alive and brought him to trial, this would have been an unprecedented security risk.
For the record, I believe bin Laden was a sadistic mass murderer. I was far to close to one of his attacks, and could have been killed by another. I have seen it all in real life.
Getting some groceries now. This spells retaliation.

I too did hours of research. I watched documentaries, conspiracy theories, investigative reports. I was also watching that horrific day when the second plane hit the tower, LIVE.
I’ve seen videos of bin Laden denouncing the USA, our friends to the south, as being the world’s enemy. I watched documented videos of him on the day of t 911. He would hold up 1 finger for each plane that hit his target. The last target was a miss…the White House, thankfully to the heroes of the flight that disintegrated into almost nothing in a Pennsylvannia field. I feel just as educated as you. I do not know what your sources are but it saddens me you would even entertain the thought that this is not as it seems. Finally, I have spoken with a retired Marine who served in the Gulf War. President Bush knew about bin Laden but did not know about the upcoming attacks. It was President Clinton who had many opportunities to catch bin Laden, but failed for reasons unknown. Bin Laden resurrected Al Qaeda in 1988. This is long before President’s G.W. Bush and Obama came into power. How can we blame them for the monstrosities of one wicked man who’s soul focus was to destroy western civilization? If anyone is to blame for the attacks on our freedom, it is bin laden and his minions, alone. He HATED, LOATHED, western civilization!!!! He LOATHED democracy because this man, who came from a wealthy family in Yemen and settled in Saudi Arabia wanted MORE! He wanted to be a God. He wanted to be feared. He wanted to be seen as an all powerful prophet hiding behind his religion but entertaining Satan as an honoured guest in his regiment. He exploited his religion, killed innocent civilians and had many believe that if they gave up their life, they would be justly rewarded in the after life. If that is so true, why didn’t he sacrifice his own life.
I apologize for harsh opinion. It is not you. I believe God had a hand in bringing down bin Laden. I am grateful to Obama and all other heroes involved (not just during the killing of bin Laden, but all those who’ve served and lost loved ones in the name of freedom…for the entire world, regardless of religion, faith or country).
I have never in my life felt this kind of elation in my life. It will never bring loved ones back, but the deeds of this demon have come to an end. He has been served and as a Canadian, I bow to our American freedom fighters for never giving up on bringing this evil system down.
My only question….is Trump going to require a death certificate to ensure it was a legal death? Just something to lighten the mood.
Regardless, I feel a deeper sense of freedom and the need to rejoice that the world’s most hated man is gone, forever.
Praise God!
He HATED, LOATED, western civilization!!!! He LOATHED democracy because it means everyone is equal and deserves
Oops…..the earlier I write, the worse the editting!
Let peace reign!
Blink, I would have thought the US authorities would have wanted to do an autopsy on the thing. Rumours of his ailing health have been circulating. HE needed a cain to walk. I find it hard to believe they would dispose of the body so quickly.
IMO, it also explains why President Obama did not attend the Royal Wedding. My last ‘WTF’ is how bin Laden managed to live in a well populated area, in a mansion, near the Pakistan capital (IIRC) without going unnoticed.
I agree, but I don’t wonder. Pakistan harbored a terrorist and enemy of the United States. I guess we should be thankful we had access rights to get him, or were they granted to eliminate collatteral damage?
B
I watched the coverage late and figured a Jersey journalist would be on it. Re “what’s with Pakistan?” and “burial at sea.”. US press (on iphone CNN etc) was so weak in details, I got the bright idea to watch, for the first time, al jazeera english. Very informative interviews. One said Bin had never been to a Pashtun enclave, or a military enclave before (neighborhood was predominantly military), and he had been “lured” there by Pakis he trusted. Also the burial at sea was to prevent an informal shrine developing. I’m sure pics of body will leak.
Agreed, they will leak.

@Ragdoll, I so agree with you.

As others have said, I suspect photos of the deceased Bin Laden will be released soon. Sadly, even with photos the conspiracy theorists will likely begin spinning their yarn.
I heard on the radio this am that Osama was first flown to Saudi Arabia for an autopsy and retrieval of DNA for familial testing and pictures. This was followed by burial at sea…(I hope they dropped him from a really high plane). Forgive me Lord for having that thought.
Wow, I just heard that May 1st, was the same day that our forces took Hitler’s compound in 1945.
Correct.
B
forgive my ignorance..but is Osama Bin Laden the same man as Usama Bin Laden?..I’ve seen it listed both ways..also I guess his son was killed in the attack also?
just live in fear of retaliation against America..it NEVER ends…proud to live in the greatest country on Earth!!
thank you blink for posting this. i had tears in my eyes on my way into work this morning when i heard the local philly radio stations playing god bless america and the national anthem. you are so right..the world has a little less evil in it today.
I would also like to note the Blink was on special assignment and now Bin Laden is dead
All kidding aside, what a great day for our country! God Bless the USA!
interesting there was an arrest this weekend in Germnay in regards to terrorism….next town over from me, http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/eu_germany_terror
wondering why? I can only guess, in my line of work I must say that this is not a day to celebrate, but a day to remind ourselves how not to act, bless our Troops Bless the USA and stay vigilant….I am waiting for the next 48 hours to celebrate in my own way…no cheers no jokes or laughs, recognizing the seriousiness of the situation and praying that one day we will have peace throughout this world.
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” – Henry Louis Mencken
Yes, Osama was/is an evil bastard, but lest we forget the CIA trained, and armed him when he was with Mujahideen fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan. Bin Laden was a major US asset at one point. And not even 24 hours later we already have DNA confirmation? Yeah? What lab was that tested at? I’m calling bullshit on the whole thing. Way to take the focus off of our illegal war in Libya, and prime your run for re-election. Arab terrorism wasn’t even a problem in the western world until post-1948 when yet again we stuck our nose where it didn’t belong, and along with Britain created the state of Israel. Don’t get me wrong. I feel absolutely terrible for all the victims, and families of 9/11. I’m just sick and damn tired of watching poor kids get sent off to fight, and die in a rich man’s war. Blowing up other poor kids on the other side of the planet in the name of the almighty dollar. I’m also sick of my countrymen that are too stupid to see it for what it really is. I’m no conspiracy theorist. I just see it for what it really is. Absolute greed.
I just want to say that there are many people who hold a myriad of different opinions IRT 911 and who knew what and when and who should have done what when.
IMO that is a discussion for another day…
It is my opinion only, that we, as in the public, will never know the complete truth of the matter-
Having said that- I was watching the local news on 911 as I brushed through my little daughters hair, getting her ready for school on that bright September morning- I will never forget the horror of that moment and the horror of the following days, and months and years- and how the blue sky never seemed to recapture its beauty following that morning…nor did my daughters eyes recapture the brightness of the future in the same way again
It is my hope thatthe blue sky can now recover fully, and with it a whole generation of children.
It is my opinion, that our children are the ones that were most effected by this evil- and it is my opinion, that today their is a collective sigh of relief from the children, that they can finally breathe a little easier knowing this man has been found and is no longer on this Earth.
He was essentially the boogy man of the 21st Century and he has been flushed out into the light of day.
How many of us had to turn to our children and try to reassure them that day? As a teacher, I know how hard we had to work to try to calm the fears of every child, in the days and weeks and months and years that followed, not to mention deal with our own fears and the fears of others around the world.
One thing of beauty came from 911 that is disputable, it is how we all felt as one in our grief and sorrow and hope for a new day.
Today we can all breathe a tiny bit better- even though we know terror has not been wiped out- we at least know we have succeeded in one endeavor-
To move toward the brighter day on the otherside of fear.

OH BLINK! thanks for posting this and some of you know that I have one son in the Air Force (over there 4 times now) and one son in the Army.
This is ONE HAPPY MOM TO SEE THIS GUY DEAD DEAD DEAD as I have spent a lot of my time crying my eyes out missing and worrying about my boys over there fighting because of this JERK! woo hoo
Ding Dong the witch is dead the wicked witch, the wicked witch is dead,,,
GO USA! GO!
OH and also I have a great nephew over on the front lines in Afghanistan that we have not heard from in over a week now….. pray for them please.
I was watching Desperate Housewives last night when it was interrupted by this announcement before the President even came on and I texted both of my sons with the good news and they both text me back saying “are you sure?” lol I said yep and they tuned in to listen. My son on base said they are excited today!!!!! woo hoo again and again
Now I lay me down to sleep…one less terrorist this world does keep…with all my heart I give my thanks…to those in uniform regardless of ranks…you serve our country and serve it well…with humble hearts your stories tell…so as I rest my weary eyes…while freedom rings our flag still flies…you give your all, do what you must…with God we live and God we trust….Amen
For those who wonder why our government believed OBL/UBL was responsible…well, he made those claims personally. He published videos and distributed them far and wide proudly proclaiming his participation/funding, etc.
I also think he had the perfect burial.
Great work Blink. Thank you so much for honoring our troops and our country.
Let’s roll!
I guess, since we killed this creep while he was hiding like the RAT he is, he won’t qualify for his 72 virgins, right?
my BFF’s letter to me, thought I would share
“Dar, I don’t know if I told you that I was 100 feet from the nose of the plane inside the Pentagon. I lost many friends and acquaintances that day. Buddies, Grandmas, all great Americans. And the unthinkable horror on board the aircraft. Dreadful. I knew we would get him sooner or later. But still I’m still a bit uneasy with the countries response that he has been killed. We are too civilized to want blood even for the deluge of American blood he spilled. I am glad he’s gone but somehow I don’t feel like cheering. Now we wait for a response. I don’t a good feeling; there’s gonna be more blood”
Just a little humor, OK? I can’t stop myself.
Where in Pakistan is Costelloabad?
I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” –MLK Jr
The reason that there are so many conflicting beliefs is because of so many conflicting reports. There isn’t evidence available to prove any theory. With so much conflicting reports and stories, how does one just stick as the truth. Some of the videos of bin laden are thought to be faked and many of them are not translated correctly. I am not here to argue that he was not responsible. I am in no way saying he is not, only that I haven’t seen evidence saying he did. I am just looking for others opinions and hoping someone has something we can discuss. I am very interested in this crime committed against us all and would like to investigate together like we do for so many other cases here.
Check this link for and interesting and scary read: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalid_Sheikh_Mohammed
Thanks for listening.
I am so glad that they finally got this piece of human trash. It is so telling that he had to use women as shields. Real loving religion that he practiced.
The U.S. Navy did the right thing by burying him at sea. This prevents a memorial from being built to incite further terrorism from the muslim radicals.
I bet he was so EVIL..the sharks won’t even eat him…LOL
