From the Obit. in the NY Times
“Do you want Bin Laden dead?” a reporter asked President George W. Bush six days after the Sept. 11 attacks.
“I want him — I want justice,” the president answered. “And there’s an old poster out West, as I recall, that said, ‘Wanted: Dead or Alive.’ ”
It took nearly a decade before that quest finally ended in Pakistan with the death of Bin Laden during a confrontation with American forces, who attacked a compound where officials said he had been hiding.
Kudos to President Obama and the brave Navy Seals who got it done.

...but hes doing a victory lap in a clown car.
i have to tend to agree with you on that ... and that's definitely unfortunate.
but at the same time it seems that the former "birthers" are creating a new "movement" and becoming the "deathers" ... where's the pictures ... he's not really dead ... once again the whole thing is a circus. when it should be a very solemn moment.
Well the good news is that at the end of the day when all the political spinning and bickering is done, obl will still be dead.
