    For all you who don't think OBL was killed even Al Qaeda is admitting he was killed in the raid.

    Al-Qaida confirms bin Laden's death
    Terror network says America's 'happiness will turn to sadness'

    CAIRO — Al-Qaida on Friday confirmed the killing of Osama bin Laden and warned of retaliation, saying Americans' "happiness will turn to sadness."

    The confirmation came in an Internet statement posted on militant websites, signed by "the general leadership" of al-Qaida.

    The announcement opens the way for the group to name a successor to bin Laden. His deputy Ayman al-Zawahri is now the most prominent figure in the group and is a very likely contender to take his place.

    The statement, dated May 3, was the first by the terror network since bin Laden was killed Monday by U.S. commandos in a raid on his hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

    The statement's authenticity could not be independently confirmed, but it was posted on websites where the group traditionally puts out its messages.

    "We stress that the blood of the holy warrior sheik, Osama bin Laden, God bless him, is precious to us and to all Muslims and will no go in vain," the statement said. "We will remain, God willing, a curse chasing the Americans and their agents, following them outside and inside their countries."

    "Soon, God willing, their happiness will turn to sadness," it said, "their blood will be mingled with their tears."

    In the statement, al-Qaida also called on the people of Pakistan — "where Sheik Osama was killed" — to rise up in revolt against its leaders.

    It also said that an audio message bin Laden recorded a week before his death would be issued soon.

    It's amazing to me how polarizing 9/11, and the everything involved since, has and continues to be. It seems, either you're considered patriotic or (if you even slightly question ANYTHING to do with any of it) you're a conspiracy whack-job. There's absolutely no middle ground. The funny thing is that everyone wants the same damn thing.... the best for the country and the people who live in it.

    But hey, let's bash and piss on people who's opinions differ from you own. It's the American way.

    I don't think anyone bashes for questioning...questioning is good.

    When answers to those questions from experts are ignored, that's when people tend to raise their eyebrows and say, "conspiracy whack-job."

    it's sad that there are too many that will believe al-qaeda over our own president.

    Anyway, in a more serious note (and I saw this joke first on Another Brother's FB):

    Dogs are so amazing. I love them.

    it's a bit scary to think that there is a greater possibility of another 9/11 now we killed their top hyena but I am sure US is doing everything in their power to prevent another one from happening.

    When was the last time a black man admitted to killing somebody and nobody believed him. Times have changed.

    apparently they found evidence of a plan to throw trains off their rail for the anniv of 9/11....but they say it didn't look like they were very far in the planning. Still gotta be careful though.
