Bin Laden dead! Major coo for Obama

If its true his fanatical followers will be on the warpath.

I think this will increase the attacks on the US. He created several sub groups who will be fighting to be the new leader of Al Qaeda. To be view as the leader they will have to stage a spectacular attack or a series of attacks in a short time over a large area. The security around the world should be on heightened alert. If we get hit with a new wave of terrorist attacks it could spell doom for his reelection. Killing Bin Laden alone will not secure his re election. He will still have to deal with the economy.

I understand the body has already been disposed of, and in such a way that we can't go back and get it...

If it does there ALOT of very stupid people out there! Look how long, and how many presidents this has been through. We've been fighting to find this guy for along time now. If they identify the body as other than Bin Laden I won't be the least bit surprised. There have been several times they thought they found him. If they give Obama all the credit for finally getting him they are deficient. It has been a long time coming but it isn't his glory. I will be laughing and shaking my head if they give him full credit for this. If it even is him.

So many different opinions and feelings have to be swimming through the heart and mind of obama. It certainly has to make a difference in how people will think of him and what has happened.

It is a big achievement for Bush, who started a war on terror. But end of Laden will not end terror, only love and forgiveness can win over terrorism.

Yes, I think it will be a great boon for Obama's re-election campaign. On the other hand, any support he gains from this victory could be killed by how he handles the aftermath. Terrorists aren't going to take this lying down, so it will be up to Obama to step up to the plate and be willing to defend the US against whatever comes next. On the political front, he already did one thing that is going to bite him in the butt. While there was DNA verification that this was Bin Laden, there was NO independent verification. The fact that the body was buried at sea so quickly feeds the fire of controversy. Now, "what did he know and when did he know it". Did Obama have anything to do with the haste in disposing of the body (and the evidence)?

Hello i am from india, not aware of political situation there I think, terroism is not going to end I heard this news in tv last night, read the details in newspaper this morning, but still i can't believe, they have sucessfully killed the real one, may be one of the duplicates, Thanks for this nice discussion. Cheers. God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .

As a citizen of the Philippines, this issue concerns us also. I think that Pres. Obama should not dwell on Bin Laden's downfall for his re-election. I think it would be more beneficial to focus his energy to more pressing concerns such as the economy and other more important matters that concerns his country. Politicking is important but not that much important to his constituents.I think he would be remembered more if he did some improvement in the economy..thats my take on the issue.
