Hell fucking yeah!!

(AP) — At roughly 9:30 p.m. the White House released word that President Obama would make a statement to the nation via live broadcast regarding national security. CBS News has reported that the House Intelligence committee aide has confirmed that Osama Bin Laden is dead. U.S. has the body. Update: All U.S. news outlets are also confirming the report that bin Laden’s body is now in US possession.

Update: Bush calls bin Laden death “momentous achievement.”

Update (5/2/11 8:00 am): From Obama’s late-night speech:

I directed Leon Pannetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority”

I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden”

I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden”

I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action and authorized an operation to get Usama bin Laden and bring him to justice”

“Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad Pakistan”

I have made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam; bin Laden was not a Muslim leader”

It’s all about me!!
