Is it true that Osama Bin Laden started his revenge against America and Western Countries because a Western prostitute told him he had a small penis. God help us all if every man in the World who has been told that should turn into a terrorist.

Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. 1.How was Osama discovered? 2.When was Osama's hide away discovered? 3.How badly did his execution further destabilize the Pakistani government? I live in Manhattan but I lost no one close to myself, my family or my friends on 9/11 or its aftermath.I do believe that just revenge brings some degree of comfort to those close to the 9/11 victims. We all should celebrate the execution of Osama Bin Laden. He was the enemy responsible for killing thousands of us. However, was his whereabouts known for years, across two administrations? Was his survival the price we paid for Pakistan's lukewarm cooperation? He wasn't moving from one cave to another. He was right there in plain sight with a $27 mil price on his head. Is our intelligence really that bad? I think not.

@jLM i am not saying i dont believe he is dead i just dont believe the story they are putting out.According to the first press release the forty minute firefight resulted in bin laden been shot and killed.Then they said he was unarmed so who were they shooting at for forty minutes or were they telling lies.bit of a slip of the tongue by Obama admitting that he was captured before being killed. then they tell us that the picture from the "situation room" was not when they were watching it unfold in real time because they had a black out in. communications.how many more lies before they admit they just murdered him along with the 957 civilians that were murdered by US drones in Pakistan in 2010.

bullocks - it didn't take 40 min. to kill him. They spent most of their time searching for computers and papers and other intelligence information. They wanted the intelligence info., and BL, otherwise they could've just blown up the whole place. Then there would've been any intelligence and no proof that BL was there. Are you an expert on the logistics of how to capture someone like Bin Laden who is living in a bldg. with other people in a foreign country that has high walls and barbed wire and MAY be booby trapped and guarded by people who are armed? People who don't want to believe BL is dead wouldn't believe it even if they saw the body in person and stuck their finger in the bullet holes.

I don't need to see his picture,I'm just happy he is dead. Everyone connected to the capture and planning should say no more they don't have to explain anything because the same people who never believe anything good of our Goverment won't believe it happened anyway. Remember in WW11 "loose lips sink ships."?Good job seals.

@ tievemore shame it was all a put up job. "oops we lied again".same as their reasons for "burying him at sea".why did it take four helicopters full of "seals" forty minutes to kill an unarmed man and not arrest him?

Looking at the recently released Situation Room photo of the event, it's amazing to see the amount of Irish-American influence in the room. In the photo is John Brennan (noted above), but also: Admiral Mike Mullen, White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley, National Security Advisor Tom Donilon, Joe Biden (Derry roots) and we know all about the man from Moneygall (and that's just the folks I can ID in the photo, perhaps there are more Irish-Americans present). Really something to see. Just as Irish-America took a disproportionate hit on 9/11, it's nice to see Irish-America having a disproportionate influence on this event. Perhaps IrishCentral can do an article about this.

The best news I've heard in almost ten years. My compliments to our president for making a gutsy call - and my heart-felt thanks to our Navy SEALS for despatching this murdering religious fanatic to a very dark place and no 72 virgins in waiting. I admit I'm a bit perplexed at this mission. Bin Laden's military-like compound a few miles from Pakistan's capital, a few miles from ISI and military HQ - and they didn't know about it? Hardly! I'm inclined to believe that a deal was struck with the U.S. - which had made it clear that foreign aid was in some jeopardy, much of which went directly into the pockets of top Pakistani military and ISI officials. Add to this the stunning fact that as Arab Spring sprung all across North Africa and the Middle East, there was not a single Bin Laden banner in sight - anywhere, not a single burning U.S. flag either. The Pakistani gererals did the math, Osama just wasn't worth it - his cause sooooo yesterday. They gave him up - which is why we could pull off this mission with complete certainty that we had our man and equal certainty that there would be no intervention from the Pakistani military. The media hasn't hinted at this yet but it makes sense to me.

how good is this...precision precision!! carried out with great skill ,by brave Americans ,who must have felt the the righteousness of the task and executed same, with justice in mind. Hope Bin Laden rests and when time comes for him to confront his victims..he will be revealed for the coward that he always was, and continued to be, in his earthly life..Good Riddance..

Bin Laden is dead, but I have a sickly feeling that trouble is not over. He has hundreds if not thousands of followers, and will now be regarded as a martyr to them.

This is a long awaited victory for all the free thinking people in the world. For your paper to concentrate totally on it's impact on the Irish American community belittles the efforts of heroes the world over. I have not missed the obvious that your paper is directed to the Irish American community, but I feel that your paper has missed the obvious that this wasn't a victory for any individual ethnic group.

As my dear old Irish Mother used to say "Long runs the fox, but they finally catch him in the end". Congratulations to our brave American Soldiers on the courageous mission accomplished! God Bless America!
