    Kudos to Presidents Bush, Obama and all of the people who made the death of Bin Laden a reality. May he rot for all eternity.

    God bless our service men and women, and especially those who caused that evil, deluded, mass murderer to finally reap what he sowed. God bless America!

    Our President showed true class by notifying both former presidents Clinton and Bush about the news earlier this evening. We all had a stakes in seeing this piece of garbage being thrown in the trash.


    USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    There is no "AT" or "NT". We only have "market acceptable" or "not market acceptable.

    Oorah - buried at Sea AKA no one will ever see him again. If I was Obama I would want the opportunity to see him, to be sure. Maybe even drop him onto a ranch in Texas from the air.

    << <i>

    << <i>Fox news is reporting the ******* is dead. >>



    I had to confirm this with a credible NEWS station and it is correct. >>



    How about MSNBC.................


    In an attempt to release the news of Osama bin Laden’s death quickly late Sunday night, MSNBC correspondent Norah O’Donnell accidentally reported on Twitter that “Obama” had been “killed” instead.

    “Obama shot and killed,” Norah O’Donnell posted on Twitter, citing NBC Chief Pentagon Correspondent Jim Miklaszewski as her source.

    It was announced Sunday that Osama Bin Laden, who orchestrated the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, was killed by American forces. President Obama addressed the nation to deliver the news around 11:30 PM EST.

    O’Donnell later removed the post.

    It's been too long coming. I like that it was a US bullet to the head that got him. Now, maybe he'll wind up as shark poop.

    I know people that lost family in 9-11, as I'm sure many do, so maybe this can help ease the pain.

    I hear "The Donald" doesn't believe Osama's really dead, and is demanding to see the long-form of his Death Certificate!!imageimageimage

    (Plus, he's pushing the "You Only Live Twice" conspiracy theory, which has Osama's body picked-up underwater by a Taliban submarine, where he's brought back to life ........) image

    October 10, 1805 - Modern Clarkston, Washington. The Captains wrote information about the Indians and made lunar observations. "The Cho pun-nish or Pierced nose Indians are Stout likely men, handsom women, and verry dressey in their way, the dress of the men are a white Buffalow robe or Elk Skin dressed with Beeds which are generally white, Sea Shells - i e Mother of Pirl hung to ther hair and on a pice of otter Skin about their necks hair cerved in two parsels hanging forward over their Sholders, feathers, and different Coloured Paints which they find in their Countrey Generally white Green and light Blue. Some fiew were a Shirt of Dressed Skins and long legins, and Mockersons Painted, which appears to be their winter dress, with a plat of twisted grass about their necks."

    October 13, 1805 - 7 miles northwest of modern Starbuck, Washington at Lyons Ferry State Park. It was noted by Clark that Sacagawea was a token of peace for all Indians encountered on the journey.

    October 16, 1805 - Sacagawea State Park, modern Richland- Kennewick - Pasco, Washington. Pryor's canoe struck a rock while running the rapids; the Corps reached the junction of the Snake and Columbia rivers. The Indians danced around the Corps, who smoked with them and traded for food.

    October 19, 1805 - The camp was across the Umatilla River from Umatilla, Oregon. Hat Rock State Park, was sighted by Clark. The Captains gave a medal to a chief. Cruzatte played his fiddle, which delighted the Indians. A long description of Indian customs was included in the journal.

    October 21, 1805 - Camped near the site of modern John Day Dam, Washington. Collins made beer from roots. The Corps bought wood and breakfast from the Indians.

    October 25, 1805 - Moved up to the "Fort Rock Camp" at The Dalles, Oregon. The men rode the canoes down the rapids, and broke out into a calm, wider portion of the river.

    Nov. 3, 1805 - The Corps camped on Diamond Island, three miles west of modern Camas, Washington - As the Corps made their way down the river, they were accompanied by Indian friends and guides. Pvt. Whitehouse recorded: "we proceeded on the River verry wide better than a mile in general. a number of large Island &c towards evening we met Several Indians in a canoe who were going up the River. they Signed to us that in two Sleeps we Should See the Ocean vessels and white people &c &c."



    Nov. 7, 1805 - Camped opposite Pillar Rock, between Brookfield and Dahlia, Washington, west of Jim Crow Point. "Great joy in camp we are in view of the Ocian this great Pacific Ocean which we been so long anxious to See. and the roreing or noise made by the waves braking on the rockey shores (as I Suppose) may be heard distinctly." Although they were really only seeing the Columbia Estuary, the men of the Corps were certainly happy to be near their goal.


    Nov. 24, 1805 - Today the famous vote was taken on where to spend the winter; every member of the party voted, including Sacagawea and York. The Corps voted to cross to the Oregon side of the river where there were reputed to be more elk and a site along the seacoast to make salt could be established and possibly await the arrival of a trading vessel.

    Dec. 7, 1805 - Fort Clatsop was established.

    Dec. 9, 1805 - Near modern Seaside, Oregon, a saltmaking cairn was established. Gass wrote that they "found the ocean 7 mi. from camp, hunters killed an elk & saw 50 more."


    Dec. 25, 1805 - Fort Clatsop, Oregon. The explorers celebrated Christmas; all the men were in their huts and exchanged gifts; they had a bad Christmas dinner. Clark recorded: "at day light this morning we we[re] awoke by the discharge of the fire arms of all our party and a Selute, Shouts and a Song which the whol party joined in under our windows. after which they retired to their rooms were chearfull all the morning. after breakfast we divided our Tobacco which amounted to 2 carrots one half of which we gave to the men of the party who used tobacco, and to those who doe not use it we make a present of a handkerchief, The indians leave us in the evening all the party Snugly fixed in their huts. I recved a present of Capt. L. of a fleece hoserie Shirts Draws and Socks, a pair Mockersons of Whitehouse a Small Indian basket of Gutherick, two Dozen white weazils tails of the Indian woman, and some black root of the Indians before their departure"

    January 1, 1806 - Fort Clatsop, Oregon - This New Years day was a miserable one for the Corps; they could look forward only to New Years 1807 and hope it was better. Soaked with rain and plagued with fleas, with little fresh meat and less palatable food, they were indeed miserable. Even the feast of New Years was composed of the usual elk meat with wapato root washed down with water. With little to do except try to obtain the necessities of life, Lewis' journal entries turned more and more to long descriptions of the Indians and plant and animal life. A recurring entry stated that "Nothing of consequence happened today." General Orders establishing military discipline in the fort were issued today.

    January 8, 1806 - At modern Ecola State Park, Oregon. Clark and a small party saw a whale that had washed up on shore, which was nothing but a skeleton by this time, the Indians having used every part of the animal.

    March 23, 1806 - Fort Clatsop, Oregon - Clark recorded that ". . . we loaded our canoes and at 1 P.M. left Fort Clatsop on our homeward bound journey. at this place we had wintered and remained from the 7th of December 1805 to this day and have lived as well as we had any right to expect, and we can say that we were never one day without 3 meals of some kind either pore Elk meat or roots . . . " Drouillard and a party of hunters were sent out ahead, and the two pirogues and three canoes began the return voyage up the Columbia River.

    Thats just it, I have our founding fathers blood running through my veins! I would give anything to make sure that the greatest country in the world got the justice it deserves. Im not dumb to the reason his name will never be released. Im just saying ever since the USS Cole at 12 years old I wanted to get that man. I enlisted in hopes of fighting in Afghanistan and my heart gave out at basic Training which sent me packing. Ironically I am able to try an get a waiver for it on May 10th.
