I was just happy the bastard was full of holes. My daughter was 13 days old on 9/11 and that was some really awkward uncertainty to people all over the US and world. Finality was welcome. Know I'm not alone in saying that.

My nephew was born Oct 1, 2001. We've been at war his entire life.

It's pretty sad to think about.

The burial at sea was sketchy as frick. I’m not saying that he wasn’t killed, but I simply don’t fully buy this whole story.

Hard to imagine unity even over something like this in the present day.
It was hard to imagine then under that administration.

Kept the jihadist’s from making his grave a shrine. There are communists who travel to Marx’s grave.

And it still isn’t over.
ETA:You people really need to read Enough Already by Scott Horton to see just how much of a shitshow the War on Terror has been.

Yet it took Obama two years to accomplish what Bush never did in seven.
Funny that.
Funny that.

Clinton could and should hsve done it in a day, but he was too much a pussy to pull the trigger.

It sucks Bin Laden wasn’t killed at Tora Bora 10 years earlier.

In the end, many of us will go the same way as Bin Laden - in the dead of night, surrounded by our porn stash.

We will be more like the Soviet Union in 50 years than 1990's America.

To be fair some guy did take down and burn the US flag that was flying over the war memorial at LSU that night. Cops found it the next day.

We may have killed Bin Laden but he won anyway because 9/11 was a cultural and political flashpoint that seriously damaged and changed this country forever and we're worse off now than we were on September 10th.
It radicalized everyone some way, some how but most importantly, it radicalized the US Government and we've been bearing the brunt of that and will continue to do so until this country collapses.
Bin Laden had nothing to do with that. This radicalization has been going on since the late 1700’s. The French Revolution was against the “privileged” classes - the hereditary nobility. The situation was that the nobility owned and controlled everything. Commoners had to pay tolls to use the roads, and did not own the fields they worked. They were kept at bare subsistence levels and there was no upwards mobility. It was a truly repressive system.
“Radical” thinking asserted that if a man was notoriously evil we would not call his descendants evil. So why, if a man does something so great that we grant him nobility, do we call his descendants noble, even if they are evil? The French Revolution called the noble class “Privileged” and demanded an end to “Privilege”.
The French Revolution led to the Russian Revolution and to Communism. The term “Communism” came from the French Revolutionists in the Paris “Communes”.
Note that today, in America, the radicals are fighting against “white privilege” in spite of there being no institutional white privilege. In fact, the only institutional privilege in America is antagonistic to white people and almost exclusively exercised on behalf of black people.
The woke revolution has borrowed the terms of the French Revolution. The latter fought against a truly repressive institutional suppression of the “Third Estate” which was the bulk of the people. The Woke Revolution fights against the very meritocracy that the French Revolution sought to impose, and is really the manifestation of the self hatred that an increasingly large amount of dispossessed westerners have. We have lost our civilizational will to survive. This is why we are perishing.
It’s ironic that one of the left’s heroes, Karl Marx, made famous the saying that history repeats itself, first as tragedy then as farce. The 18th century French Revolution against privilege was the tragedy; the modern, mostly American, revolution against white privilege is the farce.
All of this has been germinating in our universities long before anyone knew who Osama Bin Laden was.
Tl;dr: GFY!
