GREAT news! If we can get the brother we can get BL.

Let's hear it for the drones! Happy Memorial Day!

Because we've absolutely, positively never ever heard this story before:

Jesus, the last one was from 2005. They really do think that ALL of us are brain-dead sheep.

Nice try, Oceania.

Look at the monkey! Yes it's the Chewbaca Defense again... lol you can't make this @!$%# up.

If you pay me 7 figures I can come up with better propaganda for you... CIA.. Mossad.. are you listening?

Great news for the USA. #3 down and out! It will be extreamely hard to replace this guy, I mean COO and CFO; two birds with one stone.....I mean Drone!!! These thugs may live in caves, but they seem to have access to lots of money.

Now to get #1 and #2, I propose we send a few HOT AIR baloons;speciffically Limbaugh and Beck ect... NOT!!!

Fact is, there are doers and then there are talkers. Doers get the job done, whereas talkers just shoot the breeze.

Virgo - they're taking applications right now for #3. I'm surprised these people keep filling the spot. Pretty soon we will have taken out every al-Qaida operative and by killing #3 a few thousand times.

Another on bites the dust! I cannot WAIT until Bin laden's head is on the end of a Marines' bayonet!!

Call me a skeptic but what real tangible proof do we have. Al-Qaida's word for it? Frankly I am surprised that they did said we managed to kill Osama and all the top leaders a long time ago and then have them go into hiding directing the actions deep behind the scenes. What better way to get your enemy to stop looking for you than to make them believe they killed you, wait a while to make it look like your organization is crippled and then strike hard and fast, when and where they least expect it?

I for one hope for nothing more than the complete and total annihilation of Al-Qaida's leadership and will be glad if I am wrong on this. This may be the truth based on classified facts that our government can't release or it may be something to make us drop out guard or simply propaganda to make use feel safer by our own government. Without solid proof there are to many variables to be ruled out for me to relax just yet.

B.I.H. Bi- otch !!! I hope your 72 virgins have penises!!

this guy must have 9 lives or something. this is at least the third time he has been reported as killed by a drone. good thing americans have extremely short term memories and dont research anything, otherwise the MIC propaganda machine would stall and lose support of the sheep. i wonder if anyone even knows that bin laden was reported dead years before the 9/11 attacks by both china nd russia. Oh yeah, everybody lies except for the US govt. this convenient amnesia displayed by the public is only indicative of how dumb-down society is. most people can tell you the names of jon and kates 8 kids but not where the middle east is on a map. 1984, brave new world, v for vendetta; sometimes I think writers play with us just to see if anyone gets it.

So #6 becomes#5,# 5 becomes #4,# 4 becomes #3 These guys are like the mafia;shoot one and another one pops up.This is a small victory.

A small victory is better than no victory at all !!!

His cell phone must have fizzled after the strike, or maybe one of his daughters or wife was wearing a nano chip without realizing it. I wouldn't harsh the guy. I mean, getting taken out because of a nano chip isn't exactly royal.

Guess who's getting killed first? Good-bye, sheist-for-brains. Progress is for Progressives, not Regressives.

I wouldn't celebrate just yet. It's probably propaganda. Where's the proof? And I'm sure there is someone else at the ready to take his place, if it is even true.

This is actually a good thing. He was the one that kept the money straight. Not the easiest spot to replace. Misappropiated funds cause delays in operation.

A lot of people seem to be under the impression that this report is a "lie" or "propoganda".

Provide a single shred of evidence to back up that claim or shut up. This is America, celebrate the killing of the 3rd ranking official of our greatest enemy, which is responsible for the loss of 3,000 lives on our soil and thousands more across the globe, or you're no better than the terrorists who deny the deaths of their leaders too!

Face it, Obama's drone campaign is working. We're absolutely decimating Taliban and Al-Qaida members hiding out in the mountainous regions of Afganistan and Pakistan. Under Bush, those mountains were strongholds, and we couldn't touch them without great loss of life. Now? They're cowering like dogs inside their cubby-holes.

God Bless America!

good point, Ash. we've been hearing #1's and 2's for a long time. And it does seem to get repetitive. I can't help but think, however, that in taking out such high ranking members we might be making a dent in the morale of al qaida. maybe, maybe not. at least we are doing something in a war that is becoming seemingly lost.

Keep dropping those bombs, keep climbing up the latter to the top.

Reading some of the posts here makes me think people are catching on. So, OK, #3 is killed but he'll soon be replaced.

Just in the same way #2#4#6#7#9#54#77#89 and so on have already been replaced.

Does this mean the US is going to forever stay in Afghanistan wasting good American flesh for no good reason?

And in the meantime you have these yahoos going, "Yeah, kill them all!" Wow.

Over 58,000 American soldiers were killed in Vietnam trying to prevent that country from going communist, but they failed. They failed m-i-s-e-r-a-b-l-y.

To this very day Vietnam is a Communist country. But did that make a difference to any of the countries surrounding it? Or to Asia in genereal? Not one bit.

58,000 wasted for n-o-t-h-i-n-g.

5800, so far, wasted in Iraq and Afghanistan. Stop it already, will ya'?!

I know that it's off the subject but, what is it with the dent in the fore heads of the Al Qaeda upper echelon ? Too many hammers in the head given by their religious school leaders when they were kids? Poor eye coordination while in the process of bowing forward, and slamming their heads into the floor at prayer? Playing with loaded guns? What gives?

Haha terrorists. This coward never thought he would never be caught or killed. Pakistan better wake up because the further inland the cowards will go so will the US. The whole border needs to be cleansed. It may slow them down a little but as long as there are woman and children the voilence will never stop. I am glad this coward is gone. I bet osama heard the explosion. IN PAKISTAN.

It feels like we're inventing positions for these guys... Bin Laden is more of a figurehead than a leader. Zawahiri is who we should be after.

The Truth1

Now, if we can kill all the left-wing sympathizer idiots that also hate America, we'll really be making progress

If that doesn't earn a permanent ban, then I've lost a lot of respect for this site. There's freedom of speech, and then there are veiled death-threats.

One less slime ball alive to desecrate the planet. I may not believe in much Obama does, I do here. Keep up the drone attacks, expand them into Yemen on a regular basis, maybe we'll get that American traitor imman.

Great too see that THIS administration has taken the task of killing al-Quaida seriously!

We are in for it now,
Masri wasn't given his Miranda rights prior the his death.

I'm sure AL Jazeera is claiming 20 civilians were killed.

It pains me to hear about the virgin thing as it pertains to radical Islam. These people believe that Jesus was a prophet for their religion. Don't they think it is a bit hypocrytical that Jesus taught tolerence, love for your neighbor, and peace. Where as Mohammad was nearly entirely opposite. I don't believe Jesus stood in front of countless numbers preaching about the availability of virgins in heaven.

Seems to me, In under two years with the strong leadership of President Obama, more of the top Al-Qaida’s are being killed off… One by one… But I don’t hear the republican tea-party praising him for a job well done…

It’s only a matter of time when our troops will get Bin Laden and the other filthy flea bags…

The righties wrap themselves in the flag and bible, While the Progressives do the dirty work and get the job done…

The U.S. did not want to publicize the death until al-Qaida had confirmed it, which it did Monday.

These are the same Al-Qadia "leaders" who were on national TV, loading their possessions (10 years ago) and vacating Afghanistan as their base!

Anyone believe the US wants to win this "police engagement" or is it that the US Military Industrial Complex needs the revenue generated from "fighting" a "endless" war?

ESAM and JK from PA,

So you believe that the drones only fly during the Obama admin. You guys are really amazing sheep.

open_minded,

The challenge you put forth is like double edged knife, it cuts both ways. We have had many previous news reports that this guy has been killed before and yet he seems to live to die another day. When I see his remains identified by a credible source, and backed up by physical evidence, then I'll believe this.

If you want to believe everything you read; have another drink of koolaid, be happy and feel safe. I for one am waiting for the next 9/11 as I believe (a) Obama want us to believe what he is doing is working or, (b) Al-Qaida is playing this country like a fine tuned fiddle. Just stringing us along making us think we are really destroying them little by little and waiting for the right time to spring their next attack. These petty attempts at the recent bombings? Doesn't it bother anyone out there that they were so small and carried out by relative idiots who were so easily caught?

Osama feared Bush.....Period.. Not before 9/11 but certainly after 9/11 which is why we had no more attacks. Obama he is testing and lulling into a false sense of security. When the time is right he will attack, this much I would bet money on. The only three things I am unsure of is when, where and how much worse than 9/11 it will be. I am just glad I am dumb country boy who is smart enough not to live near a heavily populated area as I am pretty certain that it will be somewhere vital to our economy that is hit next. With Al-Qaida training in Iran it is a safe bet that nuke(s) may well be involved in the next attack. As sorry as Obama is at securing out southern borders Al-Qaida's operatives could simply walk or drive across the border with the nuke(s) and we would very likely not know it until it is too late.

Al-Yazid was al-Qaida's financial director and ran its operations in Afghanistan. It was al-Yazid who shortly before the September 11 attacks transferred several thousand dollars to Mohammed Atta, the leader of the 9/11 hijackers.

Is this a true statement or is it like the health care death panels?

I mean read the next paragraph"

His death has been mistakenly reported before, but this is the first time it has been acknowledged

Mistakes in journalism has become too excepted, they don't even care about their accountability any more. Look at the low standards of fox, so it's okay for a few here and there by the rest?

Well all I have to say is that the lies in congress have been too excepted also. The GOP now needs to explain how Bush kept us safer than Obama and scared you into wanting the patriot act, etc, etc, etc. When Obama has killed more "terrorist", made up word for actions to further corruption, than bush did in both terms. Can you really tell what Bush was focusing on? Deceiving you, corruption and all the rest he did against America. It does take examples to show the truth but not to the GOP for some reason, as corruption has won the war with people paying the price as usual.

Good. One less. I love the defeatist attitude of the left. "It won't help so why even try" is their motto.

Good NEWS!! We should put MORE explosives on those things!!!! Keep up the good work boys!!!

Not bad; for a Search and Destroy mission.......

Kill them all! Let Allah sort them out.

U.S. spy planes, drones fired five missiles that struck three houses in the village of Saidabad, located near Land Mohammad Khel.

"Three houses were completely razed to the ground in that attack (al-Yazid) was living in one of these houses along with his wife and children," Yeah let's hope it was his house,Wonder how many other women and children we're killed in this attack. Our government is dangerous!

msvicky...sure....we should never try to kill our enemies...we are the source of all the worlds problems.....(sarcasm)

So number three is dead. Well lookout for #1 but don't step in #2. Good job Drone.

As someone who despises just about everything Obama has done since taking office, he has done a much better job than I ever would have anticipated in regard to the War on Terror. Before Bush left office it was obvious the war needed to be taken to Pakistan. I didn't think for one second Obama would have the guts to do this. So on this one aspect of your presidency alone Obama, Good Job! Who would have thought?

Isn't it interesting since Bush left office, we don't hear but a token peep from the anti-war left. I guess their opposition to war has been exposed as nothing more than politically motivated, situational, and subject to the party affiliation of the POTUS.

msvicky... are you serious? Where were you on 9-11??? There's always a bunny-hugger in the group.

Aw C'mon......... Who in heck are you trying to B.S. here........Y 'know them people are like roaches........ya kill one, and there are several immediately fighting over his job........

if bush was president the headline would be. US kills 9 innocent villagers including the wife and infant children of local official. then the body would say something like

Today the pentagon claimed that an attack on 3 residential houses may have resulted in the death of a high ranking al quada official. The ap has confirmed that a woman and several children were in fact killed in the night time raid.

so who decided this guy was number 3? i mean we know osama is number one and alzahiri is number 2(pardon the spelling) but as an american citizen i wouldn't know this supposed # 3 from a cab driver in jersey. any bets on rather he was promoted by the us government to make it seem like a really high ranking kill.

does this mean they took out the talibans equivalent of Nancy Pelosi? they will be crippled now.

His death has been mistakenly reported before, but this is the first time it has been acknowledged by al-Qaida, whose statement added that his wife, three of his daughters, his granddaughter and other men, women and children were killed.

I really hope they got him this time but al-Qaida saying he is dead is about as credible as a convicted felon, who you actually saw commit the crime in question, claiming they are innocent. I do not question that one of our drones blew up 3 huts and that there were even possible people in at least one of them, but what proof do we have that we finally got "Al-Qaida's number three, and Osama bin Laden'sbrother-in-law" this time with his death reported by the same sources so many times before? It still say they are testing POTUS Obama to see just how gullible he really is.

Incidentally the wife and kids bit was probably thrown in to make the U.S. military look like murders who kill "an innocent woman and her kids." You can bet they will play that one to the hilt at a time of their choosing. Probably to attempt to justify their next attack on the United States.

Well one more of the Anti-Christ's (Mohammed) followers is dead, I say good riddin's. Keep up the good work with the drones. Sooner or later #1 and 2 will get careless and boom, they'll be gone too.

"The United States is a non-Muslim state bent on the destruction of Muslims."

Just think of it as early visitation of your 7 virgins.... Smile :-)

Those that are saying that killing this guy will have no effect have no clue how important he was to the organization and activities on a day to day basis. This would be the equivalent of killing Steve Jobs and acting like his next subordinate could fill his shoes,this was a major knife in the heart to the terrorist

yay! finally making some headway here. now kill the rest.

Al-Qaida keeps recruiting and the drones keep on killing. Hey Bin Laden we are coming to kill you and as many Muslims as we can and for every one of us you kill we will kill a thousand of you.

Oh allahkabababa, give the rahead his virgins....what is this?? No virgins?? I Keeeeelll you Osama you creton liar...may allahhhkabababa pee on your brains you filty cave dweller

oooh so fun hehe

moments before Al-Yazid's death he was heard saying "dirka dirka dirka jihad dirka, I have nothing to fear, praise be to Allah, who will protect me from the infidels!. Dirka, dirka. what is this sound I hear? holly $#itz, why is Allah helping the infidels, I must have been wrong, i picked the wrong side to be on, dirka....

The Truth1

Now, if we can kill all the left-wing sympathizer idiots that also hate America, we'll really be making progress

More good news for America that angers the fringe right.....

Way to Go, ObombA! Got this one right! No complaints.

NOPE!! Not till every last RAT is dead!!

yup its over osama just surrendered when he found out that even his number 3 guy wasn't safe. I heard he snuck into arizona and has been trying to work his way to chicago where he can register to vote and insure that obama is reelected in 2012.

the third in command is the equivalent of the extra ground force guy on Star Trek. we have captain kirk, spock and ensign Sa-id Al Masari.

Lol.

Magic Moulinyan

Racist much?

Racist?! heh, so what? How 'bout, stupid and counter-productive, much? Anti-American fools, what they is...

Magic Moulinyan............. Isn't that the Judge on People's Court?

No no no... you're confusing him with Judge Fudge

Sorry, wrong link, this is better for Judge Fudge

Funny thing about Satan (ego) worship, it's really quite wide-spread and powerful, and Satan is the Prince of Lies.

Funny how his acolytes know him by another name, and didn't think we'd know their lying Prince wouldn't, well, y'know, lie about that too. They can call their Light-Bringer Christ all they want to but it just doesn't make it so.

Oh no, wait, it's this one for Judge Fudge, honest this time.

GOOD LORD!!! LOL!!

exactly. this really means nothing, but its a good moral booster

LOL, he won't be humpin' any more camels. Nothing but worm food now.

But he will have 72 camels to hump where he went.

Let em keep filling the "Towel-Head" voids.....We've got a drone factory working over-time and we'll keep taking out the biotches. These dumb mo-fos, all they know is hate and murder, so let's give it to em!!!

You know it says nothing about 72 virgin girls. It could be 72 virgin camels.

actually he has been reincarnated as Smurfette and is currently fending off the advances of handy smurf.

We'll turn you into a good republican very soon.

This may be nice, but al-Awlaki's the only one who counts right now...

Baby steps, my friend, baby steps. We are further along than under old Georgie. It would have taken years more, for results under him.

I agree! Now if we can kill all of these worthless throw backs including bin ladin! That would be great!

Still the coward in his death hiding behind his women and his children. Let us pray his virgins are men.

What do you want from someone who worships the Anti-Christ (Mohammed).

Exactly,

Where are their heads and body's and or parts for actual corroboration.

Anyone that believes any of this propaganda is just begging to be fooled.

Is Shawn Jones a real person os an Alinsky/obamabot talking head?

Rich - what are smoking?

Hey rich, why dont sign in with your real name: Rusty Shackleford

Drone idles in front of a group of muslims and asks, "Excuse me, but could you direct me to the

residence of a Mr. Osam bin Laden?"

tiffany...It is probably an update to the story I read but this coward was hiding behind wives and children. Sadly, there were children killed.

Oh well it sucks but so did all the women and childeren getting killed on 9/11

Better idea; Lets play Cowboys and mexicans

You mean the legal aliens that perpetrated the 9/11 attacks? The ones with Visas, the visas that were renewed months AFTER the 9/11 attacks?

Do you really want to be like them that badly?

As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

The US government will never admit OBL is dead. As soon as they do, the remaining support for this war will evaporate. Of course, most of the people that think he is alive live in the US. The rest of the world knows better. Not that it matters anyways, we never actually really went after him. Ask "Dalton Fury" - he was actually one of the guys tasked to get OBL.

or we could sew Osama head onto the body of a pig and make sure it is seen everywhere

Yes, because killing America's enemies is a bad reason to vote for a president......blue falcon.

But while you are in school all nice and safe, guess who is payin for the check. Its Memorial day. Think about it? There is a war going on.

Sooo he can't win? If the U.S. gets military victories than its for votes. If he doesnt then thats obviously a problem as well. With these kinda "citizens" no wonder this country is f'd up.

"Virgins with hot sauce please."

If youre a main stream muslim (there are no radicals)and get blown to pieces, do you still get the virgins, or do you get virgins in pieces?

HOT wings!

they get 72 year old virgins
