GO TEAM!!! Sorry I duplicated this post just deleted the other one.

(CNN) -- Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the worst terrorist attacks on American soil, is dead, officials said -- almost 10 years after the attacks that killed about 3,000 people.
The founder and leader of al Qaeda was killed by U.S. forces Sunday in a mansion in Abbottabad, north of the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, along with other family members, a senior U.S. official told CNN.
In an address to the nation Sunday night, U.S. President Barack Obama called bin Laden's death "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al Qaeda."

"Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan," Obama said. "A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body."

A congressional source familiar with the operation confirmed that bin Laden was shot in the head.
A U.S. official told CNN that bin Laden was buried at sea. The official said his body was handled in the Islamic tradition, but did not elaborate.
Half a world away, the scene outside the White House was one of pure jubilation.

That's awesome! I love the sudden spark of patriotism last night and into today, but it shouldn't take his death for us to show it and bond together.

Hoping it's not like 9/11 when we lose that patriotism after 2 weeks.

Picture of President Obama and his inner circle watching the operation live to kill Bin Laden.

I can imagine the reaction as they went into Bin Laden's bedroom and saw his face for the first time, then as he was shot dead.

I'm so glad that WE killed him and he didn't die of natural causes.

AMEN TO THAT SISTER!

I turned off the Phillies game before the announcement was made. I would've loved to have heard the fans chanting USA! USA!

OMG! We got him!

The SEALS did the old double-tap tango on his head What I would have given to have been in the room watching live!

Rashard Mendenhall (Pittsburgh Steelers) not only tweeted that he didn't understand why people we're celebrating his death, he also came out as a 9/11 conspiracy theorist.

He's taken too many hits to the head as well.....

Does anyone think that the team had orders to take Bin Laden alive if possible? If you do I have some property to sell. My gut is that the only thing they wanted to leave with was a body. And just to make things clear....I"M JUST FINE WITH THAT

I got it from a very reliable inside source that the real story is that when Seal Team Six found him, he was in the bathroom with an iPod dancing in front of a mirror. He was wearing bright red lipstick, high heels and panties. He was saying, "Who's a pretty girl?" , "Osama's a pretty girl." The team burst out laughing and the weapon accidentally went off. Rumor is he was listening to the Thompson Twins, but that has yet to be verified.

Beware the fake photos out there. I actually agree with President Obama on not releasing the pictures. I just don't see where it gains us anything.....
