Awesome!

Republicans, Yea!!!

Democrats, uhhhhh?

Is it safe to assum OBL is dead now?

Unfortunately, Al Qaeda is very much like Medusa. Many snakes growing out of the head and every time you cut one snake's head off, another grows in to take it's place. The only way to really stop them is for the entire world to join together, give them no place to hide and cut off the entire head all at one time. As long as they can buy sanctuary anyplace on earth, they will continue to attack.

Of course you all know before the elections. We will have or find a dead Bin Laden, right??

If he was captured in late 2006, why is it today's news?

BIG DEAL!!!!!

This guy was caught in "late 2006". He apparently gave up lots of good info. But still there have been more attacks, and more violence in Iraq and Afghanistan. Nice to get any Al Qaeda terrorists. But this isn't stopping the violence. Hard to fight a war on terrorism when our leader in this fight did everything he could to avoid actual military combat in a real war. Our leader flew sorties safely here in mainland USA.

Why would they buy santuary all they have to do is come to the US and the Dem's will give it to them.

To GWBush republcan democrat who cares we caught him get over it

This is very OLD news. But it really does not matter too much, his replacement is probably already online and operating.

There are too too many operatives waiting in line for these positions.

The "republicans...democrats" comment is really stupid.

Thank you, ABC News, for NOT reporting this capture before now. This is a good example of American Journalism making responsible choices. Thanks for being on the team working for our country's collective best interests.

Bad day for the DNC, sure this mess up a lot of their plans for defeat the Af also..

Another # 2 or 3 in the leadership.

Those are easy to come by. The #1's seem to be a tad more difficult.

Dave seems to think Bush's service in the Air National Guard was weak because he was assigned to a unit in the states.

I was an Army Reservist for almost 30 years, volunteered for overseas service 3 times but timing and unit requirements didn't result in that duty. That's the way it goes. Does Dave think me dishonorable.

Fact is that most Air National Guard guys didn't get moved overseas. It was a decision far above Bush. Seems to me this BS attacking Bush's military record comes from guys who mostly didn't do a thing themselves. Bush was serving when most weren't.

Go on to something real.

really? steph? you think the news media had the info the cia had someone in 2006 and didnt report until now? really? some people are very ignorant. maybe, just maybe the agencies just put out the info now, since any info recieved would have been null and void had they known this guy was alive, who cares about rep or dems, you people all think you are right, some are right and some are wrong. deal with it.

Has the timing of this announcement by the White House, have anything to do with the fact the Senate and Congress have passed a bill starting the withdrawal of US troops by 1st October?

Bill - you stated "Hard to fight a war on terrorism when our leader in this fight did everything he could to avoid actual military combat in a real war. Our leader flew sorties safely here in mainland USA." How are these words AT ALL relevent to this story??? Just more bleeding-heart-liberlist BS...don't be bitter, reconsider.

Al Qaeda's days are numbered. It will be just a matter of time before they are all defeated, sure there will be small cells around the world but nothing like it used to be, kinda like the fools in the "KKK". I guess the terrorists now have to resort to poisoning our pets b/c that's the best they can do!
