It’s a little hard to hear but in the second half of the CNN clip you can hear the crowd singing “God Bless America.” A number of sites are saying that the crowd is singing the National Anthem, but to me it sounds more like “God Bless America,” with the distinctive refrain heard around the :50 mark as the flag waves:

Bin Laden murdered civilians, men, women and children. He changed our lives in America and not in a good way. The Arabs cheered a murderer. We cheer for the death of the murderer. There is a big difference and those that cannont see will forever be blind to right and wrong. Thank you Presidant Obama, President Bush, the military, the wounded warriors.

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 9:05amTruly pleased that Osama is now rotting in hell. Truly grateful to all our warriors in uniform or not for what they accomplished. But other than the success of the mission, what happen here was that Obama (America hater and economic terrorist) very reluctantly threw his brother Osama (America hater and violent terrorist) under the bus, in order to get a better chance of really destroying America by destroying its economy. It is clear that Obama could not avoid sanctioning the mission. He had no interest in protecting America, but he could not be seen to let Osama go as Clinton did, if he wanted to continue to destroy this nation. Sober up America. Enjoy Osam’s death but watch the other enemy in the Whitehouse.

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 2:42amSo you know, I am proud to be American and share in your enthusiasm to such an event! Please do not lose your faith or hope in your fellow brothers and sisters because so many of us are scrutinizing you. The American people have been used and abused for years and years, and now are starting to question the very authority that has abused them. Do not take these comments personally or let them take away from your enthusiasm! People are just distrustful of anything related to government or politics (with good reason) more and more lately, and are acquiring a much greater sense of urgency and situational awareness. Many of us are in the beginning stages of this new awakening and are like an abused animal that strikes out at all who come close regardless of intentions. I am just saying that the people who criticize you love your country as much as you do they are just very concerned about where things are headed. I must admit I cannot blame them for filtering every bit of information that comes out of Washington. Have faith in your fellow man and keep fighting the good fight! God Bless!

They were probably at the bar saw the news realized the white house was a few blocks away and bam, hence they walk to the white house to cheer. You can‘t say if you weren’t a young college student you would not do the same. I do agree with seeing the signs but after a hour and a half the signs haven’t appeared they probably got lazy.

I suspect the show is more than puppet, but your skepticism has many roots and therefore is very reasonable. DC is surrounded and inundated by many of our finest and best… in much need of letting off a lot of pent up frustrations. They deserve a chance to celebrate American Exceptionalism, regardless of political leanings. The WH is simply the logical place to make the show, in spite of the residence, or to throw the residence a bone, to give a little pat on the head, well done.
I found the announcement to be far more worthy of skepticism. I think it is the only Presidential speech I have listened to in its entirety, in the last 2 years. Surprise, surprise, it sounded, dare I say it, Presidential. I’d also say it sounded kissy, kissy, Bushy, Bushy. With poll numbers reaching new lows, 2 years on the job, its about time this guy sounds Presidential… harking back to Bush like style, or even Clinton. It is a neat trick that will ease the downward turn for a few days. Too bad he had to play the hand now, on the backs of our great Seals, and he could not wait until Oct of 2012.
They say the body is in our hands. Is not burial required within 24 hours, according to that faith? What will happen? What will happen? He has already ticked off the Pakistanis for going in over their heads in speedy fashion… will he tick off the religion for not finishing the job under foot, in timely fashion? Will the grave be unmarked and undisclosed? Why not make the burial plot in Arlington so we can take pictures of all the mourners? How far in the eyes of the World will this winner of Peace go, to win back America? My guess is, short of resignation, he is a looser.

Regardless, he deserved to die, but this is very weird how this all went down. Like others, something is just not right. Even those who were interviewed and lost loved ones weren’t like these college kids. I am 36 but in college, so I know how these kids think, this doesn’t feel right at all.
This isn‘t like when we defeated the Nazi’s in WWII. I can’t put my finger on it, but these kids were only 8 years old when we were attached, I just can’t figure out how this is so meaningful to them. Not taking away from the significance of it all. I am surprised they haven’t released any pictures or proof this was Bin Laden. Yet, they already threw the body in the sea and the compound is being burned to the ground. I don’t know, maybe I just don’t trust this guy in any way and am feeling biased. Even my Mom, who is a Democrat, seemed to care less, aside from a Wow. I think just because she felt she had.

I am a Marine, and as I was joining in with some fellow Marines in the singing of the Marine’s Hymn, there was a crowd of your so-called “UnAmerican” college age kids chanting “Support Our Troops… Support Our Troops.“ There was a couple that had a sign that said ”Bring The Troops Home.” Myself and some of my fellow servicemembers took pictures holding our flag under the sign because they weren’t against us, they were against the war. It doesn’t matter how old someone was when the towers were hit, I was in 8th grade and I remember it clear as day. The ages and political ideals were cast aside for one amazing night, and for you to sit at your computers saying that these people were paid or ordered or coerced to be there is preposterous. They were coerced though, by the patriotism they may not wear on their sleeve, but they feel inside.

The hunt began to narrow several years ago when interrogations of Guantanamo Bay detainees produced the nicknames of a pair of highly trusted couriers, used by the captured 9/11 architect Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and Bin Laden, who had learned his electronic communications could be monitored by the U.S.
