People in the area love him.
Some of his neighbors are upset he was killed.
The announcement this morning of the death of Sheikh Usama Bin laden has been met with joy in the United States and by other enemies of Islam and Muslims. I would like remind everyone that someone much better and much more significant then Sheikh Usama Bin laden passed away in the past, namely the Messenger Muhammad (saw) and that this never stopped the Jihad nor the spread of Islam to the East and West. Indeed the Messenger Muhammad (saw) said that the day of judgement will not come until a group of Muslims conquer the White House.
Muslims will no doubt feel a sense of sadness that a symbol of the struggle of truth against falsehood has gone (may Allah (SWT) grant him paradise insha'allah) however it is the nature of Islam that it is not reliant upon any individual for its inevitable dominance and its incumbent victory over disbelief and against those who yearn to put out the light of Allah (SWT). Verily Islam is superior and will never be surpassed.

Why do they keep calling it "luxury"? There was nothing luxurious about that brick and mortar building. Unless they were comparing it to a cave.....

It was a heavily fortified compound that cost over one million US dollars.
It was fortified enough that it took the operators 40 minutes to end the engagement and they lost an Apache gunship in the process.

They knew where he was this hole time. Need to save his demise for Obama, to boost his chances of re-election.

Exactly. If this was for the elections, it was way too early.
This simply could not wait until the elections. It had to be done and done now, while we still had good intel that he could possibly be living there. It was an opportunity that could not be passed by.

The intel was not strong enough until recently. We did not have enough confidence to act until now. Even then there were doubts and questions, but the POTUS made the final call and took a huge risk.
