This is no competition. He had three wives at the time of his death and 6 over the course of his life. Michelle's doing all that shit by herself!

I'm torn between a joke about overachieving and a joke about 'typical Americans' so instead here's a gif.



I'd have 20-26 children with that.

Then I remember he had 9,000,000 kids. I wonder if they all got O first names.

Every time I see it I think it says "Osamar" and I hear an old British man saying it and I smile.

I can't help but wonder what people would be saying if Obama did NOT give the OK for the assassination, and had OBL been responsible for another terrorist attack at some point in the hypothetical future, and then it came out that "well, the Americans could have killed him back in May 2011, but didn't." What a shitstorm that could have been.

I wonder what people would be saying if the military had gone to kill (I don't think they ever intended to capture, but only they know) Osama; and Osama and his crew were fully prepared and ended up killing all of the military involved as well as staged another terrorist attack to pay the U.S. back for the attempt.

Who knows, right? I guess anything's possible when all we have to go by is the "successful" outcome.

I firmly believe in "I don't condone in, but I understand." That means that I can truly see why a particular outcome is preferred and accepted. I can even personally agree with it at some level. However, personal opinions and anger over Osama aside, I'm less inclined to say we could've killed someone and more inclined to say we could've captured someone. It's fine that people wanted him dead immediately and believe that payback's a bitch. People just need to understand how there are others who question the legality and even morality of it. That doesn't make those people less sensitive to terrorism, less American, or clueless about the victims of 9/11.

I have to so much agree with you.

That type of celebration is what makes some people wonder when celebration becomes...crazy...and that can add to some people's belief that the Osama killing wasn't absolutely necessary. Since the government and military do a lot of things that the layperson doesn't know about, the Osama killing could have been convenient and desired for nationalist and political reasons. But, we will never know whether it was absolutely necessary. I don't believe it was truly about the true safety of America and our allies, since terrorists don't really need Osama alive to do whatever they do, versus Americans and our allies feeling vindicated and a bit more safe.

More agree. If we didn't disagree so much on other things, I'd think you were my soul mate.

I said twenty because if there is a team involved, the person raises a weapon at the team, and the team fire at him all at once, then that can pretty much add up to something around there. I'm not talking about one cop unloading more than one pistol into some guy.

@IrishLake, they've said that Clinton had opportunities to kill him years ago and didn't:
