Woo hoo!

While I'm personally very pleased to see this happen, from a "justice served, mixed with revenge" perspective...I unfortunately don't believe it will have any actual negative impact on al Qaeda. I think the largest value from it is that it does show that we will doggedly pursue you until we get you if you bloody our nose in the manner that he did, and that is valuable. But typically, terrorists (even those at the top of the food chain) aren't particularly concerned about that.

I certainly have the highest respect for those military members carrying out the operation, though. Very impressive not to lose a casualty.

a bit less impressive when you consider he was unarmed my granny could lead a flock of sheep into a similar mission and not take a casualty..

I'm curious: who would be killing bin Laden in that scenario? Is your Grandmother carrying a weapon, or did she train the sheep to hunt and kill terrorists?

your comments might not be QUITE so lame, Restrepo, if you could spell words like "sushi".....

Everybody on this site aren't from an English speaking country Cardinals i bet there are people in the US who can't even spell the word "Sushi" and dammit that joke was "hilarious".

HA!

There will be nay-sayers about anything, but the fact is, flying a covert operation into a sketchy middle eastern country takes big brass ones.
