I'm in shock.

This is a giant win for US troops, but I doubt that the war is going to change much at this moment.

Actually, after hearing the Obama speech, I've decided I don't want to be a jerk tonight. Maybe tomorrow. But not tonight.

Took long enough!

But yes, time to celebrate.

I'm curious about the details. Obama said there was a firefight. Did they capture or kill any of the people who were harboring bin Laden?

I think if Obama gets blamed for the piling debt, he should be allowed to take credit for this one.


That said, and having just watched the speech (nice speech by the way), he REALLY doesn't hold back in taking credit for it. Oh well, relish in the moment, who can blame him?

Absolutely nothing.  He had multiple replacements.

If nothing else, I really liked how he ended it with part of the Pledge. That doesn't get used often enough.

Not sure how to feel about this.

On the one hand, great. Al Qaeda's figurehead is gone, and the families affected by September 11th get some well-deserved closure. On the other hand, Al Qaeda have slowed down to a crawl in recent years, and this is going to stir up a hornets' nest that hasn't long since calmed down. Martyrdom is a big thing to Mujahideen.

I don't know, the way the American public at large are celebrating this like Al Qaeda is defeated and everyone lived happily ever after just... doesn't sit right with me.
