    New York and DC streets are filled with people celebrating, singing the Star-Spangled
    Banner and other patriotic songs, chanting USA-USA, and singing "na na na na, na na na na... hey hey, goodbye"


    Pretty awesome.





    And I'm going to gloat. The moment I heard about the news conference, I joked with one of my squad leaders that it was about Bin Laden... Then Geraldo brought it up after talking about a bunch of BS, and then it was confirmed. We both dropped our jaws at that and had a good laugh.

    Oh yes! I was glad it wasn't natural causes!

    This should be a time just to remember that we accomplished something that needed to be accomplished,and lost some very good people in the long process!

    Re: BO surprise address to the nation...9:30pm?

    My thoughts (only heard about it this morning):

    1. Good riddance!

    2. But this is not the end of the road, merely a milestone.

    3. Presidents, regardless of party, have little to do with things like this. They give general directions and guidelines (with the exception of the LBJ White House), but mostly they leave it up to the military to plan the details of the operation. They do sign off on it though, and for that I give Obama credit. Goes to show why we do not need to be downsizing our intel services at this point.

    4. Glad it was up close and personal and not a missile.

    5. Anybody else find it rather odd that we buried him at sea? While I do not want to make him any more of a martyr than he already is, I think this allows all sorts of conspiracy theories to flourish. At this point (and hopefully more will come out about the why's of this action) I do not feel that it was a smart move on our part to do this. I would have preferred turning the body over to the Pakistani or Saudi governments for verification and burial. And I know that Islam has very strict requirments on how quickly burial must take place after death, but I feel that could have been accomplished within the time period.

    6. Going to be interesting to see the world reaction over the next 72 hours on this and how this is reported around the world, especially in the Middle East.

    7. How do the Paks respond to the fact that he was living not in a cave, but very near the capital?

    8. Good riddance!

    I'm not sure any government in the area wanted to take the body. Just imagine all the terrorists who would plot to snatch the body of OBL.

    Regarding #7, not only was the compound close to the Pakistani capital, it was located in the same town as three army regiments, thousands of Pakistani soldiers, and half a mile from one of the country's top military academies.

    Way to go USA military and all the ops both sucessful and unuscessful that it took to get him. The blood and sacrifice of our troops and families are a testament to to the greatness of the USA military. Godspeed to our troops and way to go Navy Seals. Job well done. Stay alert and God bless America!
