just thought I would mention it in case anyone has missed it...It took us long enough though

(thumbsup)
Better late than never! Well done.

A decade, trillions of dollars, Obama, and American lives. Worth it. :

time for #2

showing cattle can be extremely political...nobody seems to mind when it is discussed here (pop)

HOO-RAH he got what he deserved- a double tap to the head. Thanks to the people who made it happen-our own kids in uniform.

dose this mean that gas prices will go down at bit?

Congrats to everyone envolved with geting this done.  Today is a good day to be a American.  Oh and did I miss something or did he change his name from OSAMA to USAMA???  That is how FOX was spelling it last night and this morning.  Anyways USA USA USA!!!  I bet Obama wont close Gitmo down now. 

.. God Bless Our Troops

I was wondering the same thing this morning

Very interesting how and where Bin Laden was found.  He was hiding behind Obama's birth certificate.  Thats how they found both last week!!

God Bless the US of A!!

With all the unrest in the middle east that's probably not a likely outcome. If there is any retaliation the prices could go higher!

Interesting that bin Laden was in a compound constructed in 2005 at a cost of over $1 million and located a half mile from a Paki military academy and the operation was carried out just as Obama is starting his campaigning.  Hate to be a cynic in time of good news, but there is something politically smelly here.

Ya think? The thought entered my mind also.I asked my wife how long do you think  they had him like  this , an ace up their sleeve?

Actually if you want to go there, it coincides with Leon Panetta being moved from CIA director to Secretary of Defense quite nicely.  The man has done a pretty good job at the CIA and there was been a subtle uproar about him going to Defense department, but this should really have al Qaeda worried, bc now the man the organized taking out the head honcho, is going to be in charge of the largest army in the world.

Gas prices are probably not going to change ;D his death will probably bring another attack to the USA, their is lways another crazy one.

I heard Rush on the radio say that they have known or strongly suspected he was there since last September and there were multiple meetings before yesterday confirming and making plans... How it was kept under wraps that long with all the leaks these days I'll never know...But yes the change in the CIA seems a little timely...

For something of this magnitude, you can be certain that a full-scale mock up of this compound exists somewhere that these soldiers/sailors have been training at.  We were only going to get one chance at it.

You can be certain that we struck it as soon as we knew Bin Laden was really there.  We were only going to get to do this once.  It's obvious the Pakistan military (at least parts of it) knew about this place and sheltered him.  We couldn't launch an assault like this and let it fail.  Pakistan has no choice but to go along with it now and play dumb since we got him - had it failed there would be he** to pay for us essentially invading them.

I don't think any criticism of Obama or anyone else in the administration is warranted.  We should be as happy for Obama as we would Bush.  I was pleased that Obama called Bush to let him know we got him.  In all honesty, a lot of credit should be given to Obama for keeping Gates as Defense Secretary.  Not many presidents would have done that.

I'm guessing Bin Laden's idea of the perfect funeral didn't include getting fed to the fish.

I figured we'd get Bin Laden someday, I never figured we would know for sure and certainly not actually get his body.  Politics aside, our military - under a long line of Republican and Democrat presidents and congresses - has developed (through government contracts) and utilized some amazing technology and soldiers to let us pull something like this off.

Very well done Chambero, I agree completely.  They may have "known" he was there since Sept. but they don't like to have a screw up in this case.  They probably watched his every move in there and if they thought he was going to get away they would have finished him then.  Lets be honest, the whole entire story would be very interesting but if we know 5% of it I would be shocked.
