That was a beautifully staged scene. The camera, and how Obama just powerwalked into the scene through the long shiny hall. That looked real good. Obama's moment of triumph.

Re: OSAMA BIN LADEN DEAD
I hope Obama now gets to do the "Justice for all" part of his declaration and congress will move swiftly on terror trials (real trials). This should get Obama enough political clout that he can push this through congress if he truly wants to.

NBC is reporting that it was Navy Seals that carried out the operation, and that a Pakistani helo may have been involved.

No shit? That's quite the coincidence. Eight is even a relevant number.

Re: OSAMA BIN LADEN DEAD
Another thing that spoke to me was the fact that Obama authorized a ground operation within Pakistan with our special forces - that's fraught with immense risk and danger politically.

It helps that there was an actual triumph involved. Compare that to shrubby's stunt with the aircraft carrier where all we'd done was steamroll the conventional forces of a nation that wasn't even involved. Our forces got the main man behind 9/11 on Obama's watch, years after the righties "war president" referred to him as irrelevant. This must be seriously sticking in their collective craws.
After I get done celebrating the fact that Osama is dead, I think i'll lurk some more right-wing forums and drink their tears. I'm certain they will be...........delicious.

Abbottabad is pretty far from the Afghan border, as a matter of fact it's practically next to Azad Kashmir.
Wonder how much Pakistan was in on the know then.

Exactly. Now we get to see once and for all if Obama was just caving in because of the political atmosphere, or because he really doesn't give a shit about human rights.Thanas wrote:I hope Obama now gets to do the "Justice for all" part of his declaration and congress will move swiftly on terror trials (real trials).

As a layperson I wonder, how much will we be told about the operation itself and the organizations involved, beyond Obama's brief summing up?

And it only took most of a decade! Ah well, come 9/11 I'll knock back a drink for vengance and it will taste sweet.
So... now what? Where do we go from here? Nothing about world politics has seriously changed, though public opinon at home will. So, Return to Normalacy, or Brotherhood of Nations?
I doubt many details will be forthcoming.
