Osama Bin Laden Is DEAD!

[ordnance11]

Definitely agree with you on that one.  With him out of the way, Al-Q's lost some serious momentum - their figurehead, so to speak.  While the war is going to be far from over (plenty of 2nd-in-commands to snipe) I definitely feel we've hit a mid-way point.

What BA said. We've reached the beginning of the end for al-Qeada - I'm just worried that the end is going to be bloody... and not just on their side.

To paraphrase Churchill: It's not the end. It's not even the beginning of the end. But it is the end of the beginning. The war goes on.
I will applaud the President's courage in authorizing the raid. It took guts to go through with it without being certain that Bin Laden will be in the compound when the strike team did arrive. I'm betting Tom Clancy and Electronic Arts game developers are in front of their computers right now.
