Can we hold the Presidential election right now?  I am feeling rather DGuller-ish about Obama right now.

Just saw the speech.  I was expecting a predator drone.  This sounds like an Operation Spring of Youth thing.  I'll be damned!  Now all that is left is Obama to tie his body to the rear of his chariot and circle Islamabad.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I bet Petraeus is really pissed that he didn't get to order the CIA operation.
EDIT: Though the news is unclear whether it was CIA, military, or both.

I was thinking it was a pity Obama did not get him alive.  Then he could have marched him behind his gilded chariot during his Triumph.

I think the fact that they didn't use a bomb and used raid indicates that Obama actually hoped to capture the man alive.

I wonder if there's any chance Osama took himself out? Supposedly he was shot in the head, and supposedly there was a firefight.

Poor choice by Obama throwing around God so much at the end of the speech in my opinion.  Nothing makes Muslims happier than having religious grounds to be pissy.  Of course the far right here will think he was talking about Allah anyway, but...

Or maybe he just wanted him really dead and be really sure.

Apparently he was offed a week ago and they've been doing DNA testing in the meantime to confirm.  The Donald still does not believe and demands a death certificate.

I don't think they would have made such an announcement without checking silly porkchop

It is a nice symbol, to have put the hands on ben Laden but it won't change much on a day-to-day basis. Still, a nice coup.
