Reflections on ending Bin Laden.

.
I'm sitting here, watching the coverage of the confirmation of the death of that son of a bitch.

I'm watching the people in DC and Times Square, based on the words of the President.

With one exception ("Today, at my direction?" But... we've been told OBL has been dead for 4 days.  WTF?) I believe the president's speech was reasonably well done.

Will this become a political issue?  Will BHO want the credit for getting UBL?

I'm listening, again, to Obama, which I typically don't do given his previous difficulties.  Is this a turning point for him... for us?

Bin Laden bin hiden.  We got him, though under what circumstances is hard to say.

And Pakistan knew where he was all along.

Now what?

    Of course it's a political issue. Democrats never let anything like this go by without politicizing it.

    If you recall in 2006, when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Al Qaeda in Iraq leader was killed, Bush was scorned for that too.

    Accusations of he was beaten, mutilated, shouldn't have been killed, you name it.

    Democrats opposed Bush saying t hat bin Laden was "Wanted, Dead or Alive."

    And now they high five each other?

    MSNBC reports this was set in motion under the Bush administration with intelligence gathered in Gitmo in 2007 and grew from there.

    So yes, it is already politicized.
