GET SOME!
So we took down Osama. In person. JSOC troops put lead downrange and blew that waste of carbon away. I said long ago that my fondest wish was that the last thing bin Laden saw in this world was a grinning US solider. Sometimes dreams come true.
Best part? We've got the body. Early reports are it will de disposed of secretly, to keep his burial site from becoming a rallying point. Which means he's not getting the traditional Islamic burial rituals done.
What's really interesting is the news that he was living in a mansion in Pakistan's capital. Time for us to really lean on that nation and their dodgy intelligence service. Hard.
This is like us killing Yamamoto during WWII. It didn't end the war, but it deprived the enemy of a master strategist and a powerful symbol. This does the same thing.
The absolutely best part about today? Watching the wingnuts tear themselves to shreds trying to attack Obama over this.
