It is a moral victory and a PR asset for Obama but nothing more. Israel has been doing this for years (while being criticized, where the US will not be). It is a hindrance to the other side, but has little effect on the grand scheme of things except when used politically. The only use of this event for a major change is if Obama declares that the US "won" the fight against terrorism and make it an excuse to pull out of Afghanistan as "victorious".

It does more than that. It sends a message that if you attack this nation, we will get you.

We will not forget and we will not give up, ever, and sooner or later we will get you.

Already heard and read a rumor that the SEALS that killed Osama were "Team 6" which doesn't really exist but did exist but isn't really a team but more of a figment of Cold War mythology but really did exist but never really materialized but...

Anyway which ever group of those boys that smoked him deserves a few cases of the cheapest cold beer to be found near their AO.

An image circulating on the Internet and displayed on some television news programs abroad purports to show Osama bin Laden’s bloody corpse. No U.S. or Pakistani officials have confirmed its authenticity, and two U.S. officials have warned NBC News that the image is a hoax.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I view it as a good thing, but obviously not a discussion for this bbs, especially this General Discussion.

They probably don't want to release who actually carried out the mission because they don't want them and their families to be the targets of retaliation.

Bubbleheads on TV askin ‘do you feel safer?’

I do not.

I am sure the Taliban and their murdering thug pals
would love to drag America and her friends kicking and screaming thru the streets.

I am just as sure they will be shot for doing so.

Safer?
No.

Vindicated .. releived .. glad ..
..a little disappointed we could not perform the quaint British rituals
done to an individual that pissed off a Nation.

Heck I heard they’re not even gonna put him on a stake at ground zero for the buzzards.

Ah well .. s'ok,

Still gonna be a great summer!

You know as much as I love the listening to some of my buddies who are on a sports talk radio show here in town all they can talk about is how thankful we should be for the invasion of privacy that is airport security and how much we should just continue to live with it since its been happening for so long now.

While I like the feeling of being secure we are far from secure in the sense that most citizens of the USA think we are. There are plenty of ways that bad guys can get into the country and plenty of ways to bring bad things into the country to create devastation.
