we vs us

So they carried this through from a tip last August to a full fledged operation 9 months later -- today! -- that resulted in no loss of American life, no collateral damage (that we know of), and not only the death of Bin Laden but the recovery of his body.  That's pretty much a 100% win.  The lesson, I think:  we can accomplish what we want when we set our minds to it.  

Also:  it's really fantastic to see people gathering spontaneously at the White House and cheering.

I made this comment elsewhere, and I will make it here...

Just because you cut off the head of the snake, doesn't mean it won't still bite you.

Yes, but, the Muslim world is ancient and symbolism is very important to them. This is a huge symbolic win for America against Bin Laden's death cult version of Islam. This is huge.

Obama was very Presidential tonight. Gave credit to those who deserved it and reminded us what the War on Terror is all about. Kudos.
I'm glad to see there are some on the far right that gives a sincer compliment here, not a backhanded one.

I hope that this renews america's interest in destroying the entire snake.

Getting Osama Bin Laden is good. It is not the end of our struggles.

In the mean time

Osama = 0
Obama = 1

Congratulations and I mean it.

Meanwhile, here comes the conspiratorial theory from the far side.....of the left.

Bin Laden Dead, Says Obama

from the comments:"My point is that this so-called "news" about the assassination of Osama Bin Laden may be simply another myth in a murky game of psyops"

Reportedly....Says.... code wording for conspiracy...

I know one poster on here who uses a doctored Obama gif in his sig line.  Thought I'd post another one up that's very similar:

Yeah, that would be why people in Pakistan were reporting some kind of major operation last night (relative to Pakistan).

I love the Dutch and their language:

Props to multitasking:  Obama was releasing his birth certificate and memorizing his Press Association speech while he was giving the order to take out Bin Laden.  That's some respectable bandwidth right there.

You must be an Alex Jones fan, and a birther and a truther. When presented with actual evidence, you spout conspiracy theories, and rely on others that share your thought, instead of doing your own research. So, who wrote your term paper in high school?

And along those lines, here's another funny Photoshop job..

That's a man who is savoring several layers of delicious irony right there.
