What's there to say about the killing of Osama bin Laden? It's a great victory for our military, the best military in the world. He'll have to face God and account for his actions. Lots of political posturing going on with both sides. Relief and closure for some 9/11 families. Probable backlash from the muslim world. Expectations that we should pull out of Afghanistan. Proof that waterboarding works.... the first piece of intelligence in the chain that led our troops to bin Laden was gotten that way. Obama came off as an arrogant jerk in his announcement last night "me, I me, I", but then again, he always does. Vindication of the Bush military strategy that Obama followed but the leftwing media will give Obama all the credit. Obama will likely get a bounce in the polls, but will it last? Look for this to be a prominent feature in next year's election. Pretty obvious Pakistan was protecting Osama.
Big question... lots of cognitive dissonance regarding the "muslim" burial given to this murderer. We are told that he is an extremist who perverted this peaceful religion, yet we give him a proper burial?? If he wasn't a "true" muslim, why give him a "muslim" burial? Do we think that muslim "extremists" are going to care that he was given a proper burial?? I do agree that preventing a grave from becoming a shrine was a good idea, though. Some muslim clerics are saying it wasn't proper anyway. These people cannot be pleased, ever. I think Obama owes the public pictures/videos, for closure and to help keep the crazy conspiracy wackos from gaining a foothold.
