I'm actually not a fan of the big, public celebrations in the street. They remind me too much of how the muslims in the middle east were celebrating 9/11.
Pakistan is terrified right now. They've just been shown to be complicit with Al Qaeda while collecting money from us. Now would be a great time to host the Indian Prime Minister for a State Dinner to send a little message.
Sure, but there were folks in our intelligence agencies toiling for years to track this bastard down and 40 SEALs that risked their lives. I wouldn't give President Bush much credit, either.
Well I would hate to see this event trigger WWIII, in my mind that would only give more power to a now dead asshole. Instead I would use this as leverage behind closed doors to squeeze the shit out of the Taliban and any remaining cells of AQ in Pakistan. This is an opportunity for US intelligence to turn the ISI into an asset rather than a more entrenched enemy. Basically we were taken advantage of financially, but in the end we got the guy we wanted.
Yep. I'm certain there are some very uncomfortable conversations going on between US officals and the Pakistanis about putting up or paying the price.
Was there ever proof that he had something to do with the 9/11 attacks. I thought it was an over whelming majority of terrorist were from Saudi Arabia. Kinda' like all the WMD that Iraq had. Regardless, glad to have this dirtbag off our planet now!
Hell no. That would have been HUGE for Bush who as we all know, took shit relentlessly for the wars that resulted in little success. He wanted it BAD. Can't get over how fishy Pakistan smells right now though. I can't imagine Obama got clearance from Pakistan, if he let Pakistan know I can't see it staying under wraps like it did.
