A classic for sure.
Obama and his administration deserve the credit for authorizing this
raid and the successful outcome. I am struck by the irony though.
During the last presidential campaign, all we heard from the Prez and
the left was how bad and evil the Bush team was for their prosecution
of the war on terror. Yet the Obama administration has now basically adopted
the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld template for fighting these bastards.
Oh well, whatever works.
I hope this sends one clarifying message to the terror thugs in the world;
no matter where you are, we can get you.

Frankly, so did a lot of people I knew at the time. I was in the Navy, CB (SeaBees), and there was a lot of head scratching going on. We felt like 'Excuse me, we aren't finished here (Afghanistan).
