I'm in Iraq at the moment...and will be in Europe in two weeks. We expect to get rocketed tonight due to this world event. We're definitely alert.

We are all happy Bin is gone but don't think you can rest assumed we are all safe? Actually we may not be a safe as you think: God only knows what retaliation might occur from this. It is truely a glorious day, just don't think OBAMA did it all. It tooks years of planning and the help of many.

I think it depends on where you are at and what you are doing.

Well i agree with the first part of what you said.

But i NEVER stopped feeling safe. I felt no less safe on 9/12 than i did on 9/10. I don't live scared. I saw 9/11 as something that simply happened, but i never assumed that i was anymore in danger than i normally am.

I'm glad the bastard is fish food now but, as pointed out, his cronies are still out there. Still, that's three world tyrants to meet their end ~ Bin Ladin, Hussein, and hopefully Ghadafi very soon, and I think the world is better off without them.

If there is a Hell then they can join Hitler and Idi Amin for a perpetual BBQ ~ pork!

Not a good idea, living so near the Mexican border.

Though I do appreciate your thanks to Obama. Word is, ObL was found through the assist of Guantanamo detainees. Hmmm, that's not really volunteer duty. So, how did they get that info?

Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion: The Irony Grows Deeper - Key Intel Came From Enhanced Interrogations In Secret Prisons

Obama and his supporters, who opposed the secret intelligence operations and interrogations as illegal, now are reaping the political benefits of those operations and interrogations..
My how politics have changed in the last few years..



So, yeah. Thanks Obama, for waking up to the realities of the world.

And pissed off like a nest of hornets. We killed one terrorist mastermind and created another in Gaddafi. Islam might forget this in a thousand years or so. They are still pissed at Britain about the crusades. Human history repeats itself and we never actually solve the problem.
