Apparently there have been FIVE meetings with the National Security Council in the past few months before the green light.

Got to make sure you get it right... probably only get one shot at something like this.

Chopper raid... that lasted a total of 40 minutes.

Practiced numerous runs to minimize civilian deaths.

Compound had 12-18 foot walls w/ tons of security.

Found him due to the following:

Courrier tipped off intel.

Burned garbage instead of just putting it out for collection.

$1,000,000 dollar property w/ no phone or Internet.

Overly tall guy.

Something I find interesting is back in Bush's first term my brother was in the Special Forces and their was a discussion going around if Bush woud be reelected and he said of course he would because a big announcement will come soon and no one knew what he was talking about and he said he couldn't say more. Then a few months later Saddam Hussein was captured and subsequently Bush was reelected, not necassarily for that reason but it did boost his rating at the time. Now a year out from Obama's chance to run again Osama is killed.

But I will say about time, I am not sure how much this changes because he was just one guy and has many other guys below him which are just as evil. But it is good to get their figure head.

Also thanks for the shout out GreatDayne

Simply a great day for America! It won't bring back our fallen brothers and sisters, but it will help bring some closure to the victims. If that is even possible.

God Bless America!

I was in Mr. Slack's math class when this started. I was drinking beer and watching the Mets when it ended.

I have earned TWO DEGRESS since this started.

It's over now.

Wow.

The "Geo-Exclusive" logo is really screwing up any real ability to see what the compound looks like.

Agreed,

A nice whisky to rememer those who have lost their life and hope for a more peaceful future.
