Obama Kills Bin Ladin!

Check Obama's ratings tomorrow - bet they just skyrocketed.

Why is dancing in the streets embarrassing? They didn't get you on film doing it in your own home, VL.

This delicate and extremely dangerous operation was pulled off without a flaw. Amazing!

A real Mission Acomplished Moment George Bush and the Republicans could only dream off..

It is a real coup - no doubt about that.

It's ridiculous to celebrate it like that....It's not a "yay, our team just scored" moment in my opinion. We are classier than that aren't we?

You don't consider one of the US helicopters crashing a flaw? Luckily, no Americans were killed.

But yes, this is even bigger than the raid on Entebbe. This happened in a populated city and involved US helicopters and yet they were able to infil apparently without alerting bin Laden or his security force. US forces were on the ground 40 minutes before the exfil, my nephew in the service tells me.

It's turning out to be a lot bigger than I thought it would be. It seems to mean so much to people for some reason.

The presidency is assured for Obama in 2012 now.

I carefully considered that before I made "my without a flaw" comment, and I don't. Like you said, nobody died- We got plenty of Helicopters

The mansion that bin Laden was in had no phone and no Internet, apparently to escape detection. It had 8 to 12 foot walls topped by razor wire, my nephew says. There are fires burning in and around the mansion currently.

Obama ratings will last until everyone refills their cars gas tanks and their unemployment runs out.
