So, great decision, great operation, and a great day for our country.
UBL has been an itch in the back of my head since 9/11. It was constant unfinished business, and the way that it was finally finished, was just so satisfying to me... to me this is a big moment in and of itself.
I heartily agree with Lil Mike! Words cannot truly express my admiration for the brave men that participated in this mission. The fact that there were no US casualties, despite the loss of one of our helicopters, is amazing.
That being said, I was dismayed while listening to the Love Doctors on WPB Real Radio today. As you may know, that show is an open forum with un-screened calls. For hours there was a steady stream of Obama-haters and conspiracy nuts. Their message was mostly the same. The president is a socialist and a Muslim! The claim of OBL's death must be a hoax designed to boost Obama's popularity! Most of these callers refused to stay on the line to discuss the subject. Those that did all had a similar argument: a)Obama=Bad, b)OBL dead=Good. Since "a" is absolute, "b" must be false. To me, this is an insult to our troops and I hope none of the men who risked their lives in this operation were listening to the show online (The Docs often read emails from our troops).
