Yeah, the political call to dispatch him on the spot was a
no-brainer. Not for any politician who wanted a chance at re-election.
The real heart - the hard
work and amazing
bravery in this story - is that exhibited since 9/11 by the intelligence community, military (including first and foremost that incredible team of young Americans that landed and administered ultimate justice) and all of those unknowns who did their part
and kept their mouths shut!
Now America doesn't have to pay the blood and treasure involved in capturing/securing, transporting, imprisoning, prosecuting and maintaining that thug medically for the rest of his miserable days, all the while Al-Qaida exploits every minute of it!
I have heard a couple of reports that the firefight didn't last that all that long, but that the most of the time on the ground was spent scrubbing the residence. It looks like a tornado went through it in those pictures!
May 1, 2011 is a day we need to celebrate forever as a small token of remembrance of what all those wonderful Americans did! My Flag is flying!
