Lets just celebrate that for a little while.
Everyone who's worked on this over the last four years deserves all the credit. From Presidents Obama and Bush down to the CIA worker at the bottom of the totum pole and all in between. Big ups to Obama, too, for not telling the Pakistanis (and members of Congress) about this operation so nobody would get tipped off. That was a crucial decision.
All eyes now turn to Pakistan. How can the government not see someone who lives in a hilltop mansion over city slums not and figure its someone probably important. More and more we need look at them and away from Iraq and Afghanistan for anti-terrorims efforts.
Bin Laden is a symbolic kill, but nobody in any level of government better not take too long a victory lap because there are a thousand maniacs behind him now ready to prove they should be the leader of this movement. We need to stay focused as a country on this.
There are hundreds of thousands of Muslims warrant close watching. The Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated many of our institutions. Gerry Connolly even cozies up up to CAIR, a Muslim front organization with known ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization that seeks to impose Sharia law throughout the US.
There is no such thing as moderate Islam. That would include those Muslims who pose as Republicans. David Ramadan comes to mind. As does Grover Norquist.

"All eyes now turn to Pakistan. How can the government not see someone who lives in a hilltop mansion over city slums not and figure its someone probably important."
The U.S. should turn its eyes inward, and its citizens should question the actions of its own government.
Given all the drones sent into Pakistan over the past two years, how could the U.S. have missed this? Did they? How could the U.S. have missed something like this, when it has intrepid diplomat/CIA supergoons, like Ray Davis, operating in this theater?
Bin Laden has been dead for nearly 10 years. This is just official notice that the U.S. will soon unveil a new Emanuel Goldstein for yet another two minutes of hate.
