Osama was nothing more then a financier and a scape goat. They Al Quida (sp?) haven't needed him in years so his death stops nothing. The fact that the way the operation was carried out (unarmed people being killed including Osama) will do nothing more but bring other people to support the cause. This is one of the biggest mistakes the US have ever made.
The capture of death of Osama was not about stopping Al-Quida. It was about bringing the man who planned the mass murder of innocent civilians, including muslims, christians, atheists, to justice for what he did.
As I said before, I was under no misconception that the ultimate goal of the mission was to kill him.
Capturing him would have turned into the biggest political minefield ever. Plus this would also open the opportunity of hostage situations where the demand was to let him go.
Plus considering who this was, the SEAL team had every right to believe the compound was booby trapped, osama was wearing a suicide vest, his wifes were earing them etc.
This was all about getting the America team in and out as quickly as possible.
Osama is gone, the team got out, everyone is either happy or doesn't give a ****.
And at least this will probably mean Obama will be the President for another term, considering he is the most non retarded president thus far, this is a good thing.
Also, considering the republican alternatives, I prefer Obama.
