There are some American heros out there somewhere, away from their families, eating dust and MREs. God bless our guys and gals in uniform.

OBL was living in a mansion in Islamabad. Someone in the Pakistani governmant was hiding him. One does not live incognito in a mansion anywhere in Pakistan.
It was up close and personal. Wonder what OBL thought when he was attacked?
Many thanks to our fine troops.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families who lost loved ones in the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks, United Airlines Flight 93, and to all Servicemen and women who have given their lives for the War on Terror. God bless 'em all......

The thing to be concerned with now is the reaction from the Arab/Muslim world. Many followers of Islam may be relieved that he was finally apprehended, and perhaps they can move on. Our new concern is "His martyrdom." Many will use this as a call to arms. Just the other day they had a child as a suicide bomber. I would not be surprised if not the death of OBL was not used as a holy recruitment of sorts.
Be very aware that the threat of terrorism is still very prevalent and a real threat to our modern day society. We can be very proud that on the front lines of our nations security are countless men and woman willing to do what is necessary to allow us to live in this great nation the way we do. Bless all of them.
