    Apparently (and unsurprisingly) outside of Islamabad.

    Obama is supposed to give a speech soon.


    (I don't think this qualifies as "politics" so much as current events)

    Weather or not that changes anything remains to be seen. Personally, yes its a good thing, but I don't think it will affect much regarding terrorism.

    It won't change anything. You can't kill an ideology.

    But you can hold a person responsible for his actions, and I suppose he has been.

    Our guys never gave up. Persistence pays off. Apparently it wasn't some "lame" Predator drone strike, either. It was a ground op; doods with guns!

    Though, one is left wondering just how long the Pakistani government knew he was there before their arm was twisted enough to reveal that info...

    The real question though is why do people think this actually changes anything?

    It doesn't change anything and nobody is saying that. We've been trying to do this for almost 10 years, we aren't going to say "yeah whatever" after all the time and money and people we sacrificed.
