They thought that we would rue it. They doubted we'd do it. But now they must admit it, that succeed we did.

First, let's just be happy. Let's feel a burst of joy.

Let's not be boring people who Consider the Implications. Let's not talk about the domestic political impact. For just a day let's feel the pleasure history just handed us.

Note to Peggy: If you'd stop being such a stranger, people would notice and post your wonderful editorial pieces sooner.

"The white plastic pinpoint light illuminates his throat and gums. It looks like the mouth of hell.

That mouth looked RED! I don't know if it was a trick of the lighting or if he had one HELL of a mouth/throat infection!

"And a particular group of soldiers led by a particular U.S. army officer did it.

I don't know who the officer was, and I don't doubt he was very competent. But I watched Major General Odierno give a briefing and I sure as hell wouldn't want to piss HIM off either!

"All the journalists and politicians, they are always embarrassed to feel joy when something like this happens."

Aw shucks, just y'all come to FreeRepublic. There are no such inhibitions here.

I was wondering what Peggy would have to say. I love her way with words. I think she's been working on a new book, and hasn't been posting as many columns of late.
