I’m happy celebrating here on FR. I will be celebrating in November 2012 when the Usuper-in-chief is defeated. That job is harder now, but not impossible.
I just think that many of those celebrating in front of the WH were protesting our actions in Iraq and Afghanistan not that long ago. Somewhat ironic, no?

Well I don’t know about that.
But I do know that I am very proud to see American flags being waved and USA being chanted outside of the White House on the day Bin Laden is killed.
I don’t really care what party they voted for in the last election right now.
There will be plenty of time to get back to politics.
Let’s rejoice tonight and give thanks to our military who made this happen.

Even more ironic. I predict that within a week, these same people will be out there with signs saying, "Bin Laden's dead, WE WON! Bring the troops home now!"
I'm not sure whether to expect an immediate response from AQ, or whether they will pull something big in the future, on a significant date (maybe 9-11-11). If they want to wait, they will probably be more successful. American's will go back to sleep now, ignoring terrorist threats. For the next few weeks, with Bin Laden fresh in our memories again, we might be prepared for immediate retaliation. However, long term, we'll be letting our guard down. Especially with the current occupants of the (half) White House and DHS.
