And even though I personally despise Obama, no patriot can fail to be grateful to everyone (including Bush, the SEALS, the CIA, Panetta and, yes, Obama) who helped bring this day about.

Absolutely. Though I also despise Obama, credit should go where it's due. Personally, I wish this kill had happened during the Bush administration, but... it didn't.

Our guys had him trapped at Tora Bora, but we entrusted one of the zones to local tribal leaders and... surprise... after two "ceasefires" to "negotiate surrender," bin Laden and his entourage escaped into Pakistan.

Thanks for reply! I always wonder if OBL was really in Tora Bora but if he was that was a major screwup.
