Kudos to all who were "up" and made this one work.

Maybe I'm just suffering from Birth Certificate Photoshop Overload, but take a look at the General sitting at the laptop (click on the photo for the largest resolution photo). Do his ribbons seem a little odd? The seem very colorful and overlap his lapel, almost like they were added to the photo after the fact. :confused:

Yup, nothin' like settlin' down in the old leather chair, watchin' Rachel Maddow and listenin' to NPR.

Who says multi-taskin' can't be relaxin'?

Not meant as disrespect. Just pointing out something that seemed odd. Take it as you will.

My brain went to worrying about the political capitalization of this success.

Will the POTUS use this as a reason to pull out of A-stan and thus please his political base?
(corollary: was there an international political debt incurred to do just that?)

Will victory be declared, and demobilization be used an excuse to cut military spending in the imminent budget/debt/deficit debate?
If military spending is cut and entitlements are extended, it will be hard to reverse in the future.

Just got a Email for a good IT friend telling everyone of a Video sent out today with a subject line of: Osama Bin Laden Killing Video. He saying it is a Virus.

True or not.. FYI stay safe!!

Great Day to be an American
 
Brilliantly executed operation by fearless warriors . . . every one should get a medal.

Whether cover fluff or garnered truth, the reports of the left side double tap make me proud to think that in that split second, those rounds had the hearts and minds of every soul that perished from his actions burning red.fucking.hot.

I trust everyone involved in this from the bottom up and left to right will get their just recognition, public or not.

Every day is a great day to be an American. Today we can say both Bravo Zulu and Geronimo-E-KIA. A hearty thanks to our warriors.
