I really do try not to respond to the garbage written on this web-site but sometimes you commentators write with such arrogance and stupidity and outright misrepresentations my head wants to explode and I have to respond. First of all I am proud of what Obama did to Bin Laden, but once again other than this one thing he is the absolute poorest excuse for a president this country has ever seen. Now for your partisan crap:
Two of your quotes: I am happy we finally have a commander in chief who was a strong enough leader to pull this off. President Obama was able to get to something important done in two years that President Bush couldn't do in eight.
I think that it will take years to destroy all the al Qaeda cells spread across the world.
Put the two together, the finding of Bin Laden started years ago, it was the work of our intelligence and military that found him. Obama allowed him to be killed, Obama did not find him. The garbage you wrote is demeaning to our intelligence and military organizations. If it had not been for the work that was done under Bush, and the fact that he was willing to put his neck on the line with the interrogation techniques this would not have been possible today. Bush risked his neck to help keep partisan idiots like you safe. Obama would not have done that. In reality, Obama was just lucky that Bin Laden was found during his administration. I am glad that he had the balls to allow the killing of Ben Laden, however it does amaze me that Obama and all of his supporters will talk about the cruelty of water boarding, and would not have allowed that, now are praising Obama for allowing Bin Laden's head to be blown off. Once again I am not criticizing Obama for the killing, I am glad he did, but to me water boarding is much more humane than blowing someone’s head off. Now you admitted that clearing out the terrorist cells will take years. So now when our new Republican president in 2012 has the members of other terror cells killed in 2013, are you going to write that he was able to do in one year what Obama couldn’t do in four, or will be writing how it would not have happened without the work of Obama? I suppose you will be struggling for something else that you can say good about our current, until this week useless president, that you will be still be still trying to prop him up.

The reason bin Laden is a hit with orthodox Muslims is that he emulated Islam's founder and prophet, Mohamed.
Of course, Osama, even with modern technology, wasn't able to kill a fraction of the number of people his prophet/mentor did. But he did give it the ol' Islamic try.
Now, I have a question. Why is it ok that we dance with joy in the street at the death of bin Laden, but it is a BIG no-no to condemn or even ridicule Mohamed who murdered, enslaved, raped and tortured thousands of innocents?
Just curious.
p.s.
You know Brad, you may want to check out a history book occasionally. After all, Mohamed was a historical figure. While you're reading you should compare Mohamed's deeds with those of Christ. That way you might be able to understand that not all religions are created equally, and that God is not a matter of subjectivity. It really is quite obvious if one devotes a few moments of logical thought, devoid of p.c. brain fog, to the issue.

You are border line a danger to reporters and authors , both of which you are not . You are a liar .If after all the evidence and people saying enhanced interogations ( water boarding ) and the Bush / Cheney policies led to the killing of Bin Laden ( and yes Obama making the call ) you still spew your crap , you shouldn't get a paycheck .
No more than a leftwing kiss as- .
