Bin Laden's Death Will Not End the War on Terror

Peter,
Thank you for restraining your "political instincts" and, instead, writing a fine article that is certainly a realistic perspective of the repercussions of Bin Laden's death. When I watched the President's announcement last night, I wondered how soon it would be before the "conspiracy theorists" whipped themselves into yet another "frenzy." I see by the comments on this page, conspiracy theorists are still "alive and frenzied."

uh, I am not sure what the point of this article is ? Killing Osama did not end terroism...duh...I don't think that Mr. Roff is really telling anybody anything. Seems as though he is just grasping for somthing to say that isn't quite positive. Way to go roof you succeeded. Next time, don't waste the space and time.

Somebody out there know who killed Hitler.
Navy Seals do a cleaner job then this fake photo on the internet.
This burial at sea is a joke. If Osama was dead there would be real photos and the U.S. would be glade to show them, this is the number one criminal in the world and we cannot see a picture.
That something in the water is not Osama, we need to stop drinking the water. This Obama government think he is going to pull the wool over our eyes weed need to be sent him back to thug city, chicago.

I personally have not seen enough proof that this action has taken place and it is, or was infact Bin Laden, when we captured Saddam it was on national tv, for all too see, who was more important that we catch?, i would say Osama, I would say us Americans need more proof in the pudding.

Al Qaeda was attacking America before GW Bush became President
“On December 29, 1992,[1] the first attack by Al Qaeda was carried out in Aden, Yemen.[2][3][4] That evening, a bomb went off at the Gold Mohur hotel, where U.S. troops had been staying while en-route to Somalia“

You said " War on Terror " , hope your counterpart Stiehm does not read that you might be called a name or two yourself .
Reality really sucks to the left .
Once again , thanks to the Seal team , our military and the Bush - Cheney policies that made this happen and to Obama for keeping those policies going . I also hear a little water and a board helped .

It's good that we got him and all, but really, did we have to run out and announce it BEFORE we analyze the intelligence gathered at the mansion?
Seems a bit... amateurish to me. If at all possible, we should have delayed an announcement until the intel had been analyzed and any terrorist cells revealed were "dealt with" before announcing to al Qaeda that certain plans need to be changed.
As for those who think this was a re-election ploy by Obama, it's not. He'd have saved it for October 2012 if that were the case.
