I heard about it in the morning so I immediately poured myself a shot of Jagermeister and saluted the Seal team. It seemed the thing to do...

Happy Killing Osama Bin Laden Day everyone!!! :)
This may be the one thing everyone here can agree on. Maybe we should exchange gifts? I'll give pawelj a nice leather bound copy of the Bible :)
Jägermeister in the morning?!!??

Ha!
That was the year that was. We were down OBL, Muammar Gaddafi, and Kim Jong Il. Axis of Evil... semi-neutralized.

Now let's scratch Unkim, Assad, and the Iranians and we can get back to a nice bipolar world of the US versus Russia.
If it weren't being used as a piece of agitprop and young men were not still dying, I'd celebrate.
While it's great news that UBL is dead the fact is one of our biggest "allies" in the region has fingerprints all over helping him hide.
QuoteOne year since U.S. commandos flew into this Pakistani army town and killed Usama bin Laden, Islamabad has failed to answer tough questions over whether its security forces were protecting the world's most wanted terrorist.

^ That was fairly clear from the get go. Not sure what can be done, if anything, about that.

Well, my vote is to quietly find those folks and cut the brake lines on their cars as they commute through the mountains.

Cutoff the billion or so dollars you all send over there until they cough up answeres or people.
In principle I agree.
The question is, "who gets that money?"
I'm not naive enough to believe that only our friends do, but I would hate to think that, say 75% of the good guys get the money, then we cut it off and our true allies (if they exist) are the ones more hurt.
As much as I am reluctant to say it, it's a black box and we almost have to trust them to do what is right.
(and I'd put a ROLF smilie here if it weren't so sad)
The days of Pakistan being a US ally are at an end. I think at all levels they are merely using you for the money.... hoping that will keep India from steamrolling them.
^Definitely agree there.
Pakistan was never our ally. They used us for money...we used them for access.

Why the past tense? Aren't we still largely in bed with them?

Looks like we did do something like that in the past (I at least hope we did). Bottom line is that three Saudi princes and a Pakistani General all implicated in 911 all dead within a couple of weeks.

I had a fraternity brother whose nickname was Fozzy Bear. Not that any of y'all really care, but I thought I'd share. You'd never know it by talking to him but he was a bona-fide savant. Never went to class, never read a book, aced all his math tests.
Anyway, carry on.

We could threaten to allow India to steamroll over them and block China from interfearing in the rolling process. That should put the bejesus into them. Or on the smaller scale US could mention that "maybe" Kashmir does belong to India, and if they don't behave the "maybe" becomes "definately".
Ya gotta love the 2 minutes of hate
