    Thanks. I figured that from the reporter's context, just wasn't sure of the exact title.

    That reporter said over and over how important they were in this whole operation. Couldn't have been accomplished by any one force alone.

    And no US KIAs. Special Forces are incredible.

    Huge spontaneous crowd across from the White House. No speaker, just constantly cheering.

    Its a good for Americans. As others noted, it will be interesting to see how the Muslim world receives this. I suspect, that because Osama killed thousands of Muslims, that true peace loving Muslims will be happy with this. I've also stepped on a cockroach or two myself before and I've seen how quickly another comes out of the wood work to replace it.

    Now for my wish. Bury that b@stard under the site of the WTC, so Americans can walk all over him for the rest of times.

    There probably would have been a bigger role in the bin Laden operation for a modified B-52 bomber, but yeah, pretty much.

    Bin Laden dead? Check. All that needs to happen now is an orioles world series victory to seal 2011 as a pretty awesome year.

    There's at least two Dale Browns.

    One writes military techno-thrillers.
    The other used to coach the LSU basketball team.
    Unless they are the same guy.

    Heh, I obviously meant an author of any sort of thriller.

    Good to hear the OH! when the crowd outside the White House was singing the National Anthem.

    Today is symbolic. But things are not over.

    I just spoke with a friend of mine who assists those who does this testing for one of our intelligence agencies, and at minimum it's an 18-28 hour process.

    Well, there you go, though I'd suspect it's closer to the 18 hour mark than the 28.

    I would rather have seen him rot in an American prison but dead is good.

    I would guess they'd check it several times so they're 200, 300% sure. Probably a couple days.
