Or at least that’s the report out of Washington. It took almost 10 years, thousands of lives and who knows how much money but we finally nailed the son of a bitch.
U.S. Navy Seals attacked a million dollar mansion compound in Pakistan early this morning and in a 40 minute firefight killed bin Laden, one of his sons and several other people.
The Seals withdrew with bin Laden’s body which was subsequently buried at sea.
With no body to display, I’m surprised the claims haven’t already started that either it wasn’t bin Laden or that he actually escaped the attack. Should be interesting to see what develops over the next few days but I’m sure the U.S. has compiled adequate evidence. We’re talking about the Navy here not Congress.
So now that the greatest manhunt in history is over, where do we go from here? I guess only time will tell but I don’t really expect things to get much better any time soon. There’s a lot of fighting left to do, both here and abroad, before we finally lay the real dog, fundamentalist religion, to rest. But that day will come. The only questions are how long will it take, and what will be the cost?
