Both presidents deserve partial credit here. I'd say Bush more than Obama, but that's just my opinion. This never would've happened without Mr. Bush. The true credit belongs to our troops though.. I believe the main intel came from the same interrogation methods that were a hot topic during the last election, and being spun as inhumane. It's funny how a candidate/party can talk all the trash he wants about the previous administration and their actions, and then when he gets into office, and is made aware of "all" information, he realizes why things are/were the way they were...

I'm not trying to blast Obama or the Democratic party here. This same type of thing happens election after election from candidates of all parties. It's nothing more than political posturing..

Anyways, let's not argue politics, and just rejoice in a great moment for not only America, but for people of all nations..

It will be interesting to see how many T206 Wagners are found when bin Laden's family goes through his attic.

The interesting thing would be the look on his face when he realizes on the "other side" that there arent 40 virgins waiting for him.

I thought Obama cared about the environment. He should be prosecuted for polluting the seas.

And what an ill-informed one it is.

Peace. Let's not let dislike of Obama or Bush splinter us on the issue of giving "credit" for this. Bush put the machinery in motion, Obama continued the hunt and gave the order that finished it. In the interim, our intelligence people figured it out. Then our special forces did what they were trained to do and did it perfectly. Due to the efforts of lots of people, he's now dead. That fact alone means there is more than enough credit for all who were involved to share in. My $.02.

I agree. Plus any Obama-haters should take solace in the fact that he has in essence become W Jr. in his prosecution of the existing wars, his maintaining of Gitmo, his continued use of renditions, his continued use of warrantless wiretapping, his continued use of military tribunals, etc. And he's actually gone further than Bush with his increased use of predator drone strikes in Pakistan and his start of a third war in Libya. If not for Obama breaking all of his promises NOT to continue all of these, UBL may never have been found. So the right wingers should go easy on Obama today.

It’s a rather amazing military maneuver where they could storm a small fortress, apprehend the world’s most wanted man and escape with no causalities. Great job Navy SEALS!

Exactly on target. All of this is an indication that Obama is very smart and has figured out how the world really works.

First he figured out how to get elected and then how the world really works. He's smart alright.

That's funny Jeff. I was thinking the same thing.

A bad man who should have been neutralized 15 years ago was finally killed. I feel no joy, no justice. His fate was sealed long ago.
