Does it mean the “war on terror” is over?
Of course not. Far from it.
As the pundits are discussing, Al-Qaeda will likely step up it’s game to prove that it’s still relevant.
Alert levels will skyrocket.
What is so monumental about this event, is that Barack Obama accomplished what Bush could not.
During the Democratic primaries, (in fact, prior to that), Obama spoke out against the illegitimacy of the Iraq war.
George W. Bush walked away from an opportunity to capture Bin Laden at Tora Bora, in favor of using faulty and/or fake intelligence to illegally invade and occupy the country of Iraq (which had nothing to do with 9/11).
Obama made a commitment during his Presidential campaign to end the horrible war in Iraq and shift the focus to Afghanistan to make Bin Laden’s death or capture the priority it should have been all along.
And tonight, the REAL mission has been accomplished.
Good job Mr. President.
This Blog and the individuals who contribute to it were formerly dedicated to the reality that America needed Barack Obama to become the next President of the United States. Now that Barack Obama has been elected president, we intend to stay active and participate as much as possible in our new government. This is an independent Blog and is neither associated with, nor endorsed by the Obama administration.
