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.
