Those of us who opposed the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq said from the beginning that war was not the answer, using intelligence and law enforcement to track down bin Laden and his lieutenants was the answer. We've been vindicated by the events of the early morning hours on Monday in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
Not so fast, sister. I am not gonna let you slither out of this. What do you think this mission was? It is worse than war. You invade a country, an dally no less, kill people and leave. You mean to tell me that a hand-wringing liberal concerned what Muslim countries think of us is now for this sort of thing? OK, say Zawahiri is in Yemen right now. Should we go in guns blazing? Is this how you seek your daily vindication now?
Your emotional response to Obama's unprecedented policy triumph is interesting. I'm enjoying it.
Your overnight conversion as a Cheney policy fan is even more interesting. Welcome to the fold. We have been saying this is the way things get done in the real world. Time to put away your birkenstocks now.
