I know what you refer to. My brother was on the USS Nimitz when that operation was launched.

Grenada came close to being the same kind of fiasco for Reagan for exactly the same reason that caused the hostage rescue to fail in Iran. One President was lucky in the end, the other screwed the pooch.

I'm not saying Bin Laden didn't deserve it. I'm happy they whacked him. All I'm saying is Paul made some valid points.

OK. Too bad he has to muddle the points with wacky stuff.

On a Serious Note to his Death. The problem is now "We don't know who replaced him and will continue." Thats a Fact. It's not over because we killed One Man.

No one is saying its over. Think about the families that lost loved ones and what it means to them. Its some "closure" for them.

Took some balls to continue the mission when one of the two helicopters crashed.

[updated, 1:08 a.m. ET] Crowds continue to celebrate Osama bin Laden's death at the site of the former World Trade Center in New York and outside the White House in Washington.

One of the celebrants in New York, retired New York City police officer Bob Gibson, said he knew people who died in the September 11 attacks.

"I never thought this night would come, where we would actually capture or kill bin Laden, and thank the lord, he's been eliminated, to put it politely," Gibson told CNN's Jason Carroll. "A lot of us .. gave up. But it did come, and a lot of us are overjoyed that it happened."

[updated, 12:54 a.m. ET] CNN's Chris Lawrence, citing U.S. officials, reports that the compound where bin Laden was found - in Abbotabad, Pakistan, about 100 kilometers outside Pakistan's capital of Islamabad - was three stories tall, and about eight times larger than any of the buildings around it.

An official said a "small U.S. team" was involved in the operation at the compound - the official would not confirm any U.S. military involvement. An official said bin Laden resisted the assault - and was killed in the firefight.

Three other men were killed in the firefight, and a woman being used as a human shield was also killed, the officials said. There were no U.S. casualties, the officials said. The U.S. team was at the compound for about 40 minutes, officials said.

A U.S. helicopter crashed during the raid because of mechanical reasons, an official said. It was destroyed, the officials said.

Go to bed. Let us have some fun and y'all can clean up the mess in the morning.

Strange we didn't share the info with out ally there.

[updated, 12:54 a.m. ET] A senior administration official told reporters that U.S. President Barack Obama's administration did not share intelligence gathered before the attack on bin Laden in Pakistan with any other country - including Pakistan - for security reasons.

The official said that only a small group of people inside the U.S. government knew about this operation targeting Osama bin Laden in advance.
