Osama's Dead.

In accordance with my rule that life should be recorded for future generations, namely Waverly, it must be written: As of May 1, 2011, Osama Bin Laden is dead. He was found, and killed, in Pakistan via fire fight with an American special operations team. He used his wife as a shield.

Chandler and I were still up when newscasters made the announcement that the President would be speaking at 10:30. We turned MSNBC and waited to hear what he had to say. Finally, at 11:00, he came to the podium to tell us about Osama's death. What President Bush had begun in his presidency, President Obama completed. A Facebook status said this, "Obama finished Dubya's speech from 8 years ago."

Obviously, I immediately checked Facebook to see what everyone was saying about this shocking announcement and found myself more annoyed than anything.  Now, I'm not a huge Obama fan and I have my reasons; however, he did finish what was started during President Bush's service. There has to be some credit given. He was the one who commanded the team to attack. For eight months they had been closely following Bin Laden and he could've "pulled the trigger", so to speak, back in March, but too many civilian lives would have been lost. So, May 1, with enough intelligence, Obama made the call. And no American lives were lost and no civilians.. except Bin Laden's wife, does she count as a civilian? Anyway, see it for what it is.

With the actual death of Bin Laden, my emotions are mixed. I am relieved that he was caught and is dead. but it is not something we are celebrating. It's just weird and I appreciate those who have kept it all in perspective because he was a lost soul. A very evil, lost soul. God still mourns for his soul, now in hell.

That's all. I try to keep up with what is going on a little bit at least and I definitely have my own opinions, but I do not enjoy getting heated about it all. I don't like political arguments, so don't bring them here.
