(53,661 posts)For destroying a former ally and his family business partner, OBL was a convenient excuse to start a war.
No matter what the arguments about the death of OBL, seeing he was the public justification for the war, the announcement said plain and clear to me, now we have an excuse to end the war.
It was a turning point and I didn't rejoice in that act; any more than the war itself, but the beginning of the end, the first step back from PNAC.
So if he's swimming with the fishes, living his life in an undisclosed location with Darth Cheney, or whatever, I don't care, no matter how outrageous that sounds. Obama announced the USA isn't going to keep going this road after OBL. Although the MIC is by no means slain at this point. It will take a transformation of world societyto end that, it's not over yet.
