Agree. And happy birthday!
Today's risk adverse culture, mommystate, everyone is a victim 'cept the perpetrators society SCREAMS, err WHINES, incessantly.
Why this action by the USA took BALL$, Big Brass Ones, by all involved, from the shooters & team & intel at pointy end of the spear, to the Intel Services, Bush Admin for setting up a fair amount of ducks, and Obama admin for continuing the ducks, and providing a presentable / soup to nuts plan with significant risk. Props to Obama for making the gutsy call. Seriously.
Lots of stuff will come out in the wash and hopefully a lot won't. No doubt there will be whining no matter which way things get sliced. No tinfoil hat stuff but I wonder how close we came to a shooting war (skirmish) with Pakistan? Lots of hardware with missiles underwing could have been flying in AFG and off the Vinson / whatever else was around to cover that team. Lots of stuff to go wrong.
