I'll be in Frederick with the Winston-Salem Dash in town and I need to sleep before hand.
If I am unable to sleep well,I'll get my thoughts on the game down then.
The Browns draft stuff will be delayed a day or so as well,as I thought this post was more important.
The death of Osama Bin Laden yesterday comes as a long awaited day of reckoning for the leader of Al Qaida,but we need to keep things in perspective as well.Our war against these zealots that want to damage and hinder our country is far from over.
The successor as the head of the organization Ayman al-Zawahiri may be even more effective than Bin Laden was.
Al-Zawahiri may not be the world-wide face that Bin Laden was,but I have watched a few interviews with him and he strikes me as a person that may have been pulling the strings all along.
Do not think this is over,although a striking blow has been thrown.
This will not be the final blow in this battle .
Thanks to our brave men and women that not only finished the job,but to everyone that continued on this project for the last nine plus years.
Without your hard work and sacrifice,none of this would have happened.
Thank you all.
I am hoping that for at least one day that we can celebrate this as a country without political considerations and keep politics out of this.
This could not have happened without the work done by both the Bush and Obama administrations and both need to be commended for the work that has been done.
I hate to see either side take too much credit for something that took too long to be finished to begin with.
Let's try to be united for a day and enjoy this for what it is-A huge win,but not the final win.
I would also like to add this-as morbid as this sounds,a video proving the death and showing the body needs to be aired ASAP.
Preface it for small children and the weak of stomach to leave the room and show it.
Blow any possible conspiracy theories right out of the water before the crazy talk can be started.
Do what Bolivia did with Che' Guevara and eliminate any doubt from anyone.
Granted,Guevara became a underground hero to many to this day,but Guevara was not a mass murderer on the level of Bin Laden either.
The longer that you wait,the sooner the nuts will come out,give Glenn Beck a day and he'll be ready to give all the theories that you could dream about....
The greatest villain of the last 60 years has finally been brought down.
However,I wince when I hear that "justice has been served".
One can never balance one life against three thousand and say that,but what has been done is this-a man paid for his crimes with his life.
That is the highest price that one can pay.
We have yet another chance to unite as a country and do what we did not almost ten years ago-put left and right wings aside and work together for the things that our country needs.
From financial issues to gas prices,the environment-you name it.
We are all Americans and would it not be the ultimate loss for Osama Bin Laden for his death to be the impetus that brought our country back to what it needs to be and the opposite of what he wanted.....
