#1 I salute you for what you have done. One thing doesn't ring true from this article though:

"How did the helicopters elude the Pakistani air defense network? Did they spoof transponder codes? Were they painted and tricked out with Pakistan Air Force equipment? If so -- and we may never know --"

Actually: yesterday Phil B posted a very revealing email chat board from Pakistani military.

They were discussing what was going on before they knew it was Bin Laden. They knew the helicopters were NOT pakistani issue.

They thought it must have permission from Paks to be there in the air space.

They knew they were there.

So seems logical to me that SOME in Pakistan helped

OThers in Pakistan helped Osama Bin Laden (dead dead DEAD that he is).

Once again: CONGRATULATIONS one and all

ps: I feel in my bones that is it. A turning point. The war is OVER we can bring the boys home. Not now, but very soon.

#5 I heard the voice of the lord saying,"Whom shal I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said,"Here am I: send me."

On the wall of one of the fine units that helped.

#6 49 Pan - that quotation on the wall sounds like a violation of separation of church & state; the ACLU hasn't brought suit over it yet?
