#1 I have to give Obumbles credit where it's due concerning McChrystal - the actual reason for relieving him aside, it was a good call to get rid of somebody who doesn't think bringing bad guys to room temperature is an Unqualified Good Thing.

#2 General, celebration is an individual thing like freedom of speech and religion. You claim we violated Pakistain's sovereignty. Well, what about the violation of our sovereignty on 911. What about the continued violation of our sovereignty? Good riddance, the world is rid of a mass murderer.

#3 Yep, I'm sure when the flyboys got back after taking down Yamamoto they retired to a somber round of self reflection at the O club. /sarc off

#4 Best dance to celebrate:

Xavier Cugat's Tea For Two, "The ultimate white person dance music."

He is wearing slacks and a sweater, with a pipe in the corner his mouth and Hush Puppies loafers, and she is wearing a white puffy dress with a doily in her hair, flats and too much makeup. They are both stiff, have no rhythm, and are dancing an abbreviated form of "The Twist".

#5 McCrystal has brought more of our enemies to room temp than most. This is not his point. Everyone is glad UBL is dead and gone, there can be no doubt. As we nook across history we do not celebrate Hitler or any other tyrants death. Instead we celebrate the victory of the war, the freeing of the oppressed, etc...

In this era, we're still waiting for some of that to happen, Pan. :-(

So I'll take my jollies wherever I can.
