Marcus and I agreed on something. Do you realize how rare that is?
And I think the answer is yes to this question by the way. There's a reason they keep showing those videos.
The AP is reporting that the US is already telling embassies to prepare for reprisals. If you're trying to amp up your people to go out and do something in the short term I don't think it's unlikely at all that you show them those videos and tell them that the US doesn't fear you anymore.

Funny, it took Obama 2 1/2 years to do something that Bush couldn't do in 2 terms.

Then anything the U.S. does is an affront to their sensibilities. Cheering isn't going to change that.
As an admitted liberal, I want to be the first to say that is a wholly invalid perspective. I sincerely doubt that Obama had a personal role in developing the intelligence lead that led to Osama's death. This very likely would have happened at about this period of time even if McCain had been elected.
Don't overreach like that. It's dishonest.

I say we give those radical Arabs a taste of their own medicine. I say we riot down our streets changing "death to Osama! Great Satan of the world!" Burn Osama bin Laden flags... Al Queda flags... Saudi Arabia flags... OR lakers flags, just anykind of flags. While wearing snow hats over our heads (cutting out 2 holes for our eyes) while flashing our machine guns.

They were preparing for possible reprisal long before any Americans were videoed celebrating. I seriously doubt Americans celebrating would tip the scales to whether the Al-Qaeda network retaliates or not.

Wonder if he was just rewarded with his 100 virgins? Hope he enjoys'em...
And as an admitted conservative I don't care that this comes under Obama's watch. It needed to be done and whoever did it, kudos!
I'm not arguing that it will create retaliation that was not already there. It will draw in and recruit those that looked at bin Laden as a great man to help with the cause.
Probably. I don't care though. This country has needed something to celebrate for quite a while.
