My 2 cents:
This whole thing about finding Bin Laden in a mansion, not a cave, just pisses me off. The Pakistani government knew where Bin Laden was but did not cooperate with US. There is no way that a heavily fortified mcmansion, located just outside of the country's capital, about 8 times bigger than the surrounding residences, not raise any kind of suspicion at all. The decision of not notifying Pakistan prior to the raid was definitely the right call. If I was Obama, I wouldn't even bother telling the PM of Pakistan that Bin Laden had been killed immediately after. I would just let them hear about it like the rest of the world did.
With that said, I remember 9/11/01 like it was yesterday. I will surely remember 5/1/11, the day it was announced that Bin Laden has finally been casted into the chasm of hell. I don't have closure just yet, though. Closure for me will come when I see pictures of this sob's body with a bullet hole in his head.
