Give the Obama some credit when it is due. His foreign policy is precisely that laid out by G.W. He has escalated the affair in Afghanistan, though the rules of engagement are so limiting that victory is nigh impossible. He has killed the delusional and quite insane Bin Laden. He was right on Egypt and Libya. And apparently, he understands that the Long War is far from over. The US military has been amply funded, and G-Bay is still open. Iraq, a war won in 2007, will still retain at least 10.000 US troops. The robust US military presence so essential for civilisation, is alive and well [until the US defaults on its financial obligations].

“There are so many other places that we might be able to find to disagree with the president. Today should be not one of them,” said Rep. Mike Rogers, Michigan Republican and chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. “This was a well-planned, well-executed [mission]. The Bush administration deserves credit for where they got the investigation, the Obama administration deserves credit for pulling it along and actually giving the order to go ahead and do it. It wasn’t without risk.”

For many Americans, Sunday was a unifying event. Outside the White House, thousands chanted “U-S-A,” sang patriotic songs and waved American flags.

Those who supported Mr. Obama in the 2008 election were particularly vocal, with his blue campaign signs carried through the streets of Washington. In contrast, a lone Bush-Cheney campaign sign was visible for just a brief time on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Democrats said the killing of al Qaeda’s leader vindicated Mr. Obama’s decision to boost war efforts in Afghanistan and follow through on a planned withdrawal of troops from Iraq.

The Muslim terrorist's death certainly aids and improves the Obama's re-election chances.
