CBS is saying that we may have violated Pakistani sovereignty to get him.

From a political standpoint, I wonder if this breaking news will erase all the other wrongs that Obama has done in his first 27 months in office and basically hand him the election 18 months in advance?

Its hard to say. It will help him for quite awhile but its hard to see this making people forget about the economic problems for that long. If he wins, it will likely be the coninuance of the recovery that did it for him.

CNN reporting he was killed in Islamabad; CBS saying Afghanistan.

Yet CBS says we may have violated Pakistan's borders, to get him. Love that consistency.

They say that they are "calabrating" statements for not just a US audience but for a world audience and for our enemies and thus the delay.

CBS says that high level meetings were held at the White House this morning about this. They also said that Obama played 9 holes of golf instead of his regular 18, today.

So can we repeal the PATRIOT Act and end the wars now? Or do we still need those?

One of the analysts on CBS said stressed that the wars aren't over.


Susan Collins released a statement saying this was a "US Operation" not joint or anything and CBS stated again that this may have been done without the knowledge of Pakistan's gov't that will cause considerable upset there tomorrow.
