What has it changed

1. He sure is not going to be planning any other attacks
2. He comes from one of the richest families in the world, so that source of money is no more (most important point really)
3. Already stopped several Republicans from entering the Presidential race
4. Critically wounds the Republican 'weak on defense' claims
5. Rough justice perhaps, but some justice nonetheless

Yeah yeah Tekla who gives a ->-bleeped-<- about organized political party politics.  They don't care about people, it's about WINNING for those guys.

Well smart people care, because elections have consequences in democratic societies. The next president is going to be able to name one if not more SC justices, perhaps even replacing Scalia and Kennedy, and turning the constant 5-4 votes the other way.  Think Sotomayor and Kagan would be there if Sara Palin had anything to say about them?

Guess what we in the econmically advanced North live in a Plutocracy, smart people know this. 

But do you even know what that means?  Plutocracy. 

There's some room for movement but we've been bought off with the riches of other countries.  We're all Plutocrats.  I love the democratic spirit that has Trade Agreements with economically poor countries that perpetuate world poverty, they do so because it's what our societies are built on.

So having the nice face of the Democrats makes you sleep better at night? sleep well poor in pocket and poor in soul Plutocrat.

Getting back to the subject at hand

WASHINGTON – Those who planned the secret mission to get Osama bin Laden in Pakistan knew it was a one-shot deal, and it nearly went terribly wrong.
The U.S. deliberately hid the operation from Pakistan, and predicted that national outrage over the breach of Pakistani sovereignty would make it impossible to try again if the raid on bin Laden's suspected redoubt came up dry.
Once the raiders reached their target, things started to go awry almost immediately, officials briefed on the operation said.
Adding exclusive new details to the account of the assault on bin Laden's hideout, officials described just how the SEAL raiders loudly ditched a foundering helicopter right outside bin Laden's door, ruining the plan for a surprise assault. That forced them to abandon plans to run a squeeze play on bin Laden — simultaneously entering the house stealthily from the roof and the ground floor.
Instead, they busted into the ground floor and began a floor-by-floor storming of the house, working up to the top level where they had assumed bin Laden — if he was in the house — would be.
They were right.

Is he still dead?  (people in that part of the world have been known to come back after 3 days and such)  Then there really is no more news.  How doesn't matter that much, though the helicopter FU (Again?  Really? remember Iran?) I'm sure is the reason they all look so concerned in the official WH photos of them watching in real time (Just like they show in the movies kids).

LOL... That was my main concern also 

And yeah, what's the deal with the helicopter FUs? You'd think they'd have gotten that one figured out by now
