Is it too hard to just recognize that your political "enemy" might be absolutely right about one thing? Or that your political "ally" could be absolutely wrong about one thing? We just won't get anywhere until we get past that mindset.
Let's put the discussion on hold until we see if Obama holds to his July 2011 pull out.

"It is important to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence or as a propaganda tool," said the president.

"We don't trot out this stuff as trophies,"
Mr. Obama added. "The fact of the matter is, this is somebody who was deserving of the justice that he received."

It's appropriate and right.

And he'd be crazy not to take advantage of this, just like W did with the bullhorn amidst the hash and rubble on 9/11. He milked 9/11 for two Presidential terms.

It's a wreath. Sounds right to me given the emotions, closure and patriotism in NYC right now. Instead of making everything about Osama, finally we are remembering and honoring the heroes and victims.

Considering the fact that my son is leaving for Afghanistan in mid-June 2011 for a 12 month deployment, I'd say that it's pretty certain we'll still be there after July.

I have nephews in both Iraq (Marines) and Afghanistan (Army).

Will be praying for your son as well!

God bless our men and women in uniform!
