:Thumbs: Yes, it is a good thing. Obama's handling of the war in Afghanistan, his decision to basically stick to Bush's plan in Iraq, and his decision not to close Gitmo as he promised are probably the only issues on which I have praised Obama. I also like the fact that Obama recognized the value of General David Petraeus' leadership and kept him on following the shameful "General Betrayus" episode that liberals concocted to undermine Bush's war effort.

I have read reports that "enhanced interrogation methods" in secret prisons on foreign soil were instrumental in finally locating and blowing off Bin Laden's face. That should really fire up Obama's base.

President Obama does deserve credit for staying the course that President Bush charted and even escalating the war in Afghanistan. Bush also deserves credit for yesterday's events but the lion's share of credit belongs to the US military - especially those who have put their boots on the ground and place their lives on the line every day.
