Sad thing is there is already a new bin laden. I can guarantee someone stepped in already.

Most likely, Bin Laden was just a figurehead towards the end, since he had too large of a target on his head.

Incorrect scorecard. The corrected scorecard reads Navy Seals/CIA 1, Osama bin Laden 0.

Let's give credit where credit is due - the the people that actually took the risks and got the job done.

I'm not worried about retaliation at all. My mindset is that we need to be prepared for any eventuality at all times, regardless of any single event.

I believe that retaliation, if it occurs, will not be anything like the scale of the 9/11 attack. Without OBL's money, connections, and leadership, Al Queda is likely to be less organized, less capable, and less able to attack in the U.S.

Combine that with the positive reactions to OBL's death from many Muslim leaders, and I think that while we will always need to remain vigilent, that we won't see any large, complex, or immediate retaliation.

This web site is an awesome place for new and old FF to learn and exchange ideas. BUT.....it is also a place for people to learn how we operate and function. This is the WWW: World Wide Web !!! They can google map any target area's, and find out any info on anything. I am very scared of what might happen, and Im not ashamed to admit it. Not just as a FF, but as an American Citizen !!!! Good luck to everyone, and stay as safe as you can out there !!!!!
