For a little schadenfreude I thought I'd see what our special friends over at Redstate think of getting Bin Laden. It seems that they are very happy about it and congraulated everyone (including W Bush!) except one person...hmmm...hmmm who could that person be. Lot's and lots of congratulations to the military and intelligence community, and the law enforcement authorities.
But one person seems forgotten in all their congratulatory celebration. Let me give you a clue Redstate: It rhymes with Osama

The President is about to address the nation to confirm media reports that Osama Bin Laden is dead and that we have his body.
We’ve taken pains to analyze the body to be sure we have the body.
Congratulations to the United States military and intelligence community for a job well done.
That said, let’s keep our guard up as I suspect we can expect an Al Qaeda response.
Consider this an open thread.
Their reaction reminds me of the speech Francois Mitterand gave following ousting Saddam Hussein from Kuwait when he talked about the great victory by the allied forces against Iraq when he failed to mention the United States nor President Bush (the merely bad one). So it must be stated. The followers of Redstate are very French in their reaction. Yes. Just like the French.....
Who is the Republican that's going to challenge Obama?
I don't think that "It's 3 AM and a phone rings at the White House" strategy is going to scare anyone. I think WE should run one of those ads. Do it as a split screen- one with W listening as Andy Card whispers in his ear while he looks at The Pet Goat. The other screen Shows Obama announcing his killing by US forces. Should make a good campaign ad.
