I know we are all celebrating the death of the most wanted and evil man in the world,
PLEASE speak for yourself. This sentence is inaccurate and sickens me.
I for one am not celebrating this faked death which is an insult to the intelligence of many - and I don't believe your opinion that he was the most evil man in the world. The world's most evil men live in DC, in my opinion, and are still alive and free.

That was 2004 and our national debt was $7 trillion, now it is on the verge of $15 trillion dollars, and we so close to the debt ceiling we can touch it with our noses. We are on the verge of bankruptcy.
I actually agree with the spirit of your post, but this is a bit misleading. Entitlements take most of the budget and even if we were not at war, it would not have lowered the debt that much. The Bailouts and reduced tax revenue created most of the debt, not the wars. As dirty as it is, wars produce a dividend that negates much of their cost. I'm not justifying it, just pointing out the reality.
Having said that, we should have zero people in Iraq and Afghanistan should be only surgical strikes against specific targets I think. The way they took Osama is how we should be dealing with the leaders of the Jihadist groups. Just keep cutting the new heads off the snake as they regrow and deprive the body of its senses to mindlessly wander about.

Wow that's a real eye opener.
Looking at it objectively, it's a brilliant and possibly fool proof plan. Whether Osama was alive or dead he still wins because while he was alive the U.S just kept bleeding like someone cut it's jugular vein. And now that he's dead there will inevitably be a backlash/Jihad etc. Win - win for Osama.
Uh... I wouldn't exactly call it a win-win for Osama, he's dead and in hell.
I can't even say for sure your half right. About either half. Or even ass a whole.edit on 3-5-2011 by randyvs because: (no reason given)
The US resembles the land of the munchkins as it celebrates the death of the wicked witch of the East. The joy is understandable but, to many outsiders, unattractive Read more: www.smh.com.au...

Wake up. Zionist radicals run the world. They have started every war via Central banking, false flag or agent provacateur deeds.
Osama is either in a bunker waiting for the fake alien invasion, or he died years ago.
Stop believing the Zionist media hype!!!
Associated press + Reuters = owned by Zionist Rothschild family (who also own bank of england and federal reserve)
Wake up.

Honestly, I believe you have forgotten the agenda of the US. Do you really think there was an actual "War on Terror"? That term was actually coined to keep American people in the dark concerning our government's real objectives.....to gain control of as much oil as possible. How do you change the enemy's mentality? You can't! It's no different than the War on Drugs. The bombings that have taken place in the US pale in comparison to the atrocites we have committed on middle eastern soil. The failure of our economy was predicted even by amateur economists. No biggie. It's the average American who chooses to ignore the obvious because "ignorance is bliss". It's great that you're aware there is something going on; however, there is something much more sinister going on internally. Once we can get to the root of it, then those of us that are aware can begin to chop at the root so that Tree of Dilapidation can truly fall.

True, it's mostly about securing resources, but what good will those resources do when we have no money to defend the land we invaded them for?
That's also why I put the 'War on Terror' in quotes in the title.edit on 3-5-2011 by tooo many pills because: (no reason given)
If you remember, George Bush and the administration dismissed these statements by Osama Bin Ladin as purely propaganda.
