When confirmed, the "celebrations" began...
I am glad he is no longer a threat. I am equally glad that, as reported, a couple of his couriers were also killed.
But the partying in the streets discomforts. I recognize that some people will look for any excuse to join in such a "celebration." But I do not like it..
Not sure why it bothers me. Perhaps because I've been in combat? Vietnam is not the middle east; but the horrific reality of combat is the same regardless of the "label."
Look a this photo of ecstatic celebration:
Compare that to this of troops watching the President's announcement:
This is not a 'christian' issue...or is it?...Ezekiel 18.32, "For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live!"

I agree with you on this Jack.. Am I pleased that he is dead? Yes. But you won't see me in the streets hooting and hollering.
Folks on base at JFCOM this morning are very quiet and reserved. Noticed a slight security uptick. Otherwise business as usual.
I will say though that it speaks to the insanity of our times that we're worried about the proper Islamic method of burial for a mass-murdering terrorist, because it might anger the Islamists.

BTW are you coming this way? Let me know if you will be near the Virginia beach area at any time.
I too have mixed feelings...am glad he has been found but sad that if he wasn't a christian where his eternal destination is...Sad that he would turn his back on the One True God! But I am glad that he is no longer a threat...but it also just leaves someone else to take his place...Partying in the streets??? I don't like it either...Thanks for sharing Jack especially the pictures! I had no idea...Praying for you guys!
