That's fine, but today, many are pretending that getting OBL was our goal all along.

I haven't seen that much. In fact, I've seen some quotes from GWB about finding Bin Laden being put on a back burner around mid-2001.

ETA: Sorry, not 2001, 2002.

But it looks like he said either he wasn't concerned about him or was going to find him - back and forth back and forth. Which is fine, I'm not really concerned about whether GWB really wanted him or not.

I didn't mean to imply that YOU were acting like it was the goal. I'm saying that those who feel unbridled celebration is appropriate lack perspective, as our foreign policy makes it clear that getting OBL is not that important to the continued safety of Americans.

Have you conducted a quick survey or is this simply your interpretation of celebration? Celebration means many things to many people. People celebrate in joy and sadness; in triumph and in hope of things to come.

That's also my response to people who think the celebrations are immoral and embarassing.
