give Obama some political capital to get us out of Afghanistan. But I might be overly optimistic.

17. +1, exactly, we have the narrative now. |

20. Its a major blow to the psychology of AQ. |
|
It will probably make it more difficult for AQ to get recruits. They have been brought down several notches and could be the beginning of making them an insignificant terrorist group.

23. I like that you began your question with "If..." |
|
I believed that bin Laden was dead years ago.
I believed Benazir Bhutto when she said bin Laden was dead. And then she was assassinated. But, I digress.
I believe, no, I know and can prove the war in Iraq is based on lies, so why should I believe what my government tells me and why should I start believing it now?
