Screenshot of the year

This photo needs no explaination.

Yesterday was a day that will go down in history.

This victory belongs to our troops (especially Special Operations Forces) as well as our military and civilian intelligence agencies.

But we’re not the only ones who should be celebrating. Here in Jordan, for example, the memory of Al Qaeda’s bombing of the hotel in Amman in 2005 lingers in people’s memories.

Obviously this isn’t the end of Al Qaeda. But, said a former top counterterrorism official in an article in today’s NYTimes, ”it deprives Al Qaeda of its core leader and the ideological cohesion that Bin Laden maintains.”

That sounds like a victory to me.
