Mission Finally Accomplished

Osama bin Laden is dead, killed in a raid by U.S. military forces in Pakistan.

Interestingly enough, most of the headlines are just screaming "Bin Laden is Dead!" -- but not NYT. Read their headline:

Bin Laden is Dead, Obama Says 

Why does that strike me as weird?  Maybe even a little snide.  At any rate, read the article -- it's fairly thorough.  Joe Sudbay has an equally cogent article at AmericaBlog.

I just want to point out that it took a Democratic administration to do it, because Democrats are focused on results -- at least, when they're being Democrats.
