Remember when I wondered what could unite Americans the way that a wedding united Brits? For less than 24 hours the news of the killing of Osama Bin Laden did that. But already the partisan sniping has begun. Believe it or not, instead of continuing in celebratory harmony, we are already playing the claim game. Republicans want to give all credit to Bush policies. Democrats think that the guy who actually gave the order to go in and kill Bin Laden should get the credit, especially after Bush said that he didn’t spend much time thinking about Bin Laden.
It is being reported that Sister Sarah’s presidential aspirations will never be realized because she failed to include Obama and the intelligence community in her tweets. A man in Abbottabad tweeted the incident as it was happening. Twitter is now credited with organizing revolutions and real time reporting of major world events. We used to say the pen is mightier than the sword; maybe we should be saying a tweet is the mightiest of all.
Our world has irretrievably changed because of the technology that was invented right here in the U.S.A. We don’t have to wait until the 5:00 news to find out what is happening in our world. We only need to look at a computer screen, or at our smart phone.
Now think about this: the Navy Seals that spent less than an hour on the ground in Abbottabad did two remarkable things. They killed America’s number one enemy, and reported it to the White House with the coded phrase, “Geronimo, EKIA,” at the moment it happened. Then they went around the compound and retrieved every computer, every jump ring, every smart phone they could find.
At an undisclosed location in Afghanistan, this treasure trove of enemy data is being analyzed. If you are an ally of Bin Laden, be afraid, be very afraid. You are next on the list, and we probably have your photograph. Sister Sarah, you missed the point when you didn’t include the intelligence arm of the U.S. Government in your congratulations. That may be the biggest player in this whole story.
