For those keeping score

Well, yesterday, they killed some key terrorists in a helicopter strike in Somalia. Suspect Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, a leader of Al Qaeda-linked terror organization al-Shabab, was killed in the strike, highlighting the administration's commitment to pursue terrorists wherever they may be. We've been after him for years, now he's dead.

African politicians have repeatedly called for a law-enforcement approach to stopping suspected terrorists on the continent but Obama ordered the attack anyway. I guess his Kenyan roots are not influencing African policy as it relates to terrorism.

Now is where you tell me that I don't listen or understand.

Thats great news Joe, but isnt that what Bush/Cheney were doing? Im really looking for what Obama has done. He was marketed as this big agent of change, but there is nothing really new that he has accomplished.

It's not too hard to find a list of executive orders and signed legislation. Specifically, I think lifting the ban on stem cell research and restoring science to it's rightful place is very significant.

There's one less notorious terrorist bent on our destruction than there was yesterday - it's an accomplishment anyway you slice it. The president has proven that he's not weak on terrorism - far from it. Moreover, success or failure in ongoing operations is not negated by virtue of being the second commander to oversee operations. If that was the case, George McClellan would be on the fifty-dollar bill instead of Grant.
