    This is just the beginning of something much bigger. The objective of these fanatical terrorist groups is to win the masses over to Islam, and in the name of Allah. That is their driving force. How America chooses to deal with the inevitable terrorist attacks, should be the primary focus.

    To think the death of Bin Laden will be the end of anything is ludicrous. I am extremely satsified that he was killed. While Al Qaeda is splintering this is when we should be very cautious. Al Qaeda needs to respond, and they need to respond quickly. They will attack us after this, no doubt. We have already uncovered plans for future attacks. But what attacks have already begun? What attacks are not aspirational rather operational? We would hope that the methods we used to track and kill bin laden will deter other less determined Al Qaeda leaders to run for cover however there will be some that will emerge to try and take charge of the organization. While new plots will not be to the magnitude of 9/11, there will be attacks on Americans here and abroad. Kudos to the President and our brave SEALS team that pulled off the raid with no U.S. casualties. We need to remain aggressive and keep taking the fight to them. As a former soldier myself, I understand that any of our military in any part of the world are now targets. The intelligence we are gathering from the raid is going to prove invaluable and perhaps give the names of some of the operatives that reside in the U.S. These sleepers in our country need to be rooted out and elimated before they have a chance to retaliate.
