I suppose I should be expressing some ambivalence about the targeted killing of another human being. And yet, uh, no. I just want the details. What look did he give when bin Laden realized the helicopters above were not giving traffic and weather updates? Do you think he pulled a Culkin?

…Believe me, he wasn’t expecting it. You know, this guy was living in a staid, upscale Pakistani suburb for some time when we got him. This guy is out there, preaching suicide bombings and jihad, pretending he’s Gandalf, wandering the frontier — all the while living like one of the housewives of Orange County.

Of course, on any occasion like this, there will be people who will try and give us ‘perspective.’ This is not the time. Yes, we shouldn’t have killed him. Now the terrorists are going to want to attack us! But you know what? Even when they do, you know who won’t see it? Bin Laden, because we shot out his eyes, and now he lives in a pineapple under the sea.
