I'd like to give thanks to Presidents Bush and Obama, Prime Ministers Blair and Cameron, the armed forces of the United States and Her Majesty the Queen, and the intelligence communities of both nations.
"Mission Accomplished" may have been eight years premature, but there's no arguing (in my mind) that the former President saw a lot of the groundwork laid for this triumph — and the current President, far from being a weak-on-terror quisling (as his detractors often claimed), was bloodthirsty enough to see it through.
High-fives all around. I hereby issue to everyone here one token for a virtual cigar and a virtual tumbler of 25-year-old Scotch, said token redeemable for the real thing upon an in-person request.

Except Thatcher, but that's part of being Scottish.
