CMANN, I am glad to see you are remembering some of my phrases like "bastion of conservatives". Where did I come from, you ask? I lived in Silver Spring, Maryland, all my adult life and worked for 36 years at the Department of Veterans Affairs Central Office in Washington DC. Had a great career helping US veterans and the employees who serve them.

As for keeping it real on this forum, I just want to give appropriate credit where it is due. In the case of taking out the #2 terrorist, the credit goes to the military - not to a President. Not trying to be liberal on this posting. Not trying to be conservative on this posting. Just trying to be honest.
