About LinkBacksObama on the Mission to Kill Osama Bin Laden
60 Minutes has a must-watch interview with President Obama on how the plan to kill Osama bin Laden was prepared and carried out, what was going through his mind as he watched it unfold, and the secrecy leading up to his historic announcement last Sunday night.
It's really fascinating.
Here's the video:

I watched it. I thought it was excellent. He was incredibly complimentary of the intelligence community, the Seal team, the military, President Bush, his team... He spoke articulately and concisely about many aspects of the lead up to the effort and the stresses that he faced. I found it riveting. I can't believe we got Bin Laden! Fucking awesome awesome awesome piece of work all the way around.
Support the troops. Ride a bike.

Riveting - that's a good word. I had the same response to the interview. I mean, usually I watch interviews, but my attention doesn't stay completely on it, all the way through. Not so with this interview. You could see the interviewer was just as riveted at some points.
