President Obama has promised to bring home about 50,000 troops from Iraq. For this, I salute the Commander in Chief. I don't care if bringing them home is a genuine move or just election year politics, all that matters is that our boys are done in one of the middle east hell-holes. The question then is, what's next?  My suggestion after the break.

In a stunning development, President Barack Obama confirmed late Sunday evening that Osama bin Laden, the leader of terrorist group Al-Qaeda responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks, was killed Sunday in Pakistan. Obama made the announcement in a televised address shortly after 11:30 PM ET, about an hour after reports of bin Laden's death had made their way onto the Internet.
