  • If this was up for featured picture I would support it. TheCoffee (talk) 20:03, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I wouldn't support this image - at the moment anyway - simply because its importance has been exaggerated in the media who have wrongly captioned the image. They have led many to incorrectly believe this image was actually Obama and his cabinet watching the actual infiltration of bin Laden's compound unfold via video link and his shooting. This has seen revealed to be wrong. So, we don't really know what the real meaning of this image is other showing Obama's cabinet staring intently at the Situation Room screen. However, it is an interesting image, the image that has come to symbolise Operation Geronimo and I can see why some see it as an important image. Stevo1000 (talk) 00:29, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
