ruh, roh.

No news, Obama will be speaking any minute now.  This is highly unusual. 

Anybody have any thoughts about this one?

Word is Osama bin Laden is dead and they have the body???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MSNBC said it's about an overseas CIA operation involving OBL.

Maybe we got bin laden

Got or killed.  I hope that ****er's dead.  And I hope we have his body to prove it.

I hope he's dead, and not captured.  because we sure can't put him at gitmo. ::)

 ::)

it's high time.  we've been killing the #2 guy every six months for the past 10 years.

don't roll your eyes at me, missy!  ;D  it's his policy, not mine.

I hope they have a body, otherwise I can see it becoming the latest conspiracy theory.

All I can think is:  OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG

all of the cable news anchors are just unwatchable.  geraldo is probably the worst.  I'm sure fox news is slapping it's cororate forehead that it had to happen when he was on.  

if it rolls past 11:00PM, it will preempt that 5,000th recap of the royal f*cking wedding.

I wonder if we hunted him down on foot, or if the pakis got him, or if we splattered him with a predator.

I think this may have preempted Trump on CNN

Yeah they have it.

They just said that they have the body. 

I hope his virgins are fat, and have syphilis.

we should hang it from the brooklyn bridge.

This is just amazing. 

I Thank and God Bless our Military!!  

8 years ago today....

No way that way 8 years ago today? Wow that is for the tin foil folks.

Yep, 8 years ago.  May 1, 2003

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_Mission_Accomplished_Speech (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_Mission_Accomplished_Speech)

wow.  have the democrats been having a temper tantrum worthy of a two year old girl for 8 years?

can these damn people do anything on time?  I don't remember when they weren't late for an announcement. 

I think they killed him a week ago.  we must have just gotten the DNA results.

Yes, that's what I believe is true as well.  But come on, you gotta admit it's at least a tad amusing it happens to be 8 years later when it gets announced. 

So they have had him a week and Obama picks tonight to talk about it.. No Drama Obama? yeah this is all for his re-election Drama. So now that he is dead is this war over mr president? Will our troops come home?

Since it was last minute, I would assume that they just received confirmation from the DNA testing. 

OK for tonight I will be happy he is dead. Will not put on the tin foil hat, and may not?  May he burn in hell

oh, my god.  now we know what the obamites were doing for an hour.  writing really bad poetry.  the is NOT a "we got the bastard" speech.

he directed, he determined, he met with, he, he, he, me, me, me.

Obama taking total credit for this.

I'm surprised he didn't pick the bullet and load the gun got got him.

Which any president would do.  Do you not think Bush would have said the same thing "I directed", etc? 

Obama said the operation was today when they killed him.

I'll bet van jones is very confused right now.

sounds like the whole DNA angle is wrong . . .

apparently the president called former president bush. 

I would imagine he would.  I'm sure Bush was grateful to hear the news as well. 

They have DNA to test his body with.  Maybe they expedited the processing. 

I don't think you can get reliable results back in a day, can you?  and his body and the test DNA would have to be in very close proximity.

it would be awfully hard to pull off. 

I know I should be happy about this, but I am not.

Can't Special Forces do anything?  They are pretty amazing.  Heh

well, since it was a ground based firefight, he probably wasn't blown to bits like he would have been if it had been a 2000 pound guided munition.  maybe it just wasn't that hard to identify him.

I'm ecstatic.  That ****er killed thousands of Americans.  THOUSANDS.  He deserved to die, and I'm ****ing ecstatic that he's dead. 

they read george bush's statement on fox news.  it was very gracious. 

I'm not sure that the whole "dancing in the streets" thing is such a great idea. 

http://www.politico.com/politico44/

george bush's statement from his facebook page

In his statement tonight obama said this... What does that mean..? Wealth and power. Why say that?

 I am not that happy I tell you why. In the grand scheme of things, he has destroyed this country and will get credit for this in the polls. He does not deserve this WHATSOEVER! If he wins re-election this country is done. That is why i am not that happy. Just me though

I would have expected nothing less from Bush. 


It's not.  Honestly, remember how awful it was to see people dancing in the streets on 9/11?  It reminds me of that.  I understand people wanting to celebrate, but at the same time, it's a bit...distasteful. 

I have no idea what that sentence meant, but he lost me at "cloudless september morning".

the palestinians were dancing when 3,000 innocent americans were killed.  we are dancing because we offed a murdering bad guy.  there's a difference, but celebrating the killing an individual still sort of gives me a slight case of the creeps.

it's not like celebrating the end or wwii, since the war on terror is nowhere near over. 

I didn't say it was exactly the same, but just that it reminded me of it.  I agree with you, it gives me the creeps. 

I agree. I do not like it either.

I'm having a vodka tonic to celebrate.  I don't normally drink on a school night, but I'll make an exception tonight.

I want to say again..GOD BLESS OUR MILITARY and every single person involved in killing him.

he will get a bump.  and then everyone will be depressed when it dawns on them that this really doesn't change anything, and his bump will become a non-bump.

Seconded

(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_noSNbydzxJM/TUrsuSjc5kI/AAAAAAAAE80/H5dKNsMYMyw/s400/military.jpg)

ditto.  10 years after the one murdering thug requires a great deal of discipline.  and I really didn't think the obamites really cared if they got him or not.

they are celebrating in what appears to be a more solemn fashion in times square.  I see a firetruck.  that seems appropriate.

That's what I would hope to see.  People healing a bit from what happened on that awful day. 

Time will tell...... I am so proud of our Military!!!!!

No way they cared!  I gotta go for the night, shame such a fine subject. Goodnight all!!!! :-*

bad weekend to be the son of a thug.

You know what I was reminded of

And finally we have this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNYmK19-d0U

I'm glad that ****er's finally dead.  Rot in hell. 

This event does bring closure for the many that lost loved ones due to the guidance of bin Laden.

HOWEVER,

This whole event is another example of the general WEAKNESS of the Obama Administration.  This mission should be TOP SECRET, kept under wraps perhaps indefinitely.  This celebratory crap that OUR MEDIA is broadcasting like the end of WWII will result in thousands, if not millions of lost American lives in the future.  The news media covering this like they have is an absolute disgrace in my opinion.

Think of how you felt when you saw Palestinians dancing in the streets after 9/11.  My mindset was, had I been president, I would have hit that area and killed everything within a mile radius.  WHAT DO YOU THINK THE FINE FELLOWS OF AL QUEDA WILL BE THINKING?  This will fuel their hatred for the next twenty years, the death of bin Laden, but our celebrating it like they did will racchet up their anger by a factor of X.

I think the US news media is a disgrace.  They have no intelligence.  And I believe Obama is so desperate to get re-elected, they would of course herald this across the world.

I agree with JB, the bump will end up being a non bump with the passage of time, and 2 million more home owners are displaced from their homes by foreclosure by year's end.  In the grand scheme of things, this will not get Obama many more than a handful of votes in the 2012 election.

Bin Laden's death is about 9 years overdue.

The idiot talking head right now on ABC said in regard to the people standing in the street.....'With bin Laden dead, it removes a threat'.  OH REALLY!  WHAT A MORON!  He went on to say, 'What these people in the street are hoping for is that this will bring peace'.
WHERE DO THEY FIND THESE TALKING HEADS THAT HAVE NO INTELLIGENCE?

This strike deep inside Pakistan, the killing of bin Laden, and the after celebration will result in thousands of Americans dying.  They will retaliate, and they will do so repeatedly.

Obama's making this a public event is simply wrong.  This should be TOP SECRET......PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The quiet removal of the reward for bin Laden is all that should have been done, with no public broadcast.

This personifies how truly desperate Obama is to get re-elected!

Bin Laden is but one man.  The pipe line for cash from the Saudi royal family is still alive and well, I am sure.  That means terrorism lives on to fight and be funded for another day.

people are missing the point.  dealing with bin laden was always a matter of bringing to justice the evil bastard that was reponsible for 9/11.  it was never going to mean the end of the war on terror.  some of the quotes from the the dancing college kids in front of the white house (and elsewhere) make  pretty clear that people have forgotten that.

the war on terror continues.  in fact, it's almost definitely going to get worse now, at least for a time.  the only thing worse than a radical islamic terrorist is a pissed off radical islamic terrorist.

al jazeera puts it in perspective:

no DNA (yet).  and capturing bin laden would have been problematic for all of the obvious reasons, especially with the limp terrorist policies of this administration.  but the story is still confused.  I read last night that the SEALs gave bin laden an opportunity to surrender.

There are photographs of the body with a gunshot wound to the side of the head that shows an individual who is not unrecognizable as bin Laden, the official said.

They buried him at sea to hide the fact that he had more lead in him than a 500 pound anchor.

I doubt we will see any photos because of that simple fact.

Ok, now where do I go to vote for Obama?

I think Obama will ultimately regret making the capture killing of bin Laden into the absurd spectacle circus it is.  When THOUSANDS of Americans die because of this action, I doubt he will make it a similar PR event, really!!!!!!!!!!  I do not care what anyone says....this mission should have remained completely TOP SECRET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you feel safer now?  If you said yes, you are a FLAMING IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  And know NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I say the STINK METER is off the charts on this.  And there is no rationalizing this into an acceptable media circus that it has become.

I thoroughly despise the MUSLIM ANIMALS that DANCED on 9/11.  You can say all you want that this is different, but perception is REALITY.  NOT YOUR PERCEPTION, but the ENEMY"S PERCEPTION, which will be to only enrage the Islamic world of good people such that al Queda's ranks will swell to a new high.  And with their ranks swelling to a new high, what did we accomplish by making bin Laden;s death a PR event?

His death will not discourage the followers of Islam, but it will enrage them such that they will not lack recruits for the next ten years.  Plus, the murdering of CHILDREN in LIBYA at the same time will further enrage the good Islamic people.

God help us with the idiot leadership we appear doomed to select, over and over again.

fascinating.  bin laden's neighbor tweeted the raid.   even more fascinating that he didn't know who his neighbor was.

the powerline guys didn't like the speech much more than I did.  and for the same reasons.

Just because he does not acknowledge WHO his neighbor is, that doesn't mean he did not know who it was living there.  I suspect he knew, or a number knew.  Bin Laden did not exactly wear a burka as he went here and there.

He would have been seen, and it would have been known he lived there by many.

So much for the air defenses of Pakistan.

why did the DCIA go anal about civilian casualties the the first paragraph of his statement?  this blubbering goon is about to be sec'y of defense, for god's sake.

gitmo.  the tip originated from detainees at gitmo.  GITMO.

Ka-Pow, that will leave a mark in quite a few arguments and platforms!

 . . . and was the result of enhanced interrogation techniques.  or so I have read.

Wow unreal!

U.S. Forces Unsure Bin Laden Was There Until Face to Face

I'd be shocked if the neighbors knew.  One doesn't live with a $25 million bounty on their head, an international manhunt, and trust more than a select handful of people.  The notion that his whereabouts would be neighborhood knowledge, is well... a bit unlikely.

That bounty has been there for years, and certainly did not motivate anyone through all that time.

Did you ever bother to put your thinking cap on and ask why someone did not want the $25 million?  No, I know the answer.

He was seen by plenty, loyal Muslims, who think of him as a true hero.

He hasn't been as visible as Charlie Sheen, or Obama, but he is largely revered within the Muslim ranks.

Oh by the way, now he will be heralded as a martyr to the cause, and his death will be used to recruit many thousands to destroy the great fire breathing dragon.

Better to have kept this mission completely in the black rather than making it the MEDIA CIRCUS it is.

The enemy would have been reluctant to mention his death, for they would not have had any real details, and yet their leader just up and disappeared.  That alone would have been a true leader's MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

What foolish leadership!  If I did not know better, I would say Obama is more a Muslim today than ever, for he couldn't have done something more intentionally to help our enemies.

His only interest like the loser one term president, elect much for the very same reasons Obama was elected was to pull this MEDIA CIRCUS STUNT!  Carter only did or executed actions he thought would help him get re-elected too to refresh many people;s memory.

Whenever Carter took action, I thought, well there must be a primary taking place this week.  Two sorry rotten peas out of the same pod, the same playbook.

All this does is to guarantee he will not get re-elected.

The parallels are startling to me between Obama and Carter.

I just hope the parallels between Obama and Johnson are equally the same, when Obama decides last minute to bow out of the game and not run for a 2nd term.

White House Officials Debate Releasing Photographs of Bin Laden’s Corpse

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2011/05/white-house-officials-debate-releasing-photographs-of-bin-ladens-corpse-1.html

They need to release the photo. 

I don't need to see the photo, myself.  these freaks just relatively recently quit sawing american's heads off, leaving the pieces in different places, and posting video on the internet.

no need to stir the whackos back up.  especially if it won't really accomplish anything.

Getting Osama bin Laden: How the mission went down



http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0511/54093_Page3.html
Did they release so much info when Saddam was captured?  You know this is out to show how Obama is a hands on CIC and in charge

How long does it take to do the DNA test? I think he is dead don't get me wrong, just it was 8 hours from the time of death to burial at sea i think.

the DNA story is all over the place.  but all you would need is a DNA sample.  you could dispose of the body once you secured that.

but I have read every possible combination of events when it comes to the DNA thing.  that is part of the story that still seems to be up in the air.

I'm glad he knew he was about to die, and I'm glad that he knew it was the US that was about to send him to hell.  I am only a bit sorry that SEALs are such good shots.  I wish he had suffered.

and I guess this is why muslim men get multiple wives;  muslim women are disposable.

I believe this part of the story!

Pentagon: Osama bin Laden Wife Identified Him by Name



http://www.myfoxdc.com/dpps/news/pentagon-osama-bin-laden-wife-identified-him-by-name-dpgapx-20110502-fc_13020200

He was placed "prepared on a flat board" THE ULTIMATE WATER-BOARDING????

http://www.politico.com/politico44/wbarchive/whiteboard05022011.html

THIS FAWNING GOING TO A MAN WHO AFTER 9/11 BLAMED THE UNITED STATES FOR IT! I will have to see if I can find Senator Barack Obama's letter. ....

he vetoed a plan to drop a bomb on the place in favor of the much riskier raid, simply, it appears, so that he could "take possession" of the body.  so he would have "proof" that it was him.

why would he want "proof"?  if he's really gone, do we care if people believe it or not? 

for whom and why?   did we want undeniable proof in order to discourage al quada, or to encourage reelection voters?

I think it's a valid question, and something I have wondered since I read that the "2,000 guided munition option" was considered, but rejected.  it's infinitely safer for US personnel, and stood an equally good chance of working.

 

I can understand the logic of being sure we GET HIM.  He was a high value target, perhaps one of the highest, and verification was critical, so boots on the ground made sense.  And when you consider they used the best team to make this happen, we were certainly serious in his capture on this day.

This is a good sign however.  Obama is truly desperate and is pulling out all the stops, including the visit to NY's ground zero.

if you drop a big enough bomb on that house, you will be certain to get him.  and a high value target is a high value target because of what they do (or did), not merely who they are.

dead people won't be doing anything ever again.  so, clearly, the point is killing the person.  that removes the future behavior.

the point is making him dead.  not proving to anyone that he's dead.

 

it's somewhat surprising to me that, other than hamas and a few stray bitter-enders on the al jazeera discussion boards, no one in the muslim world seems to give a sh*t that this guy is sleeping with the fishes.

10 years spent frantically attempting to remain alive probably doesn't leave much time to plan terror strikes.  this guy was symbolic, not strategic.

I just happend to be able to see LINK TV Al Jazera last night.  Nothing bad about killing Usama. I was a bit suprised.

White House: bin Laden photo 'gruesome'

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/top/all/7548373.html

WHAT ABOUT DANIEL PEARL??? THOSE CONTRACTORS WHOSE BODY'S WERE BURNED AND HUNG FROM THAT BRIDGE????? WHAT ABOUT THAT OTHER MAN NICK BURG I THINK HIS NAME WAS, KSM KICKED THE CHAIR HE WAS TIED IN AND SLIT HIS THROAT?????

The White House says it is worried about the troops safety with the release of the photo..SURE RIGHT.. The only reason 0 used a Seal Team was to get the body and improve his poll rating. NOTHING ELSE. He is going to Ground Zero Thursday Even Politico says it is a victory lap.


Keeping the momentum going
http://www.politico.com/politico44/perm/0511/victory_lap_600ba18c-e3f5-41e8-bc48-8b3b7be5f295.html

retreating?  personally, I wouldn't care if he was hanging from a chandelier with his boxers on his head when we whacked him, but if the MSM got so much as a whiff of the guy getting shot in the back when GWB was president, they would be going insane.  INSANE, I tell ya.

so would pelosi, and the doddering old man, harry reid, and senator obama.

I wonder if that has anything to do with not releasing the pictures.

I wonder why they do not release the pictures, yet again I am sure they are going to milk this for a while.

releasing the photos of saddam's dead sons' bullet riddled bodies didn't "inflame" anything.
