Why exactly would a Seal or a Delta tell you of a SITREP? Sorry, but that doesn’t wash with me.

“Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader. He was a mass murderer of Muslims,” Obama said”

Obama speak for I do not kill my Muslim brothers.

You misunderstood. He told me of this years ago, that they knew where OBL was, and what the circumstances were. He of course didn’t tell me of this particular attack, although he has in the past given me very general “heads ups” that they were striking an unnamed HVT (which they did).

On your side of the belief/disbelief argument:

DNA: as one of 75 siblings born to mothers all related to the father (mostly sets of cousins, many of whom were also sisters) this is one very dense gene pool. This dead guy could very easily be a related double. As to just looks: His DNA is going to line up with his sister's DNA just fine. If looks were the only criterion,this afternoon in Riyadh I could find 50 guys who look just like bin Ladn.

Against your argument:

bin Ladn, as are many Saudis and Yemenis, was a genetic medical mess. He was deaf, twitchy, had eye problems, joint problems, and needed frequent dialysis. Makes perfect sense for him to be in Pakistan's premier military town with a collection of very good hospitals and many specialists, and surrounded by elite security units.

For your argument: We have no idea when this actually went down, and how much or how little the Mombasa Moonbeam had to do with it. The timing of the news release for impact all day on Monday and the immediate disposal of the body does not, like all of Kid Kenya's operations, smell very good.

As a PR Coup structure: Perfect. 1st we have the mystical BC purporting to "prove," that this guy is as American as Coca-Cola and Apple Pie through his birth in Hawaii. Then, we have him connected to military glory against Muslim terrorism. Who in their right mind, would suspect this paragon of American virtues of being ineligible to hold the office because he is not a "Natural Born Citizen?"

Nit-picking legalistic right wing born-again fanatical Republican racists who won't give a black man a break, that's who. What the heck is a "Natural Born Citizen anyway? Come on, no body knows! The guy was born in Hawaii!

Stand by for number-bumping news on a weekly basis.

I guess to city slickers on the coasts, that might be true.

To me, an ill-repaired dirt road might mean that, but a well maintained dirt road, or seeing the right kind of tire tracks would lead me to believe there is money at the end of that road.

That actually makes sense. Looks like the compound was built for Bin Laden from the ground up. No way we could have missed that construction.

We could have known the whole time, since 2005 he was there.

As long as we knew where he was, I could see why there was no urgency to kill him, or even capture him. Better to keep him alive, and lull him into a false sense of security. Also, avoid turning him into a martyr back then, when his popularity was much higher than it is now.

We were probably just waiting for a President that needed a huge boost in the polls. That need out weighed the need to keep Islamic unrest under control. And heck, Islamic unrest is completely under control now, right ? (Libya, Syria, Europe, Palestine et. al.). Could care less about Osama. Taking down Saddam and the Taliban seemed a fair and relevant payback.

Don’t forget the “President Obama swims across Yangtze River” photo

Well, I'll be! Try and post something serious on this darn site, and everyone makes big joke! Our fearlessly ineligible leader takes valuable time away from golf to personally hunt down and shoot Osama bin Ladn, after Bush screwed it up, and all you Maine people do is sit around the stove wisecracking while waiting for the ice to melt.

BTW, is it safe to go to L-A? Are our Somali neighbors remaining calm? Let's put the damper on the mosque burning after a week or two, OK? You know.... tolerance ...outreach ...increase Muslim welfare ... that sort of thing.

According to this, the reaction is - subdued.

It appears that it's just not right to celebrate the death of a fellow muslim.

Funny, I could have sworn I heard Dear Reader insisting that the mass murderer wasn't really a muslim. You know, despite the tender attention paid to muslim ritual before relegating non-muslim Bin Laden to the status of chum.

.....subdued.....

Ayuh. Exactly the way I likes them Muslims.
BTW, question on the new Maine etiquette: what wedding gift do I get a Muslim chap who is taking his 4th wife? Touch-and-go-here. I mean I don't want to get the other wives jealous. IMHO, the Welfare people have been quite niggardly with the Section 8 apartments, so that two wives have to share a place. What is Maine coming to?

A nicely wrapped first-grade girl to serve as wife-in-training until she's mature enough to take on marital duties (generally no later than the end of second grade) is a thoughtful and generally accepted gift.

It's pretty obvious that the Section 8 rules as they stand now are anti-Muslim. Should be 4 wives, 4 bedrooms.

With big-screen TV's of course.

Sometimes I'm ashamed to be an American.
