Well that’s the thing. Caligula did NOT want to capture and kill OBL. However, hubby’s take is “what is the relationship between Obama and Osama?” IOW, did they have some back-room relationship, maybe through their Arab connections, that Obama didn’t want Osama to broadcast? I’m usually the one for conspiracy theories, but he has me beat on this one.
Of course, Caligula didn’t want him captured or killed. Caligula essentially agrees with Osama. But, there were too many people who knew about the operation to let it go. So, he dithered. As usual. But it is really too far out in front of 2012 for it to help him and that, too, was part of the dithering.
More will come out about this raid and it won’t look good for Caligula at all. The liberal part of his base is upset about killing Osama. The black part of his base won’t care what he does. But I bet they’re not going to vote this next time either.
All of our monthly support is pledged. But we still have a sizeable one-time need. It was around $20,000 at the beginning of February. Now, it is around $7500. I have seen that amount wiped out overnight. But, it takes people. Do you know anyone who needs a tax deduction? We’ll leave as soon as that is gone. Maybe this summer.
The thing that bothers me is the fact that when Osama first came on the scene, after 9/11, it was reported that he had a kidney disease and was on dialysis.
If he was on dialysis, where did they get the meds, equipment and nurse/doctor who adminstered the dialysis? Was electricity available in his “mansion”, was the water pressure needed for dialysis available, etc.
Did he suddenly get well and not need dialysis. I’d really like to hear the explanation because I’m not exactly sure that it was Osama that they took out and very quickly disposed of. From the “mansion” to the sea with no time for anything but a few pics (which maybe don’t even exist as they won’t show them to us), really makes me wonder.
I'm wondering if, over time, the famous photo will be leaked?
Also, I think the dithering was only that he was afraid that something might go wrong and it end his political career. I think over the 16 hours, he was convinced by others that the risk of something going terribly wrong was low enough to take the chance. If some of our brave people were killed, overall, he couldn't care less about them; he would still come out ahead (politically) as long as they got Osama, and that was apparently a very high probability. Again and again and again I repeat: It's not about America; it's not about the military; it's not about anybody or anything but him. His obscene and unbridled arrogance demands it.
