So a lot of Freepers, kooks, blog pimps, and others have thrown out some conspiracies about the timing of killing Osama bin Laden and Obama's announcement. Figured I throw my hat into the ring:
(1) The petty: Haven't seen anyone else mention that Obama announced his press release just in time to cut off the end of Trump"s "Celebrity Apprentice." And then Obama waited an hour to actually speak. This is trivial, except it shows how that yup, Obama and his media sychophants really are that petty.
(2) Obama conveniently gave the OK just in time to counter some NASTY press and polls. The smart option would have been to plant some deep insertion sniping and intel guys there, snoop all the data and faces/names possible, and then snipe Osama if he ever tried to leave. Of course, the fact that bin Laden was basically "hiding" on top of a Pakistani military outpost might have made that tough. Comments?
(3) All that said, Obama did give (or at least ineffectively try to stop) the OK for Osama bin Laden to be sent to his deity in H#ll. Well, gotta give props to Obama for that. Now I'm going to throw up and have a stiff drink. And no, as something of an lay "expert" at reading body language, Obama was NOT happy. Enraged is word that best describes his posture.

PPS Obama, you ever want to play a game of non-stakes Hold'em, I'd LOVE to. You have NO poker face!
Sigh. Trump’s not Trump”s and no-stakes not non-stakes...
My favorite theory so far: the timing was designed to destroy Fox News forever, by forcing them to go with Jerry Rivers as their on-air anchor for over an hour during the event, until a grown-up (Bret Baier) could get to the studio.
My only “conspiracy” theory is, the hour-long wait for the official announcement was to give organizers the time to build a flash mob outside the WH.
On other FR threads, I saw still shots from the crowd wielding “Obama ‘08” signs among the God Bless America singing. And there were too many college-age kids there for this to be anything but a flash mob.
Call me old and crabby, but I don’t trust the Party apparatchiks as far as I can hurl them. The zampoliti are still more than active.
Why not delay a statement a few minutes. In this case an hour or more.
In order to punish someone that has been giving you a hard time at a national level.
And since Congress was back in session today, the announcement last night would make everyone focus only on Bin Laden and Obama...and not Congress. Oh wait...
Upon finding out, “Obama” had the BC altered to reflect that Obama not Osama was his real daddy.
And then “Obama” had only one option and that was Patricide.
“And no, as something of an lay “expert” at reading body language, Obama was NOT happy. Enraged is word that best describes his posture.”
Tell us, you must have an idea.
“My only “conspiracy” theory is, the hour-long wait for the official announcement was to give organizers the time to build a flash mob outside the WH.”
Oh, I guarantee the time re Trump’s show was on purpose. Very Obama, just like him “flying the bird” on ocassion. But frankly meaningless given the scale of events.
Your point? Almost certainly true,
Dunno. Just read the body language. That was one angry man.

Our TV had a scroll “Obama to make major announcement affecting whole world”
It’s always good to terrorize the public. We had to guess what was coming-bank holiday? he’s resigning? what?
Had to log on to FR for the reason.
I heard or read that the attack happened last week and they waited to get the DNA results.
Then they said it was last night.
Did anyone else here the “last week” reports?
Sunday night is good timing. Dominate the news cycle for the week.
Want a story buried (Obama’s father’s records) release it Friday afternoon. Weekend people aren’t paying attention as much.
Back to OBL:
First they said it was a ‘capture’ mission.
Then it was a ‘kill mission.’
If it were capture, why not use stun weapons instead of the bullet in the head?
Obviously was bad news having him alive and another decade or so as a symbol while in jail. It was a kill mission but they just didn’t say that.
Then the ‘wife as a shield.’ That seems like a p.r. story to make him look cowardly. Again, understand they are fighting for ‘hearts and minds’ here and that’s what you get.
Little Stevie Dunham is one ugly cuss, isn’t he?
UK Daily Mail reporting that last week’s Wikileaks dump named Abbottabad as likely bin Laden hideout and that the US was tracking a courier.
Don’t forget the BC heat! This guy should never have set foot in the Oval Office, let alone run for it.
“Did anyone else here the “last week” reports?”
Yup. As with everything else out of the Liar in Chief’s White House, the facts are “spun” (ie fabricated) for political gain. Or so they think. All but the dimmest voters are catching on, which is why odumba only got a 1 to 2 point bump according to Ras from this huge news.
If O gets a bump of only a few points he and his cronies will be furious.
Yes. That was very, very painful.
The whole world.
It's a good thing that Osama is gone.
But in doing so what has this new "cowboy" Obama done?
We just invaded a sovereign country that has a lot of crazy people in it. That would be normally OK. But this nation we just invaded has probably 50 to 100 dirty nukes. With a government that is hanging on by its fingertips.
Just a thought.
