Don’t make mountains out of mole hills.

If Osama is killed, he will be a martyr in the eyes of his followers. Nothing will change that no matter who kills him or even how he dies.

This only proves, once again, that Barack Redacted Obama is incapable of speaking a coherent thought, unless he is reading a teleprompter.

Obama's statement of yesterday is not the statement he remembers today...and it saddens him.

“”UPDATE: Sensing, perhaps, a need to be more declarative, Obama spox Bill Burton emails to say: “As president, Barack Obama will do everything within his power to kill or capture Osama bin Laden. If captured, he will pursue the death penalty for him.””

Obama is against the death penalty so I'm not sure how he could reconcile that one.

Osama in a courtroom would not become a martyr?
LOL!

Obama knows martydom though- right now he is pressing it on his ignorant narcisstic opinionated wife, Michelle.

Barry says a trial with international standards would prevent Osama from becoming a martyr.
Sounds like Barry wants a rigged trial designed to make Osama a free man, innocent of all charges.

Before this is over, I’m betting Obama will wish he had been involved in a real election campaign against a real opponent. The five month contest against Hillary is really his first and only campaign. He had the Illinois U.S. Senate seat handed to him by a well-orchestrated media campaign against a cardboard cut-out candidate. It wasn’t an election campaign, it was a coronation.

Marxists, liberals and coherent thoughts? Oxymoron.

“The Obama who spoke yesterday — whatever it is he may have said — is not the Obama I knew.” He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Middle-Named said today, speaking to a large crowd of supporters. “The Obama I knew...” his stentorian voice rising to an orgasmic crescendo that sent chills up the legs of countless coeds and MSNBC anchors, “... is a man who was able to say all things to all people, death-penalty opponents and typical bloodthirsty white rednecks alike.”

Nonsense, Obama is for the death penalty. When he was a state senator he refused to back the born alive act.

“Before this is over, I’m betting Obama will wish he had been involved in a real election campaign against a real opponent.”

Will it really matter to the American people considering that he has already come this far? In better times, he would have been fitted in a straight jacket and placed in a padded cell even by the MSM. But we are not living in better times.

If Obama had ever had a real campaign he would still be a Community Disorganizer & Jr College Lecturer.
He is ill qualified for any real job anywhere....I am still searching for any academic achievements for this mealy mouthed tool....also need a Birth Cerificate and a copy of his PassPort....NOBAMA

Obama is implying that Osama might be killed trying to escape or have some sort of unfortunate accident. Things might have been better if Saddam had been greased in his spider hole.

“Barry says a trial with international standards”

That reminds me of Jon Carry’s “global test”
