Obama to speak in 30 minutes - or in an hour or two (Live Thread)

Posted on 05/01/2011 7:11:45 PM PDT by ConservativeMan55

Geraldo just announced Obama will make some sort of statement in 30 minutes. Geraldo says this is unusually late and figures it has something to do with Libya.

I’ll believe it when I see it confirmed by someone that I trust. That will not be the POTUS.

And no one will challenge him on his claim that it happened “today” even though reports suggest otherwise

Someone posted here earlier today about some military level being raised today. Could this be because they knew Osama was dead.

I wish I could find the thread.

I don’t know how they did the DNA tests then. It has to take longer than a day, even with all the power and might of the US military and/or intel agencies.

Side note,
Remember the Wikileaks document released a couple of weeks ago telling Qaeda’s plans if Osama were killed?

That’s because they scrubbed it. I gave a link to the AP story and pasted the copy of it.

When it costs $70 to fill your gas tank, reality will come home to roost for Soetoro in about a week.

I'm not there yet, the last fill up was $69.38...

I couldn’t care less.

I recorded every single word since Whorealdo starting going bat sh*t and reading all the live feeds and confirmations coming in.

“LAST WEEK.”
“Waited for DNA confirmation.”

-Not- done “today”.

All hail our great and glorious troops!

Bush speaks with Obama....and a run down of happenings that got Bin Laden....

Bin Laden was located at a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, which was monitored and when the time was determined to be right, the president said, he authorized a “targeted operation.”

“A small team of Americans carried out the operation,” Obama said. “After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.”

DNA testing confirmed that it was bin Laden, sources told ABC News.

Sources said the attack was carried out by Joint Special Operations Command forces working with the CIA.

Vice President Biden briefed Republican congressional leaders this evening on the operation, which had been kept secret until shortly before the president’s announcement tonight.

Former President George W. Bush said in a statement tonight that Obama called him to inform him of the news of bin Laden’s death.

Bush called the operation a “momentous achievement” that “marks a victory for America, for people who seek peace around the world, and for all those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001.

“I congratulated him and the men and women of our military and intelligence communities who devoted their lives to this mission. They have our everlasting gratitude,” the former president said in a statement. “The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done
