According to another one of those White House briefings of reporters designed to suck up all available credit for good news, President Obama's homeland security advisor reveals that it was a really tense time in the air-conditioned White House as unidentified U.S. Navy SEALs closed in on the world's most wanted man after midnight a half a world away.

Armchair quarterback watched it online. Wonder if the video stream was saved. Wonder if anyone else tapped the feed.
It's too much.
Yup. It’s really starting to rub me the wrong way.
A real leader would stand back and point, admiringly, at the Warriors who carried out the mission. And would publicly scold anyone else who didn’t.

Yes I heard it on tape.
The thugs in the WH, don’t give a rat’s rear end about our military. Just a few weeks ago they were ready to stop paying them. The US military is nothing more than a tool for the thug powers in the administration.
Obama stands to loose his Rosie O’Donald people.
Ditto your comments...
This could have been a Jimmy Carter II move, but the equipment was better, the troops more experienced and all branches of the service were not involved unless SF.
