It is telling (IMO)
Heard that Hill, Plugs and Dumb0 turned away when OBL was double tapped. Gates and Panetta (and the Air Force One Star) watched. Can’t now remember where I saw that yesterday. “ ===============================
Thanks. Anything new today from the DC Insider since the “coup” story yesterday?
I think the blurred one in reds and oranges on top of what looks to be a diagram of the compound, might be a print out of Bin Laden’s bloody bedroom.
Which goes back to the thought that they are reviewing a tape, not watching in real time.
The piture on Hillary’s laptop look to be of a SAT view of the hide-out location, below it a drawing of the location.
Everyone in that room looks like they’re waiting to exhale. Secretary Gates looks like the Presidential one. His look is resolute.. A consumate professional. Hillary is concerned but engaged. Admiral Mullen, a professional soldier, he’s not going to be rattled by gunfire. The Brigadier General running the computer presentation (with whatever he’s showing on the screen, is “sticking to his knitting” and totally engaged. Biden looks too casual. Obama is looking at our capability and the brutal effectiveness of our expceptional military for the first time, IMO.
We’re supposed to believe that all these high-powered people gathered to watch this operation without Obama knowing about it? Ulsterman or his source are full of crap.
Khaki shirt and black tie: Navy Admiral
That actually provides another way of understanding the golf shirt. Obama knew the operation was going down, but as a secret snatch, which he could then reveal at whatever time suited his political purposes, I should think late next year, perhaps. So he stayed away from the operation, for plausible deniability purposes. But then it all starts going wrong. The chopper crashes, the event becomes unhidable, and with OBL's unexpected death, the threat of immediate repercussions, including Al Qaeda reprisals, goes immediately to the front burner, and must be publicly discussed. So He is called in suddenly off the golf course because now it must seem that he was in charge and say, like Peewee Herman, "I meant to do that." This, BTW, takes OBL off the table too early to be meaningful during the 2012 elections. Conservatives just caught a break.
Well actually his son is happily married. He sure was an idiot as a child and teenager and during his father’s presidency and of course his latest rant. However, I don’t think his son wears women’s clothes anymore. I think he did that once on Saturday Night Live for a skit as a joke and of course embarrass his father the President at the time. It is a shame that he is the only Reagan but we will have some other candidates.
There’s George The Animal Steele in the upper right.
Not really. Just a re-cap that he was taken off the golf course (which, surprisingly, also made it to the MSM - though they spinned it to stress how “busy” he was that he didn’t have time to change clothes before the operation - uhm... ‘scuse me but if you know we’re going after Bin Laden don’t you think you’d take the time to prepare for an operation of that size?).
The fact that Panetta and WH can’t seem to get on the same page about details of the operation lend further credence to the “coup” rumour. Plus, how can you know have prepared, after almost 10 years of searching for this guy, what you would actually do if you caught (or killed) him?
And who is standing behind Audrey Tomason?
I am obsessed with wondering about the helmet cameras. All could be put to rest if they exist. Guess they don’t. The stunned reaction by Hillary and Obama suggests to me they are viewing the helicopter fiasco. Those damn helicopters have killed a lot of our guys. Can’t live with them and can’t live without ‘em.
Is it me or is he running rather than walking in that picture? Seems a bit of a deep step for an ordinary walking gate. He’s in a hurry. Something unexpected he’s responding to.
Popcorn? I thought it might be fried chicken.
Those helmet cam tapes won’t be released for 30 years or more, if ever. (unless some low level intel guy like Manning decides to leak them, but I’m thinking that these cam tapes were sensitive enough not to be routed just anywhere).
It’s important to note that this is 100% a staged photo. This is standard procedure in a secure facility. Unclassified pictures taken in secure rooms like this one do not happen by accident, and they are not candid.
The computers /screens were turned off because they at least one is clearly labeled TOP SECRET / SCI (The orange and yellow stickers on the lid of the laptop in front of Biden). They actually made a mistake in staging the picture, which is why they had to go back and blur out whatever is on the sheets of paper in front of Hillary. The top picture I can’t identify, but the second sheet (mostly dark) is satellite imagery.
Cute. If *your* Reagan doesn’t hail from Wasilla Alaska, we may be talking about two different people. Just thought I’d clarify that. (smirk).
He also may have given up his seat to Obama. It looks to me like Obama actually has a seat "at the table" at the right hand of the man in charge, but that he had pushed his chair back for some reason.
