How the heck did he bungle the death of OBL? Even my super lefty literature professor is referring to the event as the assasination of OBL.
“How the heck did he bungle the death of OBL?”
By letting too many people say way too much, too early.
I think the early story that came out was correct - OBL did have the AK47 that he was known to have at his side at all times. The administration later changed it and said he was unarmed. Oh what a tangled web we weave.....
No one has bungled anything; yet.
The photos should be released; but that's not a huge issue yet.
A literature professor is going to a America hating lefty 99% of time.
Someone like that will always feel shame anytime our country does something good such as killing a murderous parasite.
I think people here at FR should not bitch so much at the very minor things such as different accounts of what happened or how long it took to decide.
Bottom line is that for once, the administration let a good thing happen and acted in the nation's best interests.
We used our nations best and brightest military folks and our nations best military technology to do something very good for our nations best interest.
And I'll guarantee that a literature professor wouldn't have any understanding of why that is a good thing.
Iowahawk has a great article up about the amazing moral flexibility of the left, and how Obama is completely annihilating his own leftist credentials.
"Little did I know that this untested young Commander-in-Chief would muster the courage to read his weekly Gallup numbers and, in one daring unilateral extra-judicial targeted hit job, toss aside every single idiotic foreign policy principle of his election campaign. Perhaps most satisfyingly, it was a mission made possible thanks to information extracted by methods he previously banned as "illegal torture."
But this triumphant new era in situationally-unified American bloodlust does not belong to the President alone; we must also cite Congress's born-again waterboarders like Nancy Pelosi and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, and their newfound enthusiasm for what (at least until 9pm Sunday) they would have once considered illegal military murder squads. Neither can we forget the watchdogs of America's press, who have shown unprecedented ethical flexibility in shedding their long-held Gandhi moralism and embracing their inner Rambo.
Thanks to leaders like these, American pride is temporarily back out of the closet. And I for one take great personal satisfaction in knowing that when I'm high-fiving a random fellow American and robotically chanting "USA! USA!" at the news that Bin Laden is finally shark chum, there's a pretty good chance that the guy was, only a few years ago, denying his love for unauthorized secret CIA-planned assassinations."
In the end, leftists will support Obama because they're sheep. But at least the veil of hypocrisy is torn down. Even the die hard college professors know the truth about Obama now. The man is an complete hoax. Their support of his actions makes liars of them all, and a joke out of their cherished beliefs.
