It could've waited until the morning. The operation was over, the body disposed of, nothing was breaking right then. They weren't even on time, letting the press wait almost an hour! So they'd have missed the Monday morning front pages, so what!
Now they've had to release innumerable versions of what happened. We've gone from OBL dying in a hail of bullets while using a woman as a shield to our armed forces murdering a house of unarmed men.
Big-mouth Biden told us it was the SEAL team, we know what ship Osama was dumped from too. We had dithering about the photo release where we're not "spiking the ball" but we sure are making campaign stops.
His first at Ground Zero as president and now he's taking the buffoon Biden to meet the SEAL team today in Kentucky! Why do we know this? At this rate we'll have Biden naming names and releasing sketches of the team.
This has been treated like a "local hero does good, gets key to city," event and not a secret military raid. Such a perspective almost makes sense from a community organizer.
Remember in one of Bush’s early addresses following September 11th when he said this war would involve operations that would be “secret, even in success”?
I miss having an adult in the White House.
