White House: Revenge attacks for bin Laden death 'entirely possible' By Sam Youngman - 05/13/11 12:07 PM ET
The White House said Friday that the U.S. intelligence community is "in a state of high vigilance" for revenge attacks after the killing of Osama bin Laden.
White House press secretary Jay Carney responded to reports that more than 80 were killed in Pakistan Friday as a response to bin Laden's death by saying that it is "entirely possible, even likely" that terrorists "might try to respond with revenge attacks of some kind."
The terrorist network al Qaeda has promised revenge for the killing of bin Laden.
"While al Qaeda is weakened, it is not dead," Carney said.
Carney said that U.S. intelligence forces "are obviously in a state of high vigilance since the successful mission" to kill bin Laden.
Americans, Carney said, can "be assured that our intelligence community is focusing very hard on that."
But the left told me the war on terror was now over and our victorious Teleprompter Jesus deserves all the credit!
even my neighbors kid knows that when you hit, the other kid will hit back.
Never fear, Obama has more protection than 43 other Presidents put together.
So they’ll have to take out their revenge on someone else—usually the nearest innocent person who can’t fight back.
No doo doo Dick Tracy....of course revenge attacks are entirely possible. More stuff to show how large and in charge Obama is.
Don’t you worry,
Never fear,
Zero-hood will soon be here........
Zero is the master of the obvious on this issue but can’t grasp the fact that every piece of his intervention with the economy and foreign policy has made it worse. The best thing he could do is sit in his office and play solitaire for the rest of his term.
I couldn’t tell by the way Obama is flying around in Air Force one that anyone is in danger..That would be the place any terrorist could get to talk to him..
Got this from a friend today on the price of gas for the gas guzzling AF 1..
This is from someone who knows the facts! They are tired of it too, and are adding more crew to Air Force-1, - I know this for a fact because I’m one of the instructors that trains the crews. Our company (Atlas Air) has had the Air Force-1 and E-4 contract for over two years and I’ve been doing it for about 8 months now.
Last year (2010) Obama flew in Air Force One 172 times, almost every other day.
White House officials have been telling reporters in recent days that the Democrat doesn’t intend to hang around the White House quite so much in 2011. They explain he wants to get out more around the country because, as everyone knows, that midterm election shellacking on Nov. 2 had nothing to do with his health care bill, over-spending or other policies, and everything to do with Obama’s not adequately explaining himself to his countrymen and women.
And with only 673 days remaining in Obama’s never ending presidential campaign, the incumbent’s travel pace will not likely slacken.
At an Air Force-estimated cost of $181,757 per flight HOUR (not to mention the additional travel costs of Marine One, Secret Service, logistics and local police overtime), that’s a lot of frequent flier dollars going into Obama’s carbon footprint.
We are privy to some of these numbers thanks to CBS’ Mark Knoller, a bearded national treasure trove of presidential stats. According to Knoller’s copious notes, during the last year, Obama made 65 domestic trips over 104 days, and six trips to eight countries over 22 days. Not counting six vacation trips over 32 days.
He took 196 helicopter trips, signed 203 pieces of legislation and squeezed in 29 rounds of left-handed golf.
Obama last year gave 491 speeches, remarks or statements. That’s more talking than goes on in some entire families, at least from fatherly mouths.
In fact, even including the 24 days of 2010 that we never saw Obama in public, his speaking works out to about one official utterance every 11 waking hours. Aides indicate the “Real Good Talker” believes we need more.

Obama has spent over $100 million taxpayer dollars flying around in Air Force One, and probably another $100 million on his entourage. Obama is just another tin-pot dictator living lavishly at the expense of his subjects.
And we seniors have to “tighten our belts” because we aren’t getting a COLA again this year... and none last year!
So if you terrorist want to talk to The Muslim hop on Air Force 1 he will there..
However, when they hit NYC, and murder a million or so, you can be sure that Dear Leader will feel above any kind of revenge.
But, he WILL speak at the memorial service. (If it's televised.)
I kind of thought ‘they’ were counting on those revenge attacks. Not doing so good at pushing the producers into taking to the streets against the eaters, so something has to be done to clean up the mess. Martial law, no election, king for life. Pessimistic? Bet your butt.
Dear American Public:
“Revenge attacks for bin Laden death ‘entirely possible’!” The White House
Dear White House:
If you buy a Sears hairdryer — Do not use while sleeping.
If you are contemplating the purchase of a bag of Fritos for lunch — You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside the bag.
When you take your weekly shower tomorrow night, on your bar of Dial soap — “Directions: Use like regular soap.”
Best Regards,
The American Public
I wonder if making a big spectacle about it, releasing photos of the White House watching it, and announcing what we found after the raid have anything to do with the threat.
They wont show his dead photo for fear of Muslim inflammation, but have no problem talking about what was on the computers we found and taking credit for killing him.
Revenge attacks for burning a koran--can't have it.
I guess we support western interests only when it is necessary for Obama's purposes. Free speech is suspended when it offends Muslims, but when Obama wants, he does not care about offending.
