Ok, so we had the body for more than a week. Obama knew this...and he decides to do a national briefing at 10:45 on a Sunday night during Donal Trump’s Apprentice?

Bin Laden declared dead on Obama’s watch. Bin Laden declared dead on Obama’s watch. This guarantees him for more years in the White House. RIP America.

Er...Just about sums it up.

Not at all. We have many domestic challenges that he’s caused and people won’t forget that. Osama is several thousand miles away. We’re living with gas, food prices, sluggish economy and employment numbers. All happening on Obama’s watch.

It took nearly 10 years to pull the body out of the rubble of Tora Bora and ID it?
Gee, congratulations, Zero.

Actually it vindicates Bush,Cheney, Rumsfeld and Petraeus.
Obama will try to take credit for it and will succeed only to the extent it happened on his watch - however this opens the door even more for Iran and the Emperor STILL has no clothes with $5 per gal. gas, double digit unemployment, an economy in shambles and a rudderless foreign policy.

That’d be me. I still can’t believe he’s been alive all these years without a peep out of him. And no I’m not forgetting the videos and recordings. Anyway, even those dried up.

The first three reports are always wrong. However, WABC radio in NYC reports that Osama was killed in action in Afghanistan, his body is recovered by US troops, body is in Afghanistan in American Armed Forced possession, and that this is the tip of the iceberg of an elaborate mission. Good intelligence, president and sec of def approved the mission, and now the president will deliver a statement regarding such.

This is huge news. It goes beyond politics here. However, no doubt the Dems will make it one of their main platforms for reelection.

What might be worth a look is Al Jazeera’s take on this news.

Thank you, General Petraeus and the soldiers that were instrumental in his demise.
This will not change the Islamfascists. Sure it’s a coups, yet that doesn’t change this issue.
Yes, a huge psychological advantage but the fight will still go on.
