I believe George Bush would have remained quiet for a good while. Intelligence gathering needed to be done. Special ops could have done away with a few more of them. By announcing the news so quickly, Obama has hurt their ability to do so.
Don’t guess his motivations. This OBL dead is such garbage I cannot believe it, that people here believe it. Don’t try to guess IMO.
If I were a Paki general, Id be mourning the loss of my golden goose.
Yess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope the soldier that killed him has a good lawyer and plenty of witnesses.
Praise God
Isn’t Obama’s reaction odd?
It’s like the military did not tell him until just now??
Didn’t trust him with the info? (Neither would I...)
Why Golf? Wouldn’t you be prepping the speech that would go down in the history books?
Very odd.
I still say - no permanent bounce to approval ratings. Minor. Temporary. And it will piss him off.
That is most probably the stratergey.
So now all we have to worry about is retaliation from people who go ballistic over a cartoon images...and 4 more years of The Won.
I salute our troops, but fear for our future.
I have a very, very good friend of mine who I went to high school with and who now lives near me in the Los Angeles area. He name is Ret. Col. Pete Blaber of Dela Force....Pete wrote a book called “The Mission, The Men and Me: Lessons From a Former Delta Force Commander” And Pete was in charge of plotting Operation Anaconda and the bombing of Tora Bora and he just missed killing Osama bin Laden years ago. According to other authors who consider him to be the most brilliant mind to ever walk the halls of “The Unit” his missions are credited with killing more Al Queda than anyone else on this planet. I have told him repeatedly that he killed bin Laden at Tora Bora because after that mission we never heard from him again, Pete denied it. I just spoke to him briefly tonight after this news broke, I’ll try to get some more information in the coming weeks.
So what are you on his side jack off?
First thing I thought of when I read that stupidity. No conservative and absolutely no Christian would ever post anything like this.
“Hate to say it, but a new leader will emerge. They will retaliate.”
I hate to say THIS, but their new leader is B. HUSSEIN OBAMA.
And their retaliation is destroying the USA from the Oval Office.
So it seems that Obama supports the death penalty then. Good.
Nothing worse than what they were planning anyway. The only difference is that the Islamacists will speed up their schedule, is all.
Yep...designed to make FR look kooky and fanatical.
And it turned out these were facts. It was in a mansion not far from Islamabad, by a hit team.
Ya, Ya, Go Obama.....
Obama admits he was briefed on Bin Laden’s whereabouts and orders a stike to take Usama out. The White House has been aware the Bin Laden was dead for a week ... What is confusing is that on 28 April it was announced that CIA director Panetta would replace Gates and Petraeus to head CIA! Something is wrong here. Also, Obama releases his BC!
Is this another Obama ploy “ Use a Crisis” to get re-elected??? Me think so Ya, Ya!
Think about it!
Delta Force baby all of the way!!!

After hearing Zer0's speech, you'd think he pulled the trigger himself. /sarc
“Barry just had to make this public.....”
.
Didn’t anyone here Obama’s speech on FOCKS and CNN?
He made it sound as if he himself ordered the raid and charged ahead of the troops just as the leader that he is.
