Obama says Bin Laden killed after firefight

I remember that Bin Laden was said to have a bodyguard who would kill him if he was ever about to fall into US hands.

Maybe that's how he died because I don't think Obama said our forces actually killed him.

Yeah, I find it amusing that that Bush captures thousands, including Saddam, and we go through all these gyrations on due-process for them. Especially for the benefit of the hand-wringing Left.

Then Obama comes along and he just goes head-hunting for wacky Kadaffy and bin Laden

No, it was a member of the high value targets team that shot him.

It would have been much better to take him alive. He could have told us so much. A trial before the world would have been awe inspiring. Maybe he would have had more to say than some people might have wanted him to say.

BTW...

This one’s for your family member.

And for Battalion Chief John Moran, FDNY, aka Freeper BCM.

And for journalist and author Barbara Olson, aka Freeper bko.

Look at the map. This town’s location leads me to believe that our forces accessed it through India. And the implications in Obama’s speech is that Pakistan knew nothing of this operation.

Great point. Obama was quite specific about that but it conflicts with other reports.

I just came in from dancing in the street, to the March of Cambredth:

Axes flash, broadsword swing,
Shining armour's piercing ring
Horses run with polished shield,
Fight Those Bastards till They Yield
Midnight mare and blood red roan,
Fight to Keep this Land Your Own
Sound the horn and call the cry,
How Many of Them Can We Make Die!

Follow orders as you're told,
Make Their Yellow Blood Run Cold
Fight until you die or drop,
A Force Like Ours is Hard to Stop
Close your mind to stress and pain,
Fight till You're No Longer Sane
Let not one damn cur pass by,
How Many of Them Can We Make Die!

Guard your women and children well,
Send These Bastards Back to Hell
We'll teach them the ways of war,
They Won't Come Here Any More
Use your shield and use your head,
Fight till Every One is Dead
Raise the flag up to the sky,
How Many of Them Can We Make Die!

Dawn has broke, the time has come,
Move Your Feet to a Marching Drum
We'll win the war and pay the toll,
We'll Fight as One in Heart and Soul
Midnight mare and blood red roan,
Fight to Keep this Land Your Own
Sound the horn and call the cry,
How Many of Them Can We Make Die!

And the Islamfacists can just suck it! ;)

A trial would have been justice delayed.

My sincere condolences on your loss. One of the pilots who was killed was a neighbor, though I didn’t know that until later.

They killed him a week ago. Obama taped this message then. His people decided it would be a great time to put out the bad birth certificate, knowing that it would be off the radar in a few days once Obama releases the Bin Laden kill.

All planned...

No big deal. Barack Obama actually knew nothing of this operation for days -- until the success was confirmed. LOL.

I think it would have been justice drawn out for all to take in and savor slowly and wonderfully. That is if he was killed in the end.

Distinctly possible. Old military maxim: “It is easier to ask forgiveness than permission.”

And frequently MUCH wiser.
