The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
In his defense, I could see that a high value target like OBL would require CiC clearance.
Stated like a very small man.
Wow. Such courage of our young President to give the ok for our warriors to kill the number one SOB on the planet. What a tough decision that was.
I shudder before the courage of the messiah.
Wait a minute, Barry . . . I thought this happened a week ago, and the U.S. has been doing DNA tests on his remains?
What the hell is going on here? LOL.
Obama was called off the white house putt-putt course to be notified.
"Today at my direction - The U.S. carried out landing operations on the beaches at Normandy" - Barry
“PRESIDENT OBAMA: “Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan...”
Did they step into a time machine?
Any sitting president would have had to give the go ahead. I watched the speech. He wasn’t taking credit. He gave credit to our intelligence forces as he should have. Bush put it in place. Obama followed it but through it all the military persevered to accomplish it.
So...does this make OBL a victim of a hate crime? Was he Mirandized? Where’s the ACLU?
As a Canadian, you are probably not aware that Hawaiians are not exactly know for working quickly. It took them two years to come up with a Birth Certificate. In fact, Hawaiians are sort of known for not working at all.
True to these Hawaiian traditions, certified Hawaiian, Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. has brought those easy-going Hawaiian habits to the White House.
Another campaign speech read from a teleprompter with a lot of I's and Me's.
Pokeestan.
Couldn’t resist.
And timed the announcement to come during ‘Celebrity Apprentince’...
But I have to say, Obama's credit grabbing was pathetic. "I first learned of the intel...I ordered a team on a mission...I analyzed the data...I gave the order...I smelted the lead that was used to make the bullets... I placed the sun into position to assure daylight hours."
Maybe a little more credit to the guys who actually delivered the metal into the body, at great personal risk to themselves, was in order.
Looks like Obama’s going to have to give back his Nobel Peace Prize.
I glad used that term. He has outed himself in a very uncharacteristic way, as actually being responsible for something. I know what he did is cheap, petty, and childish (very typical), but by saying it this way he has put himself up as the sole guy for the inevitable, predictable, you could almost say daily, 'Muslim Rage'. He kinda stuck his neck out there for the backlash (no pun intended).
