Was he given his Miranda rights?
.....Obama orders Osama to be taken out......
Where is the death certificate?
Now that the birther movement is dead (no pun intended) I am starting the deather movement!
How does he not know when he gave the ok?
Pray for our Troops
Somehow I doubt that our military would trust Obama with the details. He probably found out after Osama was dead.
“at my direction”
Obama makes it sound as if it would not be done if he were not president. You would think he would be more gracious, rather than obviously putting himself first.
Well done and a hearty Bravo! to the strike team. Whether it was done under the previous administration or the current one doesn’t matter - the US showed that you can run, but you can’t hide (forever).
As for those taking umbrage with Obama’s use of the phrase “at my direction”, I would expect that Presidential authorization would be required for a kill/capture strike in a country that is an ally (for the moment, anyway). But hoping that the usual suspects will be able to drag themselves out of their anti-Obama fug is probably too much to ask.
Again, to the guys (and girls) involved in the operation, well done.
When given a similar opportunity the Clinton WH blinked. Got to grudgingly give Obama some credit for following through.
“Today”? I heard this happened a week ago. If it happened today how were they able to confirm DNA so quick?

I love how he stumbled over the word "Abbottabad." I'm pretty sure he almost said "0bamabot."
Uhh, Yes, that’s correct. In a covert operation like this I have no doubt that Obama gave the final go-ahead on this.
That wouldn’t be unusual, since this could easily have (and still might) turned into an international incident, since US forces carried out the raid deep inside Pakistan.
Gotta give the guy credit for this one. I have no trouble with it. The President did the right thing.

Is it just me, or did anyone else notice the difference between O’s speech (all the uses of “I”) and W’s press release (praising the military)? Just another example of the difference between a community organizer and a leader!
Obama to release death certificate as soon as they are finished printing up Obama’s birth certificate - Intern working on documents is a bit overloaded at this time.
Give the kid a break, he is just out of college..
What was Obama, the CIC suppose to say,
“Today, upon hearing some valuable intel, I guess I told some people to attack a high profile target, that is supposedly my job, someone like myself had to give some type of order, umm, very sensitive diplomatic considerations needed to be weeded out, umm. Again, that is supposedly my job needed to make some type of decision.”
Must give Obama credit where credit is due, despite the intentions of “the one™”.
