This is rapidly approaching parody. And they wonder how conspiracy theories get started?

The WH seem to be trying out for their next occupation: writing for SNL.

At the rate the WH keeps changing the story, they look more incompetent than Jimmy Carter or the Keystone Cops.

They needed to wait and get a good pulse reading first. Notice Obama backing away from everything. No photos; SEALS made the decision; no video due to blackout; OBL wife killed now she’s alive, etc.

Someone from the back of the room was doing hand figures on the wall and it totally enthralled the children in the room!

“Mr Panetta also revealed that the US Navy Seals made the final decision to kill bin Laden rather than the president.”

Osama, Obama. It is a bit confusing.

At the end of the day, they probably made the right decision.

I read that line about the Seals making the final decision to kill. They better not be setting them up to take the fall.

So we are supposed to believe that one of 23 children was there and that is proof Bin Laden was there?

Bwahahahahahaha!

My kids are usually in different places than I am.

“The third guy on the recently published Reuters’ photos of the inside of the campound (photos leaked by a Pakistani official) is definitely the dead body of Khaled Bin Laden, Osama’s son, that being the first visual and undeniable proof that Bin Laden was at that campound that night.”

I believe the dead son was established to be Hamza bin Laden, and not Khalid (the administration got that one wrong initially):

I might hesitate over that decision.

They lie to us.

Then they expect us to believe them?

I am glad I am old and will not have to put up with their lies. Sorry for my kids, but they bought into the kool ade.

I blame NB’s McCain for selling out the party in his “run” for office. If he had “a pair,” Barry would not have been elected.

I am just saying...

Photos taken by a newsman about an hour after the death of the compound. If that is a passes for a “mansion” in Pakistan, then there are thousands of mansions in my poor county alone. The inside looked like a dump with mattresses on the floor.

Well, these photos were staged:

Perhaps the Strategy Room photo was staged as well.

This is going to get the conspiracy crowd rolling. Bin Laden’s daughter claims he was captured alive. Not sure if she is implying he is still alive or that he was executed.

They are in lawyer mode now. Everything they say now is in a defensive mode to ensure that they are not required to produce this evidence later during some sort of discovery. It’s crazy. They act as if they are worried the UN will press charges or something therefore they don’t want to admit they have photos and video.

I’ll bet they had video of the raid itself and I was always assumed that is what they were watching. If nothing else they certainly have more than photos but video taken after the raid.

She found a cigar butt on the floor ?
