Revolution, your damn straight. I am so pissed and given all the heat BO is taking over this, it sure concerns me that the Seals are being set up.

I don’t know why the WH has screwed the PR on this up. It is almost like they are trying to create doubt.

I believe OBL is dead and was feasted on by fishes. Too many honorable serving to think otherwise.

The admin response is revealing though. Supports the theory that Obama was a reluctant observer. If he was decided on the manner, he would have put it out there and moved on. Obama was pushed into this corner and is very reluctant in supporting the outcome.

Leave us not forget the confusion of what happened when Pvt. Jessica Lynch was rescued. It’s best to wait about a week before believing any reports.

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

Panetta obviously feels that he can contradict the White House version(s) of events with impunity. Each new bit of information seems to reinforce Ulsterman's "Obama was out of the loop on the golf course" scenario.

I felt from the beginning that something was amiss with the Situation Room shot: It really looks like something out of an old “West Wing” episode (especially the guy and lady in the back).

They lie to us.

FOX just reported the Oboma administration is going to drop all charges against Bin Laden now. Included in those charges are those who worked closely with him, BTW.
Imagine if Bin Laden is not dead, and all the charges are dropped. He'd be free to do as he pleases. That would make a Muslim very happy.

It's not the truth that matters anymore. It's the perception.

There's more evidence of a Lake Monster in Lake Champlain than the killing of Bin Laden.

I want to know why no one is asking why some senators were shown fake photos.

The Seals did the job they were commanded to do. It was not up to them to do the confirmation as to the identity of the person they were sent to kill.

They followed orders. Why do people think they would not?

They are not liars, the people that sent them may very well be.

I will say that is better evidence of a lake monster than we have been provided of the demise of Bin Laden.

Of course there is no footage or audio recording of the shooting. Things like video cameras mounted on helmets and voice activated recorders don’t exist.

I still believe that the Seals killed OBL, but it’s funny how 0bama is doing his best to kill whatever bump in the polls he was going to get by mismanaging this event.

Bottom line is this: If consipracy theories develop the fault lies squarely on the heels of this administration.

It is their FAULT. PERIOD.

Bin Ladens son looks just like him. Maybe it was mistaken identity. We know he's dead. I guess we'll never know who died that day.

I believe this was a "truth" and released accidently. That they were waiting to hear the word Geronimo...the signal that Osama was "dead".

I pondered this a bit....codes always having more than one meaning...I thought of the Code Talkers first....but I couldn't take it further.

Then I searched a little more. It led me President GW Bush, Texas, skull and bones...

I finally figured that "Geronimo" might also mean "President Bush sends his regards". How appropriate!!

Based on other photos I have seen of the day, I believe Panetta is the navy jacket to the far right (next to Clapper). There is a different photo of him and he is wearing that jacket, that tie, and that belt... I could be wrong

Yeah who is going to stick their neck out in the military against the President?

They know at best case scenario it would end their careers, family and they would end up in prison.

BTW, the Navy has not said anything about it. No confirmation or anything.

For the record, Rush mentioned (not by name) Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik (Council on Foreign Relations guy and ad visor to Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter and Reagan). He is the real life Jack Ryan that Tom Clancy uses in his books.

At any rate, according to Dr Steve R. Pieczenik OBL has been dead around the end of 2001, 2002 or maybe even 2003. Thus, why we can’t see the photos. The first photo sent to the media and press was quickly proved a fake.

This guy Dr. Pieczenik has a hell of a background so it’s kind of hard to just blow him off. If true, then it’s incredibly damaging information that would probably lead to people going to prison.

I know this is going in the realm of conspiracy, but if the government had their story straight from the start, then we would not be here.

Everything about this story changes by the hour.

First, two men killed...then we see pictures of 3, none of which is OBL.

Navy claims the disabled chopper was blown up before departure, then we see pics IN DAYLIGHT of the chopper nearly intact.

Guns, no gun.

Nothing is consistent. Nothing other than the claim OBL is dead. That's the ONLY common theme.

Somebody is hiding something...maybe something significant...and I want to know what it is.
