“The Bulgarian umbrella is the name of an umbrella with a hidden pneumatic mechanism which shot out a small poisonous pellet containing ricin.”

Would either or you know what the weather was like in Los Angeles the night that Andrew was assassinated?

If it was raining, which would be quite unusual for LA, an umbrella in the hands of the assassin would not be conspicuous. if it was raining, was the rain extremely isolated as if it was targeted somehow?

If it was not raining, were there reports of possible CIA drones flying over the city and would they use such a technology to assassinate Andrew?

Tantalizing claim. I wouldn’t have been surprised to see it timed for maximum election impact. Why? Because the Left certainly said often enough Bush was going to kill or capture Osama for election advantage.

Red siren at Drudge on this.

Did the sludge have a red siren on bloody Thursday when he trashed Newt with mitt's mountain of lies? Did he have a red siren warning that the military is in danger of having a Bishop of a cult as CIC?

I offered that strictly as an example of assassin tech they’ve used in the past.

The principle of the weapon is like a single shot short range bb gun that has to be less than 2ft from the target. Original version shot a tiny hollow metal projectile full of ricin with holes to allow it to leak into the bloodstream. They found one of these spheres in the victim that survived.

A possible upgrade would be toxin combined with a polylactic acid binder, would give it properties of a plastic, which could be shaped under microscope into s projectile; dart or pellet. Polylactic acid breaks down into compounds that mimic by products of extreme effort or cardiac stress...iow undetectable...and in the process of dissolving would release the unnamed toxin into the bloodstream.

It would still be a very short range or contact hit. But a skilled machinist could construct the delivery mechanism down to the scale of a pen or a bic lighter, perhaps smaller if the pneumatics were replaced with a dry ice system. Once the unit was assembled, the dry ice would turn to CO2 and voila, a one shot poison dart weapon no bigger than a .22WMR that fires a projectile the diameter of an acupuncture needle. If someone told me he talked to someone who gesticulated with a cigarette in hand that they never lit, I might be confident enough to say Bingo.

As far as the timeline, the polylactic acid element would make it variable within the limitations of the toxin.

What toxin could have been used I have no clue, as chemistry is not my thing.

I almost choked when Clinton came on the commercial. 1994, Mr Ex- Prez. Seriously, Clinton should have said, Obama was just doing the Presidential Job I didn’t want to do. That could have re- enforced the immigration policy too.. wink wink. O wait, O was born in Hawaii. wink wink.

One thing about that photo: Why is there no high resolution pic available? We get this tiny little pic that is impossible to blow up and see any detail. Second, notice the screens in front of Hillary and the other guy. Blank. Not covered or shopped out but blank. Props?

That picture is nothing more than propaganda at best. Obama couldn't care less about what is going on unless he can claim credit for it.

I pray Obama gets nailed to the wall on this.

Good to see this, but will it mean more court-martials?

"Perhaps the rank and file (and SEALS) are at their limit, and the BRASS is getting their ears filled. Thus a leak?"

Rank and file SEALs have never liked the current person sitting in the Office of President. Off the cuff I'd say 95% of the door kickers have never, and will never vote for him; in fact, many resent the fact that the media keeps insinuating that there's a "special relationship" between Obama and the Teams. There isn't. There definitely was between GWB and SEALs, but not Obama - no matter how hard he tries to project.

Funny how it’s UK media running this story.

PC’s turned off and comrade obozo wearing a jacket to cover his golf shirt while looking like the village idiot being told what to do - not a leader in charge.

Pure photo op....

encouraging if the Military goes rouge.

If the military goes rouge I'm resigning from the American Legion and never, ever, honoring the military again. Oh, wait, perhaps you meant "rogue"...?

This is nothing more that zero visiting the guys who get things done to see how it is done since he has never done anything in his life other than take orders.

Nothing has changed my thinking however that we may have killed a double not OBL himself.
