OK, so whatcha wanna bet there's a "hold for release on my death" videotape from bin Laden that's going to come out shortly calling for a renewed Jihad? any takers on that?
It is possible- but let 'em air it. OBL is just one more cockroach to add to the list of the others we've already squashed. If any more are eager to show themselves now, they can be next.
Did the statement already happen and the whitehouse.gov feed is stuck, or are they just running really late?
Hold on, chief. Donald Trump has just demanded that the White House release the long form death certificate.
Outside Islamabad, no less? If so, then there are some motherfuckers who have a LOT to answer for. I think we need to execute ANYONE who was sheltering that motherfucker with extreme prejudice. I mean Black Flag style- NO QUARTER.
This kind of "wet" job is just as much political as it is military and I wouldn't be surprised if the body count contains some very interesting persons. A lot of things suddenly look different in this light: The Petraeus/Panetta shuffle which according to the time line as I understand it was announced right about the time that fuckhead got taken out. It also helps explain why Obama was so relaxed bitch-slapping Trump at the White House Correspondent's Dinner. I'm also told (don't know for sure) that the run-up coverage to the announcement pre-empted "Celebrity Apprentice". I have no problem with anyone not liking Obama and his policies. However, this confirms that anyone who still believes he's nothing but a small time Chicago fixer is full of shit. The guy is big time.
Now they're reporting that this might have been a SPECWAR type of op rather than a drone strike. Imagine being the operator who pulled the trigger on OBL. That guy should never pay for another beer his entire life!!
I tend to prefer Fox News (cue the peanut gallery) but i gotta say - when CNN rounds up Blitzer and King and gets them in the studio, and you coast with Geraldo - that's fail. Someone get Brit Baer or at lest Shep Smith out of bed and act like you are paying attention. I refuse to look at any TV screen with Geraldo's mug on it.
Good riddance! Another extremist and terrorist who spread ignorance and hate gone. The world is a better place for his absence.
No, it IS a HUGE win. But for America and it's allies, not just Obama. Yes, as the sitting president when this went down he will gain a measure of credit, but believe me when I say he had very little to do with it. The same could be said if a Pube was president. Tomorrow morning Obama will still be hard at work destroying what's left of the country.
Do it right. A pigskin inlaid coffin, a suit made of bacon (get Lady GaGa's designer on it!) with a bag of pork rinds in each hand and a sausage in his mouth. THEN soak the whole thing in bacon grease. Maybe Allah will dock him 22 virgins... The wife asks a reasonable question: if you've known for a week, and if you are trying to get everything just so before you speak, then why the fuck schedule your announcement for ONE FULL HOUR before you actually speak?
Granted, being the guy in the big office means he'll get a lot of credit for this, and to be fair, he has whacked a lot of bad guys with the drone attacks, and I'm sure that he had to be the one to give to give the "go" order to the guys on the ground to get him. So he's done a good thing here, good on President Obama for this action. Does this mean I'm going to forget about or disregard his deliberate dismantling of the U.S. economy? Hell no.
