Now we find ou...… and here I thought “we got Osama”<br />Now we find out that not only did Obama make the decision to raid Pakistan, but he flew the helicopter, shot everybody in the compound, personally ripped the heart of of bin Laden with his bare hands, carried the dead body of bin Laden in one arm while he first ran then swam to the USS Carl Vinson, and finally personally prepared the body for burial at sea drawing on his boyhood experience in a Muslim country. And all of this while getting in 9 holes of golf.<br />Obviously, there are just too damn many folks drawing a paycheck from the federal government who are doing nothing, while Obama is doing it all. I suggest that we layoff 20% of all federal employees while doubling .. no .. quadrupling the Obama’s paycheck .. because obviously he is worth it all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-82040194398976523102011-05-07T08:34:36.053-04:002011-05-07T08:34:36.053-04:00I regret the timely announcement of bin Laden'...I regret the timely announcement of bin Laden's demise. We should have let the word leak out, then confirmed it in a casual tone after a few days, meanwhile rolling up another echelon or two of the organization.<br /><br />Aw well, but that wouldn't help Obama get re-elected, now, would it?Popcornnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-63543863164117604502011-05-07T03:29:36.689-04:002011-05-07T03:29:36.689-04:00I agree with the need for an off switch. My belief...I agree with the need for an off switch. My belief is Obama has largely clocked out of the day-to-day Presidential stuff. It is over his head and he is much more comfortable campaigning, so off campaigning he goes.<br /><br />Meanwhile there is a power vacuum in the Executive branch, so various factions are trying to ooze in and seize the levers of power. Those competing factions are all spewing their own spin to try to control the narrative, so you get the schizophrenic message about Libya, and now the Osama hit. <br /><br />Just my guess as to what's going on. Regardless, it is really counter-productive.<br /><br />However, as for the intel stuff, that bothers me a lot less. Of course we grabbed that stuff. I would imagine, or at least hope, that 99% of the talk is misdirection, smoke and/or hogwash intended to induce paranoia among Al Qeida and the Paki double-crossers.ambisinistralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836786826294202405noreply@blogger.com
