NE Florida, they never said the reason last night but this morning it’s reported that it was a suicide attempt.

Had me wondering last night though since there was a black ops exercise in Miami recently.

Would they still come out and do this if GW Bush were still President?

&&&&
Yes, I think that these particular students would have come out. Difference is merely in the coverage. The Lamestream Media are covering the enthusiasm only because they can give credit to the Pharoah.

Oh gosh...I sure hope the CIA knows you so they can consult you on how to do the next mission.

DUH, this was planned for years as to what to do when they caught him.

Thank you for your post, SJ. It made me teary.

I don’t really know how I feel about this whole thing. I am glad he’s gone but the chosen one making it sound like he pulled the trigger makes me ill.

Let’s not forget that NONE of this would have even been necessary if Clinton would have got off his ass and given the order to take out Bin Laden after the Cole bombing. 3000+ families wouldn’t have lost someone who meant the world to them.

For many of the young people the death of Usama represents a win and an end to war.

I think that they are going to expect us to be pulling out now that that's done. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

They are two naive to understand that it, like the Alamo, may be a catalyst for the terrorist to rev up the attacks and prolong the war.

That's what I'm concerned about.

There may have been contingency plans laid that if/when he got killed, it would trigger some sort of attack.

I’m not complaining that he’s dead and maybe that was the only option, but if they could have taken him alive I think that may have been preferable just for the intel possibilities.

You believe he's dead just because Obama says he is?

I need to see the long form death certificate.

Or show me the body...

I happen to agree with him on this one. It was by far his most presidential speech.

(Granted that is a pretty low bar)...

Probably used something like this:
Camera mounted teleprompter
Camera mounted teleprompter

I noticed his eyes moving left to right like he was reading from the prompter, but he did appear to be staring directly at the camera (the one for the television feed to the networks). A separate camera was used for the web feed. It was below and to the side a bit. On the white house website and YouTube channel, he's looking a bit up and to the right.

Demonstrations also in Times Square. Here in DC, a friend of my daughter is sending her videos and pictures from the demonstration in front of the WH. Her friend jumped in her car when she heard the news and went down to the WH. I believe it is spontaneous.

Yeah. No way the pea brain memorized it nor was it off the cuff.

I was expecting the usual ping-pong match.

I’m so confused RC...I clicked on your link, but can’t find anything saying it happened last week?

Minitrue has already updated history. There were a half dozen stories last night that said this happened last week, and that there were DNA tests which verified that it was actually Bin Laden that was killed, and that the US kept the body.

It seems that a decision was made that it would be better if OBL were killed early on May 2 in Pock-ee-stan (3-4pm EST May 1). Minitrue has fully revised history and you will find no reference to the earlier stories.

Rummy Chick posted a quote from one AP story on post # 1010. I would not be surprised if that post, or this entire thread disappeared. For now, it's there.

Also, I think the current version of history says OBL was buried at see, with a small Islamic ceremony, to honor his Muslim faith and provide for a quick burial of the body. If that actually happened, then many Muslims and AQ types might not believe that OBL is really dead. Not that I think that's a bad thing.

I’m not watching any of it with exception of what the local news brings up. Can’t stand it makes me want to puke. And the lortabs are bad enough for doing that...

Nerve block set for the 5th IF we don’t get flooded out.

Why did the communist organizer wait so long to make his announcement tonight? Does anybody think those morons showing up to offer adulation to Dear Leader is spontaneous?

It was timed perfectly so that it preempted the last 15 minutes of "Celebrity Apprentice." I think Pres__ent Obama never wants anyone to hear Trump say the words "Your Fired."

I'm still amazed that narcissist America-hater Obama bothered to call the man responsible for the effort to rid the world of this evil man.

I wonder who made him do it?

God BLESS President BUSH!
