why did we respect his religious burial ceremony?

Why risk lives of seals when they were to shoot him in the head and not use a drone?

All that info he had on where the money goes, future attacks, where his number two is has gone.

If he had been there since 2005 then why not watch him and find the other leadership and then take them all out at the same time?

Obama you cannot take credit when you had all of this and if Bush had done it this way then the media would be asking for proof

I’m glad 0bama was playing golf (just like normal). I would not have wanted anything (like a change in activity) to give away the secrecy of the operation.

But you see.....it was a cunning plan all along. Now he can say, "Hey, look.....I can play golf and still conduct serious business. Leave me alone."

/sarc

Yes, I'm being sarcastic....but don't be surprised to hear this mentioned by MSM and admin sycophants.

It was all part of his intricate plan to lull Osama into a false sense of security.

to understand the difference... GWBush played 24 times in 8 years... or 6 in two years.

0bama has played 66 times in 2 years.

11 times more

any time lefties say anything, just tell them they are bullsh*t lairs and their only effort is to politicize any event while covering for their own

and remind them of president genius and how well he’s done

I also recall the crisism layed at George H. bush feet for going on a fishing trip during Gulf War I. The media had a field day with the fact taht he was not at his desk during such a crisis.

Did anyone in their right mind not realize that he was in constant contact with his aids?

I think W stopped playing golf altogether when military operations began in Iraq.

BOTH OBAMA AND OSAMA HAVE/HAD
FRIENDS WHO BOMBED THE PENTAGON

_________________________________________________________

From HumanEvents.com, April 29, 2008:
"By all accounts, he [Obama friend and associate, Bill Ayers] was a ferocious, violent, revolutionary Marxist in his halcyon days as a Weatherman leader. He and his Weatherman bombers were enamored of Ho Chi Minh, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Mao Tse-tung -- indeed, all the murderous heroes on the Left. Referring to the Weatherman members in August 1969, he said (according to the FBI): 'We’re revolutionary Communists.'

He got off on the group’s multiple explosions, too, and discusses them rather lovingly in his memoir.

Ideal Bombing Weather:
'Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon,' he writes (although he concedes it was really a group effort). 'The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.' (p. 256 in the 2003 edition.)

It is very possible that DoD/CIA influenced the potus to make a very public spectacle (out playing golf) of himself while the operation was in progress. It is the opposite of what a normal POTUS would do, and it has the second advantage of getting him away from effective communications so that the operation can be completed without interference, unlike Carter and the Hostage Rescue attempt in '79

BOTH OBAMA AND OSAMA HAVE/HAD
FRIENDS WHO WANTED TO BOMB FORT DIX

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
March 6, 1970: "three members of the Weather Underground accidentally killed themselves in a Manhattan townhouse while attempting to build a powerful bomb they had intended to plant at a social dance in Fort Dix, New Jersey -- an event that was to be attended by U.S. Army soldiers. Hundreds of lives could have been lost had the plot been successfully executed."
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6808

"The bomb was intended to be planted at a non-commissioned officer's dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey.
The bomb was packed with nails to inflict maximum casualties upon detonation."

2007 Fort Dix attack plot

A group of six radical Islamist[1] men, allegedly plotting to stage an attack on the Fort Dix military base in New Jersey, United States, were arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on May 7, 2007. They were subsequently charged with planning an attack against U.S. soldiers. The alleged aim of the six men was said to be to "kill as many soldiers as possible".[2] Their trial began on October 20, 2008. [3]

Opening arguments were presented on October 20, 2008.
Assistant U.S. Attorney William Fitzpatrick said the defendants were inspired by jihad saying "Their motive was to defend Islam. Their inspiration was Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.
