If this was a sham, and not the real deal, I think the SEALS will let the cat out of the bag.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The Seals were scammed by false intel, staged and fed from Pakistan with Obamas help.I doubt they would want to admit that.I am sure they are now asking why the body was deep sixed so quickly when every NATO nation would want to see it for forensic verification purposes, they spent millions trying to hunt OBL down.

Sadam Hussein was a piker compared to OBL, and Hussein had 5 plastic surgery enhanced doubles to stand in for him.How convenient for everyone to forget that.

Why dump the body so soon? This is a gaint scam.Obama is a giant scam.

I went to bed. I knew that if he said anything that mattered, it would be on FR when I got up.

Sadam was an absolute dictator of a more normal body habitus. How many tall, 6'4" IIRC, skinny Arabs would be convincing body doubles and volunteer to take it for bin Laden? Plus they said they got autopsy samples from him and his sister who died within the last decade. They both inherited the same mitochondrial DNA from their mother. Forensic pathologists from all over will be demanding to see the results. Any evidence of tampering would get more scrutiny than the Obama birth certificate.

Why dump the body so soon?

Burial within 24 hours may well be their custom. It is with Jews. It's not that I trust Obama. I just don't think they can pull off this scam.

>>There is no true forensic independent verfication which should have been given as proof to NATO Allies.Indeed the body should have been handed over to NATO for verification of identity.Why was it not? I conclude Bin Laden was not killed.<<

Announcing that OBL was dead and that our Seals were the last persons he looked in the eye as he died is not a smart move unless it was true. Our media won’t show a dead dog on the evening news and you expect them to show a close-up full face photo of a man who died with a bullet to the face? Never happen. These wounds are not the smooth puncture wounds that you see on NCIS.

“They were waiting for Celebrity Apprentice to be on to screw the Donald some more.”

Exactly - they were in such a big hurry to take over the airwaves and cut off the boardroom climax of CA, then killed time with pundits’ (David Gregory on nbc, ugh) prattling and speculating on what The One was going to say, etc. - for a good half hour to 45 minutes before he finally deigned to appear.

And don’t think The Donald was unaware of it. For a long time, BHO always picked the 5 pm (eastern) time slot (in addition to others) for pressers and speeches (Beck’s show). Now he’s got a new target. Wonder what he can come up with next Sunday night, when Celeb Apprentice will be a 3-hour episode.

Compote - Compost.

True, but in current use one means dessert and the other means a steaming pile of rotting gunk.

I'd still go with compost.

Thanks, it now makes sense. It did not make sense with two choppers.

Navy SEALs: When you care enough to send the very best.

For the past 15 years SEALs have trained to go for the head primarily in CQB. No “two to the chest, one to the head.” It’s two to the head, repeat as necessary. It’s not necessary very often.

“OUR ‘phone number” on the farm growing up was various rings on the crank phone.....I think it was “2 longs and 1 short”. There were 20 people on that particular line.”

LOL - ours was 2 longs and 2 short, and there were almost 20 people on our party line as well. I remember my first year in college, some of us were chatting - I said I remembered when we (on the farm) first got dial phones, and my urban friends said “how old ARE you, anyway?” It was funny.

“Makes ya wonder if Uhbama has any CHRISTIANS on his staff.”

I daresay nary a one. As to your tagline, the Presidential staff makes up the “facts” as it goes. It’s the American people who need to wake up and face the (real) facts.

“If this was a sham, and not the real deal, I think the SEALS will let the cat out of the bag.”

You think so? I really hope you’re right, ‘cause the steady parade of people praising BHO’s “bravery” on Fox News all day and night (including LOTS of military guys like Jack Keane, Tommy Franks, Ralph Peters, Ollie North, etc., and intel guys like John Brennan, Michael Scheuer, Porter Goss, etc.), Andy Card, Steve Hadley, John Bolton and others has been nauseating. And bad as it’s been on Fox, the other networks would have been downright intolerable.

Heard Glenn Beck say something about how the media’d been praising the 7th Navy Seals, but that no such unit existed “at least on paper”.

???

How do you keep your cool with this Horses4it flying? How do you spot a SEAL? He’s the one balancing a ball on his nose. Fer chrissakes already.

Also, how about the fact that if no one is holding the body then there can be no terrorist threats to force its release?

Huckabee criticizes Obama at NRA keynote address

Obama administration seeks more comments on rifle sale plan Reuters mentions Gun Walker!

Army Move on Atheist Chaplains Could Lead To ‘Church of Evolution’

Trump and the Hunt for Red Obama Check the link in comment# 36 too as well as the original story.

Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.

P.S. I've read comments that bin Laden's demise is a scam. I don't think so as I'm hearing claims in the news of the gov't having autopsy samples from him and a deceased sister. They both inherited their mother's mitochondrial DNA if they had the same mother. If they just had the same father there is still a lot of DNA that would match, from about 25 % to close to 50 %, IIRC. Any corrections are always appreciated.

“Any evidence of tampering would get more scrutiny than the Obama birth certificate.”

Really? Promise? Who’ll be demanding it? ‘Cause that’s what will have to happen. Like the “BC”, Obama’s not gonna just fork it over. And the requests/demands will have to be public or documented.

“I just don’t don’t think they can pull off this scam.”

I do. (I never thought I’d see such a day. God help us.)

please link me to some SEAL or Delta confirmation that they were responsible and taking the credit, rather than all the bambam says so press releases...
