obama lies, even when the truth is the clearest and most simple answer he lies about it.

And I bet the Moslem world doesn’t believe OBL is dead either, Obama is using Taquya (sp?) against Islam itself, he is totally afraid they think he ordered the death of OBL.

I nearly became physically ill reading this drivel. E.J.’s knees must be rubbed raw, his blue dress soiled and shredded.

Can’t you just see the rage in his eyes...the indignation of being “overruled” and then “left out in the cold” while all this was going down...only to be brought into it as an “after-thought.” Shoot! Even ol’ Joe B. knew and was in on a lot more than this little man knew/was. How befitting such a little boy.

There is a guy camped over at the comments section for this article named “Steamboater” ... I think it’s EJ Dionne, Obama Butt sniffer extraordinaire. He is rebutting almost every post.

This read like a piece from The Onion. E.J. Dionne, Jr. is a total putz.

Oh, good God!

Obama merely approved an operation that had been in the works for years. A child could have made the final decision to kill OBL. It was a no-brainer that only a wishy-washy Liberal would find difficult. This was no great feat of leadership.

Even a blind hog occasionally finds an acorn.

Rudolf Hess, while a student at the University of Munich, wrote a prize-winning essay answering the question: “What Kind of a Man Will Lead Germany Back to Her Previous Heights?” When he met Adolph Hitler in 1920, he realized the similarities between what he had written and the man Hitler.

THE ESSAY OUTLINED THE FOLLOWING:
First and foremost, the leader had to be a man of the people, a man whose roots were deeply embedded in the masses so that he would know how to relate to them psychologically. Only such a man could gain the trust of the people, but, this was only to be his “public” image.
Second, in reality such a man should have nothing in common with the masses; for when the need arose, he should not flinch from bloodshed. Great questions are always decided by “blood and iron.” The “public” image must be kept separate from the actual performance.

Third, he had to be a man who was willing to trample on his closest friends to achieve his goals. He must be a man of extreme hardness and as the occasions arise, he must crush people with the heel of his boots.

Hitler was taken by the essay and was very impressed with Hess a man who had such uncanny insight and vowed he would be that man. He would give the appearance of being one of the masses, but in reality he would be quite another. When brutality was called for, he could act with force and decisiveness. He would do what the individuals among the masses could not. He would not flinch from cruelty. “The German people must be misled if the support of the masses is required,” he mused.

Little wonder Hitler and Hess became close friends.
Privately Hitler prepared for war; publicly he gave speeches about his desire for peace. Privately he enjoyed pornography; publicly he insisted on right conduct, no swearing, no off-color jokes in his presence. At times he could be charming and forgiving; most other times he was monstrously cruel, as when he insisted that those who conspired against him be “hung on a meat hook and slowly strangled to death with piano wire, the pressure being periodically released to intensify the death agonies.” Privately (and sometimes publicly) he prided himself in his honesty, yet often he reveled in his ability to deceive.
Hitler engineered the atrocities of “the final solution.” He was a man of many of contradictions. He saved dried bread to feed squirrels and birds and just months after coming to power signed three pieces of legislation to protect animals; yet he worked himself into a frenzy of delight over the pictures of great capitals in Europe in flames.
He could weep with tenderness when talking to children and rejoice over the completion of another concentration camp. Compassionate and even generous with family and friends, he would become filled with vindictive rage at anyone-including close friends-who stood in the way of his agenda. He could be charming or brutal, generous or savage.
Hitler’s dictatorship enjoyed such wide support of the people. Perhaps never in history was a dicta¬tor so well liked. He had the rare gift of motivating a nation to want to follow him.

Does this remind you of anyone???

I sure hope he had a secret deal with the Pakistanis. Otherwise, a guy who has the “audacity” to invade a nuclear power on a military mission, may be demonstrating the wrong kind of verve.

That's as far as I got, although the DEEP comment in the masthead gave me pause.

I wonder where his “gutsy” will go next?

Disney Land?

The golf course?

For a shaved ice?

It’s hard to figure out who is the most delusional scumbag in the media but this guy deserves at least honorable mention.

EJ Dionne has to have one of the lowest IQ’s of any national “journalist” working today.
