The class thing to do would have been to scrape him off our shoes with quiet dignity, look straight into the camera lens and say “who's next”
Instead we have kids playing in the streets.
Most of them WERE kids when the towers were hit, so OBL was always a childhood monster- I have no idea what that feels like, so maybe I am seeing it wrong.
FWIW, I think most of those “thousands” of US citizens who were out celebrating outside the White House were Obama supporters, called out to celebrate their Dear Leader.
OTOH, I agree with the Cheese-eating Surrender Monkey bit.
Now, let’s get out of Libya and stop helping the Muslim terrorists take over Africa.
But we didnt Waterboard him. That counts for nothing? How about our CandC Obama getting a peace prize? No points for that either?
In France you only march for more government freebees,
The street celebrations were mostly Obama-bots cheering for their Dear Leader.
Cry me a river Euro wussies! The Muslims are about to take over the major capitals of Europe and your “best and brightest” intelligensia still persist in their love affair with huge numbers of Muslim immigrants. Euros — prepare to convert to Islam, die, or be enslaved by your new Muslim masters.
Unarmed man? So are the surrender monkies suggesting that we cut off his arms before we shot him in his face?
‘Cuz, if so, then great!
It started with the President himself coming on at 11:30 pm to make the announcement.
Obama wants maximum PR from this event, but his actions are raising up the status of UBL and Al Qaeda and lowering that of the President.
the announcement should have been made by mid-level Pentagon people, not a President in the middle of the night. Proof of the raid, and UBL’s body, should have been made public immediately. Body should even have been shown to some journalists. Then simply dispose of the body respectfully, without the nonsense kowtowing to PC fake-muslim sensibilities.
focus on the military aspects, keep the politics and PC’ness out of it.
The president could then comment 1-2 days later.
But Obama is a narcissist and a PR-whore, so he will use the Presidency for that purpose instead.
Am I the only person who couldn’t possibly care less what most people in Europe think, say, or do?
Are white Christian American conservatives even ALLOWED to be angry?
After all, haven’t we used the downtrodden rest of the world as our footstool?
Yeah, I didn’t tramp through the streets shouting “USA” or anything...
I just went down to the local bar and ordered up a “Bin Laden” - two shots and a splash of water.
As a Christian I did not rejoice at Bin Laden’s death; however, as a Christian and an American I did rejoice that he was no longer able to perpetrate his brand of evil.
I love this. The more Euros dislike us, we know we are on the right track.
“Stealth Blackhawk helicopter” for special ops. Eat your hearts out.
I think theres a very good reason for the ‘muted’ response. Its the typical mislead and destined to fail ‘olive leaf’ to the RHs. That is, ‘We’re not happy, please don’t target us!!!’. Little good it did Spain so many years ago to tuck tail and run, they got bombed anyway. In any event despite protestations the euros know they’re going to get a front row seat to the wrath of the RHs over this. Its same story repeated so many times in the recent past, the euros are REALLY slow learners.
That said, the euros had no problem whacking on Libya and it was all about oil too. I suppose we’ll be told thats ‘different’. I wonder if it’ll make the lumps about to be received any less painful?
I would say that the official response by the USA has also been muted. President Obama refuses to permit a photo of the slain Osama because "that is not who we are." But he does permit the release of thousands of Abu Ghraib photos of "supposed" torture of terrorists.
So the Abu Ghraib Prison photos DO say who we are? Or, is that what this Democrat Administration thinks who we are? A handful of misguided military people say who we are? The so-called "torture" is more like the initiation antics at a fraternity!
Or, do our friends on the other side of the Atlantic pick and choose which story to believe? ... Osama wearing an explosive belt? ...Osama with a room full of weapons? ...Osama trying to surrender peacefully? ...Osama reaching for something in his garb? What are the facts of the matter in connection with Osama? Are there any?
Why don’t we get to the truth? The only place that happened was outside the WH where the WH set up those to go out and make it look like we were all cheering. UNITY All Praise Obama. What a joke.
Didn’t happen in any other cities other than Obozo supporters in NYC and DC.
Most people probably doubt the whole story. For good reason.
Well, I guess they would have been more grateful if we had captured OBL and released him “somewhere” in Europe???
Maybe we should have left them all alone such that they’d be speaking German today. And, I’ve always said I don’t know why we didn’t leave England for what was to become America earlier than we did.
WAIT A MINUTE: I thought our messiah promised to improve our standing in the world???
Appropriately posted on May 5—French Humiliation Day (otherwise known as the Cinco de Mayo).
I don’t get it - I thought electing Obama was supposed to make the Europeans love us again. Did Katie Couric lie to me again?
