The Illusion of Obama's Bin Laden Raid Situation Room Leadership
The American Thinker ^ | 5-23-12 | Mara Zebest

Posted on 05/23/2012 5:07:23 PM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

Apparently, my previous article on the famous "Situation Room" photo tapped a nationwide nerve. The response ranged from some eye-opening tips on other photos to a few perplexed criticisms as to the motivation for Photoshopping a Situation Room photo.

The answer to that latter question can be summed up in one simple thought: To hide the truth. Obama was out golfing while the OBL mission was unfolding, and the administration needed the Situation Room photo op for public perception -- to give the illusion that he's presidential.

Obama's entire "Composite Presidency" and administration are orchestrated in this fashion. Not only is the photo's legitimacy in question, but so is the narrative illusion behind it. Obama knew of OBL's location for a year and refused to act. The CIA admits that there was "no live video feed," as implied by the iconic White House photo. It is anyone's guess what the captive audience was looking at, but it wasn't the OBL raid. It was recently reported that a highly lawyered CYA memo was drafted that made it clear that the military would take all blame for any errors, while Obama would claim all glory for successes. Not surprisingly, the real heroes seem to have a problem with this form of spiking the ball and using our brave SEALs for political gain. Why would Obama need to Photoshop the Situation Room photos? For the same reason behind everything else he does: to influence perception in which everything is about Obama.

OMG! There is a disembodied hand floating in the situation room! And the reflections in the glass are not the people in the room!

OK, that IS Satan's lair. Oh, and Obama is wearing a Batman cape.

The most important thing to understand is that this is NOT the Situation Room. It’s a small conference room in the NSA complex.

They ran the operation from here in order to have DENIABILITY if things went wrong.

Obama must have read the story because at the graduation today at Annapolis(?) he brought up the picture in the situation room as showing ... who knows what.... but he brought up the picture. Sorry, but I doze when he speaks now — someone else add to this, OK? (smile)

The first line printed at the top of the binder clearly states "TOP SECRET CODEWORD NOFORN" with a second line message "FOR USE IN WHITE HOUSE SITUATION ROOM ONLY." Keep in mind that the codename for the OBL mission was leaked as "Geronimo," so this is obviously a different codeword.

NOFORN simply means NO FOREIGN national is allowed to see it...

NOFORN also means no fornication in the situation room.

Look at the close-up of Hillary’s fingers. The nails are yellowish with a blue section. I’ve always suspected and this proves she’s a damned zombie!

A remnant of the Clinton years.
