BULLSTALIN.

Barack Hussein Obama still has not tried Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (who was captured on Bush’s watch), has not tried Nadil Hasan who rampaged at Ft. Hood and killed a pregnant woman and child, and celebrated the murder of a POW named Momar Gaddafi.

Obama did NOT want the hassle of a trial for OBL. The muslim world is angry enough that he spikes the football and Barry did as much as he could to spare them the images of a DEAD OBL.

Trial for Osama? My butt.
