I’ve been hearing reports of fighter planes strafing protesters, bombs dropping, streets littered with bodies, all from the same media folks who told us things were so bad in New Orleans after Katrina that they had to resort to cannibalism in the Superdome and fend off rape gangs in a desperate fight for survival. How are we supposed to believe anything they say?

Any game of “Spot the Loony!” with HIM in the picture is going to be a short game indeed...

Loon he may be...But he is in fact telling the truth when he says that OBL and AQ hate him, and want him dead...But then, so do many of the Saudi Royal Family.

We rely on our FRiends at Free Republic to filter through all the cr@p and try to get to the truth.

It's exhausting but worthwhile. :0)

Self fulfilling prophesy. The greater the chaos and conflict, the more avenues for al Qaeda to use - see Somalia. No doubt the Islamists are licking their chops but that is not a reason not to kill this evil monster.

No wonder the President’s remarks yesterday were so wishy washy: Obama didn’t want to hurt Gaddafi’s, Osama’s or ah-Qaeda’s feelings? But look out ye all for the One said that all options are on the table here? Ha! Ha!

But what about the JJJJJeeeeewwwwssss. I thought everything that was wrong in every Arab, nay Islamic country was the fault of the Jews, especially Israeli Jews. I saw recently where the Saudis claimed that Israel had trained dolphins to be spies.

A common refrain from the state controlled media each day was the daily casualty counts from Iraq and Afghanistan, and why hasn't president Bush killed or captured bin Laden.

Today, we don't see or hear either refrain.

Why hasn't 0bama killed or captured bin Laden? Because 0bama is an incompetent empty suit, and/or...

He's dead, Jim.
