Obama to speak in 30 minutes - or in an hour or two (Live Thread)

Posted on 05/01/2011 7:11:45 PM PDT by ConservativeMan55

Geraldo just announced Obama will make some sort of statement in 30 minutes. Geraldo says this is unusually late and figures it has something to do with Libya.

I asked my husband what happens in a few days when AQ releases a tape of Osama saying he’s not dead?

Even more ironic. I predict that within a week, these same people will be out there with signs saying, "Bin Laden's dead, WE WON! Bring the troops home now!"

I'm not sure whether to expect an immediate response from AQ, or whether they will pull something big in the future, on a significant date (maybe 9-11-11). If they want to wait, they will probably be more successful. American's will go back to sleep now, ignoring terrorist threats. For the next few weeks, with Bin Laden fresh in our memories again, we might be prepared for immediate retaliation. However, long term, we'll be letting our guard down. Especially with the current occupants of the (half) White House and DHS.

Sadly, I suspect you will be proven right.

One of the liberal teachers in our school came up to me this morning and asked me if I want to give credit to Obama for killing Bin Laden.

I smiled and said, Yes, but first credit goes to the Navy Seals.

That shut her up bigtime.

I wonder who made him do it?

&&&&

I wonder when he did it. My theory is that the simpletons running the WH PR dept decided on the pre-empt Donald timeframe, and then someone said “I wonder if President Bush should be notified before he learns of it on air?” And then our dear leader had to make a series of courtesy phone calls.

Courtesy not being one of the natural attributes of the current occupants of the West Wing, it probably was a last minute decision.

Suspect the Brits knew about it sooner than we did. Reason that the newly weds decided to postpone their honeymoon, and Wm and Harry report back to work this morning. Duty first.

I did chuckle last night when I saw a large Bush/Cheney sign held by one of the revelers!

My skepticism is more whether these demonstrations are genuine celebrations of a US military success, or an excuse to hold an Obama campaign event. I can see the reaction in NYC and at West Point being real celebrations of the military’s killing of OBL. I’m skeptical that the one at the WH was mostly a bunch of college kids trying shore up Obama’s military cred (and reelection prospects), which is non-existent among many Americans.

There were some other students reactions at a few more campuses. We need more information to see what, if anything has taken place elsewhere around the nation, and whether this is mostly a college student thing.

Did you happen to catch Jane Harmon D, CA on FOX? She said the work culminated yesterday was spread over three different presidents term. That it is our intelligence department and the seals that should be given the credit for its success...OUCH.

I guarantee that - it was both a last minute decision, and it wasn't his idea.

He would have never thought of notifying President Bush. Frankly, I'm shocked that anyone on his staff did.

Must have been purely a PR decision, and an after thought at that.

Good afternoon guy. I hope you are doing well.

Like I told another poster, as soon as I see some independent confirmation, I will say I was wrong, and watch you do your victory lap.

Next up, al Zawahiri.

Who knows, but it is fun to watch the state run media have O-gasims. If it was Bush, well, you know the drill.

Right after you provide confirmation that he was killed at Tora Bora, I'll come back and admit I'm wrong. Until then, you're just wrong.
What's easier to believe

1. The entire 10th Mountain Division (and other units involved) was sworn to silence under George Bush and all you have is your little ol conspiracy theory to show for it (aka, nothing has leaked for a DECADE)

or

2. Osama was a slippery little shit like every other terrorist in the world and has been hiding deep in a country we haven't had much access to for the past decade and we finally caught up to him to put a bullet in his head.

Wrong is wrong and U it lady. I'm done with you - off with you now.

.308 beats 5.56 every time.

Great seeing people with signs thanking Bush at his residence. With the added quote that Obama forgot to thank Bush.

I also read in several articles where some are mentioning Obama simply continued with the Bush agenda...and that’s so IMO. Never the less Obama did give the direct order...and so it is done.

Awaiting pictures now which apparently they are hesitant to show the bloody things. We didn’t have a problem with Saddams sons...no different than seeing dead animals which is what they were. They stopped being human long ago.
