This morning at about 0830 PDT there was posted, “NORTHCOM just upped Force Protection Condition to Bravo” The thread was pulled. Connection? What time did U.S. forces get Osama?

Obama had to wait for the crowd to gather outside the WH. The videos are streaming now, so he finally came out to speak. I hope it doesn’t backfire, the way this announcement was handled.....

After taking him out of the deep freeze and then some thawing and then running a pole up his ass to prop him up with a beacon hanging around his neck, they got him.

I thought of the ‘NORTHCOM’ post as soon as I heard Obama was going to announce something big.....I figured a big plot had been uncovered. This is better news.....Bin Laden DEAD! God bless and protect the U.S. military!

FoxNews is disgraceful! Having Geraldo at a moment like this instead of bringing in Brit Hume or someone of that caliber.

The kids shouting and screaming in front of the White House are interesting ...gumme a break. Most of them were probably anti-war Obama voters.

I home I’m wrong.

All these people supposedly rushed out in front of the white house?

This is such a planned “PHOTO OP”

Of note: Fox News is spelling bin Laden’s name as “U”sama, rather then the “O”sama it’s always been.

“O”sama too similar to “O”bama?

Another suggestion from the Saudi prince? Ailes? Or...do you suppose...the White House?

Hmmm. Maybe Barack Hussein Ubama is in order.

good reminder ‘anti-war Obama’.

I figured some may be military people...can understand why they, especially, would celebrate.

He clearly said it happened today, yet Fox keeps saying last week. Which is it? I’m confused!

Sure are a lot of “spontaneous” 3’X5’ American flags out there in front of the WH, eh?

The crowd gathering in Times Square seems to have more credibility - ie, not all the same age, and not supplied with props.

At the White House, that sudden large number of 3’X5’ flags being waved kind of smells like all those white-coated doctors in the rose garden last year, touting Obamacare.

I gotta wonder. The crowd just looks a bit too heterogenous to me. Looks like a bunch of Obamabots to me.

SO sorry for the triple post. Internet is just slow.

This was exactly my thinking. The flags just look too uniform, too new. Like they just made a run on U.S. flags at the local Wal-mart.

FDNY firetrucks, loaded with firefighters, have arrived at Times Square to join the celebration.

Goosebumps, and a lump in the throat.
