This is blowback.

A true leader would have never revealed the operation until many years down the road. There would be plausible deniability. The narcissist is in permanent campaign mode. He feels he is more important than US security. Because of this, there is blowback.

Lies after lies trying to cover for other lies. There have been some simple minded here on FR that have claim this is exactly how Obama planned it and is absolutely brilliantly playing us like a fiddle. There is nothing brilliant about this narcissist. He will bring everyone down with him.

A narcissist can never be a leader. A leader has to put principals, country and self-sacrifice first.

When they sent the WH Press Secretary out in front of the media, to declare to the world, that OBL WAS UNARMED, I knew the administration had jumped the shark.

That will invite more outrage among all would-be jihadists than any photo in a newspaper.

It was a totally unnecessary and irresponsible thing to do, - even if in fact it was the truth.

I guess they did it because Zer0 didn't get the kind of bounce in the polls that they were clamoring for.

Absolutely. First off, whatever intel was collected at the site could have been put to good use. Better yet, once you had SEALS on the ground you might as well try to capture Bin Laden and others for secret interrogation - but not tell anyone he had been captured or killed.

Even if the raid itself became public it would be possible to claim Bin Laden wasn't really there, etc. Thus confusing lower level elements of his organization while still sending a very strong message to his inner circle who would find out over time what happened to him from the survivors.

Check out my post brother, right after it happened. I for-saw this. I am nobody, but even I had enough common sense to know there was going to be massive blowback from this. And, for many reasons.

Every country in the world doesn't like the idea of an American hit squad dropping into a sovereign nation and ‘whacking’ someone. Even Castro crapped his pants. Regardless of the reason or justification, this promotes total lawlessness. Like the U.S. is now the Mafia and if we have a beef with you, we'll have you whacked. From Russia to South America, leaders all over the world were beefing up security and looking at America as a rogue nation.

Question: If we can do this to them, why can't they do the same to us? Why can't they drop in a hit squad into the U.S. to take out a dissident who they claim murdered thousands?

The people running this thing were very short sighted. They should have paid me to consult. I could have told them that this was going to have sever global ramifications and was not going to be a walk in the park.

Today, at my direction
I glad used that term. He has outed himself in a very uncharacteristic way, as actually being responsible for something. I know what he did is cheap, petty, and childish (very typical), but by saying it this way he has put himself up as the sole guy for the inevitable, predictable, you could almost say daily, ‘Muslim Rage’. He kinda stuck his neck out there for the backlash (no pun intended).

A brief announcement could have been made.

Ping me next time...'kay. ;-)

Blunder or Evil Brilliance

We're being set up for that needed crisis event on American soil. I cannot accept this regime would be so ignorant as to release these kind of details. For all their talk about not offending muslim sensibility, it sure appears they are now doing everything they can to ignite the fuse.

The Tea Party didn't give them the crisis, the flu panic didn't, the unions couldn't get it elevated enough, the oil spill wasn't enough.
