It said he was blowed up into many pieces, so that's kind of explosive.

Everyone knows I'm not a big fan of Obama, but this story is irrelevant. Bin Laden was killed. Whether it was during a raid, or a ransom fulfilled by the Pakistani government, who cares? If it was the latter, perhaps they just wanted to protect the Pakistani government from all the nut jobs over there.

I thought you of all people would be all over it with glee. I seem to recall some seriously inconsequential pokes you have taken at Obama. This one actually has some legs. Oh, BTW, the money was offered By the US for Bin Laden, not to the US for giving him up. You seem to be confused on that.

I'm never surprised at political intrigue, bedfellows etc. As long as the guy is dead, I don't care if they did it by pulling out his feeding tube.

But Bush, Cheney and the rest of the devils, you'd like to have a round of golf with?

Remember this?

Can we say monumental liars?

I don't play golf.

Euchre? Me and the Mrs'll hand Bush and Cheney their arses.

It was a wee joke, BCS.

Might I commend you on your uncommon common sense? Who was it, Mark Twain, methinks, who said golf is a fine walk spoiled.

Among sports, one of the dumbest games going.

"We Americans are the ultimate innocents. We are forever desperate to believe that this time the government is telling us the truth."

-- Sydney Schanberg

It really is amazing how many people fall for the tall tales that constantly pour from the mouths of these consummate liars. Even after they know better they desperately cling to the absurd notion that the USA is something more than thee evil entity.

I agree with Shady, I'm no Obama fan, but there was an open bounty and we know some things have to be under the board to get done - i'm just glad it did get done. If Clinton had gone under the board in regards to Bin Laden, there never would've been a 9/11

What's too bad, is that Obama (for some reason) felt forced into some cover-up.

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so. - Ronald Reagan

Europe seems to excel at fooling people to immigrate there from the ME only to chew them up and spit them back. - Eyeball


Unfortunately our policies have contributed to retarding and limiting their (Muslim's) society's natural progression towards the same enlightened state we take for granted. - Eyeball

I will agree with you on one thing, that Clinton could have thwarted 9 11 at one point even though of course he couldn't have known that at the time. Through totally unrelated issues I had a meeting with a rather high ranking Sudanese military man in Khartoum some years ago who had had Bin Laden in his custody after the Al Shifa bombing. His boss, (president) Al Bashir had contacted Clinton and demanded a foral apoogy for the bombing in exchange for handing over Osama. Clinton said no, so Osama was released, and immediately fled the country. It was an interesting afternoon in any case.

If you're agreeing with me, then I just might be wrong. :P

"under the board" - people do come up with the cutest euphemisms for breaches of international law.

I agree. There doesn't seem to be much of note in this, although I only read the summary.

I'm frankly stunned that a guy who gets up in a lather when Obama doesn't put down his latte to salute the Marines and who went on and on and on about B E N G H A Z I would be so sanguine about the Obama administration ginning up a false narrative around the killing of bin Laden (a story which certainly contributed to Obama's re-election in 2012). Selective outrage at it's finest.

Quite the admission, Michael. Do you think the USA might just be, say, apoplectic, if another country was to fly in a bunch of murderers to take out one or some of the myriad murderous terrorists that the USA shelters?

I judge things on a case by case basis. So yes, in a sense it's selective. Each issue is different.
