Can You Turn Taking Out bin Laden into a Negative? Obama Will Try!
Sure didn’t take long for Obama to squander the goodwill from killing bin Laden. I mean, you got the most wanted man in the world, so how do you take that and start to make yourself look like an idiot? Well, let’s have Obama show us how.
So there’s debate about releasing the photos of Osama. I don’t even really care about it. Obama administration could have just said, “We’re not going to release the photos because we don’t feel like it.” and I would have been fine with that. Instead it’s the usual, “If we release the photos, it will make Muslims in the Middle East mad.” Really? There are Muslims in the Middle East who just give us hugs all the time, but if they see a photo of dead Osama they’re suddenly going to become murderous? But they were okay with us killing him — just don’t want to see the photo? I’m sorry, but anyone who would be stirred up to commit murder by an Osama photo are people we should be already hunting down and trying to kill — so stirring them up will just make them easier to find. But it’s hard to believe it will stir them up since so many in the Middle East are just constantly angry all the time at the most moronic things imaginable. When do we just say, “These guys are angry idiots constantly getting enraged by everything, so let’s stop worrying about what will make them angrier lest we catch some of their psychosis trying to think like them.”? If we want to end anger in the Middle East, let’s just send the message that being stupid angry is how you get dead. So everyone who is like, “Me see photo! Me want to murder now!” why don’t you learn to count to ten before you end up like Osama. And the Obama administration: Stop trying to coddle the feelings of people who celebrate a mass murder and instead concentrate on the feeling of your own people.
And then there is the changing story of how the assault went down. Now I, like pretty much every American, don’t really care how it went down as long as we got the end result of taking out Osama. The official report could have been, “Osama begged for mercy while we ripped off his leg and beat him to death with it,” and everyone would be like, “Great job, Obama!” But instead we keep getting this changing story about whether Osama was armed or not and whether he used a human shield — things we don’t even really care about — and now they’re like, “We’re done talking about this.” Hey, Obama, no one cares what the details of what happened in the raid, so just stop looking weasely about it.
So just, a couple days later, we go from Obama’s one flash of competency to looking like this probably all happened in spite of him, because, really, what an idiot. I’m almost apprehensive about how he’s going to turn his Ground Zero appearance into a farce.

I can’t really fault this admiinstration for being all over the map. What no one realized is that photo of them looking at the big screen…they weren’t watching the raid, they were playing “Left for Dead 2″ and Barry got confused. He always did have trouble telling reality from fantasy.

General Grant said General Burnside was “an officer who was generally liked and respected. He was not, however, fitted to command an army. No one knew this better than himself.”
There has not been a similar Democrat President in a very, very long time, if ever.

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in
an ugly direction.” – Barack Obama, in “Audacity of Hope”
He’s in a bit of a quandary, now, isn’t he?

He’s already got some help in turning this thing into a negative. Certain Progs can always be depended on… http://movies.msn.com/movies/article.aspx?news=645163>1=28101

The last time we saw this sort of indecision was Jimmy Carter. Or Bill Clinton at he boobie bar.
The pictures will come out. Just wait until the next Republican president.

Others have commented on the stark difference between the efficient, highly skilled way the military carried out the assault and the stumbling, incompetent way the administration has handled the aftermath.

“and instead concentrate on the feeling of your own people.”
Kenyans? Who cares what the Kenyans feel?

The truth never changes, just ask a lawyer…..what’s that….most of these people are lawyers? No wonder they aren’t doing what they went to school for.
Maybe if someone tells
OsamaObama that showing pictures of the people you killed is a sacred Muslim tradition(since that seems to be his main concern) he’ll finally get it.

I wanna know which batsh!t crazy a-hole decided we needed to provide a proper muslim burial. Hopefully OBL received a proper muslim approved bullet through the dome.
May 5th, 2011 at 1:29 pm
We should have captured him, had our guys put on hoods standing behind him holding their rifles, they all yell “Praise Jesus!” and then cut his head off with a dull blade.
That is muslim tradition.

Proper Presidential Response: ‘Ephin’ A right we shot him, Jack! SEAL medics made heroic attempts to revive him just so we could shoot him again, but no joy. We’d release a picture, but we don’t want to spoil the surprise for family and friends of our next victim. Let me just say — blood, brains and bone fragments everywhere. I mean everywhere! I told the SEALS that the world will be a safer place if we can make all our enemies look like him.

I still think the best thing they could’ve done with Bin Laden’s body would’ve been to do a “Weekend at Bernie’s” type of thing with it. Obama and Joe Biden could’ve just carried Osama’s dead carcass between them for a couple of days – all through the White House and to public events – saying that he was their “drunk friend”. They could’ve covered up the bullet holes with sunglasses and a leftover “Hope and Change” baseball cap from campaign 2008.

I have a question for Eric Holder, why is water boarding unarmed terrorists bad? But shooting unarmed terrorists in the head is good?

Old and busted: “Bin Laden had the girl by the throat and he was like, ‘You’ll never take me alive, infidels!’ Then we blew his brains out! WOOOOO! USA! USA! USA!”
New hotness: “What do you care, teabagger? Don’t you have some crosses to burn?”

Can You Turn Taking Out bin Laden into a Negative? Obama Will
Try!There I fixed it.

The best part of the whole “We are contradicting ourselves because we were in such a hurry to get the information out” narrative is that one of the very first things released was a video of an ENTIRE ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE watching the take-down in real time. So they are saying that an entire room full of eye-witnesses cannot come up with a single, consistent story and they have to wait for reports to trickle in from the field. Not really surprising, I guess, when you take into account the fact that every eye-witness (other than the bad-ass SEALs, of course) was a member of the Obama administration and/or a Demoncrat.

The dead Bin Ladin pictures will appear –
either “leaked” by the White House, or released by White House
- in time for the 2012 election.

Hey-oh, I haven’t heard anyone else compare Bin Laden to Saddam, so I’ll do it. Liberals seem all happy about Bin Laden’s assassination — even at the Huffpo and ThinkProgress. Good for them. However, guess where these nitwits stood on the execution — after a trial — of Saddam Hussein? For example, that dweeb Richard Dawkins cheers Osama’s execution and even pokes fun at people who complain about sea burial. Back in the day, M. Dawkins announced that Hussein’s execution was a travesty that would inflame Muslims.
While doing intense research at ThinkProgress for this elucidating comment of mine, I discovered that top CEO’s earn 200 times more than an average Navy SEAL. I’m not sure what this means.

Dammit!
How many terrorists does Obama have to order other people to kill before conservatives will take communism seriously?
