Geraldo is having an orgasm.
This is great news for Toonces approval rating but he's peaking too soon. It will be back in the toilet when gas goes up another buck.
This prick is going to get credit for it.
Killed a week ago
So I guess we can disband the Department of Homeland Security, right?
We have his body and it needs to wrapped in pork and burried where it will never be found!! May he rot in hell!!

My daughter said she guess this means TSA doesn't get to feel her up.
Killed a week ago
Or a month or it must really be going bad in Libya.
The body must be in chunks because of the DNA analysis.
Place your bets on how many times Toonces says "I" in his address. I say 20.
He said God Bless America!
Do you think he went to ::puke::?
The liberal talking points will be something along the lines of, "We shouldn't have killed him because now the terrorists will be really, really, really mad at us." Just wait for it.
Now just watch. This makes Obama more dangerous.

If that's true, that sucks. But if the body has been held for a week, that already violates muslim burial custom.
Personally, I'd've beheaded the f*cker's corpse and stuck the head on a pike at the White House or Ground Zero. Then thrown what's left of the body, properly wieghted, overboard at sea. No memorial shrine for this @sshole.
Trap, I thought getting DNA results took a little longer than using a drive-thru at McDonald's.
They did mention they checked his DNA, didn't they? Or is that a lie, too?
He was in a area of a million people.
And I bet everyone of them knew where he was.
But hey, we're not at war with them......
Bin Laden was living well and laughing his a$$ off at us.
It fit the narrative in the US to believe he was in a cave--otherwise how come we can't find him??
His approval numbers will shoot up for a week.
Then the price of gas will shoot up and the public will remember that he's a dick.
They can talk him up all they want but it doesn't do anything to hide the fact that people have less food and gas to show for their paychecks.

I am sure they anticipated the conspiracy theories and have documented evidence of his body. Personally I wanted it to be thrown into a hog pen, videoed, and broadcast throughout the 'slim world. At least by dumping it into the ocean no particular area will become a shrine.
Navy SEALs again prove their badassery.
My brother sent me a text message last night when he heard the news, said UBL was dead, I replied he was dead at birth, his body merely caught up to him at last.
I'm glad he's dead, but my elation is dampened by the fact that we knew he was in Pakistan and as such had to have help from Pakistani's to stay there...that it took so long to get him is annoying as hell and illustrates how a lack of intelligence and resolve in our political leadership and kowtowing to political sideshows can tie our own hands.
I'm proud of my Navy and their role in taking this evil bastard down. It is the soldiers, sailors, flyboys and marines that deserve to celebrate and we should celebrate them for all they have done for us! Politicians who have done nothing deserve no thanks, they have not done all that they could do to assist our service members. This is a military victory, not a political victory, period!
Well done my brethren!

I'm a little disappointed in the "buried according to Islamic practice" statement, but no specifics were offered beyond he was buried (at sea) "within 24" hours of death. Part of me hopes he was otherwise defiled. But another evil guy is dead, and that is a good thing. But I hope someone stuck a syringe full of raw pigs plug into his ass! No shrine is good, and if the scuzlims go nuts and lash out, so much the better...like smoking out bees...start pickin' 'em off!

WASHINGTON – Helicopters descended out of darkness on the most important counterterrorism mission in U.S. history. It was an operation so secret, only a select few U.S. officials knew what was about to happen.
The location was a fortified compound in an affluent Pakistani town two hours outside Islamabad. The target was Usama bin Laden.
Intelligence officials discovered the compound in August while monitoring an Al Qaeda courier. The CIA had been hunting that courier for years, ever since detainees told interrogators that the courier was so trusted by bin Laden that he might very well be living with the Al Qaeda leader.
Nestled in an affluent neighborhood, the compound was surrounded by walls as high as 18 feet, topped with barbed wire. Two security gates guarded the only way in. A third-floor terrace was shielded by a seven-foot privacy wall. No phone lines or Internet cables ran to the property. The residents burned their garbage rather than put it out for collection. Intelligence officials believed the million-dollar compound was built five years ago to protect a major terrorist figure. The question was, who?
The CIA asked itself again and again who might be living behind those walls. Each time, they concluded it was almost certainly bin Laden.
President Barack Obama described the operation in broad strokes Sunday night. Details were provided in interviews with counterterrorism and intelligence authorities, senior administration officials and other U.S. officials. All spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive operation.
By mid-February, intelligence from multiple sources was clear enough that Obama wanted to "pursue an aggressive course of action," a senior administration official said. Over the next two and a half months, Obama led five meetings of the National Security Council focused solely on whether bin Laden was in that compound and, if so, how to get him, the official said.
Normally, the U.S. shares its counterterrorism intelligence widely with trusted allies in Britain, Canada, Australia and elsewhere. And the U.S. normally does not carry out ground operations inside Pakistan without collaboration with Pakistani intelligence. But this mission was too important and too secretive.
On April 29, Obama approved an operation to kill bin Laden. It was a mission that required surgical accuracy, even more precision than could be delivered by the government's sophisticated Predator drones. To execute it, Obama tapped a small contingent of the Navy's elite SEAL Team Six and put them under the command of CIA Director Leon Panetta, whose analysts monitored the compound from afar.
I'm so very proud of our armed forces on a job well done. ::USA::
I've heard that Osama was finally caught due to intelligence gathered from interogating a Gitmo detainee who pinpointed the trusted courier,and turned out to be housing Osama in Pakistan.
I'm anticipating some leftie asking me if I'm proud of Obama, and I'll say if Obama gives credit to Gitmo interrogation officers, I'll give him credit for giving the kill command.
Gitmo vindicated

Actually, if they have any brains at all, that's the last thing they should claim. Any retaliation at all would nullify a "mission accomplished" statement. They're pretty stupid but I don't think they are THAT stupid as to forget how they beat the sh*t out of GWB for years over a sign on a carrier that he had nothing to do with.
Now there is only one terror mastermind unaccounted for...

First off, regarding my wager on the Obama/Osama name confusion in the media, I have been up for an hour and have already stumbled across my first one...
If it turns out that Abu Faraq al Libbi coughed up his intel during a waterboarding session, it will just piss all over the Leftist narrative. Thus I would look for an effort to avoid that information being revealed.I just corrected my above post. Fox claimed KSM did also provide the name of the courier, but I have only found evidence that Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, Abu Zubayda and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri were waterboarded, although al Libbi did experience enhanced interogation techniques, it may come to light that he got the trickle down treatment as well.
The Obama administration has photographs of Osama bin Laden’s dead body and officials are debating what to do with them and whether they should be released to the public, officials tell ABC News.
“There’s no doubt it’s him,” says a US official who has seen the pictures and also reminds us that OBL was 6’4”.
The argument for releasing them: to ensure that the public knows and can appreciate that he's dead. There is of course skepticism throughout the world that the US government claim that it killed bin Laden is true.
The argument against releasing the pictures: they’re gruesome. He has a massive head wound above his left eye where he took bullet, with brains and blood visible. :D
In July 2003, the US government released photographs of Saddam Hussein’s dead sons Uday and Qusay Hussain but not until after they’d been touched up by a mortician, making them look not quite real.
Last night I recommended a betting pool be created to see how many times the MSM slips with the names which would prove how out of practice they are in using the name, since they intentionally have tried to downplay his existence since Obama was elected.QuoteFirst off, regarding my wager on the Obama/Osama name confusion in the media, I have been up for an hour and have already stumbled across my first one...

Yes, the grownups know this. Very few of them will actually say it but they know that it's the truth nonetheless.

The fact that the initial tip about the courier emerged from detainee interrogations needs to be unpacked. Were any “enhanced interrogation techniques” used to obtain information about the courier? KSM and al Libbi are two of the small number of detainees who were waterboarded, a technique Obama and current CIA chief Leon Panetta have repeatedly decried as torture. There can be little question that both Al Libbi and KSM were questioned about the courier, whom the CIA was pursuing aggressively, according to the senior administration official:
QuoteFour years ago, we uncovered his identity, and for operational reasons, I can’t go into details about his name or how we identified him, but about two years ago, after months of persistent effort, we identified areas in Pakistan where the courier and his brother operated. Still we were unable to pinpoint exactly where they lived, due to extensive operational security on their part. The fact that they were being so careful reinforced our belief that we were on the right track.
Then in August 2010, we found their residence, a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, a town about 35 miles north of Islamabad. The area is relatively affluent, with lots of retired military. It’s also insolated [sic] from the natural disasters and terrorist attacks that have afflicted other parts of Pakistan.

I stand in awe of your obvious iron-clad constitution. It takes a strong stomach to withstand more than a microsecond of jerry rivers :o
Sorry, but that's a well known fake picture. Ace documented that first thing this morning.I saw the picture last night before Obama gave his speech. Its been around the internet for some time.
When the administration says OBL was buried at sea and that his body was handled "according to Islamic tradition", does that mean they dragged Osama Bin Laden's naked corpse down dirt roads behind a Toyota pickup before sawing off his head and then waving his severed head in front of cameras while screaming "God is great"?
Just wondering.

Hey wait a minute. I thought that's what the left has been telling us for years... "Don't enter sovereign countries that haven't done ANYTHING to us and kill people because it will just anger them and act as a 'recruiting tool' for terrorist organizations. It will just cause them to kill more Americans"
My response to that was the same as yours. If it recruits more slimballs and they all come to the same place, I call that a target rich kill zone.

I've tried to get excited about the Bin Laden news, and tried to get pumped-up for the military and the guys who they say "took him out", but I find myself completely unable to believe any of this. Bin Laden, like most muslims, was very inbred, and had a genetic kidney defect. He had been in a state of renal failure for years. I was working off the assumption that he had been dead for a very long time - hence no videos from him.
Now, just as Obama is tanking in the polls, inflation is soaring and on the cusp of a massive acceleration, Obama commits a proven felony by releasing a proved forged birth certificate, his father's extremely unflattering records are released, Bin Laden is suddenly "killed" on the same date that GWB did his "mission accomplished" speech, and the press conference is timed and delayed so as to completely pre-empt Donald Trump's television show. Oh, and there are no photographs released and the body was "buried at sea" within a matter of hours.
I really want to believe that our Boys brought the awesomeness, but I'm really, really struggling with all of this. Call me cynical. I guess being lied to by Communists unceasingly for years on end will do that to a person.
Rush is following the same line of thought on waterboarding making this operation possible. He also reminded us about the lefts opposition to rendition operations, which this obviously was, even though Bin Laden didn't live long enough to get water sprinkled over his head.

The thing that still amazes me, in a profoundly good way, was the spontaneous celebration in Times Square after midnight.
I wonder if the so-called Arab street noticed this. We celebrated without organizing from the local imam, not in the convenient afternoon, and certainly not within walking distance. You can run, you can hide, but we'll get ya in the end, bitches.
I had a cardio appointment today and handed out mini Tootsie Rolls. Some people got it and devoured the Tootsie Rolls with a smile on their faces.
My co-worker one-upped me this morning.
I told him if I was Prez I would want that kill trophy prominently displayed...ala Vlad the Impaler, Osama's head on a pike on the WH lawn complete with flood lighting.
My co-worker said Osama's carcass should have been paraded around the nation for people to spit or whatever upon...
I am starting to really like my co-worker's idea!
Now I'm hearing the second guy who gave us the name of the courier was a detainee subjected to rendition at one of the secret CIA foreign intelligence installation. Could this be a 2-for-1 vindication for both Gitmo and secret rendition?!
What do you think they plugged his ass with? A 5.56mm from a M4 carbine, or 9mm from a MP5 submachine gun? If it was a 5.56 the whole back of his rag-covered head would've been blown off.

Officials say CIA interrogators in secret overseas prisons developed the first strands of information that ultimately led to the killing of bin Laden.
9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed provided the nom de guerre of one of bin Laden's most trusted aides. The CIA got similar information from Mohammed's successor, Abu Faraj al-Libi.
Both were subjected to harsh interrogation tactics inside CIA prisons in Poland and Romania.
Former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney defended waterboarding in 2008 after it was authorised for use on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other accused Al Qaeda members during 2002 and 2003.

There is some speculation that the recent 650 million pound "aid" given to Pakistan by Britain was actually a bribe to enable this operation. Who knows? It's as plausible as anything. Pakistan is deeply interwoven into Islamism.
And I'm starting to believe all this Pakistaaaaaan knew nothing about this is BS all this is is us giving cover to somebody inside the Paki government. There is no way that we just went into Pakistaaan and crossed into their air space and had a 40 minute fire fight and flew back out un challenged is nuts. In day to come we will start to hear that Pakistaaaan is on fire over this as they start to piece it together in the AQ organization.
We had help even if it was in the form of silence.

I would think that if Pakistan was given any notice about the operation it was probably about ten or fifteen minutes before it had boots on the ground. There is every reason to believe that if Pakistan had any more prior knowledge of the attack then OBL would have been long gone by the time we got there.
I see no reason why we could not get into a "third world country but with nukes" covertly.
If the operation took place entirely within the compound then any Pakistani military types (active or retired) would have had to deal with the semi-impregnable walls that surrounded the place.
All speculation though, eh?
QuoteAll speculation though, eh?
For sure.
Another thought about the noise, noise suppressors and surprise. There may not have been as much clatter as I originally speculated. Is that sound suppression of rotors a movie accessory or a reality?
So it's within reason to think he was bribing some key figures in the Pakistani government, plus the more troubling thing is that the Pakis largely sympathize with OBL. They're for damn sure no "allies".
The only sensible conclusion as far as I'm concerned is that the Pakistanis knew exactly what it was and were tacitly protecting its residents by allowing it to be so close to their own facilities.

Before dawn Monday morning, a pair of helicopters left Jalalabad in eastern Afghanistan. The choppers entered Pakistani airspace using sophisticated technology intended to evade that country's radar systems, a U.S. official said.
Muslim clerics are predicting revenge attacks against American targets because of the way the government decided to dispose of the leader's body.
A wide range of Islamic scholars interpreted it as a humiliating disregard for the standard Muslim practice of placing the body in a grave with the head pointed toward the holy city of Mecca.
"I think the accomplishment that very brave personnel from the United States government were able to realize yesterday is a defining moment in the war against al-Qaida, the war on terrorism, by decapitating the head of the snake known as al-Qaida," Brennan said.
Oh dear, we've done it now. The Muzzies are all up in arms about the treatment of OBL's bullet-ridden, leaking remains.

Well if we'd followed their example, he wouldn't have had a head to point towards Mecca. If it makes them feel any better, they can imagine that he will soon be distributed amongst several shark turds pointing towards Mecca.

We could settle the "head pointed toward Mecca" issue in several ways I can imagine. For that custom to be followed requires a scuzlim corpse with an intact head, and the city of Mecca. Eliminate either of those factors, and the 'Slims will have to find a new custom.
That's a good point pan. I think an honest look at how best to make war against islam would lead any sane person to conclude that we should piss all over the very notion that they adhere to a religion we recognize as legitimate, and go from there.

I wonder if the so-called Arab street noticed this. We celebrated without organizing from the local imam, not in the convenient afternoon, and certainly not within walking distance. You can run, you can hide, but we'll get ya in the end, bitches.
I had a cardio appointment today and handed out mini Tootsie Rolls. Some people got it and devoured the Tootsie Rolls with a smile on their faces.
There is some speculation that the recent 650 million pound "aid" given to Pakistan by Britain was actually a bribe to enable this operation. Who knows? It's as plausible as anything. Pakistan is deeply interwoven into Islamism.
What I can't imagine is a walled compound being constructed within a few hundred yards of a nation's #1 military academy (they keep likening it to the Pakistani version of Britain's Sandhurst) without somebody from the military/government wanting to know what it was. Whose property? Who lives there? Why the fortifications? The only sensible conclusion as far as I'm concerned is that the Pakistanis knew exactly what it was and were tacitly protecting its residents by allowing it to be so close to their own facilities.
Bin Laden still had access to a lot of money. They said he spent a few years moving from village to village in Waziristan. Upon reaching a new village he would request a meeting with the local honcho and pay a substantial bribe. The very few locals who agreed to report on his movements were always later found sans head. So it's within reason to think he was bribing some key figures in the Pakistani government, plus the more troubling thing is that the Pakis largely sympathize with OBL. They're for damn sure no "allies".
Ah, yes... that's what it is: (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5goImUTnFgQHITWZJdbpPLB6lngWA?docId=ec68f068e92f4c649eb81332d190b7e6)
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. intelligence officials believe Osama bin Laden made a propaganda recording shortly before his death and expect that tape to surface soon.
It is unclear whether the tape is audio or video, but a U.S. official says that intelligence indicates it is already working its way through al-Qaida's media pipeline. The official said the timing was coincidental and there is no indication he knew U.S. forces were bearing down on him.
A new recording from bin Laden would provide a final word from the beyond grave for a terrorist who taunted the U.S. with recorded propaganda for years. It could also provide fodder to those who insist he is still alive.
So it isn't really the final video. Maybe someday...I would pay good money for the head cam vid.
Well if we'd followed their example, he wouldn't have had a head to point towards Mecca. If it makes them feel any better, they can imagine that he will soon be distributed amongst several shark turds pointing towards Mecca.
And in all these pages of the thread, let us take a moment to recognize the US NAVY for waxing that son of a bitch!

Yeah I'm just a little bit biased, dad is a Navy vet and his dad before him rode amphibious landing craft into Japanese machine gun fire. Go Navy!
Snag & Bag that bastard Musharraf and roast his nuts over a fire to find out what he knows!
...Vindication for warrantless wiretapping.

I don't know what you guys are talking about.
Obama figured out where OBL was without any help from anyone. He just thought it up.
Then, after he ordered the assassination squad into position, he pulled the trigger himself by way of astral projection.
Beginning to end this was an all Obama operation and he deserves all of the credit for everything...investigation, development and even execution of the plan. His brilliance is such that there are days when he outshines the sun.
Seriously though...
Did anyone catch the part in his self congratulatory speech where he said this...
[blockquote]Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.[/blockquote]

The death of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden in a U.S. raid in Pakistan has helped President Obama’s standing with the public, according to overnight polls released on Tuesday.
The president’s overall approval rating jumped upward nine points to 56%, according to a survey released by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press and the Washington Post.
<snip>
third poll shows that Americans have more faith in Obama as commander in chief, which could translate into political support. The USA Today/Gallup poll found that 32% said they feel more confident in Obama as commander while 21% said they feel a little more confident. Some 39% in the Ipsos-Reuters poll said that their view of Obama’s leadership had improved in the wake of the raid.
<snip>
Pew and CNN polls noted that Obama’s rating on how he is handling the economy has brought down the overall numbers. Pew found that 40% of those surveyed approved of how the president has handled the economic issues while 55% disapprove, about the same as in April. CNN noted that the president’s approval rating on the economy had slipped three points while his approval on national security issues rose.

"which could translate into political support"-- in their dreams
That courier was identified and traced on a phone call that was wiretapped by US intelligence. While we don't know if the call was coming from inside the US or outside the US, one could make a case that if that key call were coming from inside the US and if the warrant process had gotten in the way, that call would have been missed without warrantless wiretapping authorization, and UBL would still be at large.
Vindication for warrantless wiretapping.

Hard leftists do not like the death. Probably not polled. Many see it as a vindication of policies obama opposed initally, so I can't see this group having any more confidence......Who is left?
My big concern is that they'll make every effort to downplay the heroism of the soldiers involved. Remember the rescue of Jessica Lynch? The guys on Flight 93 over Shanksville - "let's roll!"?
I'm sorry but those guys who rappelled into Osama's compound are the baddest bad-a$$es on the planet. There is no way those disgusting libtards are going to change that. ::USA::
Hell, if they can figure out a way to do it they'll make bin Laden the greatest American hero before it's all said and done. Watching these people literally trip over themselves and drool at the prospect of turning this in to a reversal of fortune for the Chimpanzee in Chief is really something to behold.

Whatever giant brain thought up the name "Operation Geronimo" for taking out bin Laden is now the target for some major sht from whatever Indian (feather, not dot) tribe claims offense, according to the "news".
here (http://mostlycajun.com/wordpress/?p=13692).
I'm saying that Obama will stay on record as opposing its release and if that becomes unpopular, suddenly the NYT will have it leaked to them by some low level staffer who normally would not have access to it unless Obama wanted it leaked.
Okay, what do we have here.
1) There was a firefight.
2) There was no firefight.
3) Bin Laden was “resisting.”
4) Bin Laden wasn’t armed. (Makes the concept of “resisting” interesting.)
5) He used his wife as a shield.
6) His wife was killed too.
7) He didn’t use his wife as a shield, she ran at a SEAL who shot her in the leg, but she’s fine.
Some other woman – the maid? – was used as a shield. By somebody. Downstairs.
9) That other woman – downstairs – was killed.
10) Maybe not. She was killed unless she wasn’t – and who was she, anyway?
11) Bin Laden’s son was killed.
12) Unless it was some other guy.
13) Bin Laden’s daughter saw him get killed. She’s undoubtedly traumatized, poor dear.
14) They were going to capture Bin Laden until the problem with the helicopter, which was:
A) It had mechanical trouble
B) It did a hard landing
C) It crashed
D) It clipped a wall with a tail rotor, effectively a crash
15.) They were never going to try to capture him, it was always a kill mission.
16.) No it wasn’t.
17) The chopper blew up.
18) The SEALs blew it up.
19.) Panetta said yesterday the world needed proof, the photo would be released.
20.) Obama said today in an interview he taped with Steve Kroft for “60 Minutes” to be broadcast Sunday that it won’t be released. It’s too gruesome, would offend Muslim sensibilities (something he worries about a lot – I personally do not give a warm fart on a wet Wednesday about Muslim sensibilities), and how would Americans feel if Muslims released pictures of dead Americans?
21.) Kroft – whose not a total idiot – pointed out that ever since “Black Hawk Down” days, Muslims have been doing precisely that, filming American bodies being dragged through the streets, filming Daniel Pearl’s head being cut off, filming any and everything.
22) Obama gets pissed at CBS, the tape gets cleaned up, that question disappears. (Inside info.)
23.) We got a “treasure trove” of stuff from hard drives, etc.
24.) There were no phone lines, and no internet access at the “mansion,” they didn’t even have TV – what “treasure trove?”
25.) There is obviously in the pictures of the place a large satellite dish. I guess they used it for making salads.
26.) And now, just today: apparently the idea was to capture him, but only if he was naked. There was a suspicion he might be wearing a suicide bomber type explosive vest, or belt. So if he’s not naked and you can’t see if he has a vest on or not – shoot him.
The idiot Carney – they actually managed to find someone who makes Gibbs look good – is currently twisting himself into knots trying to explain why the photograph that the whole world was expecting isn’t going to be released. (Obviously the thing to do is get Trump on the case, he’ll force Obama to release it.)
The military did great, the administration – or whatever that bunch is, kind of like “The Little Rascals” – have managed to turn it into spaghetti. The story has changed so many times in the course of a mere three days it’s a joke – the world would be better off if Panetta had left the little sh*twit on the golf course.
The blush is swiftly coming off the rose regarding this operation and Stymie can take credit for THAT too !
