Quick to Accept the Credit, Praise and Kudos...But...

I'd like to read the leak and see what they had to say. Can you post it for us?

My opinion all along has been that the timing was closely connected to the re election campaign. I am sure there are many things that go on that get tied to it. Like I just heard that gas prices will be going down soon. I wonder how that happened and how closely politics is involved there and who will take credit?

Of course ya know I think the same as you

I don't mind this too much. The info was obviously solid and it was apparent that bin Laden wasn't going anywhere. So if it is true Obama knew the window was open and waited for weeks or longer before giving the green light, I'm okay with it. Like or dislike the man, I think most of us can agree that he's a populous guy whose need to be liked is heavily apparent in the way he carries himself constantly. The head tilts up for praise and adoration. The eyes squint and his lips pucker when there's dissent around him. He's the most political politician I have ever seen in my entire life. If it's true it doesn't really get under my skin that much. Everything he's did in office thus far has been strictly political, except for, by and large, how he has handled terror. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. If he wavered, I'm willing to believe it's because he's simply not a decisive man. I give the credit where it's due. But this one instance doesn't make or break my opinion about Obama's leadership. I still think it is sorely lacking. Having every single aspect of the operation set up, waiting for the yes or no, is different than a lot of the other problems we face at home, where his leadership is needed and is decidedly absent. In my opinion, Obama handles the war on terror well because he hasn't tampered with as much as he claimed he would during his campaign. For that reason, I don't mind that he gets the credit for things that were in already in place when he was saying how bad they were to gain initial support. He's a politician, a shcmuck in my estimation. But bin Laden is no more and I'm fine if someone wants to pour the praise on.

Does this "leak" have any source? Is there any reason to believe it originates anywhere near the eastern seaboard, let alone the White House?

Informed sources are rarely as informed as they would have others believe. A blog isn't the place to find news, it is a place to find 'informed sources' and innuendo. I read through the blogs offered and found the term 'temporary coup' a disturbing one. I find it even more disturbing that there appears to be a faction in the US that condones the notion. Other sources are suggesting that this was a 'kill mission'. Which if had any veracity would mean that a portion of our Armed Forces were used as executioners without authority of the courts. If, as hinted, in other articles, from legitimate news sites, Osama bin Laden did not offer resistance (reports are now indicating that one one shot was fired by the opposition), Osama bin Laden should have been apprehended and brought to trial in the World Court. There is little doubt he would have been found guilty and sentenced appropriately. I imagine there will be many more 'informed insiders' coming forward over the next few months, can't say I am looking forward to any of it. The fire fight story at least let the nation feel as though this 'operation' was justified from beginning to end. The political spins being done, the question of exactly what the mission was, leaves justification in question. If it was a 'kill mission', it makes us no better than them, we just went on a smaller scale.

I agree that this is yet another political ploy. that seems to be Obamas MO

Sleazy and repugnant is what Obama is. He remains the greatest and most potent threat to our nation and the world, BY HIS OWN CONTINUED CHOICES AND DECEPTION. The thought of this America-hating, Muslim terrorist- loving criminal at the site of Ground Zero taking credit for something "good" when all he does is "bad", and feigning "American pride", while actually gloating in Muslim taqiyya deception and TRIUMPH is beyond disgusting. See www.atlah.org, especially the posting "I'll See the Goose Pick the Grass off Obama's Grave". For the better part of the past three years, most thinking Americans have been aware of the unnatural hold this monster has on our Congress, courts, the media, etc. It's easy to see the "race card" aspect of this Soros, Arab, Marxist, Chicago radical, criminal plan and vendetta against America, but it goes way deeper. It is dark and is the very core of evil. Be warned; be prepared. Americans need to either rise up or die to their own freedom at his hand.
