Title: Osama Bin Laden - Conspiracies, staged, caught then shot
Post by: Coach is Back! on May 03, 2011, 08:47:48 AM
Years of intelligence gathering, including details gleaned from controversial interrogations of Al Qaeda members during the Bush administration, ultimately led the Navy SEALs who killed Usama bin Laden to his compound in Pakistan.

The initial threads of intelligence began surfacing in 2003 and came in the form of information about a trusted bin Laden courier, a senior U.S. official told Fox News on condition of anonymity. Bin Laden had cut off all traditional lines of communication with his network by this time because the Al Qaeda leader knew the U.S. intelligence community was monitoring him. It was said that he also didn't even trust his most loyal men to know his whereabouts and instead communicated only through couriers.

But it was four years later, in 2007, that terror suspects at the Guantanamo Bay military prison started giving up information about the key courier.

Around this time, the use of enhanced interrogation tactics, including waterboarding, a form of simulated drowning, were being denounced as torture by critics of the Bush administration. President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney came under intense pressure for supporting rough treatment of prisoners. Critics claimed that any information given under duress simply couldn't be trusted.

It is an argument that Bush and Cheney strongly rejected then, and now.

"I would assume that the enhanced interrogation program that we put in place produced some of the results that led to bin Laden's ultimate capture," Cheney told Fox News on Monday, a hint of vindication in his voice.

The White House on Tuesday sought to downplay the role that Bush-era interrogations played in gathering the information that led to bin Laden's death.

"Some of it came from individuals who were in custody. Some of it came from human sources," counterterrorism adviser John Brennan told Fox News. "But there was no single bit of information that was instrumental."

Brennan acknowledged that "those in detention" provided key information, but stressed that it was obtained in a variety of different ways.

"Sometimes they gave us information willingly," Brennan said, adding that sometimes they gave misinformation and sometimes they inadvertently spilled clues that unlocked other intelligence.

"This was a painstaking ... body of work that was done that was over the course of many, many years," he said.

Former Bush administration officials, as well as Republican lawmakers, have given President Obama and his national security team great credit for the daring operation Sunday that ended with bin Laden being shot to death by a CIA-led Navy SEALs team. But they also point to indications that the controversial interrogation program and information gleaned from detainees at Guantanamo Bay and at secret overseas prisons may have played a key role, in claiming Bush-era policies helped set the stage for Sunday's success.

"This really does stretch over two presidencies," former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told Fox News on Tuesday. "There's a long train here, and it leads back, I think, to good counterterrorism policies that were put in place in 2001."

Information was given up by prisoners, including 9/11 architect Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. U.S. officials described the courier as a talented protege and trusted associate of both Mohammed and Al Qaeda's No. 3 leader at the time, Abu Faraj al Libi. Both men were held at Guantanamo Bay.

U.S. officials were told the courier's name was known only to bin Laden's innermost circle.
By 2009, the U.S. intelligence community had a rough idea of where the courier operated: a region north of Islamabad, Pakistan. It was another year before this compound was identified in August 2010 as a likely home for a senior Al Qaeda member.

The compound was eight times the size of other homes in the affluent neighborhood, and the impressive 18-foot-high walls with barbed wire drew scrutiny from intelligence analysts.

By early this year, information from multiple intelligence sources, including the now-shuttered harsh interrogation program, as well as CIA operatives and Special Operations Forces on the ground in Afghanistan and Pakistan, were building a clearer case that the compound might house bin Laden. Officials found out that there were three families living there. In addition, a significantly older man, who was shown deference by the group, was not required to work on the compound.

Critics of the Bush-era interrogation programs have suggested that the harsh interrogations were not essential to tracking bin Laden and that the information could have been obtained by more humane means. But for Cheney and other Bush administration alumni, Sunday's raid stands as proof their system worked.

Negotiator's from the U.S., Israel, The Rothschilds, and China sat down with Bin Laden and hammered out a deal with a significant amount of cash and bonds being transferred into Bin Laden's offshore accounts.  The assassination/burial at sea front story was lifted from a Hollywood screenplay written by a Don Leonard.  Bin Laden will wind up in either the Swiss Alps or Brazil.

Senate Intel Chair: Torture Did Not Lead To Bin Laden In Any Way
Brian Beutler | May 3, 2011


More and more evidence suggests a key piece of intelligence -- the first link in the chain of information that led U.S. intelligence officials to Osama bin Laden -- wasn't tortured out of its source. And, indeed, that torture actually failed to produce it.

"To the best of our knowledge, based on a look, none of it came as a result of harsh interrogation practices," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee in a wide-ranging press conference.

Moreover, Feinstein added, nothing about the sequence of events that culminated in Sunday's raid vindicates the Bush-era techniques, nor their use of black sites -- secret prisons, operated by the CIA.

"Absolutely not, I do not," Feinstein said. "I happen to know a good deal about how those interrogations were conducted, and in my view nothing justifies the kind of procedures that were used."

This is a mix of fresh, on-the-record information and push back against Republicans -- many of them former Bush administration officials -- who are tying themselves in knots to claim that Bush's interrogation policies got the ball rolling on the bin Laden killing.


"I would assume that the enhanced interrogation program that we put in place produced some of the results that led to bin Laden's ultimate capture," said former Vice President Dick Cheney on Fox News.

Here's Rep. Peter King (R-NY), chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, also on Fox: "We obtained that information through waterboarding. So for those who say that waterboarding doesn't work, who say it should be stopped and never used again, we got vital information which directly led us to bin Laden."

However, multiple reports preceding Feinstein's remarks suggest that waterboarding failed to produce the key piece of information -- bin Laden's courier's nom de guerre.

Feinstein went even further, claiming that change to U.S. intelligence processes ushered in by the Obama administration were seminal in capturing bin Laden.

"I think the red-teaming of the intelligence was significant, and they red-teamed and red-teamed and red-teamed. And of course what that means is they looked for reasons why what they had as a piece of intelligence might not be accurate, or might indicate something else," Feinstein said. "And that's a very good process -- it's a solid process -- because it exposes weaknesses in the intelligence.... It didn't happen over the Iraq National Intelligence Estimate."

Feinstein further claimed that the Obama administration's decision to reconstitute the CIA's bin Laden unit -- which the Bush administration shuttered in 2005 -- was a key factor in the mission's ultimate success. "I think it was very crucial," she said. "I mean this has been there for a substantial period of time. People become experienced with the intelligence."

Not all Republicans are claiming that bin Laden's killing vindicates torture. At a Capitol press conference Tuesday afternoon, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) stood apart from his colleagues in the GOP. "This idea we caught bin Laden because of waterboarding I think is a misstatement," he said. "This whole concept of how we caught bin Laden is a lot of work over time by different people and putting the puzzle together. I do not believe this is a time to celebrate waterboarding, I believe this is a time to celebrate hard work."

Repubes Say Torture Led To bin Laden. Facts Say Otherwise.

You could see this one coming a mile off. Here's Dick Cheney on Fox News: "I would assume the enhanced interrogation program we put in place produced some of the results that led to bin Laden's ultimate capture.... We need to keep in place those policies that made it possible for us to succeed in this case."
Here's an AP story reiterating the same.

    Current and former U.S. officials say that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, 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.

Or how about the Heritage Foundation screaming "Detainee Interrogations: Key to Killing Osama bin Laden": "This lead was developed during the Bush Administration, most likely from al-Qaeda associates picked up and transferred to Guantanamo and subject to interrogations that critics have repeatedly deemed to be pointless in terms of intelligence value. Whether these detainees remain at Guantanamo is an open question." See, if Bush and Cheney hadn't been man enough to torture people, we never would have found bin Laden. Nine years later.

There's plenty more where that came from:

    * Rep. Steve King (R-IA) tweeted, "Wonder what President Obama thinks of water boarding now?"
    * Karl Rove said on Fox & Friends this morning: "I think the tools that President Bush put into place—GITMO, rendition, enhanced interrogation, the vast effort to collect and collate this information — obviously served his successor quite well."
    * Bush torture architect John Yoo says "Without the tough decisions taken by President Bush and his national security team, the United States could not have found and killed bin Laden. It is the continuity of policies in the war on terror that has brought success, not the misguided effort of the last two years to disavow them."

Let's revisit history, again, by going to the best source, Marcy Wheeler at emptywheel.The waterboarding of KSM, all 183 instances, occurred in March, 2003. The torture of al Libi happened in early 2002, after his November, 2001 capture.

As Marcy explained in an e-mail:

    Assuming they got the courier's name in 2005 or 2006, per reports, it happened 2 years or more after KSM's waterboarding.

    Which would say KSM withheld this information under waterboarding.

    And given how much time it took to actually get from the courier to the compound (presumably about 4 years), both KSM and al-Libi didn't give all that much on the courier(s).

KSML was waterboarded 183 times, presumably without revealing the name of the courier. And, since it took 183 tries, the efficacy of the whole enterprise can only be questioned. [Update: The following applies to Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, not to Abu Faraj al-Libi, who is sourced in the AP story. The lesson about the effectiveness of torture remains unchanged, but the timeline for Abu Faraj al-Libi is slightly different. See emptywheel for more on that.] But what the torture of al Libi "revealed" is even more damning for the pro-torturers's case.

    Having slipped off the radar, the government clearly does not want his case revived, not only because it may have to explain what has happened to him, but also because, as a result of the application of "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques," al-Libi claimed that Saddam Hussein had offered to train two al-Qaeda operatives in the use of chemical and biological weapons.

    Al-Libi's "confession" led to President Bush declaring, in October 2002, "Iraq has trained al-Qaeda members in bomb making and poisons and gases," and his claims were, notoriously, included in Colin Powell's speech to the UN Security Council on February 5, 2003. The claims were of course, groundless, and were recanted by al-Libi in January 2004, but it took Dan Cloonan, a veteran FBI interrogator, who was resolutely opposed to the use of torture, to explain why they should never have been believed in the first place. Cloonan told Jane Mayer, "It was ridiculous for interrogators to think Libi would have known anything about Iraq... The reason they got bad information is that they beat it out of him. You never get good information from someone that way."

What torture got us, in practical terms, was the Iraq debacle. And the complete and well-deserved debasement of our international standing. And a hell of a lot more anti-American terrorists.

The same liberals that always bash the military and protest war ect. Isn't Obama the guy that wants to make major cuts in military budget? The same President who hired lawyers to investigate Dick Cheney and the secret cia prisons that were built? Totally over the top. The same president who wants to give constitutional rights to terroists. Yes Obama is still a huge douche bagge. The guy got pretty lucky this whole Osama thing fell right into his lap.

No question that SOME of the Bush terror fighting policies were good and that is why Obama kept some of them after he took office.
He also must have realize they needed to keep some guys locked up in Gitmo as well.
An intelligent leader like Obama doesn't use/avoid a policy because someone else used it.
Obama combined what worked in the past with some new ideas that would work for the BEST overall policy.

Pres Obama showed good judgement and we got him. Give him credit and be fair here, End of story.

Read this.....


On release of a photograph depicting Osama bin Laden’s death:

LEON PANETTA: The government obviously has been talking about how best to do this, but I don't think there was any question that ultimately a photograph would be presented to the public.

On rules of engagement:
BRIAN WILLIAMS: Did the President's order read capture or kill or both or just one of those?
LEON PANETTA: The authorities we have on Bin Laden are to kill him. And that was made clear. But it was also, as part of their rules of engagement, if he suddenly put up his hands and offered to be captured, then-- they would have the opportunity, obviously, to capture him. But that opportunity never developed.

On Pakistani involvement:
BRIAN WILLIAMS: What did the Pakistanis know and when did they know it?
LEON PANETTA: The Pakistanis did not know anything about this mission… that was deliberate on our part that this would be conducted as a unilateral mission. President Obama had made very clear to the Pakistanis that if we had good evidence as to where Osama bin Laden was located we were going to go in and get him. And-- that's exactly what happened.
BRIAN WILLIAMS: Well, and I ask that because I'm curious as to why, given all the hardware, the garrison, the personnel, it-- retired military officers in that immediate area, why weren't the United States forces fired upon?
LEON PANETTA: Well, that was obviously a concern that was raised at the time we were considering this operation, which was going into this kind of sensitive area with helicopters and SEALs and landing on this compound-- would the Pakistanis suddenly respond and you know, try to pin down our forces. Frankly, we, you know, we considered all of those contingencies. That's why we had the backup helicopters in place.

On the role of interrogation:
BRIAN WILLIAMS: Can you confirm that it was as a result of water boarding that we learned what we needed to learn to go after Bin Laden?
LEON PANETTA: Brian, in the intelligence business you work from a lot of sources of information and that was true here… It's a little difficult to say it was due just to one source of information that we got… I think some of the detainees clearly were, you know, they used these enhanced interrogation techniques against some of these detainees. But I'm also saying that, you know, the debate about whether we would have gotten the same information through other approaches I think is always going to be an open question.
BRIAN WILLIAMS: So finer point, one final time, enhanced interrogation techniques -- which has always been kind of a handy euphemism in these post-9/11 years -- that includes water boarding?
LEON PANETTA: That's correct.

But it was also, as part of their rules of engagement, if he suddenly put up his hands and offered to be captured, then-- they would have the opportunity, obviously, to capture him. But that opportunity never developed.

On Pakistani involvement:
BRIAN WILLIAMS: What did the Pakistanis know and when did they know it?
LEON PANETTA: The Pakistanis did not know anything about this mission… that was deliberate on our part that this would be conducted as a unilateral mission. President Obama had made very clear to the Pakistanis that if we had good evidence as to where Osama bin Laden was located we were going to go in and get him. And-- that's exactly what happened.
BRIAN WILLIAMS: Well, and I ask that because I'm curious as to why, given all the hardware, the garrison, the personnel, it-- retired military officers in that immediate area, why weren't the United States forces fired upon?
LEON PANETTA: Well, that was obviously a concern that was raised at the time we were considering this operation, which was going into this kind of sensitive area with helicopters and SEALs and landing on this compound-- would the Pakistanis suddenly respond and you know, try to pin down our forces. Frankly, we, you know, we considered all of those contingencies. That's why we had the backup helicopters in place.

On the role of interrogation:
BRIAN WILLIAMS: Can you confirm that it was as a result of water boarding that we learned what we needed to learn to go after Bin Laden?
LEON PANETTA: Brian, in the intelligence business you work from a lot of sources of information and that was true here… It's a little difficult to say it was due just to one source of information that we got… I think some of the detainees clearly were, you know, they used these enhanced interrogation techniques against some of these detainees. But I'm also saying that, you know, the debate about whether we would have gotten the same information through other approaches I think is always going to be an open question.
BRIAN WILLIAMS: So finer point, one final time, enhanced interrogation techniques -- which has always been kind of a handy euphemism in these post-9/11 years -- that includes water boarding?
LEON PANETTA: That's correct.

Even if that was the case you seem to be taking some amount of pride in this. Those interrogation tactics were an embarrassment to this country and harmed our world image. Even John McCain said it. We don't torture. We don't go around the Geneva Conventions.

I voted for Obama but also know questionable actions/operations are always going on behind the scenes with every US President.
Bottom line is most of us will never really know exactly what kind of stuff hapnes behind the scenes with the CIA and special ops, etc
We just have to trust our President to act as moral and ethical as possible and still get the job done.
When dealing with terrorists, thngs are NOT going to be black and white, but gray.

We won this time and did it right.

You're denying it wasn't Bushs policies that were KEPT in place that helped lead the way to Bin Laden? You're saying this was entirely Obamas plan? You're fucking daffy if that's what you think. Remember dude, it was the left and Obama who wanted to stop the wire taps, water boarding and everything else Bush put into place, hell they even brought it to court because they (liberals) thought it was unconstitutional. Remember that Benny (and Feinstien)?

  "Coach", you and the fat bastard you worship are the two sorest losers ever. The bottom line is that Bush failed to get Bin Laden in 8 years whilst Obama got him in less than two. Deal with it.

  You conservatives are the stupidest people on Earth. You worship the Christian God and capitalism at the same time, even though the founder of your religion commanded his followers to give away all their wealth to the poor, expelled the traders from the temple and said that the meek shall inherit the Earth. Riddle me that, dumbass?

Obama is the President that got him and deserves the credit for being the comander -in -chief when it happened.
I have no doubt that some of the Bush era info may have helped get him.

This is a victory for the USA and a better world.
But yes, I just wish the right wing could give Obama credit without all the extra statements on Bush, etc.

Some people will only read certain articles and block their minds off to the others. The facts are facts. You may not like the guy but he did what he said he was going to do. Universal Health Care sucks but he damn well got it in there. People expect an economy to recover over night at the whim of a presidents fancy. There is an association with the president and the economy... how close that association is is hard to tell. We can't sit here and blame Obama for a bust economy though and then turn around and give Bush credit for Osama. Lets be real here. Lets also give credit to where it is really due which is our CIA and Special Ops units for making this happen.

It isn't just you coach. I log on to my facebook account and see the comments from some of these people who were literally 8 at the time 9/11 happened and have no knowledge of politics pawning off any success during this administration off onto Bush and any failure on to Obama. It is sickening. If the economy started to improve then it would be because of the economic policies put into place by bush 8 years ago. If it plummeted then it would be the dirty Muslim we have in office right now Barrack HUSSEIN Obama. Then you see these same people out in the street chanting USA like we are at the fucking Olympics. This is the worst image we want to be spreading out to the world. That is no better then the images of people cheering in the streets in the Middle East as the World Trade Centers came down. Personally i find it fucking disgusting to see people behaving like this over the death of a man. I don't care how evil someone is. We don't seek to better our image broadcasting this kind of stuff. When i read these comments that are blatant lies my ears get hot and i literally start to twitch in the face. I hear people spew this same ignorance at work and i can't even look them in the eye long enough to finish. Sometimes it is hard to just bite your tongue and turn the other way. I am glad we have the internet at times so i can vent like this.

C.I.A. Closes Unit Focused on Capture of bin Laden
By MARK MAZZETTI
Published: July 4, 2006

WASHINGTON, July 3 — The Central Intelligence Agency has closed a unit that for a decade had the mission of hunting Osama bin Laden and his top lieutenants, intelligence officials confirmed Monday.


The unit, known as Alec Station, was disbanded late last year and its analysts reassigned within the C.I.A. Counterterrorist Center, the officials said.

The decision is a milestone for the agency, which formed the unit before Osama bin Laden became a household name and bolstered its ranks after the Sept. 11 attacks, when President Bush pledged to bring Mr. bin Laden to justice "dead or alive."

Not going to happen, sorry. You're certainly allowed to continue dreaming if you like.

Since impeachment is off the table, you will be forced to vote for a number of GOP morons vying for the republican nomination. There will be a GOP comedy show debate this Thursday for you to watch. Good luck!  :D

Daughter, 12, Claims bin Laden Caught, Then Shot

Wednesday, 04 May 2011 09:44 AM

By Newsmax Wires


Osama bin Laden's 12-year-old daughter has told senior Pakistani officials that U.S. forces captured her father alive and then shot him, according to Alarabia.net. The shooting occurred within the first few minutes of the Navy SEALs' raid on bin Laden's opulent hiding place in Abbottabad.

Osama bin Laden, dead, daughter, capturedSenior Pakistani security officials said Osama bin Laden’s daughter had confirmed her father was captured alive and shot dead by the US Special Forces during the first few minutes of the operation carried out at the huge compound in Bilal Town, Abbottabad, Al Arabiya reported. 
 


Pakistani security officials claim that they recoverd four bullet-riddled bodies from the compound and arrested two women and six children, ages 2 to 12, after the U.S. forces flew toward Afghanistan. Some reports indicate that 16 people, mostly Arab nationals and including women and children, were arrested at the compound.

A Pakistani security source told Al Arabiya that bin Laden family members were taken to Rawalpindi, near Islamabad. “They are now under treatment in the military hospital of Rawalpindi, where they have been transported in an helicopter,” he said.

Sources speculated that the U.S. forces could not arrest the family members because there weren’t enough spots for them in the single helicopter remaining after they lost another chopper in the operation.

Title: Native Americans angered by OBL being called Geronimo
Post by: w8m8 on May 04, 2011, 09:07:21 AM
Quote
As news of bin Laden’s death spread relief across America and the world, revelations that the assigned code name of Enemy Number One was “Geronimo,” a legendary Apache leader, caused shock waves in Indian communities across the country. It is being interpreted as a slap in the face of Native people.
The death of bin Laden is arguably the most important news story of the year, and embedded within it is a message that an Indian warrior, a symbol of Native American survival in the face of racial annihilation, is associated with modern terrorism and the attacks on 9/11.

The “bin Laden is dead” news story will make thousands of impressions on the minds of people around the globe, and the name Geronimo will now be irrevocably linked with the world’s most reviled terrorist.

Potentially the most disturbing fact is what this says to American Indian children. It equates being Native American with being hated, an enemy to the world, and someone to be hunted down and killed, and re-casts one of their heroes into a villainous role.

Daughter, 12, Claims bin Laden Caught, Then Shot

Wednesday, 04 May 2011 09:44 AM

By Newsmax Wires


Osama bin Laden's 12-year-old daughter has told senior Pakistani officials that U.S. forces captured her father alive and then shot him, according to Alarabia.net. The shooting occurred within the first few minutes of the Navy SEALs' raid on bin Laden's opulent hiding place in Abbottabad.

Osama bin Laden, dead, daughter, capturedSenior Pakistani security officials said Osama bin Laden’s daughter had confirmed her father was captured alive and shot dead by the US Special Forces during the first few minutes of the operation carried out at the huge compound in Bilal Town, Abbottabad, Al Arabiya reported. 
 


Pakistani security officials claim that they recoverd four bullet-riddled bodies from the compound and arrested two women and six children, ages 2 to 12, after the U.S. forces flew toward Afghanistan. Some reports indicate that 16 people, mostly Arab nationals and including women and children, were arrested at the compound.

A Pakistani security source told Al Arabiya that bin Laden family members were taken to Rawalpindi, near Islamabad. “They are now under treatment in the military hospital of Rawalpindi, where they have been transported in an helicopter,” he said.

Sources speculated that the U.S. forces could not arrest the family members because there weren’t enough spots for them in the single helicopter remaining after they lost another chopper in the operation.



Awww..Poor little girl.. Imagine that? Them shooting a man who was responsible for killing thousands!?  They should have captured him,cut off his arm(at the elbow,then his leg(at the knee),and beat him with them,until he died from the beating, and while he bled out!

Post by: GRACIE JIU-JITSU on May 04, 2011, 12:01:50 PM

 It's just a question.. please don't get me wrong.



 As you likely know,  it was announced last night that earlier in the week Osama Bin Laden was killed by a small U.S. Navy SEAL team in a luxury compound in Pakistan.

I won’t pull punches – this makes me extremely happy. I’m not overly gung-ho about war, but in this case, I’m proud his life was ended by an American bullet to the head.

As I took a break to watch some television and internet coverage last night, the issue of the “cost” of the war and effort to find Bin Laden was brought into light.

The best research I could do found these statistics:

    1,000+ Coalition troops & contractors killed
    1,100+ U.S. Soldiers killed in Afghanistan
    2,974 American civilians killed in 9/11.
    3,000+ Injured American troops
    15,000+ Afghan troops & civilians killed
    45,000+ Injured Afghan troops
    $400,000,000,000+ spent.

These rough estimates only account for Afghanistan. By all accounts, when you add in the Iraq war, the numbers just get bonkers.

$400 billion dollars. That’s a lot of money, but doesn’t even come close to the value of the lives lost along the way.

No matter how you do the math, over the last nine and a half years we’ve paid a hefty price tag.

This begs the question… Was it worth it?

How do we define worth in a situation like this? How do you measure value? Is this a pyrrhic victory or cause for true celebration?

In my opinion, this had to happen. Bin Laden needed to be found and killed.

Because there’s only one question scarier than asking about the cost of killing Bin Laden…

What’s the cost of not killing Osama Bin Laden?

Thanks to an elite group of Navy SEALS, we no longer have to ponder that question.

Benny, I asked you this before and you ignored me so I'll ask again. Obama has a failed record, what do you think he's going to win on besides idiots like you that vote for him on his color or because he can read a teleprompter well. What's he going to run on?
I'll be happy to chime in here on this one coach.
For whatever reason(s), you won't sit back and make an objective evaluation of Pres Obama.
No matter what he does , you are going to find somehing to put a negative spin on it.

Now for the Obama record and his possible re-election:
He just proved he is a competent commnader -in -chief and can make good judgements when it comes to national security.
It would tough for the right wing to now say Obama is weak of national security now.
The numbers in the market ( DOW, S & P, etc) keep inching up since the fall of 2007-8.
This seems to be leading to job growth and may keep interest rates low.
If the republicans run away from the Ryan $$ plan, and get on board with job growth, that will help their cause. If, they keep talking about medicare vouchers for everyone under 55, they are screwed .
If the economy keeps showing some real improvement that the avg person sees in their own life, he wins in 2012 by a landslide.
However, if gas prices keep creeping up and unemployment rates don't get under 8% , he is at risk in 2012 depending on who the GOP nominates.

I would say my assessment on 2012 is pretty fair and objective.

Because there’s only one question scarier than asking about the cost of killing Bin Laden…

What’s the cost of not killing Osama Bin Laden?

Thanks to an elite group of Navy SEALS, we no longer have to ponder that question.



excuse my man, gracie, but he'd have a very objective look at this, given his homeland is overrun with german war criminals.  that being said, would it have been easier, just to put a $1B fisher price tag on him and let some douchebag in the mid-east drop his body off for the check vs all the carnage and dead sons and daughters over this one guy.  we're not talking another World War here, so loosing all those kids in the middle-east may not have been a necessary.  then again, presidents and leaders don't put their kids in the line of fire.

Post by: Coach is Back! on May 04, 2011, 04:19:12 PM
The photos are now widespread online and in newspapers, images of a confident President Obama striding toward the camera to announce the killing of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan.

Not so widespread, however, is the news that the photos weren’t from Obama’s actual history-making speech. According to a Reuters blog post, the photos were taken after Obama’s actual announcement, during a brief reenactment minutes later.

Jason Reed, a photographer, wrote: “As President Obama continued his nine-minute address in front of just one main network camera, the photographers were held outside the room by staff and asked to remain completely silent. Once Obama was off the air, we were escorted in front of that teleprompter and the President then re-enacted the walk-out and first 30 seconds of the statement for us.”

The reenactment isn’t the only way the administration has edited its media rollout of bin Laden’s death. In a widely used photo of Obama and his national security team in the Situation Room, what appears to be a picture near Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is blurred. The text below photo says the document is classified.

It is possible that the entity known solely as Barack Hussein Obama is but a cybernetic organism composed of a mimetic polyalloy that presents as liquid metal capable of rapid shapeshifting, near-perfect mimicry and rapid recovery from damage.

For all we know, Barack Obama could very well be the Antichrist.  I don't know Coach, but when a country can produce a well-mannered, highly eloquent and extremely smart negro capable of landing the most powerful job in the world, I fear that the end of times might be near.

 his health care bill has been nailed by most judges.. and i will bet my bottom dollar it gets repealed (as do many of his party).. and yes he looks good for national security but.. but.. that is because he kept the bush plans in place.. he told us all that he would do things different but still keeps the bush plans in place.. why? because they have worked in regards to national security..

 as for job growth.. wait til next week.. supposed to be a dismal report.. i work in the retail end of things and the spike you are seeing is from seasonal hiring.. it is temporary.. nothing more.. it falls offf dramtically in a few months...

 now i am not trying to non objective.. it is what it is.. if he wins re election it will be because the other team did not show up.. no one will vote him in because of bin laden.. they vote with their pocket books.. he was at 44% approval before the killing and will be back there in a month or so.. and heaven for bid we get hit by a attack.. this will wipe out any thoughts of great national security.. and trust me they will ramp up efforts now..

basically what you have is a guy who came in with absolutely no experience and was a idealogue in regards to his left leaning principals.. thats fine.. he got in and found out that america is not going to work that way.. november woke people up to that.. the largest upset in 40-50 years.. if that is not sending him a message then nothing is..

again, if he wins, and he could, it will be because of a "forfeit" by the other team.. not because of his great leadership..

What is with these ridiculous questions? No, it didn't put an end to the problem (obviously). There is no way to eradicate extremism totally.

Osama's death will cripple his terrorist networks. Osama was a living legend with jihadists.  He was seen by extremists as a freedom fighter and was worshiped as such. It's been said that his charisma and unique ability to twist ideas and events into motivational fodder, which inspired terrorists to take the next step, will not be easily duplicated - at least by anyone within the upper echelon of AQ. Simply put, the symbol that so many young jihadists based their life's work on is dead and gone. His ability to inspire and evoke extremism is silenced forever.

Recent uprising across the middle east prove young Muslims want freedom and democracy. Osama and his views are old hat man. Sure, you'll see acts of terror, but it's not the future for the middle east and the majority of its progressive youth. The bulk of middle easterners see the freedom and success westerners enjoy. Meanwhile, in their world, under oppressive governments that think it's still the 1600's, they struggle to feed their family's and find work, while their leaders live lavish lifestyles.

$400 billion dollars. That’s a lot of money, but doesn’t even come close to the value of the lives lost along the way.

No matter how you do the math, over the last nine and a half years we’ve paid a hefty price tag.

Negotiator's from the U.S., Israel, The Rothschilds, and China sat down with Bin Laden and hammered out a deal with a significant amount of cash and bonds being transferred into Bin Laden's offshore accounts.  The assassination/burial at sea front story was lifted from a Hollywood screenplay written by a Don Leonard.  Bin Laden will wind up in either the Swiss Alps or Brazil.

How big of a payout did the deal fetch?

 "Coach", you and the fat bastard you worship are the two sorest losers ever. The bottom line is that Bush failed to get Bin Laden in 8 years whilst Obama got him in less than two. Deal with it.

  You conservatives are the stupidest people on Earth. You worship the Christian God and capitalism at the same time, even though the founder of your religion commanded his followers to give away all their wealth to the poor, expelled the traders from the temple and said that the meek shall inherit the Earth. Riddle me that, dumbass?

SUCKMYMUSCLE

I just now realized you are a ponce.

I can hardly take you serious enough to address the rest of your post...For example, you are bashing religion yet at the same time you go out of your way to capitalize Christian God (a sign of respect). Make up your fucking mind.

No, wait, you fail to grasp even the simplest of concepts- that it simply took TIME to track down Bin Laden.

 Because, you know, Bush was lazy and all. Oh, wait, his only job was to direct the military to track the guy down, and sit back downing mojito's poolside. You think Obama is any different? Like he was what, phoning black ops types night and day trying to figure out where Bin Laden was?

Sad sad little man...

What is with these ridiculous questions? No, it didn't put an end to the problem (obviously). There is no way to eradicate extremism totally.

Osama's death will cripple his terrorist networks. Osama was a living legend with jihadists.  He was seen by extremists as a freedom fighter and was worshiped as such. It's been said that his charisma and unique ability to twist ideas and events into motivational fodder, which inspired terrorists to take the next step, will not be easily duplicated - at least by anyone within the upper echelon of AQ. Simply put, the symbol that so many young jihadists based their life's work on is dead and gone. His ability to inspire and evoke extremism is silenced forever.

Recent uprising across the middle east prove young Muslims want freedom and democracy. Osama and his views are old hat man. Sure, you'll see acts of terror, but it's not the future for the middle east and the majority of its progressive youth. The bulk of middle easterners see the freedom and success westerners enjoy. Meanwhile, in their world, under oppressive governments that think it's still the 1600's, they struggle to feed their family's and find work, while their leaders live lavish lifestyles.



I have to admit, I agree with this guy. Osama was a very influential person to middle easterners, especially those who embrace(d) radical Islam.

It is tough to imagine any kind of large scale attack happening in the future without his genius and passion (and money) driving radical islamists to their death.

good post. If Obama killed Bin Laden during Obama's 7 3/4 year as President, guys like Coach would still be saying its because of Bush. Bush's family was buddies with the Bin Laden family. You won't find any pictures of the Obama family with the Bin Laden family.Hmmm. Bush let the bastard live. And Obama said "fuck that" and had him killed.  It really may be as simple as that. Are you guys telling me that Chaney's "boys" didn't know that Bin Laden was living a mile away from Paki's military? Thats silly. Obama knew since his first day in office and waited until May 1(Hitlers exact day of death) to take him out. There is a divide in American government. And Obama's people took out Bush's and Cheney's dooms day boogie man.

MJ sold the hell outta some Gatorade. 

I think the only real problem with accounts of the genocide in Nazi-controlled is that there was no way to fully track the hundreds of thousands (millions, perhaps?) who escaped and assumed new identities.  While portions of a lifestyle and parts of one's history were stripped away for the sake of survival, at least those lives were spared.

From what i hear, not sure i believe it though, CIA were watching him/knew his location for a loooong time. Im not trying too sound cool or brag whtsoever but one of my good friends, Uncles has been in the CIA for about 30 yrs, from what my buddy told me, hes been living in AFGHANISTAN for years, but again, this is the internet, everybody has an uncle who works in the CIA or everybodys uncle/greatgrandfather was AL CAPONE or something like that.
