Something I was thinking about was Donald Trumps raising the issue about the birth certificate, then bam Osama dead. The president announces it, and this is what seems like this is all a big circus, during The Apprentice.
I'm in Australia and we have our fair share of idiots who are overjoyed with this media circus. I couldn't care less about Obama, but all this seems like one big Hollywood blockbuster.

Another reason why it stinks. 20 or so heavily armed Seals - 40 minute firefight and only three people killed? When most of the bad guys were competent with weapons? Who was shooting for 40 minutes, at whom, and why was there no local alarm raised, or military backup brought in (the academy was only a few minutes away, and the area populated with retired Pakistani generals. Where was the bodyguard for OBL? OBL himself was moderately comfortable with an AK47. High walls alone do not a defence make.
There is something missing from the story.

BS! This thread is all about Obama can do nothing right but Bush can do no wrong. You guys can't even be happy that this killer was killed. Either now or ten years ago. You guys just can't accept Obama gave the order to waste this guy.
Why don't you start a thread entitled "Obama can do no right?" This might get me a warning but I don't care. This is America damn it! That madman killed 3000 of our Americans. But you guys don't give a crap do you? All you care about is de-legitimizing anything Obama does.

Something else that confuses me is that we detain anybody suspected of having any connection to terrorism, but when it comes to the most wanted terrorist in ever, they kill him there on the spot? someone like Bradley Manning is held in disturbing conditions, while OBL gets a free ticket out of this hellhole?
man that statement really stuck in my head!. great writing!!!! i too wish i was unaware of the lies...

I can't be the only one that remembers them saying that he was killed a few days prior to the announcement. Then maybe 10 minutes later, on the same station, they were saying that it happened on Sunday. When I brought this up to my father he said "maybe they got it mixed up".
