| President Barack Obama has admitted that giving the green light to the raid that killed Osama bin Laden was 'a flip of the coin' decision. The president revealed he was only 50 per cent confident that the man spotted by the C.I.A. living in an Abbottabad compound was the world's most wanted terrorist, according to a new book that weaves together accounts from Obama and top decision-makers on the events leading up to the daring operation and it's aftermath. 'This is 50–50,' Obama said, silencing the small group of senior officials gathered in the situation room.

Since Obama does not bother to go to his security briefings, how did he know?
With Obama is is always all about Obama.
Obama reminds me of the Little Red Rooster who thinks he makes the sun rise.

Soooooo I guess the ones who said he had to be drug in off the golf course and fitted with a jacket over his golfing shirt were just liars. Oh, okay.
I guess my question would be, who WAS the guy (if anyone) who was murdered that night. Or did Osama Obama just mysteriously get relief from his kidney ailment and didn't need to use that machine any more, because there evidently wasn't one in his house.

Obama is milking it for all it is worth. He seems to believe, and to want Americans to believe, that simply carrying out the business of the American people, i.e. doing the job he sought and was elected to do, merits endless rounds of applause. He thinks he deserves a medal for making a tough decision - and his idea of a tough decision appears to be one that could cost him politically. And he keeps trying to hog all the credit for the Bin Laden raid. Such boasting becomes neither the man nor the office. He really should give it a rest. It is becoming more of a turn off all the time. Except to the Islamists, of course. They find such bragging to be a source of continual inspiration.

Remember Osama had several body doubles, and some authorities claimed the real Osama had died a few years before he was "killed." Two bits the Seals were told to kill "Osama," rather than letting him live, to prevent DNA proving otherwise. Apparently it was worth not taking this guy captive and trying to get vital intelligence out of him. And disposing of the body by deep-sixing it in the vast ocean waters.

I just finished reading "No Easy Day"--yesterday-- which was written by an operator who was approximately ten feet from Bin Laden when he went home to Allah. If the author's account is deemed to be accurate, both this story and the hog-wash put out by the White House have many inaccuracies. In the case of the White House version, though, we can be sure that they are not actual inaccuracies but the usual dose of deliberate lies for which they have become accustomed to feeding us. One of the most startling differences is that the CIA person in charge of tracking Bin Laden....a task she was married to for approximately ten years....was 100% certain UBL was in the compound.

I don't believe for a second that Obama has anything of value to say - or ever did. He has NO experience other than total B.S. and from what I've read he was also a horrible community organizer.
Oh, his one accomplishment might have been in participating in the lawsuit that inspired the rats to mandate the banks give mortgages to minorities regardless of their financial status. Just imagine if you had been part of the cause of this debacle - could you go in public and act like you had nothing to do with it, make hay of it, accuse others of doing it? This is the sick you know what who flashes that phony smile and expects white guilt to let him continue destroying a country he leads and hates.
He's very possibly the biggest fraud ever and certainly has perpetrated the biggest heist in all of history. Trillions!

When you order up a special operations mission a factor referred to as Murphy's law is always lurking in the background ready to make an appearance at the most inopportune time. Anyone who has been in charge of anything in the military knows about old Murphy and his law and many have seen or felt Murphy's law show up.
In the case of Osama bin Laden, the American people expected, under the circumstances, that when bin Laden was located that the President, whoever that would be, would make every effort to take bin Laden out. Any President who denied such a mission would stand no chance of ever being re-elected. Making decisions like that are what Presidents are expected to do and are not "gutsy".

It was cynical. It was calculating. And it was done out of malice in a ham-fisted plot which went wrong. The trial spoke volumes about the sheer nastiness of the individuals involved.

A coral reef in Northern Australia severely damaged by warming seas has managed to completely heal itself in just 12 years, stunned researchers have found. The team found that being left alone to breed on its own was key. The discovery raises hope that other damaged reefs could ´regenerate´. The new research shows that an isolated reef off the northwest coast of Australia that was severely damaged by a period of warming in 1998. It was hit by coral bleaching, caused by higher water temperatures that break down the coral´s symbiotic relationship with algae that provide food for coral growth.

North Korea has loaded two intermediate-range missiles onto mobile launchers and hidden them in an unidentified facility near the east coast, South Korea´s Yonhap news agency has said. "It has been confirmed that North Korea, early this week, transported two Musudan mid-range missiles by train to the east coast and loaded them on vehicles equipped with launch pads," Yonhap quoted the official as saying.

As the US and China grow increasingly involved, Kim Jong-un must be brought into line if war is not to be triggered by an act of recklessness. There are two schools of thought about what lies behind North Korea’s increasingly frenzied posturing. The first goes like this: the rhetoric emanating from Pyongyang--including calls to “break the waists of the crazy enemies [and] totally cut their windpipes”--is no worse than their decades-old ritualistic promises to turn South Korea into a “sea of fire”. What we are witnessing, according to this theory, is nothing more than an inexperienced leader

Anyone who remembers the halcyon dreams of the 1990s, of civil society spreading the world over, heralding a new peaceful, global millennium, must marvel at the path the young 21st century has taken. Even those who paid attention to global Jihad before the millennium could not imagine how vulnerable the West would prove in the coming, wildly asymmetrical war. Those who, over the course of the last 13 years, have awakened to the ever-growing danger of Islamism and to the astonishing inability of decent people--Muslims and non-Muslims--to effectively oppose its aggressions, owe themselves a brief lesson in cognitive warfare, and

Mark Sanford won Tuesday’s GOP runoff over former Charleston County Councilman Curtis Bostic, according to unofficial results. Sanford now faces five more weeks on the campaign trail before a May 7 showdown with Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, whose business background and moderate politics are expected to create a tight contest. Lowcountry voters haven’t elected a Democrat from the 1st District for more than three decades, but Colbert Busch already has shown

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B.

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
