<em>Oh-oh!</em> What if the dead guy wasn't Osama bin Laden? | Top of the Ticket | Los Angeles Times

What did I fucking tell you?
PR nightmare.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Are you unaware of what your goddamn job is?
Hey dimbulb! You’re in fucking politics. Do you know what that means???
Um, obviously not. It means it is equally important how people, especially the people you need to have in your corner like, oh, the fucking voters, perceive you as it is important what you do. In fact you can do whatever you want the only thing that matters is what people say about what you do. Other peoples lives, careers and policies are on the line so someday it’d be nice if you could pull your arrogant self-centered head out of your ass and play along. Pretend you’re somebody who gives a shit about the people who elected you.

Would it have been too much to ask you to have a goddamn PR plan for this?
A picture? A canned story that everyone stuck to? Something resembling proof?
No, not the kind of proof that would turn birthers* into rational people, just the kind that would satisfy rational people.

Something to make these doubts go away. Better yet, be the sort of competant leader who comes out in front of the story and never lets this shit start up to begin with.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

*Still pissed at you for that one douche. OK so you didn’t play into the racist conversation. Great. Instead you just made it more popular to sign onto a racist idea by waiting so fucking long, douche. And you sabotaged your own party and therefore the ideals you claim to care so much about. Not so great douchebag.

Skeptics wonder: Where’s proof bin Laden’s dead? – Political Hotsheet – CBS News

Skeptics wonder: Where's proof bin Laden's dead? – Political Hotsheet – CBS News

“Is it un-patriotic or un-American to ask how, specifically, we know that he’s dead?”

“After 10 years of searching for Al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden, why would President Obama announce that the terror-master has been killed in a firefight with American special forces, announce that we have the body, and then DUMP THE BODY IN THE OCEAN two hours later, before anyone can see the body and verify it?”

“Two sources tell CBS News that one of the women in the compound at the time of the raid was one of bin Laden’s wives, who identified him post-mortem.”

What woman? Who is she? Where is she now?

“(A)Photograph of what was purported to be bin Laden’s corpse circulated online Sunday night – though it was later revealed to be a fake.”

Good job Big Ears. You killed Osama bin Laden.
Yayyyy! Go team USA !!!!

But…

In true Obama fashion any elation brought about by this tremendous victory is completely eclipsed by a goddamn PR nightmare created because yet again the Obama White did their typical sad sack of shit job controlling the message.

I think maybe somebody over there earns money on the side from giving the opposition fodder to crucify him with.

How am I supposed to believe any statement put forth by this White House when I find it hard to believe these bumbling Democratic Party saboteurs are the same crew that commanded the conversation from the get go during the campaign????

Mr. President, if it hasn’t come across in the past I want to point out that I think you and I have a major trust issue. You work for me, fix it!!!!!

To the bottom of the sea: Bin Laden's last day – CBS Evening News – CBS News

The operation’s helicopters — reportedly a HH-60 “Pave Hawk” and a CH-47 — came under fire from security forces firing from the roof of the compound. The Pave Hawk had mechanical failure and made a hard landing after half the platoon “fast roped” into the compound. At least two other helicopters were part of the initial assault. When the Pave Hawk couldn’t get back in the air, it was destroyed to protect the ship’s sensitive avionics and communication equipment.

(Italics mine.) Right. Because no one was shooting at them or the helicopter at this point. Why is it that alll helicopters crash because of mechanical failure and never because they were shot down? What constitutes mechanical failure? Does a SAM to the engine constitute mechanical failure???

Right because if you don’t gobble up this story, holes and inconsistancies and all you must be someone who wants bin Laden alive and supports terrorism.

Beause Obama is so fucking different than Bush.
Hmmmph.
Less and less so every day.

Osama Bin Laden Dead: A Look At The Abbottabad Mansion Where The Al Qaeda Leader Was Killed (VIDEO, PHOTOS)

How can there be no blood on the bed when it stops at the line of bed on the carpet?
WTF?
What am I supposed to be getting out of that weirdness?
You can’t even see half of what it is. Just the windows?
What was the noise at the beginning?
Dogs barking, huh?
Who took it?
Why did show the same footage twice?
Does Fox have this footage?
Are there any palm trees in Wisconsin?
That has got to be the most random and inconclusive footage ever.

Ok, this is progress DOD release a diagram and aerial photo of the place. The before shot.
Now let’s see the after shot.
Not some flame you can distantly see through the tree. Let’s see the place.
Let’s see this burnt out helicopter.
I want to see the dogs, I want to where they came in. I want to see where they found him and I want to see this woman who was used as a human shield.
Supposedly 2 other men and a women also died.
Where are those bodies?
WTF. It kills Big Ears but I’m on your side and I can’t get past that things being left out, people contradicting themselves. Something is off here. You’ve got to produce something that alleviates that feeling for me because your opponents will fillet you and by extension the Democrat Party and Progressive ideals. I’m sick of watching that happen you dolt. Answer these questions before another second goes by you f’ing arrogant jerk.

Tom Hanks' son goes off on Osama-fueled rant – Twitter – Salon.com

um, so?
What is the writers point?
Is the guy racist? Does he use hate speech?
Sounds like the typical red blooded American reaction.
If the writer has a problem with that they should probably never leave San Francisco or that tiny corner of Brooklyn whee they probably feel much safer than out and about with people who opinions and actions don’t perfectly up to their uber PC standards.

BBC News – Obama ‘watched Bin Laden raid in real-time’

BBC News – Obama 'watched Bin Laden raid in real-time'

the most interesting thing about this clip is that I had to go abroad to find it.
Reminds me of 911 when I was getting realtime news updates from Europe via a chatroom, literally hours befoe that same news was released in the US.

Why? Well, US journalism is a joke for one.
Two, hmmmm it wouldn’t be that our government doesn’t trust us. No….
Could it be they are protecting us? Hmmm, from what? Facts?
Could it be that they think we are not capable of handling the truth? Sort of condescending from a bunch of people who supposedly sork for us.

Hmmmm, I wonder why…

Musharraf: Raid ‘violated’ Pakistan on MSN Video

Musharraf: Raid 'violated' Pakistan on MSN Video

Mmmmmm.
I have said many, many times that I think it is hard to tell who the good guys and who the bad guys are in Pakistan. I never know what to think of any news out of that country.
On this on the other I know exactly what I think.

Musharraf thinks we overstepped when we invaded their sovereign soil?

Well, if you claim to be our allie but give aid and comfort to the enemies while playing both sides against the middle you are gonna get burned motherfucker.

I’m thinking you should be thanking us for not retaliating against your military for apparently harboring this S.O.B. so sit down and shut the fuck up. It was a surgical attack and we did not endanger uninvolved innocent Pakistani lives. Unlike the person or people who knew where this man was and did not turn him over to the U.S. military when he first showed up. You’re lucky we’ve didn’t bomb the fuck out of the whole town. We are, afterall a bunch of cowboys with itchy trigger fingers. That person or person could have gotten innocent people, elderly people, women and children killed. Go point the finger at whoever that was you shady son of a bitch.

Middle East politics at play in passport dispute – Nation Wires – MiamiHerald.com

I worked for a PR firm once. We called news stations in Florida pitching a story about informal poll numbers gathered by tracking which Presidential candidate masks were more popular at Party stores. The only supplier of these masks was our client.

When I read an article in the back of my mind there is the questions, who pitched this, what are they trying to say, what are they trying to accomplish? (Are all stories pitched? Well, it’s not like reporters do any actual journaliusm anymore…)

This article is good example of that? Ummmm, pushing for complete Israeli control of Jeruselum much???
