But, when I think back over the course of this lame Obama administration, I can't help but wonder if this isn't all just manufactured ... Chicago-style politics at play. Here are some of the thoughts that make me skeptically say "Hmmmmm ...":
- President Indecisive able to make a decision so quickly?!? Really? What gives? I can't help but reflect back on how long it took Obama to give McCrystal an answer about troop reinforcements. Wasn't it something like four months he kept McC waiting while Obama continued in campaign mode, jetting around the globe meeting with everyone else. I recall McCrystal getting only 20 minutes of Obama's time on Air Force One while the President was on a return flight from Sweden where Obama pressed to get the Olympics brought to the U.S. And, didn't Obama take several weeks before he visited the coasts that were hit with the BP oil spill? Hmmm ... Of course, if Obama truly is anti-military and anti-oil, then his actions are to be expected. He's pro-Obama ... so the killing of OBL would make him look good.
- Interesting how we find Bin Laden after all the rioting and uprising in the Middle East. A way for the Obama administration to defend its position on Libya? A way to make The Community Organizer in Chief look tough? But, could this be construed as another attack of the U.S. on an Arab and/or Arab country/group?
- Again, is this just a move to make spineless Obama look tough, this time to the American public in the wake of the dust-up with Donald Trump? Whatever you might think of Trump's pressing for Obama's birth certificate, it did wind up making Obama look weak -- Obama jumped through Trump's hoop and looked pathetic. (I dying to see if Trump can follow through with the push for Obama's transcripts and papers ... but, that would be "racist.") Is the OBL news a way to deflect all this negativity away from Obama and the upcoming qualifications issue? Having given the kill decree, I wonder if that's why Obama was so over-the-top nasty in his "humor" aimed at Trump a the White House correspondents' dinner over the weekend? He was feeling uber-cocky.
- Is OBL really dead? It would be good Chicago-style politics to make the public think you've vanquished your opponent. Was there some kind of deal made? Maybe OBL was captured / killed a while ago, but this bit of news was kept until a more expedient and beneficial time. What about when Obama's ratings are low, thus jeopardizing his re-election? Snagging OBL would make Obama a shoe-in for re-election.
- I am sad that OBL wasn't captured during Bush's administration ... I hope in some way the Obama gang is gracious enough to give Bush some credit. But, that would involve class. And, on the flip side, what if Obama had been captured back when Bush was president? I'm sure it would not have gotten the glowing, orgasmic media blitzkrieg Obama is enjoying presently. I'm sure it would have gotten some pretty negative blow-back for Bush.
- The GatewayPundit has some nice pieces showing Obama's hipocrisy, such as now praising Navy SEALs for killing Bin Laden after he criticized them for slapping a terrorist, as well as Obama's apparent flipflop on the issue of using intel produced from waterboarding.
- Are you like me, finding the "burial at sea" a bit fishy? (Oh, sorry about that -- no pun intended!) Is there DNA evidence? Are there pictures? Do the pictures prove OBL is dead?
I really do hope the SEALs got Bin Laden ... but, I wouldn't be surprised if another one of those pictures surfaces soon ... the kind showing Bin Laden holding a newspaper published post his supposed death.
