Live Feed From Abbottabad Assault Was Cut Off For 25 Minutes
The White House was blind during that whole time:
Leon Panetta, director of the CIA, revealed there was a 25 minute blackout during which the live feed from cameras mounted on the helmets of the US special forces was cut off.
Full story here.
The President Lied to the World on Sunday Night
“After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.”
There was no firefight. There were no weapons in the compound. The only fire came from US Navy Seals, ordered (unlawfully) to execute "Osama."
Waterboarding, no.
Execution of an unarmed combatant, yes.
Impeachable offenses, yes.
The Petty Tyrant Stiffs The Free Republic of Texas, Twice
No space shuttle, no fire disaster aid.

"A tyrant also should show no favour to a man of worth or a freeman; for he should think, that no one deserved to be thought these but himself; for he who supports his dignity, and is a friend to freedom, encroaches upon the superiority and the despotism of the tyrant: such men, therefore, they naturally hate, as destructive to their government."
-- Aristotle, Politics

The UK Daily Mail Totally Falls For Obama's Lies
Story here:
My favorite whopper is point 5: Commandos dodge bullets as Osama fires AK47 from bedroom window.
That's rich.
White House Admits "bin Laden" was Unarmed
This was a lawless, assassination, mission, pure and simple, committed by a tyrant and the agents of a tyrant:
MR. CARNEY: And I want to make clear that is, again, information that is fresh, and we will continue to gather and provide to you details as we get them and we’re able to release them.
The resistance was throughout. As I said, when the assaulter entered the room where Osama bin Laden was, he was rushed by one individual in the room, and the resistance was consistent from the moment they landed until the end of the operation.
Yes.
Q Jay, just to follow up, how did Obama -- excuse me, Osama bin Laden resist if he didn’t -- if he didn’t have his hand on a gun, how was he resisting?
MR. CARNEY: Yes, the information I have to you -- first of all, I think resistance does not require a firearm. But the information I gave you is what I can tell you about it. I’m sure more details will be provided as they come available and we are able to release them.
Q Did he have any weapon?
MR. CARNEY: He was not armed, is what I understand to be true.
Bin Laden and Company Had No Weapons
So says Al Arabiyah News here:
Similarly, according to information Pakistani officials collected from detained persons, Osama was neither armed nor did inmates at the compound fire at the US choppers or commandos.
“Not a single bullet was fired from the compound at the US forces and their choppers. Their chopper developed some technical fault and crashed and the wreckage was left on the spot,” a well-informed official explained.
Koran Burning Endangers Soldiers, But Assassinating bin Laden Won't?
Let's see, how many US officials pressured Rev. Jones about the meaningless, symbolic insult?
Jones had been under pressure from the U.S. government to cancel the protest. President Barack Obama, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Gen. David Petraeus and others had warned that the protest could bring attacks against U.S. troops in Afghanistan and elsewhere.
Earlier Thursday, Obama implored Jones to call off his Quran-burning "stunt," telling ABC's "Good Morning America" in an interview aired Thursday that he hopes Jones listens to "those better angels."
"And as a very practical matter, I just want him to understand that this stunt that he is talking about pulling could greatly endanger our young men and women who are in uniform," Obama said.
Oh, but that was then. This is now.
"Waterboarding is Evil, But Shooting an Unarmed Man in the Head is OK"
Heard on "Don Wade and Roma" this morning.

The Purpose of War in a Tyranny
"A tyrant also should endeavour to engage his subjects in a war, that they may have employment and continually depend upon their general."
-- Aristotle, Politics
Famous Last Words: I Don't Believe That Story About . . .
From The Outlaw Josey Wales:
FLETCHER: I don't believe that story about Josey Wales.
TEN SPOT: You don't?
FLETCHER: No sir, I don't. I don't believe no five pistoleros could do in Josey Wales.
ROSE: Maybe it was six. Could have even been ten.
FLETCHER: I think he's still alive.
TEN SPOT: Alive? No sir.
FLETCHER: I think I'll go down to Mexico to try to find him.
JOSEY: And then?
FLETCHER: He's got the first move. I owe him that. I think I'll try to tell him the war is over.
FLETCHER: What do you say, Mr. Wilson?
JOSEY: I reckon so. I guess we all died a little in that damn war.
