h/t From On High

Oh. No. He. Didn't.

Obama opposed the war on terror.

Obama opposed the surge in Iraq, in fact the entire theater action.

Obama opposed Bush's policies.

Obama declared an END to the War on Terror.

Obama attempted to treat terrorists, unlawful combatants, as common criminals and close Guantanamo Bay.

Obama is STILL prosecuting those possibly involved in enhanced interrogations, actions that resulted the killing of Bin Laden.

Obama ignores the current troops STILL in Iraq, saying HE brought the troops home from Iraq, ignoring that it happened on BUSH'S timetable and plan.

Obama dithered about reinforcing Afghanistan, reluctantly agreeing to a piecemeal "surge" far smaller than requested.

Obama surrendered in Afghanistan, telling the Taliban our exit date, regardless of developments on the ground.

Obama, THANK GOD, realized that HIS plans were idiotic, and have reluctantly continued President Bush's policies.

If we had followed Obama's stated policies, Osama Bin Laden would still be alive today.


And yet, President Obama has the gall to use the killing of OBL as an fund raising tactic.

At a fund raising speech in Austin, Texas, following a hypocritical illegal amnesty speech in El Paso, Peter Nicholas of the LA Times, reports: (emphasis mine)

Early in Obama's appearance, someone shouted out, “Thank you for getting Bin Laden!’’

Obama said that was a “case in point’’ – a reason for voters to let him “finish what we started.’’

....Obama ticked off what he described as his administration’s accomplishments: lifting the ban on gays in the military; bringing troops home from Iraq.

"FINISH WHAT WE STARTED?" Finish what WE started? Who is this "WE" that you speak of, President Obama? YOU don't even believe we're IN a freaking war! Its not "terrorism." Its "man caused disasters." Its not Islamists or Jihadists. Its...well, actually, you don't say...because your people never admit to motivations behind the attacks. And what's this about YOU bringing the troops home from Iraq? The troops that came home, did so on a timetable previously arranged by President Bush. THERE ARE STILL TROOPS IN IRAQ IN HARM'S WAY. Twenty-one soldiers have died IN COMBAT since June of last year. But YOU brought the troops home....ok, then.

Thanks for joining the game, but, remember, YOU refused to be a starter on the team. You rejected and reviled American actions. President Bush was a criminal in your eyes. Giving you credit for getting anything done on the War is like giving credit to Richard Nixon for getting us to the moon, AFTER he campaigned on closing NASA.

Methinks They Doth Protest TOO Much

Former Pakistan President Musharaff took power on 12 October 1999 through a bloodless military coup d'etat on the democratically elected government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. On 18 August 2008, Pervez Musharraf resigned under impeachment pressure from the coalition government.

1999-2008

Let that sink in....

Obama's compound/hideaway/prison was built about 6 years ago.....2005/6 - ish?

Musharaff ran that country as a military dictatorship. He professed to be an American ally in the war. He was given BILLIONS in return for his ........ assistance.

And now, he's protesting our raid to kill the one man that everyone was looking for, who was living 30 miles from the capitol, across the street from a police station, and 1000 feet away from Musharaff's premier MILITARY ACADEMY.....

The former military strongman told the expatriate Pakistan community in Dubai that all "peace loving people" should be happy that bin Laden was killed, but no Pakistani accepted the violation of their sovereignty.

"...no country will accept such a violation by the US, which undermines Pakistan's sovereignty, army and intelligence," Musharraf was quoted as saying in The National daily. "This is not acceptable to any Pakistani individual."

Of course, any knowledge of OBL's whereabouts was a complete mystery to him, even as the Pakistani intelligence services have continued to assist the Taliban.

In an interview with the National Public Radio in the US, Musharraf had on Friday blamed incompetence by his country's intelligence agencies for allowing Al-Qaeda leader to live undetected in Pakistan for years.

"One can draw only two conclusions," Musharraf told NPR. "One is complicity from our intelligence agencies. The second is incompetence and I strongly believe in the latter," Musharraf said.

"I cannot imagine that there was complicity."

No. Of course not. He's shocked! Shocked, I tell you, to see OBL living comfortably in Pakistan. Nice way to keep that money flowing.....

And now we find out that Musharaff made an agreement with President Bush about the possibility of this very raid.... a secret agreement. What was he saying in that interview above? "This is not acceptable to any Pakistani individual."

Yep, unless he stands to make billions of dollars in aid.......

The US and Pakistan struck a secret deal almost a decade ago permitting a US operation against Osama bin Laden on Pakistani soil similar to last week's raid that killed the al-Qaida leader, the Guardian has learned.

The deal was struck between the military leader General Pervez Musharraf and President George Bush after Bin Laden escaped US forces in the mountains of Tora Bora in late 2001, according to serving and retired Pakistani and US officials.

Under its terms, Pakistan would allow US forces to conduct a unilateral raid inside Pakistan in search of Bin Laden, his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and the al-Qaida No3. Afterwards, both sides agreed, Pakistan would vociferously protest the incursion.

"There was an agreement between Bush and Musharraf that if we knew where Osama was, we were going to come and get him," said a former senior US official with knowledge of counterterrorism operations. "The Pakistanis would put up a hue and cry, but they wouldn't stop us."

Its just a coincidence that his agreement has suddenly surfaced after the Pakistan Intelligence Services attempted to reveal the name of the CIA station chief in Islamabad......

WARNING!!! I Know I'm Preaching to the Choir...BUT

In the paper this morning there was a caution about heading off on the Internet searching for information on OBL. The bad guys are setting up sites rapidly and getting them high enough up on the search engine lists to be a problem. These folks are after your money and your information.

Another alert was sent to one of our employee’s, from her husband, who works for the federal government. They are now expecting a plethora of websites to claim they have the photos on the deceased OBL. These folks are also trying to get into your computer and either take control or place malware that would be tough to remove.

Finally you can expect an uptick in Internet issues and problems that will be coming from those that don’t necessarily agree with our values and ideals. These folks want control of your computer to do as much damage to the government as they can.

Please stick to known sources when looking for information on OBL. Stick with the CNN’s, the MSN’s, the New York Times. Avoid any links to any sites you can’t make sense out of.

Make sure your home computers are up to date on malware protection and that your firewalls are working.

After Osama's funeral - Caption time!

"Attention, this is the Captain. Funeral services for Osama Bin Laden on the fantail have concluded.

Conning officer...all stop. Full speed astern. Blow sewage tanks and deploy chum.

Carry on."


If you have a better caption, put it in the comments.

Furthermore, have you noticed anything....there's no "easing" anything into the sea from a carrier. More like a "chuck it" or a "drop", but there's no "easing" from 50 feet up......



Now THIS I can believe.... and its in a traditional Muslim coffin so widely used in Iraq and Afghanistan:

An Affront to their SOVREIGNTY?

The most wanted man on earth, the man responsible directly and indirectly for hundreds of thousands of deaths, is living in your country, apparently while you are president and de facto military dictator; the man is using YOUR country as a base to continue his war against your "ally", AND YOU WHINE ABOUT YOUR SOVEREIGNTY?

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!!!!!????

Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf on Monday accused the U.S. of violating his country’s sovereignty by sending in special forces to kill Osama bin Laden.

He was President of Pakistan and in charge of the military when Bin Laden's compound, situated one thousand yards from their premier military academy and across the street from a freaking police station WAS BUILT!!!!

He added that it would have been “far better if Pakistani Special Services Group had operated and conducted the mission.

Of course it would have. Then he wouldn't have been in the position of having his betrayal exposed. There would have been an innocent family found there and no Bin Laden.

Mr. Musharraf said the “lack of trust is very bad.”

“If two organizations [are] conducting an operation against a common enemy, there has to be trust and confidence in each other,” he said.

The Chutzpah! Osama bin Laden is a freaking guest in his country, 30 miles from the capitol, down the road from an army base, in a house built during the defacto military dictatorship run by Musharraf, and he expects us to trust what he says? Apparently the lack of trust was.... productive. He states that is was probably just collusion by "locals." You know, the locals that didn't know who was living there.

Pakistan is “totally on board” on fighting al Qaeda and Taliban.
“A battle has been won, but the war continues,” Mr. Musharraf said, warning that “al Qaeda is still there.”

In other words....please keep sending us billions of dollars. We're totally your BFF.

Honest.

h/t Washington Times

The bastard is dead. Go SEALS!

I woke to the news that the bastard was dead. It's had time to sink in.
I think a little jubilation is in order.
Navy SEALs killed Obama. Go Navy!




This video shows Marines, but....you get the idea....
How many MORE of them can we make die?



And the men that will do it.



Osama? I hope you rot, screaming, in hell.

BIN LADEN DEAD!!!

THE BASTARD IS DEAD.

KILLED BY AMERICANS.

SHOT THROUGH THE HEAD AS HE HID BEHIND A WOMAN.

HIS BODY HAS BEEN DROPPED INTO THE OCEAN, TO BE EATEN BY FISH.

THE WAR IS NOT OVER.

AND WE WILL NEVER FORGET.


I thought that I would put up a celebratory post. But, I feel no elation, just satisfaction. He's just another target. He's nothing but a symbolic target in the greater war. His death ends nothing. My first thought upon hearing about his death was to think, "NEXT! On to Zawahiri!"

My thanks go out to those brave men and women who made this possible. You removed a blight from the Earth. God bless you and keep you all safe.

Al-Qaeda/Hamas Connection?

The Expansion of Al-Qaeda-Affiliated Jihadi Groups in Gaza: Diplomatic Implications

• In the West there is a growing trend to view Hamas as separate from al-Qaeda in order to open a political dialogue with Hamas, but is this view correct?

  In its annual survey of terrorist threats to Israel during 2009, the Israel Security Agency noted the spread and buildup of "global jihadi" organizations in Gaza. In recent years a number of these jihadi groups have emerged that openly identify with al-Qaeda, such as Jaish al-Islam (the Army of Islam), Jaish al-Umma (the Army of the Nation), and Fatah al-Islam.

  Hamas was founded in 1987 as the Palestinian wing of the Muslim Brotherhood. Osama bin Laden was educated in Saudi Arabia by Muhammad Qutb of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and Abdullah Azzam of the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood. Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, the architect of the 9/11 attacks, came out of the Kuwaiti Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood still defines its goal as "a world Islamic state."

  In February 2004, the U.S. designated Sheikh Abd al-Majid Zindani, president of Iman University in Yemen, as a "loyalist to Osama bin Laden." On March 20,
  2006, Zindani, who recruited volunteers for al-Qaeda, sponsored a major fundraising event for Hamas in Yemen. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian who tried to blow up Northwest Flight 253 to Detroit, went to hear lectures on radical Islam at Iman University.

  The al-Qaeda affiliate Jaysh al-Islam joined Hamas in the 2006 kidnapping of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. This proves that Hamas and al-Qaeda affiliates have been involved in joint operations. In 2007, the Egyptian press reported that one of the heads of al-Qaeda in Egypt had escaped and sought sanctuary in Gaza. In May 2009, Egypt charged that another al-Qaeda-linked group was using Gaza for training terrorists for attacks in Egypt.

Operational Links between Hamas and Al-Qaeda

Practically, there have been noticeable operational links between Hamas and al-Qaeda. When two British Muslims of Pakistani descent came to Israel under orders from al-Qaeda and attacked "Mike's Place," a Tel Aviv bar, on April 30, 2003, they had previously filmed themselves wearing Hamas uniforms. After the 2005 Gaza disengagement, reports of Hamas-al-Qaeda coordination multiplied, particularly with the Hamas victory in the 2006 Palestinian parliamentary elections. On March 20, 2006, Sheikh Abd al-Majid Zindani, who recruited volunteers for al-Qaeda, sponsored a major fundraising event for Hamas in Yemen. In February 2004, the U.S. Department of the Treasury had designated Zindani as a "loyalist to Osama bin Laden." He is president of Iman University, the notorious terrorist breeding ground on the outskirts of Yemen's capital, San'a, where Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian who tried to blow up Northwest Flight 253 to Detroit, went to hear lectures on radical Islam.

A whole assortment of al-Qaeda affiliate organizations has emerged in Gaza since 2005, the most prominent of which is Jaysh al-Islam, which joined Hamas in the 2006 kidnapping of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. This proves that Hamas and al-Qaeda affiliates have been involved in joint operations. In 2007, the Egyptian press reported that one of the heads of al-Qaeda in Egypt had escaped and sought sanctuary in Gaza.10 In May 2009, Egypt charged that another al-Qaeda-linked group was using Gaza for training terrorists for attacks in Egypt. This group included Belgian, British and French Muslims.11 It is no wonder that Egypt has become more determined than ever before to block the smuggling tunnels between Egyptian Sinai and Gaza; not only has Israeli security been undermined by the tunnels but also the security of Egypt as well.

Osama in trouble with Al Qaeda founder

Osama bin Laden and his second in command, Zawahiri, have dishonored Islam. So says the founder of Al Qaeda, Dr. Fadl.


Sayyid Imam al-Sharif, who goes by the nom de guerre Dr Fadl, helped bin Laden create al-Qaeda and then led an Islamist insurgency in Egypt in the 1990s...

Today, however, he believes the murder of innocent people is both contrary to Islam and a strategic error. "Every drop of blood that was shed or is being shed in Afghanistan and Iraq is the responsibility of bin Laden and Zawahiri and their followers," writes Dr Fadl.

The terrorist attacks on September 11 were both immoral and counterproductive, he writes. "Ramming America has become the shortest road to fame and leadership among the Arabs and Muslims. But what good is it if you destroy one of your enemy's buildings, and he destroys one of your countries? What good is it if you kill one of his people, and he kills a thousand of yours?" asks Dr Fadl. "That, in short, is my evaluation of 9/11."

He is equally unsparing about Muslims who move to the West and then take up terrorism. "If they gave you permission to enter their homes and live with them, and if they gave you security for yourself and your money, and if they gave you the opportunity to work or study, or they granted you political asylum," writes Dr Fadl, then it is "not honourable" to "betray them, through killing and destruction".

In particular, Dr Fadl focuses his attack on Zawahiri, a key figure in al-Qaeda's core leadership and a fellow Egyptian whom he has known for 40 years. Zawahiri is a "liar" who was paid by Sudan's intelligence service to organise terrorist attacks in Egypt in the 1990s, he writes.

I have an interesting observation. Where is Osama bin Laden's defense or renunciation....Its almost, as if, Zawahiri was running everything.....

One point I've never understood. In Islamic custom, when one accepts a guest into one's home, you are duty bound to defend said guest. The guest, too, has responsibilities, including NOT HARMING YOUR HOST! Would it not be a good idea to emphasize this aspect to incoming muslim immigrants or visitors......

If our press was competant, this would be headlining every report....
