So bin Laden is dead. And apparently the death of Osama bin Laden, the leader of the al-Qaeda terror organization, occurred on May 2, 2011, somewhere around 01:00 Pakistan Standard Time. In making the announcement, Barry "Almighty," being one who is never the least bit shy about taking credit for just about anything, even things he had very little to with, is taking credit for this as well. If you happened to listen to our narcissistic president, last night, you would have heard how it was all due to his stellar leadership. I heard his little speech last night, and I had to fight to keep from losing my dinner because it was nothing more than the standard fare of me, me ,me followed almost immediately by I, I, I. Oh look at me, see what I was able to do that that moron Bush couldn't get done. Gee, aren't I so great? "Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body," Barry "the Magnificent" said late Sunday evening. Something in my gut tells me this boob didn't know anything about it until it was all over with out of fear that he'd have to get advice from his legal team first allowing bin Laden to get away yet again. But hey, I could be wrong.
But I gotta tell you that I think there's been way too much back slapping of Barry going on here over this whole thing. To the point where I'm just about ready to puke! If I'm understanding it all correctly, the success of this "Overseas Contingency Operation" apparently is to be attributed to what we're supposed to interpret as being the great tactical skills and military prowess of our Commander-in-Chief. It is because of his abilities that America's public enemy number one is now sleeping with the fishes. It was "He" and "He" alone who is responsible for coming up with the plan which called for sending of the four U. S. helicopters that swooped in during the very early hours on Monday morning, carrying the American soldiers who were successful in their mission to kill bin Laden in what has been described as a fiery American raid on bin Laden's fortress-like compound in a Pakistani town that also happens to be home for three Pakistani army regiments. Bin Laden was living at this palatial fortress in the town of Abbottabad that a U.S. official described as being "custom built to hide someone of significance." Abbottabad is around 60 miles from the capital Islamabad, far from the remote mountain caves along the Pakistan-Afghanistan tribal border where most intelligence assessments had put bin Laden in recent years. All that should matter now is the fact that this scum is now dead. And we owe much more to those who actually took part in making it happen than we'll ever owe to Barry the political opportunist.
Barry "the Magnificent" did say that Pakistan had provided some useful information that lead up to the raid, but as usual Barry did not take the time to actually thank the country for its participation during his self-congratulatory statement on bin Laden's recent American induced demise. Well of course not, because the fact that this entire scenario was successful is due entirely Barry and his skills as the consummate military strategist. Now I feel it very safe to say that you can bet your bottom dollar on the fact that had this little exercise been nothing more than the colossal failure as was Jimmy "the Moron" Carter's attempt to rescue the hostages from Iran way back when, then we either would never have even heard about it for fear of creating the same perception of Barry that existed for Carter or, if we did hear about it, Barry would have most certainly blamed Pakistan as being the primary cause for that failure taking place. Supposedly, Pakistan's intelligence agency and the CIA have cooperated in joint raids before against al-Qaida suspects in Pakistan on several occasions since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in exchange for about $1.6 Billion we hand them annually. But U.S. and Pakistani officials indicated that this mission was too important to let anyone know more than a few minutes in advance. Which leads me to believe that I doubt Barry knew about what was being planned out of fear that he might, on purpose or otherwise, provide a little warning.
It was not known how long bin Laden had been in Abbottabad, which is less than half a days drive from the border region with Afghanistan. But I guess locals did say that a convoy of large Landcruisers and other expensive cars had been seen driving into the compound, which is in a regular middle-class neighborhood of dirt covered, litter-strewn roads and small shops. Salman Riaz, a film actor, said that five months ago he and a crew tried to do some filming next to the house, but were told to stop by two men who came out. "They told me that this is haram (forbidden in Islam)," he said. Also, Abbottabad resident Mohammad Haroon Rasheed said the raid happened about 1:15 a.m. local time. "I heard a thundering sound, followed by heavy firing. Then firing suddenly stopped. Then more thundering, then a big blast," he said. "In the morning when we went out to see what happened, some helicopter wreckage was lying in an open field." Qasim Khan, 18, who lives in a house just across the compound, said he saw two Pakistani men going in and coming out of the house often in the past several years. One of them was a relatively fat man with a beard, he said. "I never saw anybody else with the two men but, some kids sometime would accompany them. I never saw any foreigner." So in what sounds like the most excitement this little burg has had in quite some time, the world's leading terror mastermind is now officially, toast.
So bin Laden is now dead and it is all because of our "Fearless Leader" who is only too happy to take all of the credit for it. I think it safe to say were it George W. Bush who had been president at this time, instead of taking any amount of credit himself, he would be bending over backwards to thank all of those who had placed their lives in jeopardy in order to finally nail this terrorist thug. But not Barry, oh no! The only reason that we can now say that bin Laden is dead is because we have Barry as our Commander-in-Chief. Look, even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and again. And for this guy to literally smother himself with so much self-adulation is really pretty pathetic.
