Obama Was Israiled: Killing bin Laden Was Not Foreign Policy Experience For
2011-05-22 17:13:00 -By Warner Todd Huston On Friday Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu schooled President Obama -- who is clearly out of his depth -- on Middle East diplomacy. This would not have been necessary if Obama had not tried to turn decades of American foreign policy on its ear, if he had not turned against our only real Mid East fried, and if he hadn't made to come to the comfort of radical Islamists without conscience who only want to kill Jews and Americans. Obama also proved that just killing bin Laden does not equal foreign policy expertise. Coming off his high after presiding over the end of America's number one enemy, Obama thought he saw an opening to help bin...
Al-Qaeda Leadership Outed By Bin Laden Data Treasure Trove? Pakistan Taliba
2011-05-13 14:01:00 Al-Qaeda Leadership Outed By Bin Laden Data Treasure Trove? Pakistan Taliban Unleash Retaliatory Suicide Attacks! One cannot underestimate the power of reliable intelligence when combating global terrorists. The fact that Osama bin Laden may have unwittingly outed the Al Qaeda leadership, by maintaining a concise daily journal as well as leaving a treasure trove of data unprotected on thumb drives lying around, must have some high ranking terrorists wondering exactly when the hammer will fall on them.

Osama Bin Laden Unarmed When Shot? So Were Most Of His Victims!
2011-05-05 21:24:00 Osama Bin Laden Unarmed When Shot? So Were Most Of His Victims! When news first surfaced that Osama bin Laden had been "double-tapped" while unarmed I was a bit apprehensive if that was the correct course of action to take or not. However, military operations like the one carried out in Abbottabad, Pakistan, which claimed the life of Osama bin Laden, come with all sorts of risks.

I am not celebrating the death of Osama Bin Laden. I'm not.
2011-05-05 08:00:00 I am not celebrating the death of Osama Bin Laden. Yes, I am happy that he's dead, but I will not celebrate the death of another human being, even a vicious, murdering psychopath. In fact, "happy" isn't really the right word. I'm relieved he's dead. No, not relieved, as if he were a beloved uncle who has gone to a better place after a long illness. I'm more like? well, not gratified, exactly. I can't be gratified at the death of a fellow human being. Not even a butchering madman who stretches the definition of humanity. I'm not sure what the right word is for what I'm feeling. Not comforted, surely. There's cold comfort in the violent death of a fellow human being, even a complete fucking asstard like Osama Bin Laden. Mollified? No. Appeased? No, that's no good either. I guess what I'm saying is that while I am pleased that justice has been done, the fact is that trading death for death can never? Shit. Pleased? What the hell is that? I'm pleased that justice has been...

Nine goofiest conspiracy theories about Osama bin Laden's alleged deat
2011-05-04 23:12:00 Well, that caps it: President Barack Obama's refusal to release the pictures of the dead Osama bin Laden proves that....well, it's hard to summarize the nutty conspiracy theories that started taking hold the second that it was disclosed that his body was dumped into the sea. Here are nine of my favorite moronic theories:...
Obama Uses Football Metaphor in Bin Laden Death Photo Policy
2011-05-04 22:50:00 President of the United States Barack Obama has decided not to release photographs of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden's body, a senior administration official told NBC News on Wednesday.

Throwing Pics: #3 - "Bin Laden Dead, Thibs Coach of the Year"
2011-05-04 19:38:00 As we all know, Osama bin Laden took the news headlines starting Sunday night. Bin Laden's sudden and necessary career retirement was probably bigger news than Michael Jordan's retirement (the first one, that is).Separately, as a Chicagoan and a Bulls fan, I was pleasantly surprised to see the parallel news story above from Times Square. Congrats to Team America and a belated congrats to the Bulls' Tom Thibodeau, NBA Coach of the Year.Andy Frye has a photographic sports mind and documents it here, and throughout the day on Twitter via @MySportsComplex. A belated congrats to him on finally spelling Thibodeau's name right.pic courtesy of The Guardian at www.theguardian,co.uk...
Is bin Laden's death a time for cheering, reflection or both?
2011-05-04 18:11:00 Maybe Clarence Darrow said it best when he said: "I have never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure." And that is not even strong enough for my feelings about bin Laden, because, even if it's not very Christian of me, I wanted to see him die. That said, I found people hanging on light posts celebrating the death of bin Laden troubling.
Refelction on the Death of Osama Bin Laden
2011-05-03 22:51:00 Osama Bin Laden was killed Sunday May 1, 2011 in Pakistan, during an attack initiated by the US Navy SEALs. Both of my Brothers joined the United States Marines Corps as well as many close friends. In fact I have a friend who was killed fighting against terrorist, and fighting for our freedom. So I could not get the strength to write about Osama's demise just yet. I like, every American citizen needed time to think and reflect. On September 11, 2001 I was in the fifth grade and our class watched in horror as we curled under desks. For me having lost my little sister two years prior to the attacks, death was not strange to me, but the...

The killing of Osama bin Laden
2011-05-03 15:59:00 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The killing of Osama bin Ladenby R. Lee Wrights BURNET, Texas (May 3) – It will not be a popular thing to say, but the truth is the truth. I am deeply saddened by the death of Osama bin Laden. His demise is not cause for rejoicing, in my opinion. That is why I am perhaps even more troubled by the spectacle of Americans celebrating and dancing in the street to the chant of "U.S.A, U.S.A," whipped up into a patriotic frenzy and oblivious to the reality that this was an illegal and immoral act which offends the very values which makes us who we are. I must admit, this is one of the most troubling things I have experienced in my lifetime. The patriot in me wants to breathe a sigh of relief that the war is over and we can go back to life before Bin Laden. But reality ruins the moment as I realize what has happened, and know life will never be the same again. This military action ordered by the President of the United States not only violated every fundamental be...
The Osama Bin Laden Gene

The wisdom the other children chose was the same people near suicide bombers choose: jump back and stay low. When Osara flipped they'd dash like Iraqis from al-Qaeda.

2011-05-03 03:49:00 Osama Bin Laden is dead. He can never hurt any of us again, and his life will live in the utter dark recesses of infamy, along with Hitler and other soulless dictators. America can rejoice in the fact that, while the war won't cease and terrorism won't die away because the figurehead and cornerstone has been killed, we now have been avenged by killing this man. The blood on our hands is righteous and honored.
Was it Really bin Laden? A Picture Paints 1000 Words
2011-05-03 00:52:00 Was it really that rascal hiding out in the mansion of suburban Islamabad? Could he really have packed all of his worldly goods from the cave and headed to the newly-built-compound FIVE years ago? Apparently yes. Take a look at this picture~take a look at the expressions on the faces of the President's closest advisors as they watch from the situation room the capture and subsequent killing of Pakistan's resident escape artist in real time.

Hurt Locker Director Eyes Bin Laden Movie
2011-05-02 20:09:00 Today we awoke to the realization that the most wanted terrorist in the world had been killed by an elite group of American soldiers. Rather than imagine what the raid may have looked like, movie fans may get a full motion glimpse of the action courtesy of Hurt Locker director Kathryn Bigelow. We love our war films. They pay homage to the brave men and women in uniform, and help to stir up a healthy sense of nationalism ? and one project which has been in the works for quite some time will most likely get a little bump. The movie, which is described as being about ?the hunt for Osama Bin Laden,? has been in the planning stages for a while. With a working title of ?Kill Bin Laden,? and some heavy promotion, this thing could take off. Deadline reports that they?ve already gotten their hands on the funding, and are just about ready to start casting. Rumor has it that Joel Edgerton could land the lead role. The original concept was to bring to life a mission that was carried out several...

Osama Bin Laden is Dead, Plant a 'Peace' Rose in Your Garden
2011-05-02 18:41:00 On Sunday night President Obama addressed the country to inform us that Osama Bin Laden had been killed. Coincidentally, 66 years to the date the world learned that Hitler had committed suicide. While many are celebrating this historic occasion my- thoughts are turning to the victims of 9/11, the soldiers and innocent civilians that have died in Iraq and Afghanistan. While the word "peace" can only be found once in the remarks by President Obama on Osama Bin Laden, that's what I'm thinking of today. Rosa 'Peace' is said to be the most widely planted rose in the world. It was developed by French horticulturist -;Francois Meilland, and was set to be introduced prior to World War II where it was to be named in honor...
Osama Bin Laden brought to justice..will it unify U.S.?
2011-05-02 18:06:00 Every once in a while there are events where people forget their individual differences and bond together for the sake of the larger group. The tragic events of 9/11 was one such time. It inspired unity in a time when the country was polarized by political ideology. There were heroic actions performed by everyday people. The whole country came together to do what they could for those who had suffered tragic loss. Sadly, that unity was short-lived. It wasn't long before politicians were seeking to capitalize on the tragedy and the swirl of emotion that ensued. Some people were angry, some were sad, and most were confused by the unimaginable tragedy they had just witnessed. Most of all, Americans wanted...
Osama Bin Laden is gone: 9/11 Thoughts from a New Yorker in Chicago
2011-05-02 17:58:00 As I'm sure you've heard by now, Osama Bin Laden is dead. To many, the events of 5/1/11 stir up a lot of memories and feelings of relief, joy, anger or sadness. I was living in Brooklyn at the time of the 9/11 attacks and the post that follows is a recount of my 9/11 experience which I wrote 5 years ago that I thought would be an interesting read today. Before I get to that I'd like to share some of the best insight I've seen on yesterday's events from Facebook: "I am not certain human beings will know world peace until we can equate justice with reconciliation instead of retaliation." -Jenn Kloc "So it took 10 years for...

Osama bin Laden Killed Near the Pakistan Border: Now What?
2011-05-02 17:26:00 The news of the killing of Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the 9/11 attack, shook the World last night! It was if we had all but given up on finding him and then in a minute he was gunned down by U.S. forces and declared dead! It was a victory for Americans and their families who lost their lives in 9/11, yet what about the followers of bin Laden? It has been nearly a (10)-year hunt for Osama bin Laden with leads that always seemed to go, nowhere. Bin Laden made it through illness and distress, only to flee into hiding when the U.S. was close to finding him. He was like a ghost, vanishing before he...

Osama Bin Laden and other FBI Most Wanted
2011-05-02 17:22:00 The capture of the FBI (and the world's) most wanted fugitive got me wondering about J.Edgar Hoover's iconic list. It doesn't date back to the Al Capone days, but actually got its start in early 1949. According the FBI, a United Press reporter wrote an article for the Washington Daily News about the Bureau's "Most Wanted Fugitives." The Feds gave them a list of ten criminals it considered most dangerous. It was so popular that Hoover created the "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" in March of the following year. There used to be those ubiquitous posters in your local post office. Now of course, everything is online. The official website is fbi.govBelow are some interesting anecdotes and photos of some past...
Bin Laden Dead - Long Live the US
2011-05-02 14:14:00 I first learned about this when I was looking at Facebook. At first I wondered out loud, "Is it true?" I turned to various news channels such as Fox News and CNN and found out that the answer is "Yes, Osama Bin Laden is dead." Killed in a million dollar mansion in a town located near Islamabad in Pakistan by US forces. Ding Dong, the evil man is dead! The moment they heard about this, thousands of American piled into the streets to celebrate the madman's demise with cheering, singing the National Anthem, chanting "USA", waving the American Flag, and shedding tears of joy at Ground Zero knowing this brought closure to the long, hard battle to find Bin Laden who was responsible for the September 11 attacks and destroy him to avenge the deaths of thousands killed on that fateful day. Yes! Obama nailed Osama! Long Live the US! And God Bless America and all those who took part in seeing the evil man's demise. by Crazyharp81602

Just a few words: One of the Historic days of our lifetime: the death of Osama Bin Laden. Finally, there is some Vindication for New Yorkers and the other victims, if only in spirit. Bin Laden was shot in the head during a firefight at a mansion in a highly populated in Pakistani area where no one uniformed would ever have looked. He was pretty much "hiding in plain sight" and President Obama kept plans for the assault from the Pakistanis. No one knows how many knew of his secret location. NO internet at this home and garbage was burned, not thrown out: two...
Impact Of Osama Bin Laden Death On Obama's Reelection Chances
2011-05-02 07:53:00 This is another one of those posts that has nothing to do with real estate but I found this pretty interesting. Perhaps you are wondering what the killing of Osama Bin Laden has just done for Obama's chances of getting re-elected in 2012. Well here's the answer: it's worth a 10 percentage point increase in the odds - at least as of this moment. How do I know this? Well, I look to Intrade for answers to questions like this. Intrade is a prediction market - sort of like an odds market or parimutuel online betting parlor. In the course of the last couple of hours the Obama reelection contract went from a 60% chance of him getting re-elected...
