About those OBL photos - if Obama is the duplicitous, scheming, self serving, Alinsky loving uber politician I think he is then don't be surprised if, in the run up to November 2012, a 'mysterious, inexplicable' leak lets them loose in the world. Although, an interesting poll just released seems to suggest that even though Obama's approval rating has gotten a bit of a boost from the summary execution of Big Bin, most of that boost appears to come from republicans - they ain't voting for Obama - pleased as punch that Mr Martyr sleeps with the fishes, sure, but don't expect them to still be giddy come 2012 - so maybe I'm making too much of the way this political udder is so furiously being milked.
Yet the White House today released more videos of Usama in his lair supposedly hard at work running his evil empire - this is just silly - if the guy was still such a vital cog in the AQ machine, it was pretty god damn stupid to kill him, no? And isn't it good practice to not let your enemies know what you know about them? Why are they crowing about the massive haul of intel this raid has pulled in? Isn't the smart move here to keep your mouth shut in hopes of luring your enemies into a trap? [unless of course your real objective here is to simply make sure it's Obama in '12]. Aside from the operation itself, so much about this affair seems just a wee bit clumsy, contrived, crassly manipulative and strategically inept.
Ah - just announced: Obama will be giving a 'big' speech on Mideast soon - there's your strategy - like I said, inept - he signs off on some Kansas farm boy putting a bullet through Osama's head and now he's gotta go all sermon on the mount again - what a ponderous individual - he strings together a few lofty sounding sentences that set the tweeded hermaphrodites in the Harvard faculty lounge to giggling with delight and it's as if he actually thinks it means something, that something significant has been accomplished - it so bespeaks [bespeaks? really?] of a hungry ego yearning for affirmation from dutiful supplicants - I dunno - I guess if you're a blackish guy trolling for confirmation through the whited sepulcher of American left wing academia, constantly congratulated, lauded and ultimately granted proto-deification for being so 'charming' and 'eloquent' and 'thoughtful' - I guess maybe Obama is what you turn into - I dunno.
