    The White House has given 27 different versions of the bin Laden story.

    Each and every one ending with "Geronimo EKIA." So what's your point?

    Rest in Peace Seve. As a golfer, I always hated him because he was a rival for my favorite, Tom Watson. But that was sports hatred. That's different. He was a great competitor and a class act.

    Rest in Peace Seve.

    SuperLib,

    I was wondering why they didn't use Deltas. I thought this was what they were trained for? Go in, kill/capture, then get out. The emphasis is on a specific target and most of all, speed. That's what I remember from reading Balckhawk Down. The author went into detail about exactly what Deltas were trained for and this mission seems like it was made for their specific training. Any clues?

    None. I'm just assuming that the SEALs are the best and the President wanted the best. Being able to tease the Soldiers that the best Soldiers are actually Sailors has been kind of fun around the office. We've all had a good time with it. I'm now the brunt of many Navy jokes. It's all in good fun.

    Taka313: "The bush doctrine dictates that the U.S. will attack a country before they become an imminent threat"

    IOW - the so-called bush Doctrine is still in effect. (Just check the wording of that sentence above.) But bush left office over two years ago...

    No, now you are scrambling and trying to put words into my mouth. President Obama does not obide by the bush doctrine.

    That you couldn't figure this out yourself is kind of perplexing. But, I'm willing to go down into the weeds to explain it to you, if necessary.

    You haven't predicted anything. You could have said 2 or 1.

    No, in my head, I predicted that by the third post, someone would say something stupid about President Obama.

    To later be able to claim the prediction, I typed "my prediction is three" on my first post.

    You obliged me by posting something stupid about President Obama, thus making my prediction true.

    Congratulations on figuring out the italics function though. Changes nothing, but you know, good for you. Gold star.

    A little clarity here: in having Osama Bin Laden killed in a raid where it was pre-determined the target would be killed on sight Obama signed on, with conviction, to the bush Doctrine.

    The bush doctrine dictates that the U.S. will attack a country before they become an imminent threat.

    President Obama ordered a military strike against a wanted terrorist. He did not order an attack against someone who might or might not be an imminent threat. Nice try at smearing President Obama by trying to tie him to the bush doctrine. Massive fail but nice try.

    You made my prediction by the way. I said it would be 3. And by golly by the third post, we had someone posting nonsense about President Obama.

    This site is getting pretty easy to predict.

    I would think that the bigwigs in Al-Qaida have to be more than a little nervous now. What did OBL have on them at his house? Could it lead the Americans to them?

    The decision to send in the SEALs vice a missile strike was a gamble, but I think it's really paying dividends.

    I work on an Army base and there was a little consternation over the fact it was the Navy SEALs and not Delta Force. I'm enjoying being able to needle the Soldiers a bit.

    My prediction is 3.

    President Obama just said that the decision to take out Bin Laden with the SEALs was the most difficult of his presidency.

    The easy call would have been to send in a tomohawk but then there would have been no certainty and a lot of collateral damage. The president rolled the dice by using the SEALs and the world is reaping the benefits.

    I see the trolls have come to do their bidding. What will you all do when there is no longer a black Democrat in the White House? How will you channel all this hatred?

    I hope the president's presense and the ceremony brought solice to the victims.

    Here at JT, it only brought bile.

    I'm glad the Obama administration decided not to release the photos. As the president said, there's no need to spike the football.

    MC72,

    I think the idea of using SEALs was to avoid or minimize collateral damage because it was an urban area.

    Personally, I wouldn't show the pictures. Not only do I find it morbid and in bad taste, I think it's in the country's best interest for them to remain TOP SECRET for a very long time.

    I think I'll take my cue from Mark Twain:

    My cousin said they are forecasting snow for where she lives in Minnesota on Sunday. The people in Winnipeg have to be going absolutely crazy with cabin fever. WOW!! Canadians, from Manitoba and Ontario, how you all doing? Are the lakes still froze over? What's it like? . Give us the details, please.

    sfjp330,

    Trump and his supporters thinks that when black person accomplishes something great, there must be something wrong.

    According to trump, in his own words, he has always had a wonderful relationship with "the blacks."

    Yeah, to say there isn't some latent racism there is to have ones head in the sand.
