Follow The President's Announcement To The Nation That Osama Bin Laden Is Dead

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Update: It is now confirmed that Osama Bin Laden was killed in an air strike last week, and the US has the body. Expect the media to be drowned with stories of imminent terrorist "retaliation" which will push a flight to USD "safety" and purportedly drop commodities.

Lots of wild rumors about Obama's imminent late Sunday announcement to the nation, chief among which is that Bin Laden has been killed. The address can be followed live here.

Oh come on, 911, OBL, and the entire "War Against Terror" has been nothing but a gigantic propaganda ploy for over a decade now.  Their gooses were cooked in 2001 with Enron, Worldcom, and the dot-com crash.  Everything that has happened has been a play to ward off an economic collapse.

Gas should have been at $4.50 9 years ago when Bush should have raised taxes on it for national security to finish this then and fight the war.  Instead he tells people to go to Disney land.  He attacks Iraq because he felt that Sadam continuing in power negatively affected he daddy’s legacy.  Great shared sacrifice and way to fight and fund a war.  He near quadrupled the national debt.

It's the fact that you wrote it you sniveling little sycophant.

What does the completely transparent madness that was Emperor George the Lesser have to do with the current Emperor's train wreck? Absolutely fucking nothing, it's simply a continuum of suck.

Setting aside from the pathetic, sophmoric invocation attributing all fiscal responsibility to the Emperor, this is completley false; "He near quadrupled the national debt."

So by all means felate Barry the Half Black Messiah but you needn't burden me with the money shot here on this site.

No about gas being $4.50.  This is a national security issue.  It should have been taxed as our dependence is a national security issue.   I am pissed about that and the debt used to fund the war.  After the attack he could have done anything, a call for shared sacrifice etc.. and it would have gone through.   Then that idiot pulls troops to move them to Iraq which we never should have gone after.   I don’t like Obama but dude you have problems if you take every criticism of anyone else as pro Obama. 

Great night.  I can’t help think it would have come years sooner without Iraq.

Damn some of you seriously do not understand basic military tactics.

Here is why it took a week to announce this.

We get the cat a week ago in a predator strike.

The Rangers who were the FAC for the predator strike then have to hump across a shitty mountain region, taking time not to get shot to hell on the way and retrive the body.  Then those same Rangers have to hump back out to the nearest exfil site WITH A BODY.  That takes time.

Then you have to make it from the Xfil to the base, the base to the airfield then fly the half a bazillion miles back to the USofA from Asscrackistan.  Its a long fucking flight.  Then you have to pay a bunch of CIA guys to test the body to make sure it is a DNA match.  Then you have to get the info through the DOD and make sure we don't let go any classified info, and THEN you can announce it to the American populace at large.

Damn, I love this place, and usually the comments are great, but tonight guys seriously lay off the conspiracy shit and THINK. 

 

Oh, and since you will anyway, junk on bitchez.

Osamas been long dead now? What a joke. Everyone that was in the cave with Ali Baba an his forty thieving dwarfs that out smarted Norads 400 million dollar defence system with box cutters from miles away knows he was dying that summer before 9/11 and the French had intelligence that the al-CIA-duh was seeing him in those months before the planed murders on 9/11 and had been seen to deliver a kidney-dialysis machine because he was dying of kidney failure even then. They used the dead guy as a fall guy and now...ten years later they haul him out?

And who was that poor lady that was shot because she revealed he was already dead because they still needed him to blame game on?

Nawww...Aprils fool on may day...just a trick we thot bush would have used to get his arse out of a tight impeachment jam. It was always the wild card to play in case of need for a weapon of mass distraction.

Either we are going to do War as it should be done (complete and total annihilation and victory) or keep our kids at home and pay for the oil and let them have the sand.

CBS is reporting that they have the body and he has a bullet through his head.

CBS is also reporting that they will "dispose" of the body so there is no grave site to visit.

Hahaha, you really believe that? No, NOW the reason for not abandoning all the measures justified by 9/11, will simply be justified by retaliation risk. There is now way in hell they will step back on what they have "achieved", without them being scared of something INSIDE of the US of A.

Spelling and homonym trouble but an energetic rant.  The real problem is the misidentification of disinterest in a piece of news for dislike, to the extent that it shows a whole template of preconception.  The first two sentences were fine.

Fuck the government and the media. You want news that's pertinent? I put my toddler to bed, settled what I'm looking for at the next gun show, I had a good dinner, it's raining, I won't do business with Wall St, I'll never vote for a Democrat or Republican ever again with the exception of Paul, I would be pleased as punch if DC spontaneously burnt down with every politician and lobbyist present, the banks can go f themselves I don't pay them anymore, and the wife willing I might get laid tonight.

Did the media say something? You say a politician said something? The military industrial complex managed to kill someone? Whatever. I ain't listening anymore.

CNN reporting Obama hit in Pakistan. So, the State official who shot those folks and ran down another may have been justified? Also curious that Pakistan wants the US out and the drones as well. Bin Laden in "mansion" outside Islamabad and ISI didn't know this? Panetta to Defense and Petraeus to Intel head. Overt to covert war. Panetta was head of OMB and his task is to wind down the overt war. All fits together

Well, It's good news anyway.  Is that what hammered silver lol?  Was Osama cornering the silver market from a cave in Pakistan?  Was he secretly head of the FED and in charge of the QE?  I'm glad he's dead, but...  I was, I dunno if worried is the word cause my portfolio doing as well as it was is actually just as worrying, but if they think Osama dying is going to save the macroeconomic situation....  BTFD I guess.

President Obama:

"The real rate of unemployment is near 20%, I am a puppet of Wall Street, the real rate of inflation is near 8.8%, gasoline will soon be $5 a gallon, 2 million homes will be foreclosed on this year and potentially more than 2 million next year, we are running record deficits and the Federal Reserve is allowing us to print money by monetizing our massive deficit, there are nearly 50 million Americans on SNAP (food stamp) cards, the equity markets are in a government-supported (for now) bubble that is worse than what we experienced in the dot.com days, even your young children get groped by TSA at the airport, you have few 'rights' under the Constitution today, and we are letting Bernanke destroy the U.S. dollar...but hey, man, Osama Bin Laden is dead. Thank you, and may God Bless America."

The next Bin Laden tape will be to the tune of "...if you are watching this tape, then the US will be claiming to have captured or killed me. I assure all of my followers that I am most certainly still alive and this is just more US propaganda to shift the infidels' focus away from the US President's Birth Certificate issue...."

And within days of producing Obama’s birth certificate they produce Osama’s death certificate.

How’s that for some mind-fucking book ends to keep the sheeple spinning.

No need to produce the body because just like under Bush 43...Habeus corpus is still dead under Bush 44
