  1. big woop no one cares no one will DO anything ..that is how i have been feeling latley .
    Everyone talks about doing thing’s but no one does ANYTHING!!
    This will flow like water under the bridge nothing to see here!!!

  2. Delay probably had little to do with the decision to kil bin laden. It’s just that it took ‘bama and company ten months to work out the wording of the disclaimer in the event the operation went wrong.

  3. Maybe Barry was saving it for a rainy day when he needed a boost in the polls? That’s how he seems to operate, things are done when he needs to look good on TV, not before.

  4. Unfortunately this revelation will not get any traction. The only thing that will count come November will be that HBO got OBL.
    Clinton missed or neglected to take his chance and it did not hurt him a lot.

  5. Barry just wanted to be sure. A cautious man,who’d never done anything where HE might have to take responsibility for a foul-up,Barry didn’t want the blood of innocents on his hands.
    Unless, of course, he could blame it on someone else. Jamie MacMaster hits the nail on the head!

  6. Procrastination?
    Barry wasn’t procrastinating, he was on luxury vacation #15 back then an couldnt make it for the WH war room photo ops until the star studded Motown bash later in the year.
    Give him a break he’s also working with his ghost writter on his 5000 page autobiography and another Noble Peace Prize, in between golf games and the basketball playoffs. Sheesh.

  7. He was trying to figure another way to subvert the Constitution in the course of taking out OBL.

  9. Since we’re talking about an assassination of a mortal enemy, I don’t find it particularly unwise to be sure you’ve got the right guy.

  10. The same folks tasked with verifying the target, where the same ones tasked with finding the target, the only decision Obama was concerned with was timing it so that occurred close enough to the election.
    How many servicemen died during the delay?

  12. There is a requirement for positive identification (of the target) and a sevondary dedire to establish patterns of life in and around the target area which could reasonably have taken quite a long time to obtain without revealing surveillance methods and sources. Ten months does seem like quite a long time though.

  13. The biggest surprise is that Obambam didn’t wait until about a week before the vote. But I suppose someone in the White House told him about Carter’s crash. It likely came as a complete shock to Obambam since he wasn’t an American at the time.

  14. He STILL isn’t an American, Joe. He never went through the citizenship process.

  15. Couldn’t pull the trigger for 10 months or so? Or wouldn’t? Sure, there were operational matters that would explain some delay, as Junior mentions above. Let’s hope they were getting valuable intel while they sat on him. But every minute President Strawman dithered, was a minute the Special Ops guys’ lives were risked. For his sake. That’s what’s called “respect for the military”. Still, I’ll bet they’re thankful it wasn’t Romney calling the shots.
    In any case, OBL should have been captured. He wasn’t only because he would have been an embarrassment to anti-Gitmo, anti-military tribunal, anti-rendition, anti-American AliBama.

  16. Obummer just did not want to go ahead until someone came up with the victory slogan “We don’t spike the football”.

    Anybody here who was born in Canada and lives in Canada that had to go through ‘the citizenship process.?’

  18. I’m shocked, SHOCKED to learn that a scheming, self-promoting ward heeler from America’s most corrupt city would do something so sneaky and underhanded!

  19. syf, as far as I know Canadians have to go through much the same process as Kenyans in becoming American citizens.

  20. The delay was a straightforward economic decision. Why not eke out a few more bucks from a good customer of American porn?

    You must be confusing Obama with his father.
    Obama was born in Hawaii. He may have lived some of his formative years in Indonesia, but he was born in Hawaii.
    I’m no Obama fan, but the birther and 9/11 truther conspiracy theories seem pretty wacky to me … even though the target of their derision is against competing political parties.

  22. Obama’s citizenship was conferred by his mother’s US citizenship whether born in Hawaii or Kenya. It’s his eligibility to stand as POTUS that requires Hawaii as his place of birth.
    I suspect that once enough people knew about Bin Laden, Obama figured he had no (political) choice but to CYA to the max and give the reluctant order.

  23. IMHO Bin Landin had become irrelevant-marginalised….and I suspect long deceased when the Abbotabad raid took place.
    This whole matter is murky….especially the clandestine disposal of the alleged remains.
