This calls for a cold Shiner Bock.

I find it coincidental that NATO went after Colonel Qaddafi on Saturday and missed him (but killed members of his family instead). Is the West stepping up its attacks against terrorists and other evil persons?  Wars are expensive and the sooner the troops can come home, the less pressure on the budget (which is way out of whack as it is).

We'll find out soon enough if there will be any retaliation by terrorists against the United States and other western countries.  It makes sense to avoid public places and large crowds whenever possible.

WARNING NOW ENTERING THE UNFOUNDED CONSPIRACY THEORY ZONE!

It is possible that Bin Laden has been in custody for any length of time and is still alive and well…. well actually strapped to an inclined  plane with a nasal cannula drip.

Obama may have wanted/needed the announcement for political reasons to be seen later. He releases some birth certificate data now he announces Bin Laden's death this is starting to shape up to a great novel.

Something I have wondered about since the 9/11 attacks is…. if they can produce 20 guys willing to do a suicide mission (one guy missed the departure) why don't they produce hundreds of sniper teams (like the DC sniper pattern) or even thug teams (to shoot up malls movie theaters ect). This announcement could gin up that kind of retribution/response.

Maybe, but if they could they would Bin Laden or not.

I wonder if Obama will use this as his mission accomplished moment and start pulling the troops out of Afghanistan. It would give his re-election chances a great boost.

I think so. And I think this also explains the odd timing.

If his mother was a citizeen then he is. Any child born to a citizen, regardless of the country of birth, is a citizen. All that has to be done is application for a US birth certificate. Interesting that his came from HI after all the Trump stuff.

What's the deal with the media suddenly beginning to call him Usama.

It doesn't sound as much like Obama 

Wow, Jarhead: I think you nailed it!

Back to conspiracy theory: George W. had the chance to take him out at Tora Bora, and didn't. The troops were drawing down from Iraq and we needed somewhere else to go: enter Libya. AND, Osama was in plain site? 35 miles from Islamabad? For how long? And right next to a police station???? And it took 'til now to get him? I think maybe the PTB might not be in Libya that long…maybe they spent enough money (and blood) in Iraq and Afghanistan and seeing that we're about to go bankrupt (the end of QE2), they need to escalate the troop withdrawals so they can start cutting the budget. Who knows? I know I sound contradictory but that's my point…who knows. As for the celebrating in the streets of New York and the White House: God Bless 'em!! That sends a message to the Middle East that I hope makes them sh!t themselves that they're so mad!!!
