The Witch Is Dead?

Ding dong!

At first I suspected that reports of killing Osama bin Laden -- and immediately burying him (the evidence?) at sea -- were unbelievable. Why would they bury his body -- and follow Muslim protocol, to boot! -- when his body is the ultimate proof that he is, in fact, dead? (What? Are we supposed to take the government's word for it? I don't take the government's word for anything.)

That being said, after reading this, I'm convinced the Witch is Dead.

And, surprisingly, my respect for Barrack Hussein Obama has grown. This is the first constitutional, proper and "American" action Obama has taken since taking office.

It appears that sometimes even the tone deaf can hit the right note.

CORRECTION: Or maybe not. Apparently my fears of government misinformation were justified. Our government has allegedly disposed of OBL's body. They won't release any photographs. They admit that the video feed of the assault on the OBL's compound "went dark" for 25 minutes (during his alleged demise) -- contradicting all initial reports and promises. In other words, we can't verify OBL's dead! We just have to take Obama's word for it. (What is it with this president and his propensity for secrecy, obfuscation and deceit? He is a liar from the beginning! That is why I distrust and despise the man.)

UPDATE: The story keeps changing. Now the intense, near-continuous firefight that lasted upwards of 40 minutes with multiple, armed resistors has devolved to a lone armed opponent (firing from a guest house) who was summarily killed, together with each of the remaining (soon-to-be deceased) unarmed "enemy combatants", including OBL.

Oh, sure, in the movies it's always "shoot-to-kill", no questions asked. (They even killed a woman caught in the crossfire!) But why not take OBL alive? Was he really "lunging" for a weapon? And yet they shot him in the eye? Those are pretty fast reflexes, Navy SEAL guy! Where's the damn video to confirm all this? They have it. Why is it now (conveniently) unavailable?

Otherwise, what were Obama and his team watching in that room? A blank screen?

I mean, look at these faces. They're horrified.

Bob Ellis puts into words what we all suspect to be true: They couldn't be more bumblingly incompetent. Are our "leaders" actively trying to get us all killed?
