I want to hear from reputable witnesses, like the Seals, and a few of the hundreds of men aboard that ship.

Here's pics of 3 dead, supposedly from the raid. How many are they claiming they shot now?
I have also seen several people suggesting this helicopter looks like some type of drone, or unmanned type aviation vehicle.

I think we need to leave the Seals out of it. Can you imagine the targets that would be painted on their families if their names became public? Not good!

The SEALS were honored at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, but those who participated in the bin Laden strike weren't named. As you rightly suggest, they and their families would be targeted. President Obama thanked them for the American people, as he did during the Sixty Minutes interview with Steve Kroft...he even praised Bush.

So we honor the people that remain unnamed with secret identities, and we are at war with the unnamed with secret identities.
Am I the only one that thinks somethin's not right in Denmark.

War used to be so much easier, when you had a specific enemy, who wore a uniform, from a country they identified with, and a General who had a name.
Do you suppose that they might stop hating us, if we got out of their countries, and quit trying to pick their leaders for them? Here we are struggling to figure out how to pay the credit card off, while we continue to spend like there's no tomorrow, and fighting 3 wars, while none have actually been declared. We can't tell our friends from our enemies, but dammit we're gonna kills some of em if they question our authority.
It's a crazy mixed up world we're livin in, that requires a fundamental transformation come 2012.

Actually, it's "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark." No need to pretend that any of this is new...we supported the ouster of even democratically-elected leaders because they were too left-leaning (see
Guatemala, El Salvador, Argentina) and backed repressive military regimes.
We backed Castro before he actually overthrew Batista. I'm no fan of any of that. However, bin Laden had sworn to destroy America; he put out the videos bragging about their success after 9/11. I welcome a fundamental transformation come 2012...perhaps "They shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and study war no more."

Meanwhile Obama is out there stirring them into a frenzy, begging them to attack us. This latest "leak" about the porn should do the trick. I, for one, don't believe a word of it. He is intentionally inciting them.

That is because he has class. Even though Bush dropped the ball with 3 seconds on the clock President Obama won't belittle him. Being 'Too nice a guy' is his biggest flaw. Repugs fight dirty.

I know...he has always said that he believes in the ability of the American people to make sound judgements; it goes back to his days as a state senator. I dare the right wingers to watch the 60 Minutes interview and count the instances of "we" as opposed to "I." President Obama truly believes that "Democracy is the art of compromise." Who could have known that the GOP would simply refuse to engage in the business of governing?

It is up to our representatives to compromise on legislation, or to hold their ground on vital issues of the American people - this pretender has nothing to do with it. He isn't our King.

All the so-called leaks about bin Laden, like the porn, have been carefully selected for the ears and eyes of his supporters who had him on a mystical pedestal. No, the administration isn't trying to "incite them" to attack us again, they are trying to demystify bin Laden. To show his followers that the man was not the devoutly religious leader living an austere life that they believed him to be, and thus not worth their devotion.

But I'm not surprised you don't believe any of the leaks considering you still don't even believe Obama was born in Hawaii. Doesn't matter. It only matters that his followers believe them.
