Hypocrisy: WH Security Adviser Tom Donilon Cannot Explain the Difference Between Waterboarding & Shooting Bin Laden in the Eye
Once again the Barack Obama White House is having a communication issue … they cannot explain to the American people how “waterboarding” a terrorist is worse that shooting a terrorist in the head. The obvious answer is, it is not. The Obama administration knows it has a problem when they just can’t answer a simple question.
Watch the VIDEO below courtesy of the Gateway Pundit of White House Security adviser Tom Donilon on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace twist and squirm as he cannot answer the question. The question is simple, how is extreme interrogation and waterbaording of KSM different from shooting Bin Laden in the head?
Tom Donilon stated that waterbaording of Khalid Sheikh Mohammad is not consistent with our values and not necessary to get the kinds of intelligence that we need. This was followed with a question by Chris Wallace, but shooting Bin Laden in the head is consistent with our values? Donilon’s response, we are at war with Osama Bin Laden. Um, as if we are not also at war with KSM?
President Barack Obama gets a gold star for giving the ok on the mission that killed Osama Bin laden; however, the bigger picture and long term issue that has come from the killing of Bin Laden is that Obama and his minions cannot say it is consistent with American values to shoot a terrorist in the head, yet say it is not to interrogate terrorist by any means available. Especially when so many have stated that waterboarding played a role in garnering intel in the “mosaic” the captured and killed Osama Bin Laden. Any thinking and common sense person, ie the American voters, can see that waterboarding was vindicated and played a part in killing Bin Laden and that Obama was wrong.
UPDATE I: Of course Tom Donilon was provided a much more softball interview an ABC’s ‘This Week’ with Christiane Amanpour. Donilon stated that the killing of bin Laden also led to the single largest cache of information ever recovered from a senior terrorist. Of course that treasure trove was also gained in part from extreme interrogation methods, i.e. waterboarding. Of course that part was left out of this interview. Or at least referenced in a negative tone.
Donilon stated that no single piece of intel lead to the capture and killing of Bin Lade, it was 100′s. Except for the fact that many of the ones that came after were a result of the initial intelligence and hard work of CIA analysts. Sorry, but like with any investigation, it had to start somewhere and the nickname of the courier is as good as any.

Barack Obama Allows Photos of Dead American Soldiers But Not Terrorist Osama Bin Laden
Maybe President Barack Hussein Obama would like to explain this one to “We the People” and who ever is the GOP nominee for President in 2012 better damn ask him!
Isn’t this special, as reported by the Gateway Pundit, President Barack Obama was against the release of pictures of Osama Bin Laden but Obama had no issue with releasing pictures of a coffins of dead Unites States soldiers.
The official Obama policy:
Photos of dead US soldiers – Good.
Photos of dead Osama Bin Laden – Bad.
This week President Barack Obama stated that the US would not release any “kill” pics of Osama Bin Laden as he did not want to incite more violence against Americans. One would think that popping two bullets in an unarmed Bin Laden’s head would probably have done much the same. However, if Obama has a no release policy of photos, maybe he can explain the hypocrisy of releasing pics of dead American soldiers? How could the release of these pics be beneficial to America? As Weasel Zippers states, Spiking the other team’s football apparently not a problem”.
Now, the Obama administration has decided to open the gates of Dover. In a policy to be unveiled today, Pentagon officials told reporters, Defense Secretary Robert Gates — the only holdover from the Bush administration — will announce that news photos of flag-draped coffins will be allowed, as long as families agree.

Barack Obama, The Lying King: I Was For Killing Osama Bin Laden Before I was Against It, And Now It’s My #1 Priority
The internet and Google searches are a terrible things, especially when you are a flip-flopping President who just makes stuff up as he goes along. Welcome to Barack Obama: The Lion Lying King, part 27 … “I really want to kill Bin Laden, its always been my #1 priority.”
Talk about your Obama Flip-flops and continuous change of positions on the killing of Osama Bin Laden. How can anyone take what this guy says seriously? Obama’s opinion or policy changes as the wind blows. Is it possible to have a flip-flop to a flip-flop and then a reverse flip-flop with round off, two and a half flip with a twist?
During the 2008 Presidential election, candidate Obama talked a tough game when it came to the war on terror, killing Osama Bin Laden and ending Al-Qaeda.
Then when Obama became President, he very much changed his mind as to the priority of killing Osdama Bin Laden. Watch the following VIDEO where Obama now says in an interview with Katie Couric on January 14, 2009 that his preference is to kill or capture Bin Laden; however, if we have so tightened the noose that we will meet our goal to protect Americans.
All week long since Osama Bin Laden was killed us US Navy Seals, President Barack Obama told us that killing the mastermind terrorist was his top priority. Obama stated he was always for killing Bin Laden. However, what can only be described as Obama’s best impersonation of John Kerry it would appear that Obama was for the liking of Osama before he was against it. The Gateway Pundit has found a doozy from Obama’s past comments courtesy of the UK Times where Obama in 2009 had quite a different narrative than he is preaching today in his “KILL BIN LADEN” victory tour.
Barack Obama suggested last night that removing Osama bin Laden from the battlefield was no longer essential and that America’s security goals could be achieved merely by keeping al-Qaeda “on the run”.
“My preference obviously would be to capture or kill him,” he said. “But if we have so tightened the noose that he’s in a cave somewhere and can’t even communicate with his operatives then we will meet our goal of protecting America.”
Who really thinks by listening to Barack Obama’s own words that killing Osama Bin Laden was always his top priority? But he certainly has no problem taking a victory lap and telling America what his past words and comments have contradicted. Where is the MSM confronting Obama on his lack of consistency of past statements when it came to the death of Bin Laden?

National Gas Price Average at $3.98 as Obama Continues His Bin Laden Victory Lap
As Barack Obama continues his “Kill Osama” victory lap, this time at Fort Campbell in KY, don’t look now to your poll numbers as unemployment rose to 9.0% and gas prices still rising.
According to AAA, the national price of gas at the pump is now $3.98 and rising. There are presently 13 states where was is $4 or greater in the US. President Barack Obama’s answer to the escalating gas prices is to say, there is no silver bullet to the problem and then just ignore it. Of course Obama hopes that the killing of Bin Laden will divert Americans attention from gas prices, but that is pretty difficult when it cost $75-100 to fill up a gas tank. 43% of Americans say that the cost of gasoline has impacted their lifestyle, while 44% are in favor of eliminating the federal gas tax, at least for now. Presently, the federal excise tax on gasoline is 18.4 cents per gallon for regular.
If you are on vacation in Maui, Hawaii do not get caught in In the remote town of Hana where the price of gas is the highest in the country at 6.03.
How will Americans feel when the summer is upon us and individuals vacations are affected? Obama’s “silver bullet” comment may come back to bite him because not doing anything or even attempting to try and do anything as gas prices will act as a silver bullet to his Presidential reelection.

DEAD MAN TALKING … Al Qaeda Confirms Bin Laden’s Death & State They Will Realse Osama Audio Tape
DEAD MAN TALKING …
It’s official, Al-Qaeda has confirmed that Master Sheikh Bin Laden is dead was no longer of this world in an internet message that the terror group released this week. Who needs a pic of a dead Bin Laden when we have the enemy confirmation. Although, didn’t President Obama say the reason why he did not release the photo was to not insight violence? From the statements below from Al-Qaeda, that seems to have backfired. Since there was a burial at sea, the Confederate Yankee is correct in that Bin laden now sleeps with the fishes.
Al-Qaeda is calling Bin Laden a martyr and that they will “continue on the path of jihad, the path walked upon by our leaders, and on top of them” bin Laden “without hesitation or reluctance. The terror group also as reported at CNN, urged Pakistanis “to cleanse this shame that has been attached to them by a clique of traitors and thieves” and “from the filth of the Americans who spread corruption in it.”
The statement, translated by SITE, lauded the late militant, threatened to take action against the United States, and urged Pakistanis to “rise up and revolt.”
Bin Laden’s death will serve as a “curse that chases the Americans and their agents, and goes after them inside and outside their countries,” the message said.
“Soon – with help from Allah – their happiness will turn into sorrow, and their blood will be mixed with their tears,” it said.
According to Reuters, Al-Qaeda is going to release an audio tape of Osama Bin Laden that was made one week prior to his death at the hands of US Navy Seals. The terror group Al-Qaeda has vowed that they will seek revenge on the killing of Bin Laden.
