Barack Obama Says He Won’t Release Death Pictures of Osama Bin Laden

In an interview for ’60 Minutes’ President Barack Obama told Steve Kroft that he will not allow the release of the kill shot images of terror mastermind Osama Bin Laden.Obama stated that the US did not need to “spike the football” and that we do not need to put out such images as trophies.

“It is important to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence or as a propaganda tool,” said the president.

“We don’t trot out this stuff as trophies,” Mr. Obama added. “The fact of the matter is, this is somebody who was deserving of the justice that he received.”

Trotting out as trophies? Once again Obama has a complete disconnect with the American people and just compared photos of a dead Bin Laden to what terrorists do in hanging victims bodies from bridges, dragging them through the street and video-taping the beheading of infidels. The other excuse used by Obama to not release photos of Bin Laden was that it could make radical Islamists slaughter and defile Americans. Huh?  As further opined by the Gateway Pundit, don’t the Islamic terrorists already do this?

A partial transcript of the Barack Obama interview on ’60 Minutes’ can be read HERE, where Obama states, “Bin Laden will not walk this Earth again”.

The question that I have to ask of the planned US Navy Seal incursion is what did the Obama Administration think was going to happen when they decided to have US Seals go in, kill and capture Bin Laden and take pictures. If they had planned on taking photos and video of the raid, did they not plan in advance what to do with those pics once the mission was completed? How could anyone not have an advance plan as to how to handle the photos? Why is Obama making it sound like this was the first time this issue was discussed? So much for planning in advance. One would think that Obama would have experience in the lack of releasing documents to the American public. Guess not.

The Other McCain seconds the idea by Sarah Palin that the photos should be released to the public as a a warning to others as to what will happen to you. If the US can get Bin Laden, we will get you too. Who really thinks that a picture is worse than plugging two bullets into the head of Bin Laden?

A Special Tribute to the US Armed Forces and the Navy Seal Team that Killed Osama Bin Laden … They Had Not Forgotten

THANK YOU …

From the day that terrorism hit the United States at the hands of terrorist mastermind Osama Bin Laden on September 11, 2001 to May 1, 2011 when US Seals killed UBL in Abbottabad, Pakistan … the US military had not forgotten. We thank our Armed Forces for their tireless and persistent efforts. Also a special thank you to the CIA for gaining and working the intelligence.

So many young men and woman have joined the military because of the events of 9-11 and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

A salute to our US soldiers … from Tobie Keith, “American Soldier”. We all owe you a debt that we can never repay, but we sure as hell will try because we know that “Freedom is not free.” They never forgot …

GOD BLESS THE USA!!!

If tomorrow all the things were gone,I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again, with just my children and my wife.

I’d thank my lucky stars, to be livin here today.
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom, and they can’t take that away.

After nearly 10 years, the USA got their man and although this certainly is not the end of the war on terror, far from it. The death of Osama Bin Laden represents justice for the attacks on America and deaths of nearly 3000 individuals that fateful day. I can’t help but reckon back to that day and remember all those who died and the personal accounts, events and individuals that I know personally who lost their lives and had close calls, but for the grace of God would be no longer.

Justice is served and it is extra special that it was done by the US military forces and not just a predator drone. A job well done and thank you … thank you so very much.

Afghanistan: 8 NATO Coalition Troops & 1 Civilian Killed By Afghan Pilot at Kabul Airport (UPDATE: All Killed, American Soldiers)

Nine people have been killed at the Kabul, Afghanistan airport by an Afghan pilot. It is being reported that an argument  between an Afghan pilot and an international colleague resulted in the Afghan military pilot opened fire on international trainers and a “gunfight” ensued.

The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan said an Afghan military pilot opened fire on international troops, sparking a “gunfight.” The Taliban, however, claimed responsibility for the attack and said it had been working with the shooter for some time — an assertion that NATO denied.

It is being reported at the Seattle PI, that all of the all eight of the military troops and the contractor killed by an Afghan pilot Wednesday in Kabul were Americans. Was this a “rogue” pilot or was this a terror act by an Afghan who was working with the Taliban?

Congressman Allen West Confronted by Nezar Hamze, Executive Director of CAIR and Get’s his Hat handed to Him

From the Shark Tank comes the following confrontation at a town hall meeting where CAIR confronted Congressman Allen West and failed miserably. It is a perfect example of don’t ask for things, they might just come true. Or in this case, get an answer that you cannot come back from.

At a townhall meeting hosted by Congressman Allen West on Monday evening in Pompano Beach, the Q&A segment of the meeting featured a Koran wielding Nezar Hamze, Executive Director of the Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR).  Hamze confronted Congressman West and asked him to point out where in the Koran does it give marching orders to Muslims “to carry out attacks against Americans and innocent people”.  West quickly pointed out that the Koran was written long before America even existed and that it does indeed tell believers to kill infidels,

don’t try to blow sunshine up my butt …

PRCELESS!!! AMERICA NEEDS MORE ALLEN WEST’S!

Priceless, Napolitano Visits Afghanistan to Discuss Afghan Border Security, but Back Home Refuses to Secure USA – Mexico Border

File this one under, you have got to be “friggin” kidding me …

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano visits Afghanistan in an attempt to find new ways to establish a border security and customs system to counter terrorism while allowing legitimate travel and trade. WHAT!!! This from the same person who refuses to secure the US – Mexican border? Are you joking,  this is like a bad SNL skit.

I will secure the Afghan border just like I have done with the US-Mexican one

Question, what will Napolitano call the terrorist that sneak across the Afghan-Pakistan border … undocumented Jihadists? How can any one take this serious? Napolitano and her cronies are supposed to affect Afghan border security when right under her very nose in the United States she has failed miderably to secure let alone address the issue of the border.  Just ask the  family of deceased border agent Brian Terry whether Napolitano is doing a good job at securing the border? We have an Obama Administration that is more concerned with going after Arizona and their efforts to protect their citizens than they do securing the border. Now they are going to show their expertise in Afghanistan. I feel confident. Unconfirmed reports states that terrorist in Pakistan were wetting them self with laughter.

Six Department of Homeland Security (DHS) customs and border security officials will accompany Napolitano on the weeklong trip, which will include stops in Qatar, Israel and Belgium.

Napolitano spent Friday morning touring Afghanistan’s Torkham Border Crossing with Pakistan and meeting with Afghan an U.S. border security and customs officials to find new ways to establish a border-security and customs system to counter terrorism while allowing legitimate travel and trade.
