No matter how the GOP and some of the media try to spin the defeat and killing of Osama Bin Laden, the Maytag spinning will not work. The meme has always been the Democrats are soft on national security. NOT.TRUE!
LET THE MEDIA BRING IN ALL THE RETREAD GOP FROM THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION TO CLAIM A PORTION OF THE VICTORY, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ALLOWED BIN LADEN TO ESCAPE FOR THEIR OWN SELFISH GAIN.
The mass murderer Bin Laden was held up in a mansion in a compound in Pakistan.
The Republicans allowed him to escape and build the compound to hideout for profit. Lawrence O’Donnell tells some of the story here. TRUTH!
We know that President Obama is more than capable and ready to receive that 3 am call, and while the GOP and the media attached itself to the teabaggers, birthers, and Trump, President Obama was masterfully doing this:
Your thoughts?
this was a great piece by O’Donnell. so absolutely on point, and it’s why the GOP is shitting their pants, and have been since Sunday night.
You know they did!
On my way to work this morning, I was listening to NPR. The guest talked about Twitter getting the word out about OBL’s death before radio & cable networks. He said that the best source for current news on his death can be found online Wikipedia.
So here goes the link with an excerpt FYI.
Excerpt:
Death of Osama bin Laden
The death of Osama bin Laden occurred during Operation Geronimo,[1] a raid by United States Special Forces operators on his safe house[2] in Pakistan that took place on May 2, 2011, around 01:00 Pakistan Standard Time (May 1, 20:00 UTC, 16:00 EDT/13:00 PDT). The operation resulted in Bin Laden being killed by a shot to the head,[3][4] in Abbottābad,[5] a town 32 miles (51 km) north of the Pakistani capital Islamabad; US forces then took his body to Afghanistan for investigation before burying it at sea.[6][7][8]
The operation was carried out by members of the United States Navy SEALs from the Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU),[9] colloquially referred to as SEAL Team Six,[10] under the command of the Joint Special Operations Command, in conjunction with U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operatives. The team was sent across the border of Afghanistan to launch the attack.[11]
The killing of bin Laden received a favorable reaction in the United States and was welcomed by Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations,[12] NATO, the European Union, and a large number of countries as a positive and significant turning point for global security and the War on Terror.
