Photos

I'm happy that bin Laden is dead. It was a long time coming, but at least it's done. Now we know why it took so long. The Pakistani government was hiding the bastard. Yeah, I said it. The reason being is that the truth rolls comfortably off my tongue.

Barry has been about breaking his arm slapping himself on the back for the last few days. And the media has been praising Him for his bravado in going after the worlds most wanted man. At least here in America anyways. Now don't get me wrong, Barry had to approve going into Pakistan to get bin Laden and I'm glad that he did. Barry knew that not giving his blessing would have been a huge nail in his political coffin. Now I'm not saying that Barry didn't want to catch UBL, I just bet he's relieved that it happened while he is still president.

I would say that the groundwork to catch UBL had been laid in the Clinton administration, but we know what a bunch of BS that would be. After all, didn't Slick Willy have a chance or two to take care of this problem, but was worried about his image? Or maybe it was his soft sensibilities that wouldn't tolerate some collateral damage. We all know that it was in the months following 9/11 that the chase for bin Laden really started. At least Barry gave George Bush a passing reference and has invited him to the party at ground zero on 5/5/11. Even money says Barry makes this into a We got him/Cinco De Mayo affair.

All of this aside, I'm disappointed that we don't get to see the photos. We've been subjected to the images of the planes crashing into the World Trade Center, the towers coming down, the Pentagon, the USS Cole and the Embassies in Africa, just to name a few, but we can't see the photos of the guy that put all that into action. Yes, the pictures might disturb some. Yes, there are those that don't care to see them, but a lot of us do. I know that the last thing that went through bin Laden's mind was a .223 caliber round and that makes a bit of a mess, but.......... Besides I think it would be a bit of a catharsis for most.

So come Barry, go back on your word (not that you haven't done that before) and release the photos. This BS of not wanting to offend the Muslim world is growing old. It seems that whenever you make a decision it always leans towards the "We can't offend the Muslims" instead of what the people of America want.

Remember, you are the President of the United States of America, not the lackey of the Muslim world.
