So we are presented, based on this evidence, with a disabled old grey-beard, with the use of only one arm, the owner of a weak heart, and drug dependent. Do we really think that US espionage hadn’t established this long before the raid? Can we really accept that this ailing man who retreated to his bedroom (after dodging a near miss in the hallway) put up resistance that forced the attackers to kill him? I can’t – even though I think what the Seals did was absolutely right. My only beef here is with the mealy-mouthed holier-than-thou crap put out by a variety of sanctimonious Obama officials. Yesterday, latching onto a vote-snatching wave of brainless US jingosim, Barack Obama – speaking before cheering troops at Fort Campbell in Kentucky – said, “These Americans deserve credit for one of the greatest military operations in our nation’s history.” I think this to be not only bollocks, but also an insult to previous brave Americans who gave their lives for far higher causes against infinitely greater odds. I say again: this is not to decry what these brave Navy Seals achieved. It is merely a reiteration of what The Slog has insisted since Day One of Obama Bin Lyin’, viz, the largeing of this operation – and the blind eye to what the security and revenge ramifications of it might be – is far more about Four More Years than it is about the ‘war against terrorism’.
