- These cases are all over the map: Plea bargain in Tarrant County for DWI Manslaughter results in a probation requiring the defendant to wear a bracelet with the victim's name on it; reimburse her mother $22,271.46 in funeral expenses; and spend Christmas, Thanksgiving, the Fourth of July, and the dates of the victim's birth and death in the Tarrant County Jail.
- The second that I heard of an unplanned presidential address on Sunday night (I was fortunate enough to be watching CNN when the first mention of it occurred), I knew it was going to be big. I couldn't remember the last time a president made a national address with one hour's notice.
- I said it yesterday, but there will be an Osama Is Not Dead Conspiracy and it will be huge.
- And that's why they've got to release the photo of his corpse. (But there's some speculation that there wasn't much left to look at -- that the one shot to the head report is a gross understatement.)
- ABC News said this morning that the latest information is that the White House is "seriously" considering releasing one photo today.
- I hope whoever/whomever fired the fatal Bin Laden shot(s) never is identified. That would be much cooler than being on Oprah and writing books. Not as lucrative, but definitely cooler.

A politician's popularity can be a very temporary thing. Bush 41's approval was over 90% 18 months before he lost the election. Obama gets a deserved bump for this success, but as a certain Liberally-Leaning blogger has pointed out, the economy will play a much bigger role than anything else. (Unemployment still over 8%? Gas over $4 a gallon? Inflation making everything more expensive? Hello, 2012!)
I hope they never release the name of Bin Laden's shooter for safety reasons! Seems like you'd be asking for crazies to come retaliate.
osama/bama deal didn't hit my radar. Just more propaganda and whoopla to try to give bammy some points. I was watching Celebrity Apprentice and would rather have the Donald than that lying sob we have now. This little stunt has deepened my hatred of the current idiot in office.
Let's be clear on this: OBAMA did NOT kill Bin Laden. An American soldier, who Obama just a few weeks ago was debating on whether or not to PAY, did. Obama just happened to be the one in office when our soldiers finally found OBL and took him out. This is NOT an Obama victory, but an AMERICAN… victory!!
You have GOT to be kidding about no one wanting to run against bammy now! What are you smoking??? Bammy had NOTHING to do with this SUPPOSED kill. Much ado about NOTHING.
Butterface!

The SEAL philosophy (or any elite commando team, for that matter) probably reflects the line from Patton (paraphrased):
"No American ever won a war by dying for his country. Americans win wars by making the other poor dumb bastard die for HIS country!"
Man up a bit, Green! Guys don't consider a sit-down with Oprah as being "cool".
As therapy, try staring intently at the center portion of today's pic until a warm tingly feeling envelops your naughty bits.
I realize that using "naughty bits" as a euphemism isn't that manly, either. But this is a semi-pubic - oops - public forum, so...
Triple Fake Freudian-Slip-Is-Showing
Way to go, 8:53. Copy and paste the same comment that was floating all over Facebook over the weekend. Classy! I had thought reposting stuff on Facebook was the laziest thing ever, but I think you take the Lazycakes.
YOU TOO can be assault ready, checkout the Decatur Police Academy !
"If there were any potential Republican presidential candidates who were deciding whether to run, they might have serious reservations now."
WHY NOT?!?!?!
If I were a Republican candidate, I would relish the opportunity to tell Obama to his face that his position on doing away with enhanced interrogations (not to mention threatening to prosecute anyone who conducted them) was flat-out WRONG, and this killing of Bin Laden proves it!!
Hell, Obama wanted these men to undergo public trials in New York City. We NEVER would have found Bin Laden if we'd done that!
Don't be so simple-minded!
Plus.....the economy aint getting any better, despite what you keep telling us!
Barry the pic of bin Laden is on the internet. True pic shows bullet entry over L.Eye.
To the mass of gun-jumpers who are attributing the finding of OBL to torture techniques, please take a breath and do some research (no in FOX News).
As would expected, Wordkyle, Rumsfeld, Palin, and all the other circus clowns of the right wing big top are showing true form. But do you notice how all the destructive policies that George Bush enacted to destroy the economy are now President Obama's fault, yet the killing of Obama is credited to Bush. I guess Bush league politics is an appropriate term.
The AP is now modifying their original overstatements, "Mohammed did not reveal the names while being subjected to the simulated drowning technique known as waterboarding, former officials said. He identified them many months later under standard interrogation, they said, leaving it once again up for debate as to whether the harsh technique was a valuable tool or an unnecessarily violent tactic."
Hey Barry, when you feel a tingling feeling going up and down your leg when you say obama you think oh wow. Its really you tinkling down your leg.
To those people who believe Obama had nothing to do with Bin Laden's death, take the time to be objective. When Bush left office, he had basically given up the hunt. As it turns out, the guy was not in Afghanistan, but rather Pakistan; however, that doesn't change the fact that prior to his departure, we thought he was in Afghanistan and Bush decided to take all the drones out of that region and commit them to Iraq, where we certainly knew he wasn't. Obama certainly could have made this a low priority, but he didn't - he made it a high priority. But W/K and Barry are both right about the economy. He can say "my administration was successful in tracking down and killing Bin Laden" until he's blue in the face (no pun intended) but that won't get him one single vote when inflation is running over 10%, unemployment is in over 8% and gas is @ $5.00 a gallon and driving the price of groceries through the ever-lovin' roof. Personally, that sounds like a field the Republicans will enjoy playing on.
Just a reminder that when Sen. Obama said in 2008 he would go after Osama bin Laden in Pakistan based on actionable intelligence, John McCain criticized him as 'inexperienced' in national security and Mitt Rommey called him 'Dr. Strangelove.'
Nice one, 8:53!
Shot between the eyes, The Sun has a great article:

Rasmussen shows no bounce for Obama in voters polled since the assassination announcement.
CNN is reporting that a CIA asset by the name of David Webb fired the kill shot and not a Navy SEAL.
9:36 I love the way you make (in your own mind) actual facts about the whole process.
LOL
Jason B, that's one of the subtlest jokes I've ever seen on this blog. Nicely done.
To the mass of gun-jumpers who are attributing the finding of OBL to torture techniques, please take a breath and do some research (no in FOX News)
Please enlighten us with HOW YOU KNOW 100% it didn't happen. Were you there at Gitmo? If you were not you do not know the actual facts. Your preferred "news" listening pleasures are no different than FOX. Geeeezzzz.....
and you trust CNN because.....
If this is the case Mr. David Webb now has a bounty on his head, his family has a bounty, and there will be lots of Nut Job Extremists trying to cash. Can't the news just act decent for once.
I bet there is no jihad honnor in dying of kidney failure. I am sure it was him, but thats all I am sure about.

He identified them many months later under standard interrogation, they said, leaving it once again up for debate as to whether the harsh technique was a valuable tool or an unnecessarily violent tactic."
That's only because he didn't want any more waterboarding done to him :)
"hey America, remember that time that something hit the Pentagon, and we confiscated nine tapes from various locations facing the destroyed area, and then after years of legal wrangling, released three frames from a single security camera and it showed beyond a doubt that that big plane flew right in there? Well, here's your one allotted photo of dead Bin Laden. See, proof. Bye stupid!!!"
President Obama deserves credit in relation to that operation on multiple fronts.
A plan was presented to him to kill Bin Laden with an airstrike to his house. The President rejected this even though it could have been done without risk to US forces and with low risk of collateral damgage. He ordered the ground mission specifically to be able to collect DNA evidence.
Also, he knew a crashed helicopter or about a dozen other scenarios causing mass US casualties would be disasterous politically, but he did the right thing.
Jason Bourne wasn't a SEAL, he was a Power Ranger. DUH!
Wish they would have saved the body for a Weekend at Bernies sequel.
AMERICA! %&^% YEA! COMING TO SAVE THE MOTHER *^(&^(*&G DAY NOW!!!!
-Team America: World Police
Here's the truth: we got the information because American interrogators finally asked the question three times. There's no way anyone could stand up to that.
Sometimes I wonder what would happen if you ever caught a burglar in your house. Would you (1) run and call the police (2) fight the burglar with your bare hands or (3) feel sorry for him and point out other things he can take?
Because you liberals sure do have a passive attitude towards criminals and terrorists!
The primary failure of the attempted 1980 rscue was not from "helicopter" failure per say, it was inability to navigate through a kind of "dust storm" which in itself damaged the hydraulic systems of one 'copter and the fact that the night vision goggles of the era did not provide ample depth or peripheral vision, which is what caused the pilot of the other 'copter to crash into the fuel transport.
Obama was convinced by the CIA that we needed to not bomb Usama, so we could obtain whatever intelligence was in the place.
What no mention of Canada coming to her senses, with the conservatives kicking the liberals to the curb and taking over parliment?
Information has just been leaked about how we were able to find Bin Laden!
Apparently Osama got on the wrong side of his neighborhood HOA because he painted the walls of his compound without first obtaining permission of the architectual committee.
Let this be a lesson to you: don't mess with your HOA!
Any photo can be photoshopped and faked, just like birth certificates, when liars are in charge.
Is the Steelers RB a negra? They'll believe all kinds of crazy.
11:51, the country's top liberal just had the world's top terrorist executed. How's that for soft on terror?
12:21, do you think a Canadian conservative looks anything like one of our wingnuts, that are mor ereligious fanatic than political conservative?
Rage
Some day, the truth will be told, but not by me, no, not me, I won't tell the story about how the CIA came to me and asked me to go on a one man suicide mission somewhere in the Middle East. No, I'll never tell. Remember, I'm immune to torture.

If you want to learn more about Navy SEALS, I recommend "Rainbow Six" by Tom Clancy.
Bush's administration had a brilliant plan for hunting down OBL.
Overtly announce and deploy resources to the Afgan/Pakistan border. Let everyone know that you're looking for OBL there.
While OBL is laughing at the apparent missteps of the US Military, Bush has his COVERT operations working within Pakistan. This eventually leads us to the compound where OBL died.
Deception and Misdirection...brilliant!
If you want to learn more about Navy SEALS, I recommend "Rainbow Six" by Tom Clancy.
Which is about an international collection of special forces troops that have already been trained, not a SEAL team.
I recommend something else.

2:09 Were you directly involved in the "whole" operation while President Bush was in office or are you telling what you believe to be the truth from news outlets?
That goes for the rest of you too? Unless you worked side by side with the military and/or WH you know NO actual truth. GIVE IT UP
Rage,
I don't care what they look like.
But they are lowering business taxation and pushing for domestic drilling, two things we should be doing. Maybe we can install high speed rail, Brownsville to Toronto and the Mexicans leave our jobs alone.

"nine point jump"? Dude, he's half black. He jumped at least a foot and and a half.
2:51, Repu¡licans created business taxes in Texas. It's Perry's pet. They even double tax partnerships now! Texas has some of the highest taxes in the nation, thanks to Republicans.

It's been reported that the operation was in motion, with or without BHO on board - as he apparently, as is his wont, waffled about whether to authorize.
If that report turns out to be substantially correct, he won't even get the Democratic nomination.
The picture tells a story. That is not an image of an in-charge CIC.
Maybe Rahm-E will give him a job.
They say Osama had blue eyes;one blew this way and the other another way.By the way,ever see someone shot in the head with a 5:56 round?Eyes usually not in head.
