next stop . . . Armageddon
The end of days is near, folks. Nancy Pelosi, former speaker of the House of Representatives and ardent critic of the Bush Administration's failure to quickly capture OBL, (see my 5/3/2011 post) called George Bush (he is such a lucky ducky) to thank him for his efforts that made OBL's capture possible. What's next? Hopefully, Obama will morally rejuvenate himself and admit the patient care and protection act is a 2000+ page pile of porkulus in dire need of repeal. Ha Ha Ha, I'm such a dreamer.

Osama bin Laden died for his sins
On Sunday May 1. 2011, President Obama announced to the world (after a 30+ minute delay) that Osama bin Laden was killed by an American Armed Forces Special Operations team. The team found him in a heavily fortified, $1 million mansion in Abbotabad, Pakistan. Abbotabad is a suburb of Islamabad, Pakistan and the home of a Pakistani military academy. Several retired Pakistani Military (read as rich) lived very close to the compound. The team, Seal Team 6 to be precise, came in by helicopter and left 40 minutes later with bin Laden's corpse. Bin Laden was buried at sea on the USS Carl Vinson. The rationale for this was to respect Muslim burial tradition of burial within 24 hours of death. Burial at sea was chosen to prevent the grave from becoming a shrine or Mecca for his followers.
A lot of people are breathing a sigh of relief over this.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is not one of them. She did a complete 180 degree turn from her position in 2006. Then, she said bin Laden had done irreversible harm to the nation and finding him would never correct it. Way back in 2006, she said that the capture or killing of OBL was 5 years too late and would not make the USA any safer. On Monday May 1, 2011, Ms. Pelosi said “The death of Osama bin Laden marks the most significant development in our fight against al-Qaida,” Check out the link below for all the details. A special thanks to Michelle Malkin for bringing this to my attention.
