This stuff was just in the conspiracy world until late Monday when the information was slowly fed to selected outlets.
Here is the people story. (PEOPLE MAGAZINE!?)
Here is another random story off of a search.
Note: Most of the stories based on the story broke by this author.
So, the existence of an elite assassination team was
Or is it just 2 minutes of hate? (if so it worked!)
OBL has been living there, next to a military college for a while now. So, I guess it was a good idea to take him out just as soon as they found him?
Here is a link to a fellow in Pakistan who they say tweeted the raid. I suppose this could just be random. The exploded helicopter is interesting. Why lie about it being shot down? Just part of the Jessicalynching of the whole thing?
Everybody I know is in favor. I couldn't find a single skeptic yesterday. Even with the people that lean towards the strange twin towers conspiracy theories.

After being a news/politics junkie for the last 20 years, I'm now in "head buried in sand" mode. Haven't listened to talk radio since wheat planting in Oct. I read the local news in the G-T but am paying very little attention to the national/world stage. I'm suspicious that this is what the opposition wants. But I am much less pissed off than I would be otherwise.

Glad that this is over. Now maybe they can fix the budget.
ReplyDeleteDid you get the planting done?
