PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Fans at the Mets-Phillies game began chanting “U-S-A! U-S-A!” as the news of Osama bin Laden’s death spread through Citizens Bank Park on Sunday night.
People could be spotted all over the ballpark checking their phones as news that the United States had killed the mastermind behind the Sept. 11 attacks was breaking.
The “U-S-A!” chants started in the top of the ninth inning of the game and picked up in intensity throughout the inning.

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 7:06amMets/Phillies fans? Want to bet more than half of this crowd voted in a Muslim as President. One who proudly listed Al Qaeda as supporter, before they quickly took it down. What hypocrisy.

You people would have cheered if Bush had been able to do it but you’re suspicious when Obama does it. You’re just a bunch of zero-credibility hypocrites.——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
LOL@U,,, I know you and I have never spoken to one another but like I said to the bunch of partisan anti-Bush democrats prior to the 2008 election,,, “Don’t cry foul when the shoe is on the other foot” but I knew they wouldscream bloody murder to about the 10th degree— As always,, I was correct!!!

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 8:39amIf it is true, then we succeeded due to intelligence gained from “Bush’s Failed Policies of the Past.” Guantanamo detainees led to this victory… too bad we didn’t get it shut down yet, huh Barry? Bush may have been terrible as far as growing government goes (WAY better than Obama, but ‘better’ is not good enough) but he had National Security under control, only a little too politically correct, not enough profiling.

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 1:28amWhy aren’t people a little suspicious? It could be that we just got lucky, but is that likely? bin Laden was probably there for a while. The Navy Seals practiced the raid over and over according to Wolfe Blitzer. No casualties. They even showed the mansion and compound burning on CNN. How could trained Seals not capture him or wound him? Here is the leader of Al Qada, a man with lots of information if he truly was the leader. They could not capture him with a few non-lethal wounds in him? I find this hard to believe. I guess I am cynical, but I‘ve seen Obama’s malevolent machinations for what they are. His poll numbers were dipping greatly. Petraeus was taking over the CIA and Panetta was about to leave. There is nothing curious about the timing of this? There is nothing curious about us not being able to catch him? I await more details.
Obama just needs to wave the flag. He did a great job going to Tuscaloosa and giving a “Glenn Beck” speech about being Americans who come together in a crisis. Now all we need is some sort of false flag, fake attack by his lackeys pretending to be Tea Party. Then we are all finished as a country as the great traitor sweeps in for four more years and the end of America.
Maybe this is over reaction, but tell me that the timing isn’t convenient politically and that Seals could not have brought him in bloodied but breathing.

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 2:18amI agree with you about the timing… You have to ask yourself if you were on that raid would of taken him alive even if he had an ak-47 in his hands shooting at you?

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 2:54amSomeone on tv said they would be checking to see if his own people shot him, because he said he would not be taken alive. So we may not have been the ones to kill him. Will be interesting to find out.
