Fox News’s Jennifer Griffin is reporting that the fire burning overnight at the compound where Osama bin Laden was killed was actually the result of a U.S. Blackhawk helicopter going down.
The chopper reportedly had mechanical problems and was forced to land inside the compound. In order to protect technological secrets, the Navy SEAL team blew it up:

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 9:25amObama has been so dishonest since the day he became president, it is difficult to believe he is telling the truth this time.

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 12:59pmIf Obama was going to fake this, He’d do it in September, or October of 2012. Plus, it won’t save him from $5 agallon gas, 10% real inflation, and high persistent unemployment.

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 9:21amOur military is out-standing. I pray that this in fact is true but Bin Laden could turn up with Elvis at Mcdonalds for all we know. I guess it is hard for me to take obama at his word. Something just does not feel right about this. On one hand I am happy, on the other , I have this hinky feeling it is just another lie coming from the WH and the news media is playing it up without real facts. This would be another opportunity for obama to take credit for something he had absolutely nothing to do with.

Beaking news! I just heard on that Obozo has found a cure for cancer in his personal laboratory in the basement of the White House. He will give it to the public as soon as he gets reelected in 2012.
Don’t worry, he’s not lying like all the other times, he promises he is telling the truth this time.

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 9:07amThey had to know for sure where he was, they couldn’t just barge into Pakistan. Also, it was TWO DAYS later that they made the announcement. If they had just announced it right away and it turned out they were wrong they would have been screwed. Seriously, think things through. When you hear hoofs, don‘t assume it’s a Zebra, it’s probably a horse.

He showed the americans that other people exist and can effect even a superpower. He changed the world and america for a long time to come.He was the david who gave it to the complacent americans .And this takes the sails out of the right wing-Obama is a shoe in for 2012.
