THEATER OR FACTS

I find it puzzling that after the greatest manhunt for the worlds most wanted that he has been found as the presidential term is coming to an end and the presidents’ polls are at or near the lowest point of his administration.
I find it curious that news viewers were held spell bound and very nervous as we waited for an hour beyond what was first expected that the president would make an urgent announcement relating to “national security”.

I’m sure many viewers, as did I, expected to hear that something terrible had happened in the Mideast and that we were all in immediate danger, another deployment of troupes to Syria, Iran is nuclear ready and making threats, or anything other than the announcement that was made.

Of course the hour that we waited was ample time for FB postings, telephone calls, tweets and other forms of communication, to increase the optimal viewer numbers. What DRAMA!

The operational force that was reported was the Navy Seals. As I understand they are a Special Forces team who operate on land, sea and air. Their special capacity to operate under water is what separates them from Special Forces of the other armed services. I didn’t see any water around the compound that was shown. Why were the SEALS chosen for this mission? Do we not have 100,000 other troupes within 120 miles of the compound?

Why was it reported that the body of OBL was in US custody and then reported that he had been buried at sea? Why was he buried at sea? Isn’t this the usual and appropriate way to dispose of a body when re-examination for additional information might divulge that previous reports were in fact erroneous?

I hope that OBL was in fact terminated, the actual date and time, I’m still not sure of what the reports are saying. And if it is true I would like to remind everyone that in recent months Hillary Clinton spoke with Asif Ali Zardari the Pakistani President demanding more support in the war against terror, threatening severe sanctions. Perhaps he traded OBL to appease her demands. And if that is true, let’s give credit where credit is due!

Remember the preelection “roll-overs” when she was a competitor for the presidency.

Just Sayin………
