A View To A Kill

Obama:  five. 

Osama:  3,000. 

FIVE wins!

But wait!  Where’s the proof of this ‘view to a kill’?

What about those of us without a TS/SCI full field CIA/NSA POLY and program read-on?  What do we get to see?  Any digital video?  (Not that this is proof, as it could easily be faked.)  How about some blurry ‘point and shoot’ digital photographs?  (Again, not proof for the above reason.)  Sound samples?  Anything?

Is Prez O asking us to simply believe we grabbed Osama and dumped his body in the sea?  Who does O think he is?  Dexter?

How do we know for sure that the SEALs didn’t just deliver flowers and candy and escort Osama back to Saudi Arabia?  (Like the shrub did for the Osama’s relatives the day after 911. < http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Sky-News-Archive/Article/200806412758358 >)  How do we know Osama didn’t single handedly shoot down that helicopter, kill the whole CIA/SEAL team,  and then ride off on a horse as he did from Afghanistan?  < http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1382011/Bin-Ladens-great-escape-How-worlds-wanted-man-fools-elite-troops-whod-trapped-mountain-lair.html >

What sort of ‘dog-and-pony show’ are we going to get?  It had better be as good as the Stanley Kubrick Apollo Moonwalk movies!

My military source, Major Max Overkill, tells me that there’s no way ‘we’ would have just busted down the hideout and killed Osama.  We would have grabbed him and made him participate in some recreational water boarding.  (No worse than a good hazing, after all.)  He would have then happily volunteered the locations of all of the rest of his lieutenants. Max also explains that even if he was killed, the agency would have (at least) kept a small souvenir for its collection (just like our troops do < http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1370758/Shocking-video-shows-U-S-troops-cheering-airstrike-blows-Afghan-civilians.html >).  More likely, they would have put him on ice in the basement of the CIA (if there was enough left).

I don’t know what O’s up to (well…besides getting reelected), but I would beseech him to please stop with this tired old trope of asking us to just believe whatever some GovCorp official says.  If GovCorp can't trust US, why should we trust them?  Let’s establish a new policy:  if GovCorp can’t PROVE what it has to say, don’t even bother us with it!  Historians can dig the truth out of whatever records are left behind after we’ve gotten whatever we’ve got coming, if and when, al-Qaida decides to pull off some operation and succeeds at it (with or without Osama and Obama).
