Real estate prices in Abottabad are through the roof. Lots of Californians moving there buying up everything.

Too many people and civilization for Maris to appreciate it there.

The Value Add is being so closed to the military school!

The Value Add is being so closed to the military school!

Or perhaps the price tag included the bribes to local officials..

Let's be clear on this:

Admiral Ackbar did NOT destroy the Death Star. A Rebel pilot did. Ackbar just happened to be the one who recognized a trap. This is not an Ackbar victory, but a Rebel victory. Don't let him distract you from the fact that he has never produced an official Mon Calamari birth certificate.

I'm a pretty big dork, but reading those comments made me feel like HCP. Without the soap-dropping.

I figured the only thing left to do on this issue was geek out.

Obama: 'Getting our man' outweighed risks of raid

The helicopter raid "was the longest 40 minutes of my life," Obama told CBS' "60 Minutes,"

No wonder presidents age so much while in office. Sometimes you really do have the fate of the nation and world on your shoulders.

I found it a little small of Obama he didn't give the previous Administration credit during his speech. The Bush Administration took a lot of flak for policies that in the end help catch this maggot.

besides misdirecting the vast majority of our military resources towards invading/occupying Iraq that largely placed us in the dire economic straights we find ourselves in today, directing the Army to stand down in Tora Bora Dec. 2001, and disbanding the CIA task force who's mission is was to capture/kill Osama in 2005, what policies are you referring to? Disgracing/endangering our soldiers/country by torturing various Iraqi's that turned up zippo? His policies/actions made it seem as if George actually meant his famous quote made March 13th 2002...“I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.”

how unreasonable is it to speculate on the possibility that W turned down the President's request to take part and be honored in the post Osama killing ceremonies because that would have reflected bad on him in his family's ongoing dealings with the Saudis and specifically the bin Ladens?

I think you have to give the President credit for doing the right thing and ordering a strike inside another soveriegn country. If this wasn't bin Laden, it's an act of war. He took a big risk, and the military rewarded him for it.

As I've said, let the military do their jobs.

Didn't work out so well for Jimmy Carter when he made the same decision to send in a force to rescue the hostages in Iran. Military failed him badly, costing him a re-election. It always smelled like a deliberate failure to me, orchestrated by the Reagan gang. I have trouble believing our military was as inept as the official story made them appear, almost like Keystone Kops.

Most factory workers don't put themselves in harm's way.

You've obviously never worked in a factory.

 

[MARIS61]

He gave Bush credit, and he called Bush before the speech to inform him of the good news. He also kept Bush's Secy. of Defense and his general that won the war in Iraq.

Uh, we haven't won the war in Iraq.
