It's all about narrative. They had to kill him to keep him from mounting a defense to the charges against him. Alive and talking, Osama bin Laden would have sharply disagreed with many of the allegations against him. For all we know, he might have even been persuasive in some of the things he said.

We were told, for example, of the friendship between bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. It was the basis for the invasion of Iraq; we were told we had to conquer Iraq to keep Saddam from supplying bin Laden with nuclear weapons. Osama would likely have challenged this assertion and might have convinced Americans that our government lied.

If Obama is sending out hit squads simply to sustain support for his policies, that's not a good enough reason. There's no war between the United States and the gang of international criminals known as Al Qaeda. Much of our Middle East policy is based on lies, and Obama is sending out hit squads to sustain those lies. This is not in America's interest.

Obama has done more deliberate damage to the economy than all the Presidents put together! He will not allow American Oil (private business) but will pay Brazil, 200 billion of American Taxpayer's money, to drill theirs and then hopefully be allowed to buy from Brazil. Hey, the idiot should have given every American a piece of OUR money, to buy votes if nothing else. It would help defray the cost of gas to Americans. No, Obama has repeatedly stated that Americans are just going to have to get use to higher energy prices while he gives our money away to 3rd World Countries for them to become self sufficient. That also means the failure to create thousands of American jobs,.......be less dependent on other Countries who do not like us,it would allow us to buy American........... Of course, that is radically different from a "Community Organizer(s)", who has not been proud to be an American, who teaches people to hate the government, sees the government as the enemy, but demands that the government support them............. Check your facts, Obama has lost, rather than create more jobs than anyone else, so he should be able to "create" more jobs than anyone else. However, the jobs he created are GOVERNMENT jobs, which are a drain on the economy, not a benefit. Only businesses create real jobs that do not cost the taxpayer but gives the government more tax monies. Government jobs cost the taxpayer....

I think you are wrong in your comparison with Trump. I would say his ego was very close to Obamas! Right.

jdi2269...The "COMMUNITY ORGANIZER"... I guess you can't call him "Not American" or "Muslim" anymore, so you're left with "Community Organizer" like that was such a bad thing to begin with. And, BTW in terms of the economy, the Facts are the Obama administration has created more jobs in this last year than the Bush administration did in eight years.

Another bunch of idiotic statements! You just could not resist, could ya! Well, one could definitely state the same of Obama, who was dragged kicking and screaming to this decision but now egotistically claims all the credit and will still allow Holder to go after the people who got the information!!!! Now wasn't it ole' Obama who gave Queen Elizabeth a present of tapes of himself and sent back Winston Churchill. Now, come on and get real, Obama has them all beat in the circus!!!!
