Spike That Football!

What was it Barack Obama said last year? Oh yeah! Here it is, and it’s a direct quote:

“As a propaganda tool. You know, that’s not who we are. We don’t trot out this stuff as trophies. The fact of the matter is this was somebody who was deserving of the justice that he received. And I think Americans and people around the world are glad that he’s gone. But we don’t need to spike the football….”

And here is the latest Team Obama campaign ad which was released less than one week ago:

Okay kids! Who knows what the meaning of “hypocrite” is?

And with this video we have absolute evidence that Barack Obama uses propaganda… by his own definition. To those Obamaphiles that just don’t get it, and deny the use of propaganda, read that quote by Obama again. Particularly the first four words, and the first two sentences.

And to dampen this parade even more, it wasn’t even Obama that issued the kill order on Bin Laden, it was Leon Panetta.

Obama even bungled this. He hesitated and hem-hawed like a deer in headlights showing how much of an amateur he is. He can’t make the right 3 AM decisions, let alone a correct decision at all. He’s weak and spineless. He was overruled by senior military and intelligence staff that took control of the situation while he was relieved and forced to sit on the bench.

Q: You stated that President Obama was “overruled” by military/intelligence officials regarding the decision to send in military specialists into the Osama Bin Laden compound.  Was that accurate?

A: I was told – in these exact terms, “we overruled him.” (Obama)  I have since followed up and received further details on exactly what that meant, as well as the specifics of how Leon Panetta worked around the president’s “persistent hesitation to act.”  There appears NOT to have been an outright overruling of any specific position by President Obama, simply because there was no specific position from the president to do so.  President Obama was, in this case, as in all others, working as an absentee president.

I was correct in stating there had been a push to invade the compound for several weeks if not months, primarily led by Leon Panetta, Hillary Clinton, Robert Gates, David Petraeus, and Jim Clapper.  The primary opposition to this plan originated from Valerie Jarrett, and it was her opposition that was enough to create uncertainty within President Obama.  Obama would meet with various components of the pro-invasion faction, almost always with Jarrett present, and then often fail to indicate his position.  This situation continued for some time, though the division between Jarrett/Obama and the rest intensified more recently, most notably from Hillary Clinton.  She was livid over the president’s failure to act, and her office began a campaign of anonymous leaks to the media indicating such.  As for Jarrett, her concern rested on two primary fronts.  One, that the military action could fail and harm the president’s already weakened standing with both the American public and the world.  Second, that the attack would be viewed as an act of aggression against Muslims, and further destabilize conditions in the Middle East.

Q: What changed the president’s position and enabled the attack against Osama Bin Laden to proceed?

A: Nothing changed with the president’s opinion – he continued to avoid having one.  Every time military and intelligence officials appeared to make progress in forming a position, Jarrett would intervene and the stalling would begin again.  Hillary started the ball really rolling as far as pressuring Obama began, but it was Panetta and Petraeus who ultimately pushed Obama to finally act – sort of.  Panetta was receiving significant reports from both his direct CIA sources, as well as Petraeus-originating Intel.  Petraeus was threatening to act on his own via a bombing attack.  Panetta reported back to the president that a bombing of the compound would result in successful killing of Osama Bin Laden, and little risk to American lives.  Initially, as he had done before, the president indicated a willingness to act.  But once again, Jarrett intervened, convincing the president that innocent Pakistani lives could be lost in such a bombing attack, and Obama would be left attempting to explain Panetta’s failed policy.  Again Obama hesitated – this time openly delaying further meetings to discuss the issue with Panetta.  A brief meeting was held at this time with other officials, including Secretary Gates and members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but Gates, like Panetta, was unable to push the president to act.  It was at this time that Gates indicated to certain Pentagon officials that he may resign earlier than originally indicated – he was that frustrated. Both Panetta and Clinton convinced him to stay on and see the operation through.

Team Obama has even managed to bungle this propaganda-campaign ad by using former President Bill Clinton as its narrator. The very man who took a pass, more than once, on taking Bin Laden in to custody. In essence, Clinton gave Bin Laden his freedom, and created a monster.

Bill Clinton ignored repeated opportunities to capture Osama bin Laden and his terrorist allies and is responsible for the spread of terrorism, one of the ex-president’s own top aides charges.

Mansoor Ijaz, who negotiated with Sudan on behalf of Clinton from 1996 to 1998, paints a portrait of a White House plagued by incompetence, focused on appearances rather than action, and heedless of profound threats to national security.

Ijaz also claims Clinton passed on an opportunity to have Osama bin Laden arrested.

Sudanese President Omar Hassan Ahmed Bashir, hoping to have terrorism sanctions lifted, offered the arrest and extradition of bin Laden and “detailed intelligence data about the global networks constructed by Egypt’s Islamic Jihad, Iran’s Hezbollah and the Palestinian Hamas,” Ijaz writes in today’s edition of the liberal Los Angeles Times.

These networks included the two hijackers who piloted jetliners into the World Trade Center.

But Clinton and National Security Adviser Samuel “Sandy” Berger failed to act.

”I know because I negotiated more than one of the opportunities,” Ijaz writes.

”The silence of the Clinton administration in responding to these offers was deafening.”

….Ijaz’s account in the Times reads like a spy novel. Sudan’s Bashir, fearing the rise of bin Laden, sent intelligence officials to the U.S. in February 1996. They offered to arrest bin Laden and extradite him to Saudi Arabia or to keep close watch over him. The Saudis “didn’t want their home-grown terrorist back where he might plot to overthrow them.”

”In May 1996, the Sudanese capitulated to U.S. pressure and asked bin Laden to leave, despite their feeling that he could be monitored better in Sudan than elsewhere.”

That’s when bin Laden went to Afghanistan, along with “Ayman Zawahiri, considered by the U.S. to be the chief planner of the Sept. 11 attacks; Mamdouh Mahmud Salim, who traveled frequently to Germany to obtain electronic equipment for al-Qaeda; Wadih El-Hage, Bin Laden’s personal secretary and roving emissary, now serving a life sentence in the U.S. for his role in the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Tanzania and Kenya; and Fazul Abdullah Mohammed and Saif Adel, also accused of carrying out the embassy attacks.”

The Clinton administration repeatedly rejected crucial information that Sudan had gathered on these terrorists, Ijaz says.

In July 2000, just three months before the deadly attack on the destroyer USS Cole in Yemen, Ijaz “brought the White House another plausible offer to deal with bin Laden, by then known to be involved in the embassy bombings. A senior counter-terrorism official from one of the United States’ closest Arab allies – an ally whose name I am not free to divulge – approached me with the proposal after telling me he was fed up with the antics and arrogance of U.S. counter-terrorism officials.”

This offer would have brought bin Laden to that Arab country and eventually to the U.S. All the proposal required of Clinton was that he make a state visit to request extradition.

“But senior Clinton officials sabotaged the offer, letting it get caught up in internal politics within the ruling family – Clintonian diplomacy at its best.”

Revealed: Osama bin Laden’s plot to kill Obama and make “totally unprepared” Biden President

American media hardest hit?
David Ignatius got an advance look at intel captured during the commando mission that killed Osama bin Laden showing that the al-Qaeda leader continued to plot terrorist attacks even from his hide-in-plain-sight bunker in Abbottabad, Pakistan.  The communications from bin Laden, which will shortly be declassified and published in both English and

The Obama Exploitation Post

Yes, I know some of you are waiting to see if I will post about a little something that I more or less told you was going to happen in early May. Here’s a hint: “We don’t need to spike the football.” Oh yes, I’ll be getting to that gem in just a little bit. But first, I must visit the dentist. Stay tuned!

Obama & Osama hit the campaign trail

The Hypocrite-in-Chief will do anything to get reelected, sell his wife and kids? I wouldn’t put it past him. Use Osama Bin Laden as a prop in his carnival sideshow? Oh yeah, we’ve already established that in a post last week.

How about spiking the football one more time and adding an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in the mix for excessive end zone celebration and taunting, to use his football analogies, by campaigning with the ghost of Osama Bin Laden.

Hey! Remember this?:

Mr. Obama said that “we don’t need to spike the football.” He said that “given the graphic nature of these photos it would create a national security risk.”

Now that’s complete hypocrisy because he is “spiking the football.” Matter of fact, by using Binny’s demise as a campaign prop, he’s creating a “national security risk,” not to mention making himself a larger than life target for the enemy by rubbing AQ’s nose in it. Oops!

“We don’t trot out this stuff as trophies.”

Oddly enough, that’s exactly what he’s doing. Hypocrisy and the left, they do it so often it just comes naturally, they don’t even know they are doing it. Part of that mental illness every one of them suffers from.

Binny lives!

I’m beginning to wonder if this whole Binny is dead routine is just another great big hoax along the same lines as climate change. Oh, I know, there will be many that say he’s dead and will mock and ridicule me for thinking he’s not dead at all. In which case I would of course be obligated to ask for proof. You can’t just say something as fact and present nothing to back up those claims. We’re supposed to take the governments word on this? Surely you jest. This government and this president, whose every other word is a lie, until now? I don’t think so. Show us the proof otherwise we can only come to the logical conclusion that we were lied to again, and Bin Laden lives on.

You know. I’m the fastest man in the world. I can burn up 200 meters in less than 10 seconds. I’m not going to show you any proof of that, you’ll just have to take my word.

There is another likely scenario. Right before next years election, the photo will somehow or another be “leaked.” Gee. I wonder who and what party would be that devious?

So, we have to go by facts, just like a jury would. That means we must assume Bin Laden is alive as we have no proof to the contrary. And that’s the way it is.

It’s time to end the NFL career of Rashard Mendenhall

If you’re a big ‘ol defensive lineman, an end or a linebacker, go for Mendenhall’s knee’s, take the fine and blast him in the helmet, take him out of the game and end his career. Even if it’s a cheap shot. He needs to go.

9/11 doesn’t mean anything to that dumbass moron with the IQ of Forrest Gump. If I were lining up on the other side Sunday afternoon or Monday night, it would be my mission to hurt him and finish his career, period. I certainly hope every team that plays against him tries like hell to take him out, and hurt him real bad.

Now why would I be so down on an NFL player, and a good one that is some misguided “yute’s” hero? So glad you asked. Did you see what he tweeted on his Twitter account? No? Well, here ya go… take a look.
