During his 60 Minutes interview with CBS News last night, Barack Obama admitted that US intelligence was only 55/45 confident that Bin Laden was even in the compound raided last Sunday night, fearing that the occupant could actually have been a “prince from Dubai,” a skepticism shared by residents of Abbottabad, one of whom told the BBC that the man seen watching television in the tapes released by the White House Saturday was in fact his neighbor, not Bin Laden. The relevant comments are made after the 10 minute mark. “Obviously, we’re going into the sovereign territory of another country and landing helicopters and conducting a military operation. And so if it turns ...

NEW YORK (PIX11)— As 50 carefully selected families prepare to join President Barack Obama for a ceremony at the World Trade Center site Thursday, one of the invited 9/11 families have decided to pass on the Commander-in-chief's visit. Although many consider it to be a once in a lifetime invitation, the Vigiano family of Deer Park, Long Island have respectfully declined. "If this form letter was the invitation, it was kinda lame," John Vigiano told PIX 11 News when describing the email invitation sent to him from the White House. Jan and John Vigiano received the email invite Tuesday and admitted that they nearly deleted it, thinking it was spam. The private invitation ...

Follow the link, watch the video. Yesterday, our resident ideology based liberal kooks claimed Rumsfeld said 'enhanced interrogation' didn't produce valuable information in the war on terror, specifically leading to the killing of bin Laden. Rumsfeld last night on live television totally eviscerated that bullshit. Moral of the story: If you rely on Soro's funded political spin outlets, you look ridiculous at best, a total dumbass or worse. Enjoy that crow, GO65 and company. I suggest washing in down with a tall glass of Shut the Fuck Up. (grin)

Three Republican senators who claimed to have seen images of Osama bin Laden after he was killed may have been duped. Republican Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts said Wednesday that he had been fooled by a fake photograph ostensibly showing an image of bin Laden post-mortem. "I have seen the pictures. I've received the briefings. I've spoken to the operational leaders and I can tell you for a fact that he is dead," Brown said in an interview with WBZ Wednesday morning. He repeated that point to other news outlets as part of his argument that the images should not be released. "Listen, I've seen the picture," he told Fox-25 TV, according to the Boston ...

updated 5/3/2011 8:51:07 PM ET 2011-05-04T00:51:07 WASHINGTON — Intelligence garnered from waterboarded detainees was used to track down al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and kill him, CIA Chief Leon Panetta told NBC News on Tuesday. "Enhanced interrogation techniques" were used to extract information that led to the mission's success, Panetta said during an interview with anchor Brian Williams. Those techniques included waterboarding, he acknowledged. Panetta, who in a 2009 CIA confirmation hearing declared "waterboarding is torture and it's wrong," said Tuesday that debate about its use will continue. Click for Full Text!

VIDEO - An imam from the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem vowed to take revenge over "the western dogs" for killing Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan on Sunday. In a Youtube video uploaded by the imam he said: "The western dogs are rejoicing after killing one of our Islamic lions. From Al-Aqsa Mosque, where the future caliphate will originate with the help of God, we say to them – the dogs will not rejoice too much for killing the lions. The dogs will remain dogs and the lion, even if he is dead, will remain a lion." The imam then verbally attacked US President Barack Obama saying: "You personally instructed to kill Muslims.

(CNSNews.com) – The months leading up to the U.S. military’s daring and successful raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan were also the deadliest winter and early spring months for U.S. forces in Afghanistan since the beginning of the war in that country. With 46 U.S. military personnel killed in Afghanistan in April, U.S. military fatalities in that country are currently on a pace to make 2011 the deadliest year of the war. However, as of now, Presdent Barack Obama is expected to begin drawing down the number of U.S. troops deployed in the country in July. Up until this year, January-April 2010 (with 106 U.S. military fatalities) was the deadliest January-April ...

Congressman Outraged That 3 Convicts in Terror-Related Cases Were Granted U.S. Citizenship (CNSNews.com) – The granting of U.S. citizenship to three individuals who were convicted as a result of a terrorism-related investigation was “outrageous,” Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), chairman of the House Judiciary immigration policy and enforcement subcommittee, told CNSNews.com. King was commenting on a key finding in a recently-released Government Accountability Office (GAO) report (PDF, 6.7 MB) on criminal aliens, which he had requested. The report showed that the three people were among “defendants where the investigation involved an identified link to international ...

TSA lax on bombed 'bin Laden' "My name is bin Laden, and I have a bomb in my bag." A Yonkers man with a thin build and gray beard uttered those ominous words to an Air France ticket agent at JFK Airport on Friday night – but it took dawdling security screeners 40 minutes before they finally called cops, furious law enforcement sources told The Post on Tuesday. By then, the luggage belonging to boozed-up suspect Christian Boncorps, 61, was already aboard a Paris-bound jet that he had planned to get on, the sources said. The incident began around 10:20 p.m. when Boncorps showed up drunk at the Air France ticket counter to get his boarding pass, sources said. ...

Osama bin Laden raid yields trove of computer data The assault force of Navy SEALs snatched a trove of computer drives and disks during their weekend raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound, yielding what a U.S. official called “the mother lode of intelligence.” The special operations forces grabbed personal computers, thumb drives and electronic equipment during the lightning raid that killed bin Laden, officials told POLITICO. “They cleaned it out,” one official said. “Can you imagine what’s on Osama bin Laden’s hard drive?” U.S. officials are about to find out. The material is being examined at a secret location in Afghanistan. “Hundreds ...

Libya Says Qaddafi's Son Killed in NATO Airstrikea TRIPOLI, Libya -- Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi survived a NATO missile strike Saturday that killed his youngest son and three grandchildren and wounded friends and relatives, Libya's spokesman said. Qaddafi and his wife were in the Tripoli house of his 29-year-old son, Saif al-Arab Qaddafi, when it was hit by at least one missile fired by a NATO warplane, according to Libyan spokesman Moussa Ibrahim. "The leader himself is in good health," Ibrahim said. "He was not harmed. The wife is also in good health." "The attack resulted in the martyrdom of brother Saif al-Arab Qaddafi, 29 years old, and three ...

BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) - U.S. Sen. John McCain called for increased military support for Libya's rebels Friday, including weapons, training and stepped-up airstrikes, in a full-throated endorsement of the opposition in its fight to oust Moammar Gadhafi. In the Libyan capital, meanwhile, a senior official said government troops would step back and allow local armed tribesmen to deal with rebels in the besieged city of Misrata. The action came a day after the U.S. began flying armed drones to bolster NATO airstrikes, and having the tribesmen take up the fight could make it harder for the Predators to distinguish them from Misrata's civilians or the rebels. McCain, the top Republican ...

But he said there would be no further information about the target or where the strike occurred. "Per common practice we are not providing any details," the spokesman added.

Have the U.S. and NATO given up on Libya mess? While Washington has been consumed by the battle of the budget, the people running the real war in Libya seem to have given up hope of using American and NATO firepower to drive Moammar Gadhafi from power. "There is no military solution to this conflict," NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said this week. "We need a political solution, and it's up to the Libyan people to come up with one." "There will not be a military solution to the problem," said French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe. "We will not see a military solution in Libya," said German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle.

Pentagon spokesman Col. Dave Lapan said the jets were assigned to NATO and are operating under NATO command.

CBS News National Security correspondent David Martin reported the missions, announced in an oh-by-the-way fashion by the Pentagon, have involved a handful of F-16s that ...

Several Taliban detainees who had been captured in February after being observed placing bombs in the culverts of roads used by civilians and military convoys near Kandahar were fed, given medical treatment, then released by American troops frustrated by a policy they say is forcing them to kick loose enemies who are trying to kill them. Despite what American soldiers say was a mountain of evidence, which included a video of the men planting the bomb and chemical traces found on their hands, there was nothing the soldiers who had captured them could do but feed and care for them for 96 hours and then set them free. In another incident, members of a unit attached to 2nd Stryker Cavalry ...

WASHINGTON – The military is investigating what appears to be the first case of American troops killed by a missile fired from a U.S. drone. The investigation is looking into the deaths of a Marine and a Navy medic killed by a Hellfire missile fired from a Predator after they apparently were mistaken for insurgents in southern Afghanistan last week, two senior U.S. defense officials said Tuesday. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. Unmanned aircraft have proven to be powerful weapons in Afghanistan and Iraq and their use have expanded to new areas and operations each year of those conflicts. Some drones are used for surveillance and ...

With the news that President Obama is officially running for re-election in 2012, we thought it would be interesting to take a look at where some of candidate Barack Obama's 2008 campaign trail promises stand today. The president has said he keeps a check list of promises he made during the campaign in his pocket. Last fall Mr. Obama told "Rolling Stone" he figured his administration had "probably accomplished 70 percent of the things that we said we were going to do." The watchdog organization Politifact.com* has been keeping track and puts candidate Obama's list of promises at a staggering 506, of those they say the president has kept 122, or 24 percent. ...

An Army investigation finds no “causal relationship” between Col. Harry D.

Paul Ryan Is Right About the Budget -- Americans Cannot Afford Another Decade of Massive Government Spending

Paul Ryan Is Right About the Budget -- Americans Cannot Afford Another Decade of Massive Government Spending By John Lott Published April 05, 2011 The deficit is a spending problem. That's the simple truth. If federal government spending after President Clinton's last budget had simply grown fast enough to keep up with inflation and the growth in population, the 2012 budget would be running over a $70 billion surplus. Instead, federal expenditures more than doubled from $1.86 to $3.82 trillion in the ten years from 2001 to 2011, causing this year’s enormous $1.65 trillion deficit. During President Obama's first three years in office the government's deficits are ...

We were told during the 2008 presidential election that the Bush Administration’s policy of military tribunals was anti-American and contrary to our ideals. The reason that the Bush Administration was using them was because they simply didn’t care about civil rights. So the Obama Administration came into office and boldly declared that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and presumably others would be tried in civilian courts. Attorney General Eric Holder 17 months ago heralded the new trial system that would bring the terrorists “to justice.” And the American Civil Liberties Union hailed it as “an enormous victory for the rule of law.” Oops. Today Holder announced that ...
