One Unwary Phone Call Led US to Bin Laden Doorstep/ Photos of his compound

ABC News  "When one of Osama bin Laden's most trusted aides picked up the phone last year, he unknowingly led U.S. pursuers to the doorstep of his boss, the world's most wanted terrorist.
"That phone call, recounted Sunday by a U.S. official, ended a years-long search for bin Laden's personal courier, the key break in a worldwide manhunt. The courier, in turn, led U.S. intelligence to a walled compound in northeast Pakistan, where a team of Navy SEALs shot bin Laden to death."

PICTURES: U.S. Photos of the bin Laden Compound "The Pentagon released photos and an illustration showing the compound where U.S. forces found and killed Osama bin Laden as part of its news briefing."

Burial at sea w/ according to Islamic custom  "I would have preferred his body to lie in state on the National Mall for a few days to allow all Americans to come by and spit on the dirty bastard. The we could have had a national bonfire of reconciliation around his flaming a--. I can only hope that the SEALs who killed him washed his body in accordance w/ Pipehitter Union 69's bodily fluids policies."

Did you think to consider THIS fringe benefit from the raid? INTELLIGENCE! "Radical Islamists are going to want to exact revenge … and they know they need to strike quickly. Why quickly? Because they know that our Navy Seals came out of that bin Laden compound in Pakistan with boatloads of intelligence in the form of documents and computers. Al Qaeda operatives around the world know that they may well have been identified and located through the intelligence gathered during the raid. They are all now targets. In fact, my guess is that there are operations going on around the world right now to take these people out. Perhaps they feel that they need to strike while they’re still able." Neal Boortz

Fake; disregard these.

Evidence exists  "The Obama administration has actual photographs of bin Laden's corpse, but officials are still struggling over what to do with them, says ABC News. The White House is weighing the benefits of releasing the photos to combat skepticism around the world about bin Laden's death versus the gruesome nature of the photos. (There are blood and brains visible in the head wound above his left eye.)"

CBS reports on the evidence  "Two sources tell CBS News that one of the women in the compound at the time of the raid was one of bin Laden's wives, who identified him post-mortem. An intelligence official said he was also identified by members of the raid team. The official also said DNA from several bin Laden family members was used to verify bin Laden's identity.
"A U.S. official told NBC News Monday morning that the Pentagon is in possession of a "very, very" graphic photograph of bin Laden's body - and that there is a debate over whether to release it. There is clearly an appetite for such a picture: A photograph of what was purported to be bin Laden's corpse circulated online Sunday night - though it was later revealed to be a fake. "

Osama bin Laden's last haven was a Pakistani military town

DEBKAfile  "Islamabad may decide to go with the Taliban rather than the United States because of its overriding fear of Indian expansion and interest in using Afghanistan to gain strategic depth by means of a controlling influence in Kabul. To this end, Pakistani leaders may throw their support behind the Taliban rather than the Americans who will eventually leave. This would confront the US-led coalition forces fight' in Afghanistan with an escalated military challenge henceforth."

Amanpour Accuses Paul Ryan of 'Reverse Robin Hoodism,' Freeland Urges 'Courage' to Raise Taxes

Media Research Center "Amanpour maintained: “Congressman Ryan is at the center of the storm. It's his plan, of course, that has sparked the outcry. Across the country, the anger is palpable.”
"Instead of adding some light, however, Amanpour fueled the fire by legitimizing left-wing talking points, confronting Ryan: “People who have been studying your numbers very carefully have been saying that the numbers don't add up,” since..."

Victor Davis Hanson: OK, Let’s Decline

“Leading From Behind”  "I remember growing up in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and the sheer amount of wealth creation since then staggers the imagination. I recall my parents taking me in 1962 to a dinner at a judge’s “mansion”: it was a 2000 sq. ft. ranch house in north Fresno — with three, repeat three, bathrooms — an unheard of thing at that time — and a 15-foot kidney shaped swimming pool to boot! The sort of elite home that is solidly now middle class."

Bye-bye, bin Laden. Though you weren't Irish-we presume- we'll toast you at your wake

On Bin Laden’s Death "Though his continued presence damaged President Bush, arguably it damaged al Qaeda more by keeping the organization and its leader in the spotlight.

"The search for bin Laden has sent most of al Qaeda’s skilled troop commanders to hell, Guantanamo, or to scream out their secrets in obscure prisons in obscure countries. Strategic direction over the entire network has not been possible since the fall of Afghanistan.'

Bin Laden now room temperature  "Bin Laden’s elimination vindicates U.S. strategy in the region, started under President George W. Bush, and it will be seen as a major success for the United States, showing the world that America will remain committed to hunting down its enemies as long it takes.
"But while America should take great satisfaction in this tremendous achievement, the United States must remain vigilant against a terrorist threat that is not yet vanquished. Terrorists are trying to attack us both at home and abroad; with 38 terrorist plots foiled since 9/11, these attempts will certainly continue, if not get worse."

 Osama bin Laden killed in U.S. raid, buried at sea  "A U.S. official said bin Laden’s body was quickly transported away from Pakistan and “buried at sea,” in part because the U.S. government did not want an accessible gravesite that could become a shrine to bin Laden’s followers. The official declined to identify which body of water the corpse was taken to, or provide further details on how it was transported or handled.
"The official said the body was buried “in accordance with Islamic tradition,” meaning within 24 hours of bin Laden’s death."

 Muslims' reaction to Osama Bin Laden's death   Harris Zafar's comment :

I hope to see more acceptance, although I don't know if I can expect it. Usama did a LOT to damage the perception of Islam, and people don't really trust Muslims anymore. But groups like al-Qaeda have contributed to that. So as moderate Muslims, we know we have out work cut out for us, which is why we won't stop advocating for a separation of mosque and state, for freedom of religion and speech, and for loyalty to our country. We will still use our Muslims for Peace platform (www.MuslimsForPeace.org) to spread Islam's message."

Amish Milk: The Latest Target of the Obama Regulatory State

Heritage "Milk might do a body good, but if it’s unpasteurized milk sold by an Amish farmer across state lines, it’s a whole other story… or at least according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)."....
 "On top of being costly ($1.4 billion in new spending between 2011 and 2015), the necessity of new regulatory powers is questionable. The motivating force behind FDA regulations — and the reason for the crackdown on Rainbow Acre Farms — is a concern over food-borne illness. Katz says that incidents of such illnesses “have actually been declining for more than a decade, in spite of higher consumption of the raw foods that are most often associated with outbreaks of food-borne illness.”"
I'm from the government and I'm here to help you.

FDA Invades Non-Commercial Amish Farm in PA  "The agents – Schafer did most of the talking – said they had a right to be there because “you produce food for human consumption.” Dan asked why they believed that and they said, “Well, you have cows. You cannot be consuming all the milk you produce.” They further stated, “If you get a milk truck in to move all this milk you sell milk to the public, therefore we have jurisdiction.” "
"Dan said, “This is a private farm, I do not sell anything to the public.” "
