#1 Sounds like the Taliban have just named open hunting season on themselves.

#2 I really, really wish Bambi had released the photo of bin Laden rather than the fact that we had all this very interesting information. At least, not until the intel analysts had a chance to go through it and get actionable information. That way, the various people we are finding out about would not have a chance to move to new safe houses and other hiding places. Instead, the first warning that they had been compromised would be a visit from a drone or a SEAL team.

#3 Donk administration puffing out their chests ahead of a re-election campaign. You're surprised? The loss of value in intel is a minor consideration in their minds

#4 Thanking Obama for killing Bin Laden is like going into McDonalds and thanking Ronald McDonald for the hamburger.

It's the guy cooking the burger that should get the credit, not the clown.

I wish I could say I made that up, just now, but it came in an e-mail from my cousin.

#5 Wealthy Arab supporters? Visits from leaders of his al-Qaeda network, Taliban allies and fellow Arab fundraisers.

I hope Binny kept real good records and these guys are looking over their shoulders. Better yet, I would have wished the information had not been released and that we could have tagged these guys. Well, it is re-election time for the ONE isn't it?

"Hello, is this Prince Hadji? Your name came up on a guest list from a certain house in Abbottabad. Ah, yes. They did find it. It is terribly unfortunate, isn't it?

"You know, for a relatively modest monetary donation..."

#7 "You know, for a relatively modest monetary donation..." via foreign credit cards w/ security features turned off. So 2008.
