BigSqwert Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 While Obama was addressing the nation last night, Donald Trump was hosting a cat-fight between NeNe and Starr Jones, voting off some chick named Hope, and making an "historic" decision to bring back LaToya Jackson. via Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 A Hamilton College class and their public policy professor analyzed the predicts of 26 pundits — including Sunday morning TV talkers — and used a scale of 1 to 5 to rate their accuracy. After Paul Krugman, the most accurate pundits were Maureen Dowd, former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “The Bad” list includes Thomas Friedman, Clarence Page, and Bob Herbert. Hehe. Want to be right on stuff? Be a liberal and avoid law school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Trump said he wants to call a truce and stop the partisan bickering. That is funny as hell, the "bickering" was going one way and Obama was ignoring him. Finally Obama responds and it's a nasty combo of b**** slaps that stung (ending in him roasting Trump while an operation was underway to kill Osama bin Laden, and the announcement pre-empts his show the following day). Trump cries uncle at first contact like his name was Cedric Benson. Lesson learned? Stay in your lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its either that or they are worst f***ing spy agency on the planet. I mean worse than Spy vs Spy who always let the other guy blow him up. If that is the case, they need to shutdown and return the tax money that is funding them, because they are a complete fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I'm not sure which is worse. They've been ADAMANTLY denying bin Laden was in their country for YEARS and then, hey! There he is. Oh s***!

He was hiding in a town of like a million and a half people, close to their military training center. He wasn't even on a mountian or in a cave where you can play dumb. He was essentially hanging out in a mansion in the equivalent of downtown Indianapolis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I think that there are people in the Pakastani govt who may have worked with Osama. But im not sure the entire govt is to blame. If the facts are true, Osama never left the compound, he never used the phone, he never used computers. Also all of our US intelligence was saying that he was hiding in a secluded location. He just wasnt doing anything to raise suspicion and hiding in a town of half a million was the exact reason we didnt find him quicker, we just werent looking there.

The planners of this gave it a 60-80% chance that he was there on the day of the mission. They didn't KNOW anything. They suspected that someone important was there, and they guessed it was him, and only since last August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They suspected that someone important was there, and they guessed it was him, and only since last August. Yeah, there was a huge risk in being wrong about that. The CIA went and had the evidence reviewed again by an independent team who also agreed with the ~80% likelihood, so they went ahead with the mission.

They suspected that someone important was there, and they guessed it was him, and only since last August. So we had gathered all this evidence and tracked a courier there, and we only were 80% certain. That doesn't prove any point about why the pakistanis should have known. I'm not saying they didn't. But I'm not so sure they were so obviously hiding that they knew his whereabouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
