It’s a terribly sore point for the republicans that Obama didn’t ease on the war on terror and even managed in 2 years what Bush couldn’t in 7.

Obama didn’t do anything. It was military.

Gosh, you’re not saying he said “go get him” because of his polling are you? Well, that would be a surprise.

ps, if you read the whole thing, the Navy SEAL even brings up Obama playing golf during the mission –

Yet reliable sources continue to report that not only did you attempt to stop or delay Bin Laden’s demise, you did not even leave the golf course for the situation room until 20 minutes before SEAL Team 6 took out Osama Bin Laden. Even the clothes you wore in the situation room betray this fact. This is a Commander in Chief? A man who takes credit for actions largely taken while he was out golfing?

Yup, Obama had to be called off the golf course into the situation room to be informed the mission was going down. He didn’t even know about it. Panetta and Clinton allegedly went over his head, because he couldn’t make the decision to go. Valarie Jarrett kept on arguing not to go get Bin Laden, and O couldn’t make up his mind for months.

So it wasn’t Obama who made the decision anyway. It was Panetta and Hillary Clinton.

Hope of what exactly? The lazy lying thieving bludger had hope too. And it turned out just like he wanted.

But no, I jest (but only in the first sentence). Milkymuggins doesn’t strike me as the sort of rum cove who would want to sit on his arse on the bludge all day; unlike the lazy lying thieving bludging little prick.

Good luck with the job-hunting Milky and I hope you hook up with something that connects you to the real world.

mm, then how about this, that backs it up –

Today, Time magazine got hold of a memo written by then-CIA head Leon Panetta after he received orders from Barack Obama’s team to greenlight the bin Laden mission. Here’s the text, which summarized the situation:

Received phone call from Tom Donilon who stated that the President made a decision with regard to AC1 [Abbottabad Compound 1]. The decision is to proceed with the assault.

The timing, operational decision making and control are in Admiral McRaven’s hands. The approval is provided on the risk profile presented to the President. Any additional risks are to be brought back to the President for his consideration. The direction is to go in and get bin Laden and if he is not there, to get out. Those instructions were conveyed to Admiral McRaven at approximately 10:45 am.

This, of course, was the famed “gutsy call.” Here’s what Tom Hanks narrated in Obama’s campaign film, “The Road We’ve Traveled”:

HANKS: Intelligence reports locating Osama Bin Laden were promising, but inconclusive, and there was internal debate as to what the President should do.
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: We sat down in the Situation Room, the entire national security apparatus was in that room, and the President turns to every principal in the room, every secretary, “What do you recommend I do?” And they say, “Well, forty-nine percent chance he’s there, fifty-one … it’s a close call, Mr. President.” As he walked out the room, it dawned on me, he’s all alone. This is his decision. If he was wrong, his Presidency was done. Over.

Only the memo doesn’t show a gutsy call. It doesn’t show a president willing to take the blame for a mission gone wrong. It shows a CYA maneuver by the White House.
The memo puts all control in the hands of Admiral McRaven – the “timing, operational decision making and control” are all up to McRaven. So the notion that Obama and his team were walking through every stage of the operation is incorrect. The hero here was McRaven, not Obama. And had the mission gone wrong, McRaven surely would have been thrown under the bus.

Griff,

I don’t understand what I’m supposed to conclude from that link. It’s was a witty billboard I know, but doesn’t deal with the evidence I asked about.
You said “As the evidence for climate change continues to pile up, and as the frequency of severe weather events continues to sky-rocket…”

Where is this new evidence?

“…the NOAA US Climate Extremes Index shows over the 50 years 1910-1960 there were 22 years with weather extremes that exceeded the mean, compared to 20 years that exceeded the mean over the following 50 years 1960-2010. The 9 year smoothed data was higher in 1911 than 2010, back when CO2 was “safe.” Reporting of weather events has greatly improved since the early 1900’s and therefore the index may underestimate the number of extreme events before the modern age.”

http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.co.nz/2012/05/noaa-data-shows-extreme-weather-was-as.html

So, extreme weather events, in the States at least, have declined in recent years.

That depends entirely upon who you take any notice of. You can’t go wrong with me; but you’ll note that Johnboy has already excluded himself. You may recall that he was lusting after the mad waterwoman. Personally, I found that very distressing and not, I should emphasise, because of any self-interest.

A bloke walking down a country road in England, tired
and hungry, came to a roadside Inn with a sign reading:
“George and the Dragon.”
He knocked.
The Innkeeper’s wife stuck her head out a window.
“Could ye spare some food?”, asked.
The woman glanced at his shabby clothes and obviously poor
condition. “No!” she said rather sternly.
“Could I have a pint of ale?”
“No!” she said again.
“Could I at least sleep in your stable?”
“No!” By this time she was shouting.
asked, “Might I please…?”
“What now?” the woman interrupted impatiently.
“D’ye suppose,” he asked, “I might have a word
with George.”

You are in the middle of some kind of project around the house; mowing the lawn, putting in a new fence, painting the living room or whatever.

You are hot and sweaty, covered in dust, lawn clippings, dirt or paint.

You have your old work clothes on.

You know the outfit — shorts with the hole in the crotch, old T-shirt with a stain from who-knows-what and an old pair of tennis shoes.

Right in the middle of this great home improvement project you realize you need to run to the Hardware Store to get something to help complete the job.

Depending on your age you might do the following:

In your 20’s:

Stop what you are doing. Shave, take a shower, blow dry your hair, brush your teeth, floss and put on clean clothes.

Check yourself in the mirror and flex.

Add a dab of your favorite cologne because you never know, you just might meet some hot chick while standing in the checkout lane. And you went to school with the pretty girl running the register.

In your 30’s:

Stop what you are doing, put on clean shorts and shirt. Change shoes.

You married the hot chick so no need for much else. Wash your hands and comb your hair.

Check yourself in the mirror. Still got it. Add a shot of your favorite cologne to cover the smell.

The cute girl running the register is the kid sister to someone you went to school with.

In your 40’s:

Stop what you are doing. Put on a sweatshirt that is long enough to cover the hole in the crotch of your shorts.

Put on different shoes and a hat. Wash your hands.

Your bottle of Brute Cologne is almost empty so you don’t want to waste any of it on a trip to the Hardware Store.

Check yourself in the mirror and do more sucking in than flexing.

The hot young thing running the register is your daughter’s age and you feel weird thinking she is spicy.

In your 50’s:

Stop what you are doing. Put on a hat; wipe the dirt off your hands onto your shirt.

Change shoes because you don’t want to get dog crap in your new sports car.

Check yourself in the mirror and you swear not to wear that shirt anymore because it makes you look fat.

The Cutie running the register smiles when she sees you coming and you think you still have it.

Then you remember the hat you have on is from Bubba’s Bait & Beer Bar and it says, ‘I Got Worms.’

In your 60’s:

Stop what you are doing. No need for a hat anymore.

Hose the dog crap off your shoes. The mirror was shattered when you were in your 50’s.

You hope you have underwear on so nothing hangs out the hole in your pants.

The girl running the register may be cute, but you don’t have your glasses on so you are not sure.

In your 70’s:

Stop what you are doing. Wait to go to the Hardware Store until the pharmacy has your prescriptions ready, too.

Don’t even notice the dog crap on your shoes.

The young thing at the register stares at you and you realize your balls are hanging out the hole in your crotch.

In your 80’s:

Stop what you are doing. Start again. Then stop again.

Now you remember you need to go to the Hardware Store.

Go to K Mart instead and wander around trying to think what it is you are looking for.

Fart out loud and you think someone called out your name.

You went to school with the old lady who greeted you at the front door.

In your 90’s & beyond:

What’s a home deep hoe? Something for my garden?

Where am I? Who am I? Why am I reading this?

Did I send it? Did you? Who farted?

Paddy & Mick find three hand grenades, so they take them to a police station.
Mick: “What if one explodes before we get there?”
Paddy: “We’ll lie and say we only found two.”

Joe says to Paddy: “Close your curtains the next time you’re having sex wij your wife. The whole street was watching and laughing at you yesterday.”
Paddy says, “Well the jokes on them, cos’ I wasn’t even at home yesterday!”

Paddy says to Mick – “I’m ready for a holiday, only this year I’m going to do it a bit different.
Three years ago I went to Spain and Mary got pregnant.
Two years ago I went to Italy and Mary got pregnant.
Last year I went to Majorca and Mary got pregnant.”
Mick asks – “So what are you going to do this year?”.
Paddy replies, – “I’ll take her with me!”

Paddy says to Mick, “Christmas is on a Friday this year”.
Mick says “Let’s hope it’s not the 13th.”

Paddy’s in the bathroom and Murphy shouts to him. “Did you find the shampoo?”
Paddy says, “yes, but it’s for dry hair and I’ve just wet mine.”

‘An extraordinarily handsome man decided he had the responsibility to marry the perfect woman so they could produce beautiful children beyond compare.

With that as his mission he began searching for the perfect woman.

Shortly there after he met a farmer who had three stunning, gorgeous daughters that positively took his breath away.

So he explained his mission to the farmer, asking for permission to marry one of them.

The farmer simply replied, ‘They’re lookin’ to get married,so you came to the right place. Look ’em over and pick the one you want.’

The man dated the first daughter.
The next day the farmer asked for the man’s opinion.

‘Well,’ said the man, ‘she’s just a weeeeee bit, not that you can hardly notice…pigeon-toed.’

The farmer nodded and suggested the man date one of the other girls; so the man went out with the second daughter.

The next day, the farmer again asked how things went.

‘Well,’the man replied, ‘she’s just a weeeeee bit, not that you can hardly tell…cross-eyed.’

The farmer nodded and suggested he date the third girl to see if things might be better. So he did.

The next morning the man rushed in exclaiming,’She’s perfect, just perfect. She’s the one I want to marry’

So they were wed right away .Months later the baby was born.
When the man visited the nursery he was horrified: the baby was the ugliest, most pathetic human you can imagine. He rushed to his father-in-law asking how such a thing could happen considering the beauty of the parents..

‘Well,’ explained the farmer, ‘She was just a weeeeee bit, not that you could hardly tell…
Pregnant when you met her.’

A young, very attractive Swedish girl was massaging Jeff’s
shoulders, then his chest, and gradually worked her way down his
torso.

Jeff was getting sexually excited as the masseur approached the
towel. The towel began to lift and the Swedish girl arched her
eyebrows.

“You wanna wank?” she asked.

“You bet,” came the excited reply.

“O.K.,” she said, “I come back in ten minutes.”

You think that interbreeding is bad in the cities…..the eastern Wairarapa has about 150Km of coastline which was settled (from the sea) way back in the 1850’s.

Until about twenty years ago all the station owners shared about half a dozen surnames. Some reckon the kids had webbing between their toes like ducks & their eyes looked at each other.

facts are facts

Yes they certainly are and anyone who doesn’t understand the fact the ‘war on terror’ is precisely similar to the ‘war on drugs’ in that they’re both made-up bullshit would have to be quite deluded wouldn’t one.

I mean, the US has been ruled by despots since Reagan was shot. Bush 41 took over then and he and only he, was behind Iran-Contra. Then it was Clinton. Then Bush 43. Now Obama. Who conveniently continues precisely the same policies which have been diving America into the ground, since that time. Why is that? A thinking man would ask, but not apparently, you, eszett.

Let’s see – few sentences, big picture, lots of detail omitted: Bush 41 sets up the ME oil supply. Clinton starts the offshoring of the manufacturing base. Bush 43 continues it then bumbles through 911 and thank fuck the economy does well what with all the deregulation then Obama gets in with more Wall Streeters than any pres in history and lo, a big massive bailout.

Nah, that’s just politics isn’t it. Of course it is, of course the entire US senate and congress stood by for three full decades while the executive raped America, decimated the constitution, and they didn’t even notice.

For that’s what’s happened. So since that’s what HAS happened, what’s your explanation, eszett?

Especially for what Clinton and Obama has done. Since they’re apparently, your heroes.

BTW, I ask the same of conservative supporters re: the two Bushes.

But would be good to know your respective explanations. Since this IS what HAS happened, isn’t it. Yes, it is. We can all see it. So what’s the answer?

The nuclear link was interesting. As usual the best advice to those seeking truth is to follow the money. The corrupt corporates will easily buy off the gutless Obama administration reckoning it to be a bargain compared with the cost of ensuring safety at these old reactor sites.

Regardless, the stance of the Japanese authorities beggars the imagination. You would tend to think that the potential loss of an entire nation would be enough to galvanise them into some sort of action. Usually enough money can solve any problem & Japan is hardly a nation of paupers.

For the sake of buying the lifting apparatus to move the spent fuel to safe containment, along with some competent advice they would risk their homeland.

You’ve heard about the guy who walks into an upmarket Christchurch restaurant?
The waiter comes up to him and politely asks:
“Hello Sir. What would you like?”
“Can I please have the spit-roasted lamb?”
“Very good sir. Now how would you like the lamb to be cooked?”

In some ways I regret not understanding the subtleties behind your jokes Johnboy and nasska and in other possibly curious ways, I don’t.

The world is an oyster of such amazing wonderment it’s just unbelievable sometimes, to me.

Our sense of humour is somewhat like an oyster wrapped in an egg shell, inside a riddle, wrapped in a mystery contained in an enigma. LJ.

A bit like your faith really! 🙂

Then again its so cool to have imput from such an intrepid voyager such as the brown arsed,
now dyed blue arsed pollywog. Sailing the Pacific , trying to prove sum sing.
You remenber the arrogant fellow that suggested everyone should kiss his tatooed arse just a few weeks ago.

Back from his much heralded voyage of discovery with his crew of fellow retards.

And what great truths has this moron brought back (if indeed he actually did go anywhere)

Well check out his report from the pacifica.

First report filed today @ 1.49

Well done pollywog, must have been a great voyage.

no..john-yob…yr sense of humour is infantile/sophmorish..low-rent pommy nudge-nudge/wink-wink pier-humour..

..most probably another manifestation of that constant alcohol use all of yr life..stunting any maturity/growing-up..

..yr sense of humour couldn’t be further from an enigma..

Who pulled the monkeys chain ?

Surely he should have drifted off into his drug addled nirvana by now.

Please don’t wake him again.
He has to be up early as usual, down to the library, surfing the web.
Posting crap he noticed.
Working hard.
Being a role model for his “nipper.”

Without referring to Google, which city in the world do you think has the highest crime rate on a per capita basis?

Interesting. I’d imagine they’d have the highest tourist:capita rate as well. Or perhaps it’s a data manipulation ploy to drive confessional business 🙂

Love some of the comments, suggesting other words that need to be banned:

– black ice
– Blackpool
– The White Cliffs of Dover
– Blackberry
– Whitewash
– Colour TV
– Black & White photography
– Will they take their concerns to Whitehall?
– In America you could appeal all the way to The White House
– Hope nobody has the surname “Black” or “White”

And someone even suggested renaming “Beefeaters” to “Carrotconsumers” so we don’t offend the Vegans …

Further to this – I have a friend who is Jamaican, and grew up in England. At one point he was in the Police Force there. Funny thing is, his surname is “White” … His nickname, of course, was Chalky
