As for being pissed that his body was disposed of within 24 hours because it adhered to Muslim standards...

that is not the message we want to send. This is taking care of business. Anything more flagrant would be no better than Al Queda themselves. And we're an actual country, not a terrorist organization.

Well, it seems that the Muslim community isn't happy with Barry's interpretation of Muslim standards either...

Muslim clerics said Monday that Osama bin Laden's burial at sea was a violation of Islamic tradition that may further provoke militant calls for revenge attacks against American targets.

Bacon may have been a better idea afterall.

Coming from a Leftist paper...

Umm, Andrew Malcolm was the press secretary for Republican Governor Marc Racicot, and was deputy communications manager for the Bush presidential campaign.

But regardless of who is complaining about Obama's speech, I still don't see it, aside from a couple of sentences. For the majority of the speech, he focused on "America" and "we," and explicitly gave praise to the military forces for their success, not his own. Again, not a perfect speech, but everyone is overreacting as if he just jerked off to his own photograph on stage or something.

That is so stupid...everyone knows he does that off-stage.

It doesn't matter what you think....

And besides that, you're wrong.

I will give Barry props for calling President Bush to let him know. But he called Clinton too, so that is kind of a wash - and kind of unnecessary since you know Hillary had already told him...

I don't like Obama, but I'm also not one of the ones that always looks for something negative in anything he says, or anything like that. However, I also did not appreciate his tone for some of the speech. I didn't like how much he involved his actions in the speech, and how it seemed like the mentioning of our armed forces was but a footnote to the success of the mission. Yes, we know that as Commander in Chief, you made some decisions to make this happen. That's something that is understood that goes without saying. So let our armed forces have this one.

Politicians-
Mission goes bad- There were mistakes that were made. I will find out where.
Mission goes good- I made Decisions

Well, harumph, harumph, harumph... I really don't see where everyone is overreacting. I mean, aside from a couple of sentences, you gurlz are whining louder in here than what I'm hearing and reading elsewhere. Again, congratulations to the President for continuing most of GWB's policies in the War on Terror.

On a smaller scale, take our fire department for example.

In any leadership/incident command/fire officer type classes you take, they teach you alot of things. One of the things they teach you is basically, the art of mind fucking.

..insert movie quotes here..

Anyway, one of the things they teach you is to never take credit for shit. Especially in front of your people. And if the situation is unavoidable, you reflect as much of that back on your people no matter what. Even if they didn't do shit. Your people were the ones that made this accomplishment happen, not you. You avoid using "I" as much as possible, and pour on the "us" and "we". Using this approach with your people builds rapport in their minds, and it makes them more eager to work for you. It makes them want to follow you.

Like I said, the only two issues I really had with his speech was the way he seemingly patted his own back for half of the speech, and made our armed forces a footnote, or afterthought. We know you made some decisions. You're the Commander in Chief. We get it. No reason to tout that when you could just as easily say "Intelligence was presented to us in August, and through due diligence, that intelligence gave us the opportunity to find OBL, and carry out a successful mission today."
