Obama on the mission to kill Osama bin Laden

One of my proudest possessions is the flag that the SEAL Team took with them on the mission to get bin Laden. On it are each of their names. Some may be Democrats. Some may be Republicans. But that doesn't matter. Just like it didn't matter that day in the Situation Room, when I sat next to Bob Gates – a man who was George Bush's defense secretary; and Hillary Clinton, a woman who ran against me for president. All that mattered that day was the mission. No one thought about politics. No one thought about themselves. One of the young men involved in the raid later told me that he didn't deserve credit for the mission. It only succeeded, he said, because every single member of that unit did their job – the pilot who landed the helicopter that spun out of control; the translator who kept others from entering the compound; the troops who separated the women and children from the fight; the SEALs who charged up the stairs. More than that, the mission only succeeded because every member of that unit trusted each other – because you can't charge up those stairs, into darkness and danger, unless you know that there's someone behind you, watching your back.

Is he for real?

Andrew Adler, the owner of local publication the Atlanta Jewish Times, has apologized after suggesting that assassinating President Barack Obama is an option that should be considered by the Israeli government.


As reported by Gawker, Adler's article, written earlier this month, describes the urgency in protecting the Israeli people from threats such as Hamas and Hezbollah and argues that there are essentially only three options available to Israel: 1. attack Hezbollah and Hamas; 2. "order the destruction of Iran's nuclear facilities at all costs;" 3. assassinate Obama.


From Adler's column, which is not available online, but which Gawker uploaded to the web:

Yo, your girl is moving up! Your girl might win! Deba brings pride to the South Bronx

“I am happy to be here,” Ms. Deba said through a translator. “I want to represent the Bronx, and make it known not just in the U.S., but throughout the world. She is good to her people. She welcomes people from around the world.”
It's been described as one of the poorest places in the United States always something negative is said about the South Bronx, a borough in New York City. But a diminutive marathoner from Ethiopia Buzunesh Deba  that calls the Bronx her home changed the image winning the New York City Marathon  only 4 seconds behind the winner Firehiwot Dado of Kenya last month November 6, 2011.
The Marathon expanded to the five boroughs in 1976, draws 45,000 runners from around the world and over 2 million spectators adding over $340 million of economic activity to the city.
Yesterday, Latino Sports who cheered Deba on her run through the Bronx and Hostos Community College honored her at a luncheon they both sponsored  at the college
“When she ran through the Bronx, I missed her,” (Julio Pabon) he admitted. “Then people watching on TV and in Central Park started calling me. ‘Yo, your girl is moving up! Your girl might win! Wow, she was four seconds behind first place!’ If she had another 10 yards, she could have won.”

Mark Poloncarz new Erie County Executive

A new day for the citizens of Erie County after Mark Poloncarz pounced the incumbent Chris Collins at the polls last night and is the new Erie County Executive.  Folks tired of Collins running Erie County as a business slashing vital social services programs especially for children and cutting and reducing the funding to arts and cultural organizations.  Buffalo might be one of the poorest cities in the nation but folks here love their children, arts, cultural organizations and libraries and the voters turned out in droves to rid themselves of Chris Collins. So change is coming.....it's a new day in Erie County. The Buffalo City Express News  the first on line publication to call this race for Poloncarz.

Terrorist threats in Washington and New York on 9/11 anniversary official disclosed

White House staff watched as Navy Seals kill bin Laden
in Pakistan 5/2/2011

"... Osama bin Laden was killed, he seemed fixated on attacking the United States again on Sept. 11,..." so say law enforcement officials in the Washington Post, PostPolitics blog.  And "In the trove of digital "and handwritten materials found at bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan in May, there were numerous references to the 10-year anniversary of the attacks on New York and Washington."  The CIA and law enforcement officials found material called "inchoate"  "how al-Qaeda might construct a terrorist operation. So that must be why they quickly performed a Muslim burial had thrown his body into the sea. Now all they have is the "inchoate" material because they failed to arrest  bin Laden instead dropped his body  at the bottom of the sea. Meanwhile, nearly 3000 Americans about 236 of them foreigners and over 400 NYC firefighters, police officers and Port Authority officers killed and 18 bodies still missing. Osama bin Laden should have been brought to justice similar to  the Nazis  Nuremberg Trials. It's hard to reconcile a President Obama who taught U.S. A. Constitutional Law with the above photo almost like watching the lynching of an African American instead it's a foreigner...who many believed deserved it, but a trial would have brought out the truth of why one of the greatest tragedies in American history had happened.
