3. Mechanical trouble



After an OBL guard shot it up from one of the buildings' roof, as per a report on CNN earlier this afternoon (Wolfie, I think).

Al Jazeera last night said the retreating raiders had destroyed it.

2. I don't know but I bet Obama and all were having...
a sickening deja vu moment with Jimmy Carter and 1979.

7. Fortune favors the bold they say.
But not always. Carter definitely needed it. A damn shame.

8. A Carter moment
if the mission had filed and the Seals were captured by Pakistanis as criminals, the Democratic party as we know it would be over.
