It is hard to tell who is more upset with the death of OBL -- the GOP or Al Qaeda. We had John Yoo writing in the Wall Street Journal lamenting the death of the man who killed over 3,000 Americans.
Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh are all aghast that one with African blood could achieve what a hero of the Texas Air National Guard failed to achieve in 8 years.
Even lesser fry in the GOP heartland, the Charleston Daily Mail bemoans that "Obama Lied and Osama Died". Obama Lied
Like Al Qaeda, the GOP commentariat (The Moonie Times, the National Review, Andrew Card) all are warning that President Obama is gloating over the death of a terrorist and taking victory laps which he will regret.
Also, like Al Qaeda the GOP wants the focus on torturing the chaffeurs, messengers, and other water carriers. That OBL was hiding in a military cantonment in Pakistan (funded by the US taxpayer) should be ignored. The GOP and Al Qaeda are in agreement, we should not be asking the Pakistani Government any hard questions.
Actually, the GOP and Al Qaeda share many of the same views: religious intolerance, cowardice, attacking civilians, leadership that hides in mansions, destorying the US economy, and a fondness of burdneing the American taxpayer with trillions in debt
Maybe, the GOP should consider an American Taliban to run on the ticket with Sarah Palin next year.
