Osama resisted arrest while hiding behind his wife and firing an AK-47 which he didn’t have.

I had a college roommate from Casper, Wyoming who said that the suicide rate was very high there because the wind drove people insane. We are getting a taste of that this year in Colorado.

Last July 4 we had to go to Cheyenne to shoot fireworks, because the Fort Collins police were cracking down on anyone caught enjoying themselves. It was very cold and windy in Wyoming and we left quickly and ended up with a big load of fireworks for next year.

In the middle of the night, people swoop down into your house from helicopters, shoot your mother, capture your father and then shoot him in the head in front of you.

Those 23 children are the spawn of Osama Bin Laden, and are going to grow up with an incredible burning hatred for the US. Just another present which Obama leaves for the next generation to deal with.

But the good news is that Obama was able to interrupt Trump’s show and get a little bump in the polls.

At a Pentagon briefing earlier in the day, a senior defense official said bin Laden used a woman as a human shield so he could fire shots. “He was firing behind her,” the official said.

In another background briefing early Monday morning, a senior administration official also said bin Laden put up a fight. “He did resist the assault force. And he was killed in a firefight,” the official said.

In an interview with Steve Kroft for this Sunday’s 60 Minutes, President Obama says he won’t release post-mortem images of Osama bin Laden taken to prove his death.

Panetta told NBC News that “I don’t think there was any question that ultimately a photograph would be presented to the public.”

Yet another backtrack and change of tune from the White House has emerged over the fact that Obama did NOT watch the raid live and did not see the moment Osama bin Laden was shot dead. In fact the video feed stopped before US special forces stormed bin Laden’s hideaway.

The White House originally said that President Obama and Hillary Clinton watched the raid as it happened and in effect encouraged the world’s media to report that they had watched “the drama unfold”.

Gathered in the secure Situation Room, deep within the White House, President Barack Obama and his most trusted aides were able to watch the operation unfold in “real time” as US Special Forces stormed the terror chief’s compound in Pakistan and relayed images of the raid back via satellite.
A photograph released by US officials captured the drama as the group watched the world’s most wanted terrorist finally meet his end, the culmination of a 13 year manhunt.

The account Carney presented differed in key respects from one that White House counterterrorism adviser John O. Brennan provided the previous day. Brennan spoke mockingly of bin Laden’s behavior, saying the al-Qaeda leader had cowered behind his wife in the lavish hideout before being shot in an intense gunfire exchange.

“He was engaged in a firefight with those that entered,” Brennan said, adding that bin Laden had been “hiding behind women who were put in front of him as a shield.”

Experts of the “Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme” say that the Arctic ice is melting faster than had been predicted and that the levels of the world oceans may increase by one and half meters in this century.

The image below shows actual sea level rise in blue measured by Envisat, versus the claimed rate of the experts (green)  (15 mm /year.)

BAU scenarios result in global warming of the order of 3-6°C.  It is this scenario for which we assert that multi-meter sea level rise on the century time scale are not only possible,  but almost dead certain.
