Better Late Than Never.

That's all the story I get Obama? I waited over an hour for you to tell me what the news reader* told me an hour ago.

First the news says “this just in: the president will be addressing the nation in 30 minutes, all we know is it will be concerning national security”. For a good 20 minutes it was left at that, with no more information. I know anyone in the country who was watching the news for that 20 minutes was anywhere from nervous to loosing their fucking mind. I was a good 15 minutes into my zombie apocalypse/alien invasion/nuclear warfare game plan before they dropped the earth shattering news. Major fail.

I don't know why it took Obama so long to write a speech just to pat everyone on the back. I was expecting more than this. Sure a few more details will slowly trickle out and I'm sure we'll be watching an Oliver Stone movie about it by the end of the year but I'm confused RIGHT NOW.
All I got from this speech is that Bin Laden has been partying in a mansion for 10 years. That makes me mad.

I don't understand how the president can talk to me about what this means in relation to 9/11 without discussing and acknowledging Bin Laden's history and relationship with the United States, and his home country of Saudi Arabia (where 15 of the 19 hijackers were from). The same people who trained him, killed him. In the context of the blatant facts and unanswered questions which my government refuses to acknowledge or discuss, this only makes everything more ridiculous to me.

Don't get me wrong.....I'm still celebrating. The only difference there might be between me and you is that I KNOW that I DON'T know what I’m celebrating.

Dead men tell no tales. I guess the president doesn’t either. Now if he could just kill the monster that lives under my bed I would really get a good night's sleep.

Hand out some medals and get back to the printing press.

U-S-A GO TEAM!
