Obama Speech Aimed At Bin Laden, Aides Say

Politico:

President Barack Obama's speech to the Muslim world was loaded with phrases and ideas aimed very much at rattling one man he never mentioned: Osama bin Laden.

Senior administration officials say the speech was carefully crafted to rob the Al Qaeda leader and his terrorist network of some of its chief recruiting totems, including fears the United States plans a permanent presence in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Hey HP - what is with this "picture" that you are using - it make it look like Obama & Bin Laden are standing side-by-side. Do you have Sean Hannity working in the art department?

Correction: President Obama's speech was carefully crafted to rattle two sponsors of terrorism not mentioned by name in his speech - Osama bin Laden and Dick Cheney.

If I thought for one minute that Fox News and their gaggle of right wingers actually had the brains to understand what the President is doing, I would accuse them of treason.

Politico? Seriously?

Meh.

OBL's ally, the Rushpublican Party, is going to be very upset to hear that.

Osam Bin Laden is the epitomy of fearful leadership, even surpassing Bush/Cheney. President Obama is a man of faith - and faith will always trump fear. .............

Obama: Takes bin Laden head on

Bush: Doesn't think about bin Laden much

It's nice to have a REAL president for a change.
