Randy Forbes Calls Out Obama For Taking “Victory Lap”
By Ken Falkenstein | Friday, May 13th, 2011 | Policy
Rep. Randy Forbes today went to CIA Headquarters to review the pictures related to the death of Osama bin Laden. Afterwards, he issued a press release stating that he has no doubt that bin Laden is dead and that he respected President Obama’s decision not to publicly release the photos. But he also called out President Obama for politicizing this historic event.
Here is the complete text of the press release with the key sentence in bold:
Early this morning, I travelled to CIA headquarters and was afforded an opportunity to view the photos related to the death of Osama Bin Laden. After viewing the photos, I am convinced that they are valid and that Osama Bin Laden has been killed. Furthermore, as Chairman of the House Armed Services Readiness Subcommittee, I cannot waste any time doing a victory lap, but rather must focus my attention on the battles ahead that our nation faces. I believe that far too much information about this operation has already been disseminated and that such dissemination could put at risk those men and women who defend our freedom as well as those who will do so in the future. Accordingly, I respect the President’s decision not to release the photos.
Thank you, Congressman Forbes, for having the courage to say publicly what so many of us have been saying around the water cooler.

Completely disagree with your interpretation Ken.
If anything Randy is agreeing with Obama, who said ‘we don’t spike the football’
Post-worthy but I think you’re misreading Forbes intent 100%
It is important to protect the ones who protect us:

I agree with D.J. as Forbes statement didn’t do anything except agree with the President’s decision.
I still think his statement “I cannot waste any time doing a victory lap” was a reference to Obama making his first trip to Ground Zero and then referencing the killing of bin Laden in a campaign speech at a fundraising dinner. If the statement wasn’t meant to criticize Obama, why would he even say it at all? It’s not like anyone expected Forbes to take a victory lap.
What Obama did was erase the safety boundary afforded to Seals and their families by the distances between their home life and enemies with a dog in the fight from their mission locations.
Obama and his administration have endangered Seal families and the media have as expected overexposed them. Anything for advertising revenue huh.. Obozo, what an ass.

LOL. What a joke this is. Not a stitch of truth whatsoever. Just more toxic Kool-Aid…. OSB dead? LOLL. Not a chance. He was already dead. This is just another psy-ops and the (s)elected stooges mouthing off for the gullible masses to consume. And this Forbes character just is another partisan hack. 9-11 was a military/Zionist putsch. A take-over, and another psy-ops false flag. You people better start digging into the truth instead of consuming the toxic baloney sandwich.
