We no longer need to kill Bin Laden, claims Barack Obama

Barack Obama has claimed it is no longer necessary to kill Osama Bin Laden to win the war against al-Qaeda.

In an unprecedented departure from the current wanted 'dead or alive policy,' the U.S. President-Elect said that simply keeping bin Laden holed up in a cave was enough to keep America safe.

'My preference obviously would be to capture or kill him,' he said.

'But if we have so tightened his noose that he's in a cave somewhere and can't even communicate with his operatives then we will meet our goal of protecting America.

'I think that we have to so weaken (his) infrastructure that, whether he is technically alive or not, he is so pinned down that he cannot function.

'I'm confident that we can keep them on the run and ensure that they cannot train terrorists to attack our homeland.

Mr Obama's comments mark a significant move away from the policy pursued by President Bush since the al-Qaeda attacks of September 11 and which he himself endorsed during the election campaign.

OBAMA TO END 'DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL' POLICY TOWARDS GAYS IN MILITARY

Barack Obama is to end the 'don't ask, don't tell' policy towards gay personnel in the U.S. military.

The move would allow homosexuals to serve openly for the first time.

Asked whether Mr Obama would bring the policy into effect, the President-Elect's press secretary, replied: 'You don't hear politicians give a one-word answer much. But it's "Yes"'.

The issue was last on the table in the early days of Bill Clinton's presidency when he backed similar reforms.

But he eventually settled for a 'don't ask, don't tell' compromise.

Even though surely coming at it from a different angle than Barack Hussein Obama II or Jr.,
I have to sort-of agree with the smoothest & slickest of all politicians EVER (even slicker &
more devious & conniving than: "Lover-boy-In-Chief" Bill Clinton ever was).

After all, NO ONE (even at Highest Official levels) can honestly state whether world's best
known Muslim Mass-Murderer is still actually alive or just barely alive slobbering all over self??

Either way OK with me, even though much prefer: "Barely alive" & SUFFERING GREATLY.
Death is too easy a way out for such Mass-Murdering Islamic Killer Scum.
