Former SEAL's Book: Obama Golfed as Forces Moved In on bin Laden

By Henry J. Reske

While SEAL Team Six was moving in for the kill on Osama bin Laden, President Barack Obama was golfing. The allegation is one of many startling revelations in a new book on the mission that killed the world’s most wanted terrorist.

The book, “SEAL Target Geronimo: The Inside Story of the Mission to Kill Osama bin Laden” by former SEAL Chuck Pfarrer, was excerpted in London’s Sunday Times. Obama was on the golf course until 20 minutes before the operation began in earnest, a move alleged to provide cover for the president if the raid had gone bad, according to accounts in London’s Daily Mail.

The book, based on interviews with some of the men who carried out the raid on the al-Qaida leader's hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan, on May 2, claims that the official account released to the press was riddled with errors.

Bald Eagle Lands on Grave at US Military Cemetery

Frank Glick, an amateur photographer, captured this amazing image at Fort Snelling National Cemetery in Minnesota. He thought that the family of the veteran buried at that gravestone might like to have a copy, and did some research on Sgt. Maurice Ruch.

Ruch, a veteran of World War II, was a US Army marksman who served in the Aleutian Islands and earned a Bronze Star.

Ed and Carolyn .... a true love story

Ed and Carolyn met while on a singles cruise and Ed fell head over heels for her.


When they discovered they lived in the same city only a few miles apart Ed was ecstatic. He immediately started asking her out when they got home.

Within a couple of weeks, Ed had taken Carolyn to dance clubs, restaurants, concerts, movies, and museums. Ed became convinced that Carolyn was indeed his soul mate and true love.Every date seemed better than the last.

On the one-month anniversary of their first dinner on the cruise ship, Ed took Carolyn to a fine restaurant. While having cocktails and waiting for their salad, Ed said, "I guess you can tell I'm very much in love with you. I'd like a little serious talk before our relationship continues to the next stage. So, before I get a box out of my jacket and ask you a life changing question, it's only fair to warn you, I'm a total golf nut. I play golf, I read about golf, I watch golf on TV. In short, I eat, sleep, and breathe golf. If that's going to be a problem for us, you'd better say so now!"

Carolyn took a deep breath and responded, "Ed, that certainly won't be a problem. I love you as you are and I love golf too; but, since we're being totally honest with each other, you need to know that for the last five years I've been a hooker."

Ed said, "I bet it's because you're not keeping your wrists straight when you hit the ball."

A Star is Born

It was pure pleasure watching the U.S. Open today. Reminded me of by-gone days. A 22 year old from Ireland won, actually he had won before he started playing today, if, he just did his job. The gigantic crowd stayed to see his victory. On Fathers Day, his Dad was there to see him win, it was great.

Rory Mcllroy will be heard from again, he probably made millions of dollars today, he is a new star. He will be on Leno or one of the late shows, a guest on any show that can nail him down. He may just head back to Ireland though, and lift a few with his chums. I have a hunch he is that sort of a person.

I have seen his named spelled two ways, Mcllroy and McIlroy, but remember it. I think Tiger is a thing of the past, there is a new hero in golfdom, a 22 year old kid from Northern Ireland.

I'm Irish, Dooley on one side, Shannon on the other, I am probably related to him, Cousin Rory, the new, refreshing, golf sensation. Tiger was respected for his golf, I think that Cousin Rory is going to be respected not only for his golf, but for the person he is.

I admit I have been getting tired, of late, watching those young faceless clone golfers, this kid has "it" and has me interested in watching golf again. I choked up a bit, when he won, let his hair down a little, gestured to some friends, waved to his Dad, and then that hug he gave his Dad after the last putt, pure joy,  great to see.

And, he may be my Cousin.

THE MAN WHO GAVE UP SEX FOR GOLF...

A golfer is in a competitive match with a friend, who is ahead by a couple of strokes. "Boy, I'd give anything to sink this putt," the golfer mumbles to himself.

Just then, a stranger walks up beside him and whispers, "Would you be willing to give up one-fourth of your sex life?"

Thinking the man is crazy and his answer will be meaningless, the golfer also feels that maybe this is a good omen so he says, "Sure," and sinks the putt.

Two holes later, he mumbles to himself again, "Gee, I sure would like to get an eagle on this one."

The same stranger is at his side again and whispers, "Would it be worth giving up another fourth of your sex life?"

Shrugging, the golfer replies, "Okay." And he makes an eagle.

On the final hole, the golfer needs another eagle to win. Without waiting for him to say anything, the stranger quickly moves to his side and says, "Would winning this match be worth giving up the rest of your sex life?"

"Definitely," the golfer replies, and he makes the eagle.

As the golfer is walking to the club house, the stranger walks alongside him and says, "I haven't really been fair with you because you don't know who I am. I'm the Devil, and from this day forward you will have no sex life."

"Nice to meet you," the golfer replies, "I'm Father O'Malley."
