Osama bin Laden Killed by Navy Seals.5.1.11.Links Obama's Promised Trip to Pakistan Now Uncertain – AP – 5.7.11 http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/05/07/obamas-promised-trip-pakistan-uncertain/ President Obama's promised trip to Pakistan this year, once seen as a reward for a key ally in the fight against terrorism, is now a looming headache for the White House as it tries to determine whether the government in Islamabad was complicit in allowing Usama bin Laden to live for years within the country's borders.  Obamatold Pakistani officials in the fall that he planned to travel there in 2011, in part to soothe concerns that the president was favoring Pakistan's neighbor and archrival, India, by visiting there first. White House spokesmen questioned this week by The Associated Press refused to say whether Obama still planned to go.  Inthe hours after bin Laden's killing by a U.S. special forces team in Pakistan, John Brennan, Obama's top counterterrorism adviser, left the topic open. "I'm not going to address the president's schedule," he said. "I think there's a commitment that the president has made that he is intending to visit Pakistan. A lot depends on availability, scheduling."  Thedecision is of enormous strategic and symbolic importance to both countries. A presidential trip would signal a continued U.S. commitment to its complicated, yet necessary, relationship with Pakistan, a country that is not only integral in dealing with terrorism, but will also play a key role in the U.S. troop drawdown in neighboring Afghanistan.  Cancelingthe visit could be seen as a sign of U.S. mistrust of Pakistan's handling of extremists within its borders -- as underscored by the news that bin Laden lived in what Brennan himself called within "plain sight" in a neighborhood home to many in the Pakistani military………. .

Father Of 9-11 Victim-Obama "Putting Too Much Spotlight On Himself" Real Clear Politics -5.5.11 http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/05/05/father_of_911_victim_obama_putting_too_much_spotlight_on_himself.html  David Beamer, father of 9/11 victim Todd Beamer on FOX News: "I feel some chagrin now, though, about how the rest of it has been handled. And frankly it started May Day, 2011 when the president announced what had happened. The excessive use of the personal pronoun that he used in his remarks, I really felt that was the beginning of theCommander-in-Chief putting too much spotlight on himself, taking too much credit for what the remarkable Americans had done.And of course it's only now accelerated to a greater degree in the media.
