A U.S. Army cadet reads a book entitled "Kill Bin Laden" as he waits with other cadets for U.S. President Barack Obama
While waiting for the Commander-in-Chief to arrive, an Army cadet at West Point was reading a book titiled, "Kill Bin Laden. At least now we know that West Point is still in line with America's thinking. The book was not, "Capture Bin Laden" or "Bring Him Back alive." This poor cadet had to do something while he was stuck in a room for four hours.
Some in the media said that Obama's speech was in "enemy territory." Well according to the literature the so called enemy reads, one would feel safer there than in "friends" territory. The cadets, who had no particular interest in the speech, were told to be enthusiastic. Some were even falling asleep.
They know that the President's presence there was all a media stunt and that his speech was all just babble. Now from the literature they read, we know how smart they are. If you bring Bin Laden back alive, he will have a wonderful suite at Guantanamo Bay and then be tried in NYC criminally instead of being tried for war crimes. Also, no, no, no don't call him an Islamic Terrorist. He is a Jihadist. You might offend people. Not like they did not offend us on 9/11.
The cave he is living in now is too good for him. Death is too good for Bin Laden, but it is the best we can do.

THAT is the book that Obama has been reading. He may not be pleased with the book that this cadet is reading - not pleased at all!!!
Note that the Cadet in the photo is a prior service Combat Veteran. He is wearing a Combat Infantryman Badge over his ribbons. Also known as the "CIB".
Realizing the military is a foreign to most of you, here’s what his ribbons mean:
On top, the blue Combat Infantry Badge is for personally engaging in combat.
Second row, sitting by itself, is the Army Commendation Medal for sustained heroism. It also has the “V” device, which is for valor in direct contact with the enemy, but of a lesser degree than required for the Bronze Star.
The next ribbon (ruby, white stripes—third row, left) is the Commendation Medal for exemplary behavior.
The red-gold ribbon (third row, center) is the National Defense Service Medal, which is a campaign medal awarded to those who served during a “national emergency”—the War on Terrorism.
The red-white-black (third row, right) is the Iraq Campaign Medal, and it appears he has the Arrowhead, which means he took part in a parachute drop or helicopter assault.
The blue-gold-red-white stripe ribbon (fourth row, left) is the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal.
The rainbow red-orange-yellow-green-blue ri
