RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, we need to open the program today by congratulating President Obama. President Obama has done something extremely effective, and when he does, this needs to be pointed out. President Obama has continued the Bush policies of keeping a military presence in the Middle East. He did not scrub the mission to get Bin Laden. In fact, it may be that President Obama single-handedly came up with the technique in order to pull this off. You see, the military wanted to go in...

Windows Media Player Since President Obama did such a masterful job of taking credit for the death of Osama bin Laden … at the hands of a small team of American military forces – by making it a “priority” – let me acknowledge some others’ due credit.In the days after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Pakistan was on the fence.

RUSH: For the record, ladies and gentlemen, in his brief announcement last night President Obama used the word "I" ten times, he used the word "me" three times, he used the word "mine" five times, and the word "my" three times. Navy SEAL Team 6 was not practicing "courageous restraint" last night. "Courageous restraint" is a new operational tactic that the president, on his own, has instituted in Afghanistan. "Courageous restraint" is not firing on terrorists who might be shielded by women and children,...

RUSH: John Harwood. This is kinda funny. John Hardwood, the New York Times: "Organizing Now, Democrats Expect Tough Bid in 2012." Just as I've been saying all of last week and the week before, idea that the reelection of Obama is a shoo-in is nothing more than PR. It's nothing more than a strategy. This guy is no more a shoo-in for reelection than Alfred E. Neuman is. Now, Harwood has already gone on television today to disavow his own column. After Bin Laden was killed and the news reached, Harwood's...

RUSH: Donald Rumsfeld was on the Today Show today. Matt Lauer: "Let me ask you about where Osama was found. He was found not in a cave along the border.

And my immediate response...

RUSH: There's another reason, folks, that -- and I'm just trying to be realistic. I'm even trying to keep you falsely pumped up. Terrorism will continue to happen, despite the death of Osama Bin Laden. He probably has not been running the terror show for a long time, anyway. He hasn't been able to communicate. So terrorism will keep happening. Snerdley, you want to make a bet on where this story ranks one week from today? "If this is going to get Obama reelected, the election had better be next...

RUSH: Dave in Philadelphia, you're next on the Rush Limbaugh program. Great to have you here.CALLER: Yeah. Rush?RUSH: Yeah.CALLER: Hey, how you doing? Mega dittos from Philadelphia. My wife, Gail, and I are big fans. And I just want to ask you a question about the body of Bin Laden. Why did they bury it at sea?
