House Republican leaders who were criticized for not commemorating the death of Osama bin Laden say an intelligence bill headed to the floor this week will honor the achievement.

Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) on Tuesday said legislation lawmakers will consider later this week will "pay tribute" to the military and the intelligence community in lieu of a resolution expressly honoring the mission that took out bin Laden. ...

“As we considered that last week, we deal with the rules we put in place in the House, and we’ve said since we assumed the majority that we want to be substantive and meaningful,” Cantor said at his weekly press briefing.
“We also understand the large impact that was gained by the intelligence community and the SEALs activity in Pakistan and obviously is worthy of our support. So we believe the best way to express that support [and] extend congratulations is in the context of the intel bill,” Cantor said.

GOP leaders had indicated from the outset last week that a congratulatory resolution was not in the offing, but Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Thursday it remained under discussion....

Cantor noted the Congress has not approved a full intelligence authorization bill in six years, and he predicted this one would pass the Senate and make it to the president’s desk. The GOP bill reduces the budget authority of the various intelligence agencies by $47 billion, though Republicans hope the legislation will bring more clarity on spending for the remainder of the fiscal year.

A flip-flop? Petty politics? or giving them their due without a separate resolution?

Politics aside, I think that's better than the original plan. This is much more inclusive of the efforts of a lot more people.

Politics aside, I agree.

But what about Flint picking on Jill because she's a chick?

Oh that's right, that never happened, that was just made up.

And the reporters hunts begin.... just like I predicted.

You needn't worry mercy. They have LOTS of cover. Besides, your story concludes that good seals are probably at home. I sincerely doubt any crew that could pluck a man from his home in an armed walled compound would have any trouble defending his own castle.

They're gonna be fine.

I agree about their homes.... but not about the guys going out for a beer or two in the specific local pubs listed in this very article. Or the moms taking their kids to soccer practice at the local rec center.

Reporters are as bad if not worse than lawyers. I think they are worse, actually. Reporters only take, a lawyer only takes 1/3.

Imagine that.....

Gates, Mullen appeal for end to disclosures of Osama bin Laden raid details

The defense secretary and the head of the Joint Chiefs argue that the information could compromise future missions.

I've considered that using ST6 may have stemmed from the politics of having an Adm. as CJCS. Now I'm considering that they were used for the high profile event to keep the paparazzi away from Δ.
