WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Republican congressman who chairs the House Homeland Security Committee is questioning why the Obama administration is cooperating with a movie project on the hunt for Osama bin Laden.

White House spokesman Jay Carney says Rep. Peter King of New York should find something better to do.

King said Wednesday that too much information has leaked out about the raid that killed bin Laden in Pakistan last May. He says that Pentagon officials warn against any further public discussion of the details.

The movie is scheduled for release in October 2012, less than a month before the presidential election.

1. Oh, what was it Keith Olbermann said about Rep. King, um, er...?

Oh, yes:

"ASSHOLE"

[Historic NY]

14. +100.....

[truthisfreedom]

2. Bwahahahaha! Dude, seriously, he's the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

He can cooperate with anybody he wants to, as long as it's in the best interest of the US, and since his re-election is absolutely necessary to preserve the security of this country, the timing and subject matter of this movie are perfect. Unlike your party's bizarre fascination with the teabagger plan to "destroy America for it's own good", Obama's plan to ride out your nonsense while rebuilding America is the preferred path.

20. Besides, the Potemkin Village is Falling Down

Got to prop it up with some props.

[No Elephants]

3. "Pentagon officials warn..." Exactly whom is the Pentagon warning? The CIC?

Civilian control of the military may be another one of those myths we Americans love to tell ourselves.

[Muskypundit]

7. I PROMISE you civilians control the military.

The problem is those civilians are not in government. They are in mansions right now.

[24601]

16. Or it may not. There is full civilian control from the funding which

originates in Congress - both the appropriations and authorizations to the authorizations for execution of missions - the orders book is reviewed & signed weekly by the Secretary of Defense.

Anyone who thinks the military isn't under effective civilian control either hasn't served in uniform or is drinking whacko kool-ade.

Ask any President or former President and you will find that they wish government civilians would follow directions like the uniformed services.

23. Spoken with a lot of Presidents, have you?

[Firebrand Gary]

4. You can always tell when a GOP political event is coming. Bat shit crazy conspiracies are started.

It gives them something to unify around and bash the President with. We know how they feel about Hollywood, well "Hollywood" because the Reagan, Bateman, Stephen Baldwin, Chuck Norris, Grammar, etc does not count when they talk about Hollywood. You see that Hollywood supports them.

Oh crap, I forgot about that bat shit crazy reverse mortgage guy, Fred Thompson. Yeah, him too.

6. And by golly, don't forget their fave - Ted Nugent! n/t

He's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living ... until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then ... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'.

8. King jumps on any bandwagon that attempts to make PO look bad...

He's an idiot of the first order. The best thing I can say is thazt those bandwagons he jumps on are only stocked w/calliopes...fitting for his clown show.

9. Peter King coming up on morning dead intern

*wasn't watching on purpose....dozed off with the tv on after Rachael last night

[orbitalman]

10. Clearly, King needs something better to do...

presumably OUTSIDE congress.

[tanyev]

11. If GWB had gotten bin Laden you can bet they would have produced their own damn movie.

And Peter King would have appeared in it.

[lunasun]

17. at least 2 or 3 maybe one on TV by now !

[valerief]

12. Oh, shut up, King, and do what your type does best. Go sell nuclear secrets to some terrorists. nt

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

13. When they make a movie about funding the IRA he can collaborate all he wants. nt

[madokie]

15. f**k peter king with a 2x4 sideways ever day and twice on sunday

[bongbong]

18. The repigs

"You must support the president in a time of war or else you're a traitor!"

But it doesn't apply to non-white presidents, according to the 'pigs.

[AlbertCat]

19. Has this "asshole" done anything useful?

Anything at all?

[tawadi]

21. Another non issue. eom
