If Bush had gotten Bin Laden, Dick Cheney would be doing cartwheels all the way to Mount Rushmore to carve Bush's face in the side of the mountain.

Actually Bush did not proclaim as you say and if do any reading whatsoever, you will find that very clearly the banner was ordered by the ship who had just completed the longest mission by a carrier since Vietnam and was for the crew of the ship and had nothing to do with Iraq at all.
I really am sorry to ruin your illusion but this talk has been and continued to be simply another of talking points.
AS to why Bush didnt order the attack on Bin Laden, I would ask how much you actually know about this mission and perhaps you can come back and explain to everyone why you would ask such a question.
The attack happened on Obama's watch and he gets kudos for having it happen...nobody that I heard ever denied it
until it became a bigger anniversary than the end of WW2 and began to become political. All of the recent quotes, etc are simply a reaction to what the WH is doing...NOT an attack on anyone. Never heard anyone do that "on an island" ONLY reacting the the theatrics of the WH
All of this, including this thread is a
REACTION to the WH. NOT something done on its own.
