To be fair I'm sure George W would have got bin Laden, if he hadn't been so preoccupied with locating Saddam's super colossal secret stash of WMDs. Did he ever find those??
Did someone really reply with a "Bite me"? I don't think I've heard that since grade school. |

But in this case, the facts are that the real bin Laden hunt occurred during the current President's term. HE decided to approve acting on the intelligence which was zeroing in on bin Laden for several months. In the final days, HE approved the type of action to be taken. In the last hour HE gave the order to continue, despite the hesitance of some advisors and the heavy responsibility of serious risks to those involved. All of these decisions are unquestionably the exercise of leadership. Again, you may disagree with the decisions made, and call it bad leadership, but that does not change the fact that it was the exercise of leadership. And for goodness sake, let's stick to your original point and leave the media and Bush out of this. Com'on, I'll bet you actually agree with Obama's decisions in this matter. If so, why not give him a teeny bit of credit? |

I think I felt a wave of dizziness come over me....an Obama supporter actually pleading to leave Bush out of the discussion.
Wait a minute I will be right back. I am going out to see if hell is freezing over! The hunt for OBL has been underway since long before Obama. Yes the right opportunity finally came along....has nothing to do with Obama, it is merely a time sensitive incident...as in it was only a matter of time until he was eliminated...only a matter of time. He does not get credit for the initiative to pursue OBL. Like the many other things Obama claims to have "inherited", he inherited the hunt for OBL. Yes, I will give credit where and when it is due. It did happen on his watch. Related to the subject: His current flaunting the event in the ruse of the anniversary celebration of the event is an example of his self centered need to flaunt the office. The constant reminding us when he does something like saying....as commander in chief I.....there is no need to remind the troops he is talking to of the rank of his office!!! But HE NEEDS IT! And that is why it is very hard to acknowledge some of the good things he does as most everything is measured in terms of what is in it for him. That is how I see it!! btk |

What I meant was that previous efforts to find bin Laden proved fruitless until some solid information surfaced while tracking one of his couriers two to three years ago. The whole 'hunt' story's been public for a long time.

You've given Obama credit for the leadership he exercised in this case. Now that wasn't so bad was it? (somehow I can picture you holding your nose though) |

Once again you have represented something other than what I said or intended to say:
You stated: "You've given Obama credit for the leadership he exercised in this case." I stated: "Yes, I will give credit where and when it is due. It did happen on his watch." In no way is there ANY intention on my part to: "...given Obama credit for the leadership he exercised..." Obama gets the credit for authorizing the mission...the leadership was 100% within the military... That is how I said it and how I see it!! btk |

Someone sure did. Someone who always criticizes liberals for being childish.

BTK is sure a talented guy. He can type out of two sides of his mouth. Praising President Obama and demonizing at the same time. Good job!
As far as Pres. Obama flying to Afghanistan on the 1 year mark of bin Laden's death and a visit to the troops, that was absolutely great. It sure was a lot better than Juniior Bush flying in a military jet fighter to use a US aircraft carrier as a photo op to declare the war was over although it cost over 4,000 MORE American lives from that point. What a maroon that guy was! |

At least, Mitt Romney as well as Barack Obama look like men who would not be controlled by overbearing Vice Presidents. Angler: The Cheney Vice Presidency | washingtonpost.com Did get the impression though that if Sarah Palin became VP she would have given John McCain a Cheney like lesson in back seat driving. Back to the subject of the thread, there were terrorists attacks in Afghanistan not very long after the President left. It does take a lot of courage to go into an active war zone like that.

"BTK is sure a talented guy. He can type out of two sides of his mouth." I suppose I could look at your post as a compliment to achieving a politicians capability or a partisan panderer's select ability to be on the correct side of everything. Since that is not likely we'll just go with the norm of you being wrong again as per usual. btk |

might you agree that previous efforts to find obl brought the military closer and closer and to the point that a courier's name became known which allowed for greater tracking |
