From yesterday's Washington Post:

"U.S. analysts and operatives spent years figuring out the
courier?s
identity, senior administration
officials said, concluding that he was a former protege of
Khalid
Sheik Mohammed, the self-declared
mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks who is being held at
Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba. The courier "had our
constant attention," one official said.

Detainees "identified this man as one of the few al-Qaeda
couriers
trusted by bin Laden, [and]
indicated he might be living with or protecting bin Laden," the
official said. But until four years
ago, the United States was unable to track the courier down or
uncover
his real name. In 2009, U.S.
officials narrowed down the region in Pakistan where the
courier was
working, senior administration
officials said."

'Years' it says. "Four years ago..." Well, that dumps it in
Bush's lap.

Yesterday, Panetta admitted to Brian Williams that 'enhanced
interrogation techniques', including
waterboarding, provided intel which ultimately lead to the
attack.

I'll give Obama a 'C' for allowing the action to take place.
He didn't
do much else.

If that's your evaluation, give Bush an "F," because he stated
several
times he just wasn't that interested in running down Osama. And
you are
overstating what the CIA director said.

The facts remain:

1. Bush and his cohorts failed to catch Osama.
2. Cheney, Bush& Rumsfeld, et al, lied us into an unnecessary
and
really stupid war for purely political reasons.
3. Bush blew more than a trillion dollars on that stupid war.
4. Bush hurt our reputation around the world.

It's really funny that some of the Bush apologists are now
trying to
claim partial credit for the killing of Osama. Sorry,
Repubs...that
don't won't hunt. Your team failed.

And Obama agreed with Bush so what is your point? The reality
is it
became politically convenient to kill Osama.

"Your team failed".. The moron really thinks Obama used a
different
"team" than Bush? Now that's rich... It was the same team, they
just
finally won.


Hey, I am of the belief that both Bush AND Obama knew at various
times
where and when Osama was.


But with the child murders by a NATO assassination attempt, tide
turned
on the assassination thing. Also, what if others knew Obama
knew...
Obama-2012 on the way, people want results out of this
debt-suspender.


Became politically the right time to actually get him.

Take a look at ANY country, more debt more problems. So why do we
allow
our governments more debt? Selfishness, greed?

Politically the right time. Thats right.
