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.
