Where should the credit go?
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. http://tinyurl.com/6f65um6 Yesterday, Panetta admitted to Brian Williams that 'enhanced interrogation techniques', including waterboarding, provided intel which ultimately lead to the attack. http://tinyurl.com/6kz5423 I'll give Obama a 'C' for allowing the action to take place. He didn't do much else. |

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. |

Your team failed. And Obama agreed with Bush so what is your point? The reality is it became politically convenient to kill Osama. -- I can assure you that the road to prosperity is not paved with fleabagger debt. A penny saved is a government oversight. |

Don't get me wrong, Osama was a first class kill that was long over due. But right after the NATO/US-FR killed Gadhafi grand children and innocents in Libya and the growing lack of support of assassination without indictment, without due process? Osama had over 300 indictments and warrants. Obama even admitted he knew since August. But why just days after the child murders in Libya? Might I suggest it was about PR...not just Pakistan knew...US did too. It was about convenience to draw focus off of Libya NATO-US murders of the children. -- I can assure you that the road to prosperity is not paved with fleabagger debt.

Gotta' admit, just a week or so after officially kicking off his campaign for 2012, you could be on to something. Either way, it's now a campaign prop for Obama, and you can be sure nothing will be done for Americans until after the next election.. And if Obamas first term was any indication, nothing will get done then either. At least nothing but paying off the folks who re-elected him... -- Team Rowdy Mouse, Banned from the Mall for life! |

The liberals are already *extremely* upset that Osama didn't receive a fair trial, but was instead shot while defenseless. You know, I've reached a decision. When Harry accuses Scotty of pedophilia, and therefore is accusing Scotty's daughter of incest, I think he's committing a vile act. Likewise, when Scotty accuses Harry of pedophilia, without any basis, Scotty is committing a vile act. Therefore, I've decided to have nothing to do with either of them. They both owe each other an apology. Hopefully they're both man enough to do so. |
