I have figured out why Liberals were so relieved when Bin Laden was assassinated.

If they had captured him alive in his jammies, they would have been able to get much intel from him, but the problem would be they might waterboard him. Now, we just cannot have that can we?

 

You really didn't think this one through, did you?

 

Assassinated him unarmed in his jammies. Had to shoot one of his wives to get to him. Great accomplishment there.

 

I think the reason th OP put this up is because this is a major failure for Republicans not getting him. Lets see failed economic policies, failed foreign policy, the Republicans are just one big giant fail. Now we have a president that is changing thier diapers and whiping thier nose in the (*)(*)(*)(*) they created and they cant stand him winning.

 

Sorry, but the intel team and the Seals that got him were there before Obama. You can thank Bush for that.

 

Obviously not.

 

Another idiot.

 

Republicans started the process of going after him, not the democrats, and its the intelligence community which is tasked with locating him, not the republicans. Obama got lucky that he was the one sitting in office when the Bush policies came to fruititon and of course, Obama takes the credit as usual.

 

Really?

So Bush put the intel team and Seal Team in place but never told them to go after Bin Ladin? We should thank Bush for NOT killing Bin Ladin?

Me? A year later, and I am still happy that Bin Ladin was finally taken down. And frankly, I always preferred he get killed rather than become a public martyr and target for radical Islam.

But I understand- lots of Conservatives would prefer Bin Ladin still out there rather than have his downfall happen on Obama's watch.

 

t the

Horse feathers. Bush the Lesser and his merry morons blew the intelligence end by waterboarding people into giving them useless drivel for intel.

Obama let the intel community gather intel by traditional and more effective menas.

Wasting intel resources in a pointless invasion of a third party nation did not help a bloody thing either.

Republicons are of very little, if any, use in time of war. They are useful in the line of fire, but that's about it.

 

Yeah....funny how that works....when its a success its Bush's sucess or its luck, but when its a failure, its Obama's failure.

And you Conservatives complain about liberals continuing to blame Bush 3 years after Obama is elected? You object to that, yet credit Bush for just the opposite.

To me its simple: if it happens on a President's watch, the buck stops- good or bad- with the President whose watch it was. Yes, most of the economic shambles are a result of policies that went into effect under Bush- but they happened under Obama- so Obama has to take responsibility. And likewise bin Ladin was taken down under Obama's watch, not Bush's.

 

Sorry, but the initial intel that led to Bin Laden was started long before Obama became President.

 

Yeah... I actually feel a bit embarrassed for the OP. The stink of desperation is overwhelming.

 

This is fine and no one is denying that Obama made the right call. The issue is that democrats contend that this happened because of Obama which is false. Bush laid down the process and directed the people to go after Bin Laden. And contrary to your belief, there are plenty of us conservatives who lay down plenty of blame on Bush for his mistakes. His wars were stupid, his economic policies sucked, and his tax cuts were mostly for the rich with a one-time pay off to lower classes. However this does not mean that he doesn't deserve credit for the good things he did.

One of those was ordering our intelligent forces and military to strongly pursue Bin Laden...It is not his fault that it took them ten years to finally accomplish this.

 

Ask yourself, would it have happened if Obama said no, that he will not authorize an attack in Pakistan? Basically what McCain and Romney said was ludicrous about Obama.

 

What is desperate is killing an unarmed man that probably thought he would be captured instead of killed (after all, it was Americans), for a political photo op moment which Obama, the Neo Hawk, is using and abusing for all it is worth. Lost all that intel too.

 

First of all how do they know they knew he was unarmed? Second of all, just because he doesn't have a gun on him doesn't mean he doesn't have some device that can blow that entire compound to smithereens. You are acting as if Osama is just some normal dude posting up on a couch playing video games.

 

I am not sure Bin laden was assassinated.

He was a person who was actively engaging in terrorist acts against the United States. He was no a head of state and exempt from our own laws against killing him as such.

 

I wonder how she got banned so quickly?

 

I've never seen proof but did see a lot of propaganda, evidence that they faked photos, a fake war-room photo with top leaders posing like some actors, the story changed 10 times, and a mystery explosion.

My guess is that he died a decade ago as more trustworthy sources have said. That is, more trustworthy than a clueless commander and a tangled-panties secretary of state.

 

Of course it wouldn't have happened had he said no. That's why they had to ask permission. I don't recall McCain or Romney claiming that Obama wouldn't have the balls to attack in Pakistan to get Usama however. Any President would have done what Obama did but the fact is that it was not any policy started by Obama that led to this. It was the policies started by Bush. Bush told them to go after OBL, Obama did not. He simply let the work started by Bush continue.

 

We are seing Bush's policies in fruitAtion in our economy and grass prices these days no doubt

 

Sorry but I must disagree. George Bush was responsible for some of the success in finally taking down Bin Ladin- but it is likely indeed his fault it took 10 years to achieve that.

He let us get distracted by Iraq. Iraq siphoned off troops and Intel resources from Afghanistan- including our best trained troops for the job. If Bush hadn't chosen to lead us into Iraq, it is likely(but certainly not certain) that we would have caught Bin Ladin years ago.

 

Osama was a GD joke, best friends to the Bushes. A friend is actually doing some work for an American firm for structures named after the bin Laden family.

Bin Laden was a Saudi, CIA-owned, rich pawn. He was never a threat unless the CIA and traitors in America allowed him to be..they did.

 

double post emphasis.
