kudos to the military leadership under bush and obama that led to this day, which I honestly thought would never come.
A good statement.
Further, while President Obama certainly did not physically take part in the attack on the compound (like some MFPP* apparently indicate that he should have), he had to personally approve and order the operation, which involved sending American military onto foreign soil.
Think if the operation had gone all wrong and we had a few dozen dead Seals and burning helicopters to talk about: Would any of the MFPP have said "Ah, well, at least Obama tried". Like heck.
It was President Obama's responsibility, win or lose. No doubt those brave Seals who performed the deed are saying "Bless the President for giving us the OK to get bin Laden!"
That's a bunch of crap. We celebrated right along with the rest of the country when he sent our troops into Afghanistan to destroy Al Qaeda and kill bin Laden in the first place. We'd have been THRILLED if he'd have finished the damn job instead of abandoning it to run off into Iraq to avenge his father.
"Terror is bigger than one person. So I don't know where [Bin Laden] is. You know, I just don't spend that much time on him, Kelly, to be honest with you. I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him."
George W. Bush, March 13, 2002 Press Conference at the The James S. Brady Briefing Room
Hmm, how many other al Qaeda leaders were still running around March 13, 2002?
Well, then, no doubt Mr bin Laden will be issuing a statement soon, perhaps make a personal appearance or call in to Rush. """""
Why would he do that?
"""No doubt the President and military are right now wondering "How can we convince the MFPP?
I have no idea what"MFPP" means but they sure have convinced a lot of people on very little evidence.....make that no evidence at all....
