Yeah, sure did take a lot of guts to pull the trigger after 4 months of figuring out it might be UBL.

So after 75 months, what was the excuse for Obama's predecessor... you know, "The Decider"?

Obama in 2008: 'We will kill bin Laden" - YouTube




Must be a tremendous convenience to be able to make up new "facts" whenever you need to.


"Officials said CIA interrogators in secret overseas prisons developed the first strands of information that ultimately led to the killing of Osama bin Laden."

First leads on bin Laden gathered at CIA prison - CBS News



"Saying that “our ideals give us the strength and moral high ground” to combat terrorism, President Obama signed executive orders Thursday ending the Central Intelligence Agency’s secret overseas prisons, banning coercive interrogation methods and closing the Guantánamo Bay detention camp within a year."

Americans know it was the Seals who did the job...old news and now Bin Ladin is fish food.

Oblama never served our country, but he is in over his head.

Being in office does not a cause and effect relationship make.

The economy was headed south when he was elected. Everyone acknowledges that, but three years after the fact we still have 9.1% unemployment and he has no plan for correcting this except to do what has already failed yet again. He is responsible for being clueless.

As for Bin Laden, the actions takenand opinions expressed by BO once in office run counter to the Bush policies which were essential to locating him.

Obama Orders Secret Prisons and Detention Camps Closed - NYTimes.com


"The raid was the culmination of years of painstaking intelligence work, including the interrogation of C.I.A. detainees in secret prisons in Eastern Europe, where sometimes what was not said was as useful as what was."

IMO;even Carter would have made thsi decision easlily.Luckiliy the miltary wqas not in the shape it was when in fact carter had to make the same decision which is why we need to keep funsig our miltary at these levels. time and time again it has proved itself the best of federal government orgaqnizations. Except for the Chruch commission we likely would have gotten Bin Laden long before 9-11 perhaps.
