Why do so many Democrats not know Obamas positions on issues pre-election
I just proved that you are wrong, at least with regard to the issue under discussion. Be courteous enough to acknowledge it.

Do you understand the meaning of Commander in chief? Obviously not. I'm not sure you're aware of what a president's powers entail.

Actually no.. you changed the subject from sovern nation, to killing Bin Laden, something Obama flipped flopped on numerous times, from killin him, to not important.

Obama: "Our approach to Pakistan is one that not only respects the sovereignty of Pakistan as a sovereign government, but is also designed to work in a way where we are working in cooperation with the local government"

He didnt respect Pakistans sovereignity, did he?

I wholeheartedly condemn the violation of Georgia's sovereignty. I think it is important at this point for all sides to show restraint and to stop this arms conflict. Georgia's territorial integrity needs to be preserved and now is the time for direct talks," Obama said on August 8, 2008

HE CAMPAIGNED ON NOT VIOLATING OTHER NATIONS SOVEREIGNITY.. You ca pretend he didnt, but he very well did

Yes, and he was wise enough to carve out an exception at the time, which was pounced upon by Senator McCain as "naive."

Not violating other nation's sovereignty is a good rule. Bin Laden was the exception to the rule.

Not getting your feet wet is a good rule. Not saving someone from drowning in order not to get your feet wet is a bad application of the rule.

McCain did not support the exception, perhaps because he didn't recognize the rule to begin with (Iraq, Serbia, Vietnam, etc.)

President Bush "ordered" the killing of Bin Laden back in 2001. Barry just "allowed" the CIA to continue their mission.

He said that

Must be why Obama killed bin Laden, he didn't want us to get him

Interesting also Seans use of the word "we". The guy who actually ordered the kill and made the decisions doesn't deserve any credit but Sean Hannity does
The same goes for McCain, both men opposed waterborading, which is where we obtained some of the crucial intel, which lead to the discovery of even more intel.

Clinton too.

Oh wait a tic...... 0bama did this all on his own. Neither Bush nor Clinton even knew who 0sama was, in fact... I think 0bama invented the SEALS and planned the entire raid.. he may have even built the house 0sama was staying at.

Barry had the CIA watch the house Bin Laden was living in for NINE MONTHS instead of ordering the raid immediately upon learning its existence.

According to Richard Clarke, he'd been "trying to kill" bin Laden "for five years" before 9/11, which would obviously predate Bush. But that doesn't matter. Bush didn't do it, Clinton didn't do it, the Soviet Army didn't do it.

"Barry" did do it.
