I guess that depends on who Obama was talking to because
President Obama has stated that it is vitally important for the country to put some of the controversial policies of the last eight years behind it. While the forthcoming trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and several figures allegedly involved in plotting the 9/11 attacks in New York will be helpful, nothing would help more than if Osama bin Laden were captured, afforded full due process and put on trial.
And what happened to the left wing argument that terrorists should be read their miranda warnings? You guys flip flopped from this position in a matter of days, into trying to claim now that this is one of Obamas greatest accomplishments.. And of course we all know you believe Bush ran around lying to the world about everything, and some left wing kooks belive Bush actually knocked down the wtc and not UBL, doesnt this mean Obama killed an innocent man?
Listen I was simply refuting what was said by the poster I replied to, I succeeded....
It was at a presidential debate on 10/7/08 btw....
Giving Obama credit for anything but giving the order to go is a joke....that operation has been going on for YEARS. he was just lucky that it culminated on his watch.
Going on for years? Not quite, unless you mean going on and off for years. The hunt for bin Laden started with Bill Clinton (no, it didn't start with Bush, that's a myth) and then when Bush came into office he called it off. Only to resume it when 3,000 people were killed on his watch. Then in 2006 the CIA team charged with getting bin Laden was disbanded. When Obama came into office he resumed the hunt (without waiting for 3,000 people to be killed) and got bin Laden
A decade long manhunt ends with a phone call stating, "hey, we found our guy, what should we do?" Is it really a stretch to guess what any rational persons answer would have been?
You really think "get him" and "let him go" were the only two options???
"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02
Obama made it a priority.
The military deserves the credit. If Alan @%#$ing Keyes had been president when the military developed that intel, he would have taken credit just like our current 'tard of a president and the 'tard before him.
Also, Hannity should be mouth-punched. The few times I have tuned in to conservative talk radio the past few weeks, Hannity, Levin and company have been big-upping Newt Gingrich like he's the second coming of Reagan.
Way to go, guys. Let's give the nomination to a dude with more baggage than Paris Hilton, and gift another four years to the guy who handed over half our GDP to the banks.
I really can't understand why hardcore partisans on either side work so hard to defend politicians who are screwing them.
