No House resolution honoring SEAL's bin Laden missionHouse Republicans say they have no plans to follow the Senate in passing a resolution honoring the military mission that killed Osama bin Laden.


The decision by GOP leaders follows new rules they enacted in January scrapping the tradition of congratulatory measures, which they complained clogged up the House floor.

The Senate on Tuesday passed a resolution, 97-0, commending “the men and women of the United States Armed Forces and the United States intelligence community for the tremendous commitment, perseverance, professionalism and sacrifice they displayed in bringing Osama bin Laden to justice.” The measure commended President Obama and reaffirmed the Senate’s commitment “to disrupting, dismantling and defeating al Qaeda.” It also recognized former President George W. Bush’s efforts after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Do you really believe the SEALs have much use for the hollow accolades of a bunch of shady politicians?

When the President congratulates on a job well done, he does it for all of America.
End of discussion.

They conduct covert ops. They don't need a parade.

The Senate thinks so, and most Americans want them honored for job wel done.

If I was the person who killed OBL, I would not want to be know....

Remember hasan...

But they are right, you get a medal in the military for wiping your butt right now and has been that way for many many years...

Honoring some has completely diminished many fine medals..like the Purple Heart...

But notice at the end of this article, they are also talking about baseball players and people like that....
