Face it all you want is to deligitimize Obama regardless of the cost to America

It's so predictable... Conservatives downplay an endless stream of mistakes by their brethren and exert just as much effort to poke holes in everything else. They "laid the groundwork" or somehow would have handled every situation better. Yet, history proves otherwise.

Compare W's pee-brained idea to stand on an aircraft carrier with a giant Mission Accomplished banner behind him when all he "accomplished" was waste our money, our troop's lives, and prove how inept "intelligence" was under our biggest crony idiotic administration ever. Meanwhile, in the face of obvious victory and arguably the greatest success for US intelligence in recent memory, Obama calls a simple press conference and spontaneous celebrations break out. The difference is palpable.

You have no clue what the Mission Accomplished banner was for.

I'm sure all the people gathering all over the country and chanting USA USA at the top of their lungs but whispering Bush Bush Bush

I like what poster said in another thread- I'm sure "The Donald" will demand Bid Lidens death certificate and that of the Navy Seal who put a bullet in his head

More trolls!!!!


Thank god for gitmo!!!!

Perhaps I've missed it, but has a conservative personality said something negative about the mission to kill OBL? Seems there is a lot of supposition of what some people want these personalities to say but I suspect you will see support for this mission as it was really a victory for everyone.

Limbaugh won't comment until Breitbart posts a video!

In a series of interviews on the Sunday morning talk shows, Mr. Obama expressed skepticism about sending more American troops to Afghanistan until he was sure his administration had the right strategy to succeed.
“Right now, the question is, the first question is, are we doing the right thing? Are we pursuing the right strategy?” Mr. Obama said on CNN. “When we have clarity on that, then the question is, O.K., how do we resource it?”

So what's this dithering dish rag going to do when he has to make a decision in less than four months?
That is the difference. Obama wanted the right strategy and Bush, well he went home to chop wood.

I was under the impression, based on several news reports, that this information on OBL's whereabouts was obtained via GITMO detainees. By keeping GITMO open and utilizing this information, isn't that simply a continuation of Bush policies and procedures? Seems they both made the right decision.
