You've been contemplating starting this thread for what? Four months or so?
No, I just thought about it 10 minutes beforeI posted it. What's your point????
[quote=North Beach Paerson;20838184}To answer someone else-Carter would have likely had the SEALs stand down or would have sent them in with inadequate planning or equipment (Desert One anyone?). Clinton would have hesitated and consulted polling data.[/quote]
All of the military and intelligence people have praised his decision to make the call. One general said it was a "very gutsy" call on the President's part. That makes me proud today. I think many others, including GWB and McCain, would have been afraid of the political fallout.
Do What??? What political fallout comes from catching the one criminal all of America wanted to come to justice?
Also do you seriously think Bush played no role in catching Bin Laden? You cant possibly think that was all Obama and only Obama. Also watch exactly did Obama personally do that was so brave

If that's the case you must be an awful slow thinker since most normal people would have done it immediately after the action. Or you do this for pay when poll numbers go down.
And this is relevant to my post...how???
A response to someone who said any President would have done the same. Don't you read your own thread response or retain what's posted?
He ordered Panetta to find Bin Laden as one of his first foreign policy moves.
Fact.
He chose to send special ops troops in instead of hitting the compound with an airstrike.
Fact.
Bush didn't care about Bin Laden.
Fact.
In eight years, President Bush failed to oversee the capture or killing of Osama Bin Laden.
Fact.
In 2 1/2 years, President Obama oversaw the killing of Osama Bin Laden.
Fact.
Well your facts are distorted. Obama didn't get Bin Laden it had been in the works for years. He just lucked out that all of the work that had been done came to fruition during his time.
