And they had to drag his sorry miserable azz off of the golf course to say that "yes" and he delayed until it was almost too late, THEN the POS struts around like the entire mission, soup to nuts, was the product of his courage and foresight.
What a crock of poop we have as the Poser in Chief B. Obama. As I said before, an inflatable doll, with our without the air, would be a great improvement over Obama.
As far as the GOP and its state, your projection is showing, as they usually do with your ilk.
An Al Qaeda suspect who was subjected to harsh interrogation techniques at a secret CIA prison in early 2004 provided a clue, the nom de guerre of a mysterious courier, that ultimately proved crucial to finding Osama bin Laden, officials said Wednesday.
Saying that “our ideals give us the strength and moral high ground” to combat terrorism, President Obama signed executive orders Thursday ending the Central Intelligence Agency’s secret overseas prisons, banning coercive interrogation methods and closing the Guantánamo Bay detention camp within a year.
But the Obama administration appears to have determined that the rendition program was one component of the Bush administration's war on terrorism that it could not afford to discard. The decision underscores the fact that the battle with Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups is far from over and that even if the United States is shutting down the prisons, it is not done taking prisoners.
CIA gets pieces of the puzzle from Bush's secret CIA prison in Poland. Obama closes these secret prisons in Poland and Romania claiming moral hazards. Information gleaned from prisoners at these prisons leads to the location of OBL. Obama takes full chest-thumping credit for the operation which would have never been possible if his policies were in effect years ago. Obama Administration continues policy of rendition because EIT are OK as long we don't do it ourselves.
A lot of ignorant people here who support obama, are seeing Hitler in action and are to ignorant to realize it.
Thanks to the Tea Party and the Republicans, our own little communist half breed will be stopped and the nation saved in November...

In a forum that has its fair share of dumb posts, this one really stands out.
I think it is great we finally got OBL. Live by the sword, die by the sword. But let's look at this in perspective, if Obama had been running this hunt since it's start, we would have never got him. He was and is against enhanced interrogation, which led to the finding of the courier which led to us finding where OBL was hiding. Gitmo? Same thing.
It is just another glaring hypocrisy of the left to use this to their advantage and it is fairly pathetic.
[quote=jojajn;24180176]Obama's "yes" carried with it massive responsibility for anything that could have gone wrong. Bush was too coward to say, "yes."
A recently disclosed memorandum from then-CIA Director Leon Panetta shows that the president's celebrated derring-do in authorizing the operation included a responsibility-escape clause: "The timing, operational decision making and control are in Admiral McRaven's hands. The approval is provided on the risk profile presented to the President. Any additional risks are to be brought back to the President for his consideration. The direction is to go in and get bin Laden and if he is not there, to get out." Which is to say, if the mission went wrong, the fault would be Adm. McRaven's, not the president's.
Didn't Bush basically abandon searching for bin Laden anyway?
As was mentioned, the search for OBL was ongoing...never abandoned.
Just because Bush didn't constantly blab to the media what the CIA and other alphabet agencies were doing didn't mean what you claim. All throughought Bush's terms (after 9/11), thousands of AQ terrorists were killed in numerous countries around the world - including Iraq.
Bush handed Obama the means to terminate OBL, and to his credit Barry did give the order.
But if the president hopes to run on killing OBL, look what happened to Bush1 with his 90% approval after the butt-whippin' he put on Saddam in GWI.
