You haven't a CLUE!!

You don't even know the difference between a BUDGET deficit/surplus and the Federal Debt.

When Bush left office the budget deficit was only $300 Billion.

Under Obama, the DEBT has ballooned to $16 Trillion!!

Viewed From Another Angle: About President Obama and the Bin Laden Raid

This Commander discredits this entire post. Thank you Commander for realizing it's a two part success from one who makes the call, that would be the President and the exceptional expertise of the Navy Seal Team to physically get the job done. Without the call from the President to take him out, Bin Ladin will still be alive folks and that's the truth no matter how much denial you Conservatives are in.

A BLOG post? Really???

It's documented that if the Bin Laden raid had gone bad, Obama already had it set up so he wouldn't take the blame.

I don't give a rat's ass if you believe day is night, up is down, and right is left. It's not very difficult at all to find many articles concluding at best the SwiftBoaters were a partisan funded group offering incredibly biased, questionably truthful views of reality and at worst just blatant liars.

jt,

Let's stay on topic.

Osama bin Laden was killed, and it was on President Obama's watch.

Ok, continue.

Are you that dense?

The claim was that Obama took full credit for it, which is a flat out lie made up by a bunch of right wingers who are desperately flinging any attack they can dream up.

No self-respecting SEAL would denegrate himself to the lows of dirty politics so I don't put much into this ad at all. Plus, I would recommend this interview with General McRaven (sorry only found the transcript) to get a good feel on everything: CNN.com - Transcripts

And I likewise don't care what YOU believe.

Where were YOU during Vietnam?

You seriously want me....a Vietnam Veteran who served with the Marines in the worst area to side with a guy that came home, threw his medals over a fence, told the worst kind of lies, and gave aid and comfort to the very people who killed many of my friends?

Right......

Burdell - Thanks for your support.

Although I do not object to killing Osama I have to wonder if we have not started a War of Assassins where the objective is not to conquer your enemy’s capital but to take out their leaders, financial and political, in order to delay a knock down drag out total war. Our European tradition was not to kill the enemy’s King by assassination but on the open battlefield as at Agincourt. We are now in a War that is closer to gang criminality than War. I am certain the radicals of the world have learned the art of unsymmetrical warfare but are we ever going to learn how to eliminate these criminals? I have yet to see a reasonable, or even unreasonable, plan to prevent radicals from their destruction. Do any of you have any ideas on this topic besides returning killing for more killing?
