Obama had the power to cancel the mission. If it failed, he would take the blame. It was his call.

Remember Operation Eagle Claw? I'm sure Obama was reminded of it.

Funny how the Dems get blamed on one hand for entering too many wars, and on the other hand for being too cowardly to take military action. Which one is it?

Wait, wait, wait....W gave the mission the green light during his presidency, which ended in January of 2009. In 2011, when bin Laden was killed, Obama was just riding W’s coattails? That’s a good story!

Both prognostications made with NO factual support.
well to be fair, prophesying is by definition, guessing. facts are fortold in the future of actual outcomes.

Given that our military voted more for Biden then Trump Id say yes. You folks make a mistake in thinking we arent your neighbors. You make up some fantasy among yourselves about who the left are. Its delusional.

Well we know it's true because if the mission had failed these right wingers like this here Enraeh would have blamed George W for it's failure rather than Obama. Right???

Those were terrible times but the people of this country united against a common enemy as a wave of Patriotism swept the country.

It is an awesome song.

If the terrorist attack happened with Trump in charge is there any doubt that he would go after those responsible in a big way?

If the terrorist attack happened with Biden/Harris in charge I have my doubts about what would happen especially with the way the Democrat party has changed.



I think that if the planes hit the trade towers with Biden/Harris in charge they would issue an apology to the terrorist leaders that they were sorry our buildings got in the way of their peaceful hijacking...





Toby Keith's song, like many of his are, is a tribute to Patriotism, to the Glory of America and they inspire good people to MAGA but with Biden/Harris I feel that we have somehow lost Pride for our country.





Does the Left have what it takes if terrorists strike us again?
ive thought about how soulfully and profoundly we were united that period. i cried and wanted to hug everyone, strangers included. flags lined EVERY street, everything was a sea of flags. heros, everyone. people in line to donate blood, fundraising. my god

while it was the worst thing to happen in my life, the aftermath was the most beautiful and moving

and look at us now. with no common enemy, we infight.
