Would any president have made the call to kill bin Laden? - CNN.com

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Yes...I feel...feel...so blessed [snif]...to have such an amazing man and humanitarian...as our beloved leader Barrack Obama.
The soldiers out there were mere pawns at his disposal...their role was like that of a child holding the hand of thier loving father...that through his guidance and love..and grace...yes..grace...that kept them safe while they followed his amazing brilliant plan.

Every President would have made the call.

Every President would have made the call.

Oh, I don't think so. He chose to launch a mission with Seals knowing there was a lot of uncertainty about whether not Osama was there. He chose not to use drone technology or other methods. In the face of disagreement in his own administration, he went ahead. If Biden was president he would have made a different call.

And when the mission ran into trouble, he didn't reverse course.

edited because I made the classic Obama / Osama mistake!

Hell, Natasha Obama would have agreed to get rid of the bad man.

He couldn't use the drones because their flight plans were known by the Pakistani Intelligence.

What?...They found Oba...uuhhhhh....Osama in a house in Abbottabad?

Two plus years shot to hell, looking for him in these damned sand bunkers!

What an interesting slip you made there, I know, it's easy to do that seeing that the 2 have the same goals.

I disagree. I dont think every President would have made the call. I think some would have seen the risks politically and backed away from it. Looking at all the things that could have gone wrong, Im not even sure Obama made the RIGHT call at that moment. But he made it. It was successful and he should get credit for that.

But I also dont think making the call automatically means a second term. It should be only ONE small factor in our decision.

Amazingly enough, Bin laden was no where to be found on Bush's ranch either

But as you can see here, George was looking.

And he should have told Obama he already LOOKED in those damned sand bunkers! Even Daddy had a looksee.

have you seen him?

dang!

is he over there maybe?

Well now hes just ( understandably ) distracted!

And they say Clinton was the only one who chased tail from the White House...

Score one for ole George...way hotter than Lewinski.

cmere. Gimme some sugar.

Its good to be the king!

According to the only reporter allowed into the compound, and the author of Manhunt, the CIA and the NSA both offered proposals involving drones along with minute explosive devices that could have been placed.

Obama chose not to use either.

Obama should have listened to George W. He wasn't worried at all...

THere was more than one way to "get Bin Laden". He chose the high risk / high reward option.

And if the mission had failed, Obama wouldn't even have been the Democratic nominee is 2012. That is the chance that he was taking....numbn*ts....
