And, by the way, Mitt was also CORRECT (even if the words attributed to him aren't his words) that it is 'not worth moving heaven and Earth' to get any one terrorist piece of shit, not even Osama bin Laden.
It was a desirable thing.
It was a just thing.
BUT, as we have now seen, the mere fact that the one evil scumbag is dead does NOT eradicate the threat posed by even that terrorist organization.
-- Romney Would Have Killed Osama Bin Laden Too, BTWThe quote the Obama campaign is using came from an April 2007 interview with the Associated Press. Romney said in that interview he backs a broad strategy to defeat Islamic jihadists and that it's “not worth moving heaven and earth” for one person because you don’t want to publicize to the world when you’re conducting a covert operation. And Obama must’ve agreed because that’s exactly what he did when he executed the operation that weekend last year, not even telling the Pakistani government about it until after it was over.
In fact, at an MSNBC debate in May of 2007, when Romney was asked about the comments he made in the AP interview, he responded, “Of course we get Osama Bin Laden and track him wherever he has to go, and make sure he pays for the outrage he exacted upon America.” Asked if that meant moving heaven and earth, Romney said, “We’ll move everything to get him. But I don’t want to buy into the Democratic pitch that this is all about one person. ... It’s more than Osama bin Laden. But he is going to pay, and he will die.”

It mattered to America.
No shit, fuckchop.
It mattered to me. I applauded the fact that The ONE authorized the action.
But that doesn't address the point I just made (and have previously made) nor the point Mitt had made.
Lots of numbnut libs like you confidently assured us all that the GOAL after 9/11/2001 SHOULD have been "getting" Osama bin Laden.
And you were wrong. It was A goal. It was desirable. It was just.
But it was never the thing that would provide us with security.
Some of you libs are truly fucking brain dead. You, for instance.
