Bin Laden is DEAD, thread from Hell

[R.D.]

I was hoping politics could stay out of it for at least one day. I guess not...

Sigh, ashame isn't it?

Holy ****, I went to bed last night and it was 5 pages. Now it's 54?

I'm not reading through all this. Obama is still dead, right?

Summation of thread:

Some idiots believe Osama is dead but Obama gets no credit

Some idiots believe Osama is not dead and Obama is lying to cover for his fake birth certificate.

Some idiots believe that Bush never was serious about getting Osama and it is only because of Obama and His divine leadership that the bastard is dead

Someone should start a thread for the idiots. They seem to have a lot in common.

Guys, let's not forget that, if we're crediting Presidents as well as CIA and troops, then an honorable high 5 to George W Bush.... This started under his watch. If Obama gets a high 5 for authorizing the 'go', then so does W for authorizing the 'whatever it takes' scenario at Gitmo.

 

[tigerbob]

No matter what the Republicans try to say, Obama got him, Bush didn't...there is no way to spin that!!!

Kind of the same way those responsible for the first World Trade Center bombing were captured, tried and convicted under Clinton.

Wow, look at that would you...seems the Democrats have the better record when it come to fighting terrorists.

Yep. 2 for 2 on the 2 you chose. Kudos.

You'd have to get up reeeeeeeal early for that.

Let's not forget the desk jockeys who took that intel and patiently pieced it all together to lead them to the compound.

Do you practice being this stupid, or were just born as dumb as you are?

I'm glad bin Laden's dead. Unlike your couch potato in front of a PC screen I'd have done it myself rather than sit around on my fat ass like you do claiming some political appointee that was illegally elected gets credit for carrying out his predecessor's policy that circumvented him by f-ing puberty.

Get back in your hole, dipshit. Or get a brain. I suspect the former is your sole choice. I'm just trying to be nice.

U.S. forces were led to the fortress-like three-story building after more than four years tracking one of bin Laden's most trusted couriers, whom U.S. officials said was identified by men captured after the September 11, 2001 attacks. would this be one of the detainees the libs cried fouls over and wanted released?

Can I ask the obvious question? How could someone be tracked if they are in custody?

Christ, you're such a fuckin' airhead!

Those in custody gave up the couriers actual name, beyond his nickname, which is all intelligence had at the time. From that, intelligence was able to track the courier down, and monitor his movements which eventually led to the compound.

I agree and frankly, I thought of it, I took the cowards way out, I just didn't want to put with the screeching shit that would take place for starting a thank you too Bush thread.


he took a ton of shit to ensure the cia could do what they do which got us here, and he does deserve credit.

 

[Spoonman]

Maybe you should learn the law before you bash someone and accuse them of not following the law, the President does not need Congress to approve of shit for 60 days + 30 days to withdraw the troops.

My claim of what? My only "claim" was that the POTUS doesn't need the Congress to authorize the use of troops for up to 90 days. That's law. I showed you the law.

And who was in office when the most important figure was captured, Kaleid Sheik Mohammed. The mastermind of 9/11, and Al Qaedas top mission planner. You know, the one who gave up the info and thwarted an attack on Los Angeles?

Still want to make that claim?

yes your claim

So, Peter King is going on O'Reilly tonight, and says that the men who gave up the info on Bin Ladens courier were subject to enhanced interrogation, I.E., waterboarded.

Excellent job, CIA!

 

[Vast LWC]

He signed off on a U.S. policy that was formulated by his predecessor, to whom he gave no credit. And suddenly this makes him a leader?

What policy? Taking troops out of Afghanistan and putting them in Iraq?

That really wasn't very helpful here.

Admittedly there were some Bush policies that helped in this situation, and some that did not.

Obama was actually quite active in this scenario. While some of Bush's policies may have helped, Bush wasn't the one giving the go ahead to this specific operation, Obama was. Policy and acting on policy are two completely separate things.

Certainly he doesn't deserve all the credit, there were hundreds of people who were involved, but as commander in chief he certainly deserves a good portion of the credit.

Where was he on Obamacare? Where was he extending the Bush tax cuts? Where was he on the Libya war?

He is the opposite of honest. His every word drips dishonesty because his primary concern is not just winning but getting his ideological side to prevail.

Utter crap.

His leadership skills are dismal. He has surrounded himself with incompetent yes-men, the mark of a poor leader.
Anyone would do a better job. Hell, Sarah Palin would do a better job and I wouldn't vote for her if you hog-tied me.

More utter crap, and all completely subjective.

Ahh, so now Osama Bin Laden isn't even the most important figure?

LOL. Way to change the goalposts there Jester.

KSM is the most important? Where were the parades when that oh so important terrorist was captured?

Seems like you're saying Obama deserves your support
