x2 I'd like to shake the hand and hear from the SEAL that shot him in the head. He's the one that killed him. He's the one that gets the credit. Also the guys that did the legwork and ACTUAL intelligence along the way to put that person in the position to take him out. Someone that signs a piece of paper to say..... "ok"? No. If it was originally up to him he would've blown the place to hell and bomb it. He liked that idea until someone "advised him" otherwise. Gimme a break... nothing to do with Obama.
So I will ask again since no one answered If the mission went sour who would you blame? Even Glenn Beck had nice things to say, now if Beck can be nice, well anyone can.
I'd be happy to give him what he's due, but I've yet to have more than typed words to prove to me he's dead.
I agree I haven't seen anything that makes me believe he is dead. This is a huge move in a political arenea. Why toss him over the side of the ship, let's see it.
Shadow you misunderstood what I wrote (maybe partly my fault). I meant many here won't give the president ANY credit for making the call. If it were Bush...probably be a different story...I'll just leave it at that
I understand. I will give him credit that he was in the White House when the CIA operatives found his slimy lair, then the Navy Seals "double tapped" two rounds into the left side of his face. I bet the situation was very intense in the White House and I commend O'bama for stomping on Bin Laden's nuts.
Let's be clear on this: OBAMA did NOT kill Bin Laden. An American soldier, who Obama just a few weeks ago was debating on whether or not to PAY, did. Obama just happened to be the one in office when our soldiers finally found Osama bin Laden and took him out. This is NOT an Obama victory, but an AMERICAN victory!!
good job for obama sayin do it, but like many say its not an obama victory its obama winning the lottery for his presidency but give the man a little (tiny bit) of credit for saying, take him out! i'd love to shake that soldiers hand that pulled the trigger but its just another day at work for him, my father was in the armed forces befor the no assasination rule was in place so i got a little more info then most but i can tell you for 1000% certian bin ladin is in not in the ocean!!! thats almost amusing. they said that to keep al kaida (sp?) from retaliating to get his body.
You don't seem to know how this stuff works Gary.......If the mission went sour, no one would have ever known "the mission" existed.
I don't blame Obama for the dozen Special Ops and hand full of spooks that have been killed in missions just like this during his administration....I don't remember anyone else blaming him either. So I guess that should answer your question.
True and many of these missions have already happened only to come up empty. Under Bush and Obama. Just the nature of the beast, you win some and you lose some. Thankfully, we won this one. I give him credit for signing off on it but I am having a hard time seeing what HE did. He said HE told the CIA to make it their top priority when he took office but wasn't it already at the top of their priority list before he ever stepped on the scene? Has anyone heard anymore on this that has Obama being hands on with this mission?
Obama- At his lowest popularity since he was voted in. Obama- Coming up on re-election. Obama- Needs the popularity votes in a little over a year. Obama- Needs the country to focus on something other than gas prices and the deficit. Media - The royal wedding is over now the US needs something big to report on. Bin Laden- Reported dead Bin Laden- Reported DNA match Bin Laden- Pictures of his "body" Bin Laden- Body is now at the bottom of the ocean. Hmm?? Is he really dead?? Where is the real proof?? I am not saying I don't believe it but, man its really hard for me to not have some doubts. I will give credit where credit is due and its not at all due to Obama. He may have signed off on it but it has to go through other channels. The others had their chance but I feel sure there were very educated reasons that went into making the decision like the al queda may be much weaker now than it was then and the retaliation they could have been capable of is much lower now. Who's to say there won't be any now?? I agree bin laden had no place on this earth and am too glad to see he is gone but, as I stated, I would like to see more proof. Thanks to all of our armed forces!!! These men and women are the reason we have our freedom and there is no way in any form of words to thank them all. Thank you for our freedom and the freedom of our children!!!!
I think some real evidence is needed to prove to the people that he is dead,when will Jesse Ventura be on tv telling of the Obama Osama conspiracy. This will probally be debated for decades. Is he dead or alive.
Really like Iran? under Carter? Like Somalia? You don't think if they would have shot down and killed our solders we would have not know about it? If we went in and he was not there and got out, you're correct. If it went sour lives lost, Helo shot down etc, we would have heard about it.
