I'm glad bin Laden is dead, but in rejoicing, lets make sure that the people that deserve the credit get it. I hate Obama, yes, can't stand the man, but he did good with saying "yea go get 'em." However, I am disappointed that he wanted to take bin Laden alive. I am sorely disappointed in hearing that.
You happen to be in denial over Obama being responsible for Osama's death. Yeah, Obama didn't go in and shoot him himself, but that isn't his job, his job was to give the okay, to have the balls to take the risk regardless of the negative possibilities. Now that takes guts and you certainly have to give him credit for it. If Obama had not given the word, Bin Laden would still be alive today, so whether you want to give Obama credit or not, it doesn't matter, you are but one sourgrapes voice, surely not the only one, but that doesn't keep the rest of the country from cheering and giving Obama the credit.
Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but I wouldn't have blamed him if things had gone wrong. Like I said before, I didn't blame him when he went after Libya and killed civilians in bombings.
Oh sure, I'm supposed to believe that? You probably would have been the first one posting some inflammatory comment about Obama's ineptness and some other negative things. Obama didn't kill any civilians, so, you are most certainly blaming him by your inane comment. You are disingenuous but you don't fool anyone.
Some might say "some people will never give Obama credit for this" and I am one of them, but I am equal, I will never give Bush credit for Saddam.
Oh, I guess this makes it fair? Saddam is dead because of Bush, so whether you give him credit or not is immaterial, he was responsible for Saddam's death. Now, whether that was a good thing or not, I'm not so sure that Saddam was worth 4,000+ of our American soldiers, maybe that is why you don't want to give him credit? You don't want to admit the senselessness of it.
Like that cartoon said, all he did was say "ok, go get him." That doesn't take much.
Geez, you really are immature to think that saying "ok go get him" didn't involve a whole lot more. If we had lost the Seals, you sure would have been blaming Obama, if innocent civilians would have been killed and Osama wasn't even there, that would have been a disgrace and embarrassment that Obama would have faced.
I'm not sure you are able to intelligently figure this whole scenario, why your comments are so baseless. Why I even bother to respond to your senseless posts.
The entire intelligence community, the CIA, the FBI, and all other 3 letter abbreviations that got involved and got this man should be commended. I mean, what if Osama had been shot on Jan 21st, 2009? Who would you have given credit to then?
That is truly an ignorant comment. Unless Bush had initiated the killing of Bin Laden, it would not have happened, and Obama couldn't have ordered it the day after he took office. Osama would not have been shot on Jan 21, because Bush had already said he wasn't going after him, and Obama hadn't been there long enough to get the assignment going. I guess you really don't understand how the whole thing works, why you make such inane comments.
So on the same token, don't let your LOVE of Obama blind yourself to who really got bin Laden. You tell me don't let my hate for him blind me, well, don't let your love for him blind you. See how that coin flips both ways?
Whatever, I can see I am responding to someone that isn't even able to think rationally. It doesn't have anything to do with love, it has to do with being able to analyze the situation and apply rational credit where credit is due. It's a good thing that there are more people on the "positive" side, that are giving Obama kudos for the great job he did than those of your opinion, who are drowning in the sour juice of their own sourgrapes.
Don't worry, your doesn't either!
At least my opinion is on the side of the majority. It's not fun to have an opinion that is on the side of losers.
