Obama deserves a great deal of credit for taking Osama out. It's ok to admit that. It doesn't mean you have to vote for him or anything

Anyway I have a couple of questions.

1. If everything Bush did with his economic policy gets the blame for todays economy under Obama, then why doesn't his military policies get any "blame" for being a factor in Osama's demise under Obama?

2. Why don't sheep shrink when it rains

Bush's economic poop-storm ALLOWED Obama to fix the economy.

That's not what I said.

I just don't see how anyone can say that a good deal of the intel gained and connections that were made during the Bush years weren't instrumental in the demise of Bin Laden. That is without spin anyway.

By the same token I just don't see how anyone can say a good deal of the economic policies used during the Bush years weren't instrumental in the economies poor performance during these Obama years. Not without spin anyway.

The best answer I can give you to your question:

why doesn't his military policies get any "blame" for being a factor in Osama's demise under Obama?



because Bush also had the chance to take out Bin Laden in Afghanistan, and didn't. In fact, Bush Disbanded the CIA Bin Laden unit. He was also quoted as saying he doesn't know where he is, nor did he care.

6 MONTHS after 9-11:
Bush: Truly not concerned about bin Laden (short version) - YouTube

and in 2006:
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/04/wa...ntel.html?_r=1

Bush's agenda was pretty clear, Iraq..Iraq..IRAQ.


so Bush's Failure...allowed Obama to kill Bin Laden?

Muslims were in florida learning how to fly planes but not land them, that would seem a little strange to a Lobotomized Mental Moron.

While MUSLIMS were learning how to fly planes but not land them right here in America Billy Blue Dress was chasing Barbara Striesand around the white house NAKED.

"hello, god willing i would like to learn how to fly plane"
"ok, sign here"
"i don't want to learn how to land or take off, god willing"
"sure thats great"
"Praise Allah"
"ok"

I'm not saying Bush took advantage of what was gained, but Obama didn't start at square one. There was no doubt a wealth of information available to him and ongoing intel gathering. He acted with it and added to it and that's why I said he should get a great deal of credit for taking him out. A lot of good people did a lot of hard work...they should get some of the "blame"

Are you now saying that you opposed to our having killed him because he wasn't tried in our criminal justice system?
