Why G.W. Bush Does Not Deserve Credit For The Death Of Osama bin Laden

In the coming days, weeks and months the republicans will do everything they can to make sure President Obama does not get the full if any credit for this victory. Some tactics will include disassociation, they will say the President has nothing to do with the operations at all. Or they may go in the opposite direction and say Obama may be taking too much credit since in his announcement he uses the word I a number of times. Or they may mention George W. Bush having something to do with this.

It's true that Bush launched the initial mission into Afghanistan but soon after it was clear to see that he had lost focus. The incursion into Iraq took resources and attention away from bringing one of Al Qaida's most visible leaders to justice. Osama bin Laden's legend and status in the world grew the longer he was free to continue to make threats and plans.

The Bush administration dropped the ball and because of that extended the search and killing of Osama bin Laden longer than it should have taken. For people to now include Bush in the capture and killing of the terrorist is in a word...bullshit. Looking at the statements from various politicians all of them thanked the military and special forces as well they should. They are the people who worked tirelessly to gather the information and execute the mission. But most particularly those on the right either omitted President Obama or included President Bush along with Obama as if they had a joint effort happening.

This picture is too much. A wild imagination is loose there.

 

Bush or Bama don’t deserve it. Fuck them assholes try to politicize and bank on this event. The service men and women of this country earned & deserved the victory. They’re the one who risked their lives & hunted down that SOB, not the Texan cowboy or the Chicago politician. This is the moment for our military ppl and their loved ones.

 

Thats understood but at the end of the day its also a feather in the cap of the commander in chief as well.

 

amen

 

no argument here

true

 

There are variations of it. The Statue of Liberty with Osama's head in the same pose is doing the rounds.

 

Yea, but this one is heavily realistic in image. The statue of liberty is fake as can be. I just don't think Obama would appreciate that kind of image particularly since he is often a positive guy.

 

True. Though its worth mentioning that once the (Bin-Laden family loving) Bush family finally got their target man- Saddam Hussein and his sons, it was like "Osama who?"

 

Smoove

I agree with you. I like this one much better...



When you think about it, its actually true. All the while dealing with Trump's BULLSHIT over NOTHING, he was also negotiating this tactical move. He's just too damn cool.

 

both men should get some props but the service men (not just the seals) should get the credit.

 

seals getting their collective dicks sucked atm


wouldnt be surprised if they turned this into a movie

i know i would if i were a producer

 

Reiterating your point about Bush. :smt077

I'm not going to say anything right now. So I will keep my mouth shut.

 

Of greater importance, Obama authorized the mission of the seals, despite the totally circumstantial nature of the intelligence. Bin Laden had not been seen, we would be invading a sovereign nation and the tactical team might have to engage the Pakistanis. Furthermore, if things had gone badly, no one would have blamed the seals. They would have labeled Obama as incompetent for placing troops in harm's way based on inconclusive information. To make such a savvy and gutsy decision. in the face of several downsides that would have deleterious results both in the U.S. and abroad, is something we haven't seen in a president in some time, and for all those reasons Obama deserves the credit.

Everyone has the right to feel pride for the accomplishment of the seal's mission. It's natural because they became the tool through which many Americans vicariously exacted their pound of flesh against Al Qaeda. Despite this, the cold reality is that troops serve at the beck and call of the Commander in Chief, and compliance with orders is expected. They, however, do deserve credit for the successful completion of the mission.

 

Fantastic.

 

WELL FUCKING SAIDrayer:rayer:rayer:

 

lol

 

credit?? accepting the fact that you are murder just like your enemy hu
