As Obama spikes the bin Laden ball both here and abroad, it’s important to give credit to those who truly deserve it: Our military and specifically Seal Team 6.
From Blackfive:
[box]The truth is that getting bin Laden was the top counterterrorism objective for U.S. intelligence since well before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. This administration built on work painstakingly pursued for many years before Obama was elected — and without this work, Obama administration officials never would have been in a position to authorize the strike on Abbottabad, Pakistan, that resulted in bin Laden’s overdue death.[/box]

not the President who gives us democracy.
It is the soldier,
not the Congress who takes care of us.
It is the soldier,
not the Reporter who has given us Freedom of Press.
It is the soldier,
not the Poet who has given us Freedom of Speech.
It is the soldier,
not the campus Organizer who has given us the
Freedom to Demonstrate.
It is the soldier,
who salutes the flag;
who serves beneath the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
that allows the protester to burn the flag.

Pardon me for bein’ a pore dumb redneck but what, exactly, would have happened to Obama’s poll numbers if he had failed to okay the mission? It would have got out, there were simply too many people in the loop for it not to have got out.
According to Obama’s own words in, say, 2007 and 2008 he should have said “no”. After all the info was collected by coercive means. No, Obama took the coward’s way out. Such a little man in such a big job.
So much has changed since he took office. He’s learned, for example, that there are things that, for the good of the nation, cannot change. And things that must be done, whether he likes it or not.
Wish I could have been a fly on the wall in that room after they pulled him in off the golf course to watch the operation.
He did not give the okay for that mission for the good of the nation. I am convinced he doesn’t give a rat’s patootie for the good of the nation. New York money people lost friends on 9/11. How many wallets would have closed solid when the $60,000.00 a plate dinners when he visited? That is the only reason he okayed that mission.
The “man” is scum of the worst order.
I don’t mean that there are things he would do for the good of the nation; I believe there are things in place that no president can change, for the good of nation.
He would never put aside his ego for us. Never.
