Obama wouldn’t make the top 50,000

Others have reminded us that up to now everything the Republicans supported vis-a-vis defending against radical Muslims and Islamists was deemed an "Al Qaeda recruiting tool." "Torture," Gitmo, Iraq, "disrespecting" Islam ... you name it. Everything.

Now Obama been laudin' his kicking Muslim asses and virtually killing an Islamist icon with his bare hands -- and the Left celebrates. The MSM are in an ecstatic passion. As a book title says, "Liberalism Is A Mental Disorder."

So which is it, liberals? Celebrate. Mmmm, mmmm, mmm.

Or

Headline!

Tries to revive "base", says White House Islamist mullah

What about Vlad? he had a certain panache

[Chewbarkah]

It’s not just any guy who can be a stone cold killer AND a Nobel Peace laureate.

[Freestate316]

In giving the kill order on Bin Laden, did #1 behave in a manner reminiscent of #8?

“It’s not just any guy who can be a stone cold...”

Stone Cold...that will be a National celebration day!

Joe, you’re not only historically illiterate you’re an idiot. Unless of course this is satire, in which case accept my apology.

[Martin Tell]

Good list.

A quibble, Hannibal was soundly defeated at the Battle of Zama by Scipio, a Roman.

Hail Barack, conquerer of lands both far and near! In mama jeans!

[Fiji Hill]

I have my doubts on a number of these.

• Atila the Hun was stopped at Châlons sur Marne in AD 451

• Washington may have been victorious in his war, but he lost far more battles than he won.

• Napoleon met his Waterloo—and so did Hannibal and Lee. Obama will meet his in about six months.

Joe, just brilliant! The historical perspective of warriors of the past, to a pasty looking type teenager Zer0 bowed over a seat in the “situation room” looking pissed because the SS took him off the golf course before he could finish putting, is just beautiful! No gold amulet's for you!

Zer0 is a total pussy

[Verginius Rufus]

To nitpick, Caesar and Pompey were never consuls at the same time. Pompey was consul three times (70, 55, and 52 BC) and Caesar was consul five times (59, 48, 46, 45, 44). Hannibal was defeated by the Romans in a battle--at the battle of Zama in 202 BC.

May 2, incidentally, is the anniversary of when Stonewall Jackson was accidentally shot by his own men in 1863.

[WKUHilltopper]

Obama?? You gotta be kidding! He wouldn’t even make Tender Foot grade in the Boy Scouts.

Affirmative action gave us Colin Powell, affirmative action gave us Bozo and his wookie. All three did not have to worry about doing anything to appear on top.

[joeclarke]

Yes its satire. I’m sort of glad it looks semi legitimate. jc

[Centurion2000]

You missed the following

Subotai
Temujin
Charles "The Hammer" Martel

[Oztrich Boy]

That comes down to "Always Someone Better"

You can be Attila, Napoleon, Hannibal, or Lee

But somewhere out there is Flavius Aetius, Wellington, Scipio, or Grant.

[allmendream]

Temujin = Ghengis Khan.

[Political Junkie Too]

And, Colin Powell lost Turkey as a launching base in the crucial weeks leading up to the "shock and awe" invasion of Iraq, causing the United States to spend extra weeks relocating those forces to the south, and losing the ability to cut off the north as an escape route for Saddam Hussein.
