I dunno’ . . . I thought the people on the scene saw an opening and shot the bastard . . . didn’t know he waited for the Most Merciful and All-Knowing to pull the trigger. It’s amazing how they’re ginning up some kind of macho and concerned president when the ba$tard wouldn’t even field an answer the other day . . . and the Sec of State cackled . . . what am I missing . . . American pulls a trigger, shoots the pirate, kills him, and captain is freed. Where does Dumbama fit into this picture?
Victory has a thousand fathers. Defeat is Bush’s child.
That is against the single remaining pirate.
Last week Obama was busy with housing and his staff said he had other people looking at this issue. So who really made the call?
I’m kind of in your camp, and I was discussing this the other day. My view is that Conservatives can act like whining meemies on every little fault or non-fault of 0bama or can attempt to select issues that have meat on their bones. “Choose your battles” if you will. Some criticized me for not pointing out every little defect or perceived fault of 0bama, claiming we have to attack on every front. While accepting the argument, I don’t agree. We have to ackonlwedge at some point that we are out media’ed and outstupided.
AFAIK, there’s literally no way to know whether 0bama gave the order, didn’t give the order, wished them well, hated their white asses, or pretended to go to church. And IMO it doesn’t matter. The SEALs op was a success, he’ll be credited. End of story. Had it failed, he would have been critical and would have wanted more negotiating time. In the bumper-sticker depth of thinking that prevails, that’s what we have to work with.
