Barack Obama: I won't martyr Osama bin Laden (2008 Flashback)
The Telegraph UK ^ | 5/2/11 | Alex Spillius in Washington

Senator Barack Obama has said that Osama bin Laden should be brought to justice in a way that would prevent the terrorist leader becoming a martyr.

Seeking to portray himself as tough enough to be commander-in-chief, the Democratic presidential candidate warned that there was an executive order dating back to Bill Clinton's presidency that allowed the CIA to kill bin Laden if capture was not an option.

"If I'm president, and we have the opportunity to capture him, we may not be able to capture him alive," he said.

Though he refused to detail what approach he would take to bring bin Laden to justice, he sought to show a more sympathetic American face to the world when he described the Nuremberg trials of Nazi leaders as an exemplar of sound victors' justice.

He also said he’d close Gitmo.

Yes, he lied about that, but I’m glad he did.

Wouldn’t be the first time a candidate bashed his opponents policies and then carried on the very same policies once in the White House.

After all, most of the “New Deal” was just a continuation of most of the policies that Hoover already had in place.

No wonder Obama has been so cocky lately.....I wondered why he would continue to be so partisan with such low poll numbers.... and now we know.

Someone needs to photoshop a picture of Obamao conducting the burial at sea. According to the narcissist, he did everything else as well, including only playing the front nine.
