Commenting on the death of Osama Bin Laden, Rep. Gary Ackerman has gloated: "this is the 'Mission Accomplished' moment President Bush only fantasized about." Could the Dem from New York have gotten the inspiration for his taunt from Andrea Mitchell?
The question arises because in the run-up to President Obama's announcement last night, Mitchell said something similar, if not quite as pointedly partisan.
Not only did Mitchell throw Mission Accomplished in Pres. Bush's face, she also, for purposes of taking another slap at Pres. Bush, misrepresented the history of Tora Bora. Mitchell claimed that John Kerry made it a 2004 campaign issue on the basis that OBL could have been killed or captured there "if troops had not been moved to Iraq." But the Battle of Tora Bora took place in 2001 and the Iraq war didn't start until 2003.

Well ain't that a kick in the gonads to our Men and Women who have worked so tirelessly to find a nettle in a haystack?
The Left have no respect for those actually defending our Country.
Have we forgotten how Obama and his cronies want to defund our Military and our defense system and how Hillary would not even talk or acknowledge our men and women in uniform when she was First Lady?
I've had it with this SPIN!
Where would Obama have sent him for trial?? (Pretend that guantanamo is closed.)
NYC!!!!
And I THOUGHT the liberals said the war was in afghanistan. Also, the media were complicit in tying bush’s hands for his so-called unjust war in iraq.
Stephen Heyward on NRO just blogged that some of intelligence that we used to get Obama came from GITMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The mission would’ve been accomplished if they brought a body back.
We require the same standard of evidence that Bush needed for WMD.
Sounds just like my bros farm except he has 10 acres.
Sick bast**** aren’t they.
I expect nothing less from this presstitute/Obama tout who is married to that senile dufus Alan Greenspan with his wildly low interest rates, who did nothing while the banksters ran wild
Yeah, everything is always BUSH’S FAULT according to zero, except when there is some credit to be taken.
Leftist haters doing best what Hate filled Leftists do.
As if 0bama would have had the ability to get him, had W not put the apparatus in place.
The first thing Obama was going to shut down.
The Dem congress fought tooth and nail against the intelligence community.
I wonder if anyone told the snarky b!tch Bush laid the groundwork for the intel operations that led to bin Laden’s demise.
Hey Andrea, maybe if you and the rest of the anti-war, anti-Gitmo media and democrats didn’t undermine PRESIDENT BUSH and his military operations every step of the way, he might have got him on his watch. obama gets zero credit from me. Thank you Navy Seals and thank you President Bush.
Yeah, and Falstaff killed Hotspur.
Bingo...
Sounds like waterboarding zaquiri is what really got him. Maybe Andrea will report that?
God Bless Our Special Forces
Which is exactly why Rummy beat obama to the punch.
Last I heard someone was using her pelt for cage bedding...
