I initially thought the same thing, but was able to listen to almost the whole show. Unfortunately it took Rush over half the show, being interrupted by the press conference, and then show continuation to get around to his point.
Good sarcasm is and should be difficult to distinguish from some truths. This is the case with Rush yesterday.
We didn't get bin Laden thanks to any policy that 0bama put in place. All the things 0bama said he was going to end...he learned very quickly he couldn't. Pulling troops out, closing Gitmo, information extraction techniques, etc. If 0bama had accomplished his goals, we wouldn't have bin Laden at the bottom of the Arabian Sea.
Again, we already know that. Rush finally got around to explain how all those things are "wrong when Republicans do it," but how it is OK for democrats to do it when they are in charge. And when it comes to our military how they will 'use' it for political power, instead of protection of the country when they are not in power.
But, all that under consideration...it was still a very gutsy order by 0bama, not one I would have thought him capable of. Which if one considers the relevance of bin Laden as having been reduced to a figure head...what power did such a strike give 0bama?
Made the world safer? Fed 0bama's ego for adulation? (I, me, in his speech some 30+ times) Justify his continuing use of Bush era policies
I was listening to Rush as I drove. Rush’s sarcasm was clear even as he spoke. He’s just so good at complementing on the one hand while backhanding with the other. His words complemented, his tone was sarcastic. He’s a master.
LOL Soo Sorry in advance and yes my tin foil hat is firmly in place.
Reading all the threads about this including the ones stating Obama and military has known where Osama has been for years -
When I read your remark about a gutsy move on Obama’s part I remembered in incident several years ago about the navy snipers rescuing a captain from Somali pirates. There was speculation here at the time that our guys took matters into their own hands after being ordered not to do anything.
Made me wonder if the same thing happened here. Did our guys force Obama’s hand on this?
Like I said- very tin foil hat on my part! LOL
Thanks for clueing me in. BO should have thanked the Bush Administration for their help over 8 years. But that would have been to big a move for him to make.
