Yea, it was far more cunning and dangerous than Doolittle's Raid. It dwarfed the scale and epic planning and strategic deception and execution of the D-Day Invasion. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagosaki, wasn't THAT kind of audacious?
I do not take anything away from the Bin Laden coupe. It was certainly daring and a terrifying testiment to our enemies about the capabilities of America's finest. It also sent one hell of a message to the world, "Don't doubt what America will do or what we are capable of." Obama should get the credit as he is the sitting president and he did give the go order.
Frankly, Obama's war record with regards to the aggressive hunt and killing of terrorist is worthy of respect. He may have taken enhanced interrogation off the table but he did implement a "kill them all" strategy, which can be just as effective when terrorist are deciding who should be in charge next and whose house should be base for planning purposes.
However, his leadership with regards to Iran and N. Korea is abysmal. Maybe he will yet surprise us with those situations (I actually do hope).
“Frankly, Obama’s war record with regards to the aggressive hunt and killing of terrorist{s?} is worthy of respect.”
NOPE!
He offered up the lives of 30 SEALs in pennance.
“Obama should get the credit as he is the sitting president and he did give the go order.”
DID he give the go order?
How much else should we be believing from ABCCBSCNNNBCFOX/AP?
It well may be the case that Obama had Osama taken out only as a symbolic payback for his (bin Laden) going against the Soviets in the 80s. It did take place on commie May Day. Commies are big on symbolism, and ‘special dates’ and anniversaries. Perhaps his pal KGB Putin asked him to do it. There are also reports that the Russians trained al-qaueda #2 prior to 911 (”dead men tell no tales”?) Obama obviously has no problem with terrorists attacking the Pentagon or other US military facilities. He launched his political career in the living room of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. His spiritual adviser of twenty plus years said we deserved 911: Americas chickens...are coming home...TO ROOST. Hes currently bending over backwards to strengthen Putin. Putin is planning a return of the Soviet Union. Obama (in the 80s) and his late “Uncle Frank” (Frank Marshall Davis) are/were diehard supporters of the communist Soviet Union.
