WASHINGTON — US President Barack Obama described the lonely decision he made to mount a Navy SEAL raid to kill Osama bin Laden and called the daring escapade the "most important single day" of his tenure.
In an interview to be broadcast later Wednesday, Obama talked about the nerve jangling moments he endured as he watched the operation, the cloak of secrecy that enveloped it and the moment he saw a photo of the dead Al-Qaeda leader.
"I did choose the risk," Obama told NBC News anchor Brian Williams, in the latest episode of a nearly week-long commemoration of the anniversary of the bin Laden killing.

"I think it's wrong to say that I did a high five, because you have a picture of a dead body and, you know, there's I think regardless of who it is, you always have to be sober about death.

I’m ill..
As I said on another thread regarding our Dear Leader’s multiple victory laps, millions of Americans will pause and be reminded that Osama Bin Laden is dead. Then those same millions of Americans will give a deep sigh and begin their long and painful search for a job. Any job.
Obama, you sorry ass dipstick!....
When he was killed, Bin Laden was no longer any threat to the United States. the photos show what appears to be a grumpy old man in a run-down nursing home, fumbling with his remote. There was little “gutsy” about the “call”. It was already decided by the head of SOCOM and Obama wisely didn’t stand in the way - like Clinton did repeatedly back when Bin Laden was an actual threat to America. At the time of his death, Bin Laden had been cut off by Zawahiri, had no leadership or planning role in attacks, and did not even receive regular updates on such plans. This was a symbolic act only, far less significant than the capture and subsequent execution of Saddam Hussein.
and another thing I think of EACH and EVERY time he mentions this....DIDN’T HE AS A SENATOR WRITE A LETTER SAYING IT WAS BASICALLY AMERICAS FAULT FOR 9/11???
You describe Dingleberry’s new act as head executioner correct.
If you placed a gun in Obama’s hand and told him to execute the worst criminal on the face of the earth, he would soil himself.
Now he takes credit for a killing somone else did and he got informed of after the fact the mission was on, ordered by an Admiral he wopuld have cut to pieces if it had failed.
Pretty much the same thing happened when snipers took out the pirates holding hostages in that lifeboat a couple of years ago. Somenone else ordered it.
You’re too kind.
My guess is that it was over before he made it off the golf course.
Obama is a complete narcissist and the media’s worship if him is disgusting.
