Figures that aox would give all the credit to Obama and none to the SEALs who actually risked their lives and carried out the mission.

Another example of mass psychosis....thanks Guido for proving up. Where is "no credit" Our Navy SEALS deserve huge appreciation. They followed their orders and carried out the operation close to perfect. |

Figures that your playmates would try to give more credit to Bush than Obama. |

Where was the appreciation for the SEALs in your stupid pic. The way I saw it, the only person taking credit was Obama. |

Saw this FB as a repost. Something to think about (not the slap): Let's be clear on this: OBAMA did NOT kill Bin Laden. An American soldier, who Obama just a few weeks ago was debating on whether or not to PAY did. Obama just happened to be the one in office when our soldiers finally found Bin Laden and took him out. This is NOT an Obama victory, but an AMERICAN victory! I will give Obama points for his decision not to nuke Osama's site from orbit, and risk never knowing for sure if we got him, and having our best/bravest go in there to identify and personally take him out. |

It just floors me that people that he said HE did it. Listen to his address again from last night. He thanked those involved, from the intelligence gatherers to the foot soldiers performing the op to Director Pineta.
During this time especially it floors me to see people harping on something he never said.
I'm sure others have said it was his responsibility. He was on watch, the CIC, he issued the order. Intelligence and hard work of those that preceded him were just as responsible. But make no mistake. We took our eye off the ball from 03-09. Only one person to blame for that mishap. I'd have to think had we not gone into Iraq then Bush would be the one taking the credit for this.
And yes, I am also well aware of what the prisoners we had at Gitmo contributed to this op. Does it mean rendering is still within the Geneva Accords? I'll let those better suited make that decision.
So, people who are posting these incessant stupid posts on FB, remember this ... you can't fix stupid.

Would you be so wishy washy if a Republican had pulled the trigger on this op? Seriously. Talk about damning with faint praise. |

In this moment where the guy who was instrumental in killing 3,000 Americans gets whacked, you are concerned about whom to give credit? I think I was one of the first that praised Obama's presidential appearance last night and how he gave complete props. Now, you and the forum cop comes in b!tching at me about it. What's the matter with you people? And by the way, I am impressed that you were able to give full credit to Obama for "pull[ing] the trigger on this op" while in the same post thoroughly ignore the SEALs who actually finished bin Laden off. How about ripping TTC for posting a pic where Obama presumptively takes sole credit for the success instead of coming after me? You are despicable. |

That's an absurd argument. Sorry. Me no play. |

Come on and lighten up a little. It's just a photoshopped humor piece, satire never hurts especially with the sense of relief a lot of people are feeling today. I don't think anyone on here has ignored the fine job the brave SEALs did. Yes I've caught some stupid comments online elsewhere by people who make it sound like President Obama flew in and shot Bin Laden himself, but I really don't think that's what wevus was getting at. He's perfectly welcome to defend himself, I just figured I'd help tone down the rhetoric a little. |

Who? Rummy? Cheney? Rove? Murdoch? Colonel Sanders? The Dark Hand? (Seriously: great post, I agree with the points you made. I didn't catch him trying to make it a "me" moment either and I believe he actually did have some praise for President Bush and those before him). |

I would tend to agree since he mentioned that Bush was one of the first people he called after they got the confirmation that he was in the 'dirt nap' status...oh wait, 'fish nap'? You get my point. |
