It has been awhile but this is the second time that I have found reason to congratulate you. That doesn’t seem to be much of a record in nearly 2 and ½ years – but I didn’t expect that you would do that well given your lack of experience and obvious biases. However this was a good call. That bastard Osama bin Laden deserved to die, indeed he needed to die. By continuing the policies of President George W, Bush in this narrow area it appears that you have succeeded. You might consider the Bush path in any number of other areas as well.
I do have a bone to pick with you though. During your latest “I” speech you said: “The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al Qaeda.” That is an interesting analysis. That’s a bit of bravado and it is certainly self-serving.
You might consider that barbarians under the direction of bin Laden took down two of our buildings. George Bush responded by taking down two of their countries – that’s the way Americans play the game.
Al Qaeda is a symptom of a greater problem, it is not the problem. During your endless campaigning you accused President Bush of taking his eye off the ball – sadly, you don’t know what game you are in so you wouldn’t recognize the ball if or when it lands in your lap. We are at war with militant Islam both here and abroad.
I can see from your position and your particular psychoses that you probably think that the lead sled dog is the most important person in the world. You are not and bin Laden was not. You are imminently replaceable and unfortunately so is bin Laden. We will get rid of you at the ballot box in 2012. No doubt some vicious barbarian has already started pulling Al Qaeda’s strings from some rat-hole in Sand-Nazis-Ville.
But for now – good job. It would be nice to be able to say that to you more often. There are a lot more bin Laden’s out there – let’s step up the effort to get them. Fortunately you still have a place to put them if the SEALs snatch a few – Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
I am impressed that no one in the administration "leaked" the intel since they began developing it, giving away the game. Maybe Trump and the BC thing was a ruse to draw attention away from this. I also wish I could approve of Obama more often, but I am afraid he may ride this to 4 more years.
ReplyDeleteIf you compare what the Obama Team did in killing bin Laden to the buffoonery of the Bush Team in not finding him, then which one of these two men deserves more praise?
ReplyDeleteThe fact that Bush 'took down two countries' proves nothing. Bush's "Mission Accomplished" was the biggest pile of bravado I've seen in my 70 years. He 'got Saddam' but couldn't catch the REAL criminal.
No comparison!
Mudrake,
ReplyDeleteIt is a painful thing for me to speak to my elders this way, but you are an idiot. The assumption that Obama had ANYTHING to do with finding and killing Osama bin Laden proves you are a complete moron. The only reason we found and killed the murdering piece of shit is because of ALL the Bush policies Obama has ADOPTED instead of repealing the way he promised in his campaign. Your idol is such a small minded fool that he never thought about why Bush did what he did, and the briefings he recieved just prior to and in the first few days of his presidency must have totally shocked his stupid ass. He (Obama) hasn't done anything he campaigned on, and still you drool over him like he was Ricky Nelson, and yes, I am insinuating that you may be gay. Get a life, or shut the hell up so that those of us who understand the evils of the world can get on with ours.
Whatever makes you happy, Tenth. In your world of delusion, President Obama can do nothing right because, well, you know [wink, wink].
ReplyDeleteGiven the widespread approval of Obama's actions by each and every conservative and Republican that I have seen in the non-stop coverage of Osama's death - it proves that we are not creatures of the double standard. Obama did the right thing and he has received wide-spread approval for it - that's the way conservatives act. Liberals attacked President Bush unceasingly for things that Obama is doing now and being congratulated for. Don't lecture us on delusion - liberals are the masters of self delusion.
ReplyDeleteIt is too bad, Common sense, that you felt that you needed to attach the last 2 sentences to your comment. Excluding those two, I found the first part refreshing.
ReplyDeleteRegarding 'delusion,' I have been hopping around to conservative blogs and you might be amazed at the number of people who 'doubt' that bin Laden was killed. Apparently their 'doubt' stems from the fact that it was it happened on the watch of a black, "illegitimate" Democratic president. As you might imagine, Common Sense, that fact is very difficult to acknowledge for many in the conservative box- thus the delusion that maybe, just maybe it was all a ruse made up by Obama to boost his ratings.
Delusion.
Forgive my double comment, but I just found a comment by, of all people, Rush Limbaugh, who heaped praise upon President Obama.
ReplyDeleteI assume that most of the people who frequent this blog are Limbaugh devotees so, in case that they missed his remarks, here they are:
"Ladies and gentleman, we need to open the program today by congratulating President Obama," he said. "President Obama has done something extremely effective, and when he does, this needs to be pointed out."
"You see the military wanted to go in there and bomb, like they always do…But President Obama, perhaps the only qualified member in the room to deal with this, insisted on the special forces," he explained.
"Our military wanted to go in there and just scorch the earth leaving no evidence of anything after the mission. But President Obama single-handedly understood what was at stake here. He alone understood the need to get DNA to prove the death, Obama alone understood the aftermath."
"Thank God for President Obama. If he had not been there, who knows what would've happened."
LOL - apparently you don't understand sarcasm either. Too funny.
ReplyDeleteAmigo,
ReplyDeleteLiberals have no sense of humor whatsoever.
As the story unfolds, zero knew about OBL's location since last August. Nine months of dithering but he had to wait for the right time.
Kudos to zero since it was on his watch... but 9 months?
There are no accidents in politics. Never.
Hey,
ReplyDeleteToday is my birthday, and I am thrilled with the present I got from Obama. Hopefully next year he'll get me something even nicer, like a farewell address in Januery.
[I'd like to address Hardnox but, as he blocks my comments on his blog, I am forced to do so here]
ReplyDeleteHardnox, in your bitter hatred of the black Democrat president writes, As the story unfolds, zero knew about OBL's location since last August. Nine months of dithering but he had to wait for the right time.
Nine months of 'dithering.' Dithering? Apparently that proves something that I already knew- you are no military genius. Was Gates 'dithering' for those same 9 months? Was General Petraeus 'dithering' for 9 months, too? Was the CIA dithering too?
Apparently Hardnox is much better informed, much smarter than the CIA, Petraeus and Gates. Perhaps you could offer your services to them as a special adviser on national security. Or are you just an empty, hate-filled wind bag?
By the way, George W. Bush DITHERED for 8 years- do you have any criticism for him. Eight years and what did he 'accomplish?' No Osama bin Laden, but he did manage to get a two-bit dictator who had nothing to do with 9-11.
But, of course, he was a Republican and therefore he did the right thing. Pathetic party politics determining your ideology.
Mud,
ReplyDeleteSurely you have something better to do than stalk Hardnox on my blog. Your rants are carrying you perilously close to getting banned here as well. Take a breath - count to 10 - read a newspaper for crying out loud. You don't have any idea what you are talking about.
Amigo,
ReplyDeleteWhat are you waiting for? There is absolutely nothing to be gained by debating a troll.
Mud is a hateful old commie that wants a forum. I won't give him one and neither should you. He has the rest of the internet for his use. Rock on mud!
