Desperate attacks on Obama’s handling of the bin Laden raid

Trying to find some way to attack the president in his moment of accomplishment, some of Obama’s most ardent antagonists are making it seem as though the CIA and the Pentagon had to drag the president into the operation that resulted in Osama bin Laden’s death. Obama, they point out, delayed a decision by "SIXTEEN HOURS" (the capitalization is the Daily Mail's) before making the final call. Some are even peddling a theory that the CIA "overruled" the president and decided to go in, with or without approval, after weeks of planning and talks.

What a desperate, low blow.

Let's review the reasons Obama could have had to sleep on the decision to authorize the bin Laden raid:

-Intelligence analysts argued about the likelihood that bin Laden was even living at the compound, concluding that there was only a 60 to 80 percent chance .

Rather than "Obama had nothing to do with this."

it was a gutsy move as EVERYONE says. a smart move. a precise move

Every time I think they can't look any more petty or foolish, they prove me wrong!

DU...

OT, they've just rescheduled my appt again.

I had to check several times to see where I was.

:spray:

Nuts, to you!

:rofl:

It's time to finally talk about all of the details of the botched job there.

Orders from on high from WDC to stand down.

White House Insider: Obama Hesitated – Panetta Issued Order to Kill Osama Bin Laden

My boss has right-wing family members who send her crap all the time. They are claiming that Obama didn't want to do it and was overrulled.

screed today. "Is there any doubt that Panetta is running the country?"


Everybody knows those black people could not have built those pyramids.

:sarcasm:

Meanwhile, Limpballs forgets all about the fact that instead of sending US troops into ToraBora Bush screwed up and allowed Afgans to do that mission. Meanwhile, our troops were being expended in Iraq because of phony WMD claims.

A DUer mentioned this yesterday.

Fuck them.

The thought of this black man getting Bin Laden is really painful to these racist folks.
