Well, we sent President Bush to Afghanistan to get Bin Laden, and he did balk and then took us to an unnecessary war in Iraq. After that, he dismantled the intelligence unit activated to find him, and as far as the Bush administration was concerned, it was over.

Thank you, President Obama, for doing what we asked Bush to do. Now we know what real leadership character is all about, and we are very, very grateful.

Best line I saw this weekend, the Obamaniacs are crazy to raise the question of whether Romney would have authorized the SEALs to do their job. Even Dennis Kucinich would have authorized the shot. The funniest story I have heard – no basis, may be apocryphal – is that Obama delayed the decision (as always) for about three weeks, risking losing the window for action. Another funny story – similarly apocryphal, may not be true – is that he had to be dragged off the golf course for the photo-op.

The sad thing is that this is the great achievement of the Messiah. A decision that any idiot would have made.

Always good to read the context of a sound bite.

One can make the case our President was a bit fixated. That he made a calculation with heavy political significance.

‘What Romney Said About bin Laden”

“So just what did Romney say in that interview? Yes, he did say “moving heaven and earth,” but he also discussed at some length a greater war on terror that targeted not only al Qaeda but other terrorist groups as well. For the record, this is the exchange between Romney and Associated Press reporter Liz Sidoti:

SIDOTI: Why haven’t we caught bin Laden in your opinion?

GOVERNOR ROMNEY: I think, I wouldn’t want to over-concentrate on Bin Laden. He’s one of many, many people who are involved in this global Jihadist effort. He’s by no means the only leader. It’s a very diverse group – Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood and of course different names throughout the world. It’s not worth moving heaven and earth and spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person. It is worth fashioning and executing an effective strategy to defeat global, violent Jihad and I have a plan for doing that.

SIDOTI: But would the world be safer if bin laden were caught?

GOVERNOR ROMNEY: Yes, but by a small percentage increase – a very insignificant increase in safety by virtue of replacing bin Laden with someone else. Zarqawi – we celebrated the killing of Zarqawi, but he was quickly replaced. Global Jihad is not an effort that is being populated by a handful or even a football stadium full of people. It is – it involves millions of people and is going to require a far more comprehensive strategy than a targeted approach for bin laden or a few of his associates.

SIDOTI: Do you fault the administration for not catching him though? I mean, they’ve had quite a few years going after him.

GOVERNOR ROMNEY: There are many things that have not been done perfectly in any conduct of war. In the Second World War, we paratroopered in our troops further than they were supposed to be from the beaches. We landed in places on the beaches that weren’t anticipated. Do I fault Eisenhower? No, he won. And I’m nowhere near as consumed with bin Laden as I am concerned about global Jihadist efforts.”

Don’t Mess with Texas Women

Judge: Texas can’t ban Planned Parenthood from health program

A federal judge on Monday blocked a Texas rule that would have excluded Planned Parenthood from participating in the state’s women’s health program.
In a win for Planned Parenthood, U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel ruled Monday there was sufficient evidence the state rule barring Planned Parenthood is unconstitutional. He imposed a temporary injunction against enforcing it until he can hear full arguments.
________________________________________

The rule forbids state agencies from providing funds to an organization affiliated with abortion providers. It was set to go into effect on Tuesday.
In response to the new rule, Eight Planned Parenthood clinics that don’t provide abortions sued the state. The clinics say the law unconstitutionally restricts their freedom of speech and association.

It is so much easier remembering you promises when you don’t flip flop. Obama ran what most people have called one of the most organized presidential campaigns ever, in his first election. It would stand to reason that an organized man would remember his promises, when he made one he put more than yesterday’s news into his thought process and if asked the same question again he would, unless something factually had changed pretty well give you the same answer. Kennedy use to say the reason he looked so much fresher than Nixon, in their campaign, was it takes a lot more energy to make up lies than it does to be the same honest answer on every question.

Romney is already trying to reedit his stance on women. If you are a woman or a illegal immigrate, he is trying to soften that to, or a citizen period how can you plan you future by a crap shoot. Why would you want to? Obama may not have all the answers but at least he has honest answers and there will be no whoops involved after he flip flops on a whole segment of Americans to curry favor with another.

For Jay to infer that any American president would not have gotten Bin Laden if they had the chance is pathetic “well maybe”. The intelligence network that Bush and the Pentagon laid out years ahead of Obama’s election was the set-up for the operation. The real credit goes to those intelligence and military personnel that were involved in setting this thing up and executing it. Now Obama is asking everyone to believe that it was his involvement that made the operation successful. This is at the very best incredibly arrogant and at the very worst the act of a desperate politician who knows he has nothing else to fall back on. Being the consumate “reed in the wind” politician that Obama is, if for one moment he would have thought that this mission had a chance of failure and that it could hurt his political ambitions, he would have called it off. Our Intelligence and our Military are the ones that deserve the credit for this, not Obama. Given the same set of circumstances, any American president would have done the same.

Oh yea, another Obama stormtrooper got the ax today. Not because he was doing something the Obama administration disagreed with but because he was caught on tape doing it. Al Armendariz, the EPA regional director in Texas (the Crucifier) turned in his resignation to Lisa Jackson and she quickly accepted it. The “crucifier” must have gotten the message that no-one, and they mean no-one, makes Obama look bad in an election year even if that person was just carrying out the policies that the administration have asked for from their agencies department heads. Thus, Obama throws another acoloyte under the bus. Of course, those working for this administration should expect this type of treatment. They are working for one who is not above using fascist techniques to achieve his political goals. Loyalty doesn’t mean squat to this demagogue.

The only thing that has changed since this subject was “worn out” previously on this thread is, Romney is the potential nominee. Wait…wait…, no it’s not. Something else has changed. And what could that be boys and girls? Low and behold, little Barry has changed his mind; otherwise known as a flip flop.

Obama stated at the time he should not spike the football, so to speak, about getting OBL. Now with Romney as the nominee and killing OBL probably the only thing on his record he can crow about, he spikes the football.

And who narrates a praising comment in the commercial? None other than slick Willie who had an opportunity to get OBL but turned it down. Did you Clinton lovers get that? Willie had a chance to get OBL and did not – that was pre-9/11. Now Willie praises Barry for doing what he would not. This is a circus.

Taranto has a funny analysis today:

A reader calls our attention to a March 2004 interview that Cathleen Falsani of the Chicago Sun-Times conducted with Barack Obama, then an Illinois state senator and candidate for U.S. Senate. In 2008 Steve Waldman, then editor of BeliefNet.com, republished the interview, which he described as “the most detailed and fascinating explication of Barack Obama’s faith.” This part caught our interest:
Falsani: Do you believe in sin?
Obama: Yes.
Falsani: What is sin?
Obama: Being out of alignment with my values.

This is a tad ambiguous. Is Obama declaring himself the ultimate moral arbiter, so that you are a sinner if you are out of alignment with his values?

That would be an uncharitable construction. It seems more likely that he is declaring himself his own moral arbiter, so that he is a sinner if he is out of alignment with his own values. To our mind it is not a recognizably Christian conception of sin.

Ragnar add: most Christians in my acquaintance define “sin” in terms of God’s expectations. Revealing that the Messiah arrogates that power to himself.

Now, I have no objection to Senator Clinton thinking that her approach is superior. But the fact of the matter is, is that if, as we’ve heard tonight, we still don’t know how Senator Clinton intends to enforce a mandate, and if we don’t know the level of subsidies that she’s going to provide, then you can have a situation which we’re seeing right now in the state of Massachusetts, where people are being fined for not having purchased health care but choose to accept the fine because they still can’t afford it even with the subsidies.

And they are then worse off. They then have no health care and are paying a fine above and beyond that.

Why isn’t the Obama/Romney drones bragging about this?
———————————-

A group of Pakistanis met in Islamabad late last month to discuss the impact of U.S. drone strikes in their communities. One of the attendees was a 16-year-old boy named Tariq Aziz, who had volunteered to learn photography to begin documenting drone strikes near his home. Within 72 hours of the meeting, Aziz was killed in a U.S. drone strike. His 12-year-old cousin was also killed in the Oct. 31 attack. “People were aware of the threat to them. Yet they volunteered—Tariq, in particular, because he, at his age in that remote community, was familiar with computers, was excited about the idea of being able to document the civilian casualties,” says reporter Pratap Chatterjee, who met Aziz days before he was killed. As part of a larger investigation on the CIA-led U.S. covert drone war, Chatterjee and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism reports that drone strikes in Pakistan have killed at least 392 civilians, including 175 children. “I question as to whether the CIA is really attempting to identify people before they kill them,” he says. “It would have been so easy for the CIA, the ISI, to come question these kids, to have taken them aside, even put them in jail or interrogated them… But instead they chose to kill them.”

Gates is just another Bush mistake, like Harriet Myers. I think Bush did some good things and would certainly have been more effective managing the country through our economic problems than O’bozo has been, but his weakness was RINOs.

Anyone who would accept a position in the O’bozo administration is a Marxist (see Jarrett, that green jobs czar, etc.) or a pathetic RINO in need of a paycheck.

Some people have no pride. Gates is one.

Mitt Romney, May 2007:

“Of course we get Usama bin Laden and track him wherever he has to go, and make sure he pays for the outrage he exacted upon America,” Romney said.

Asked if that meant moving heaven and earth, Romney said: “We’ll move everything to get him. But I don’t want to buy into the Democratic pitch that this is all about one person. … It’s more than Usama bin Laden. But he is going to pay, and he will die.”

The Saudi terrorists were even able to confound the laws of physics and cause WTC building seven to collapse at free fall speed for several seconds, a physical impossibility in the absence of explosives used in controlled demolition.

Indeed, a writer or newscaster is not even permitted to report the findings of 9/11 skeptics. In other words, simply to report Professor Harrit’s findings now means that you endorse them or agree with them. Everyone in the US print and TV media knows that he/she will be instantly fired if they report Harrit’s findings, even with a laugh. Thus, although Harrit has reported his findings on European television and has lectured widely on his findings in Canadian universities, the fact that he and the international scientific research team that he led found unreacted nano-thermite in the WTC dust and have offered samples to other scientists to examine has to my knowledge never been reported in the American media.

Would we have sent the helicopters into London? Because they were afraid the information would get out. No you don’t want to do that.”

Paul said the U.S. government should have worked with the Pakistani government, respecting borders, to get at Osama bin Laden. He pointed to other terror suspects who were captured and tried. Paul pointed to the arrest of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, widely accepted as the 9/11 mastermind, by Pakistani authorities. Mohammed now sits at Guantanamo Bay awaiting trial by a military tribunal.

Paul also pointed to the capture and trial of “Blind Sheikh”, Omar Abdel Rahman, who was arrested in Brooklyn and tried and convicted in U.S. court.

“What’s wrong with that?” Paul asked. “Why can’t we work with the government?”

The Usama bin Laden capture will only take Hussein Obama so far – in the face of high taxes, high unemployment, high gas price$, ridiculous regulation, an anti-Life agenda and a contempt for Judeo-Christian traditions. The bedrock principles have been eroded under this so-called administration over these past three-plus years and Real America caught on pretty much out of the gate. History has shown that this anti-colonialist attitude, pro-socialistic viewpoint fails. This is why the honorable Governor Willard “Mitt” Romney will triumph over this callous evil that has infected this once-free nation’s precious soil.
WE THE PEOPLE (Tea Party Republicans) KNOW that the best thing Hussein Obama did with the Usama bin Laden capture is that HE GOT OUT OF THE WAY. I say in earnest: Thank you Honorable President George Walker Bush for killing Usama bin Laden as well as his partner-in-crime, Saddam Hussein. Would President Romney take out an evil dictator? Of course! Liberal Jay’s post is a waste of time here. Sorry, just had to say it.

One year after Bin Laden’s death and over 10 years since 9/11, American citizens are still blindly allowing their civil liberties to be taken away one piece of legislation at a time. How much freedom are we willing to sacrifice to feel safe? Under the guise of fighting terrorism, the Patriot Act was adopted WITHOUT public approval or vote just weeks after the twin towers fell. A mere 3 criminal charges of terrorism a year are attributed to this act, which is mainly used for no-knock raids leading to drug-related arrests without proper cause for search and seizure. The laws are simply a means to spy on our own citizens and to detain and torture dissidents without trial or a right to council. You can read much more about living in this Orwellian society of fear and see my visual response to these measures on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/09/living-in-society-of-fear-ten-years.html

But The Associated Press has learned it does not report insider attacks in which the Afghan wounds — or misses — his U.S. or allied target. It also does not report the wounding of troops who were attacked alongside those who were killed.”

The above is very similar to what Jay does when he writes an anti-gun editorial.

He compares the number of people killed accidentally by guns vs. the number of “justifiable homicides” with guns but fails to include:

The number of perpetrators wounded by gun toters.
The number of perpetrators scared off by a miss.
The number of perpetrators scared off because they saw a gun.
The number of perpetrators scared off because they thought their proposed victim might have a gun.

We got lucky with Bin Laden..plain and simple. We had a couple of occasions were we apparently just missed killing him. I surely hope that any U.S. President with pretty decent intel would go after the biggest terrorist in the world. I’m glad Obama did; but its a stretch to say Romney would not have.

The killing of bin Laden is something to talk about. As feeble as this very minor accomplishment is when you have nothing else, well it speaks for itself. It must be stomach turning for the radical left to have to brag about something that they would be the first to scream if a Republican had done the same thing. History shows other presidents did not do the same. FDR did not brag about killing Admiral Yamamoto. Trurman did not brag about the nucleur decision to bomb Japan. (A far greater decision than the killing of a minor player in the war on “over seas contingecies.} Eisenhower did not take credit for commanding the invasion of Europe and could have taken credit for the defeat of Nazi Germany with more credibility than the killing of bin Laden. Nixon did not take credit for ending the Viet Nam War, which he did. Reagan did not take credit for ending the “Cold War.” As John Mc Cain said last night, “Heros do not brag.” But then Obama has no accomplishments to cite for his three years in office.

“No matter how often you post, the fact remains that President Obama moved to close gitmo.

That remains the truth.

No matter what the congress did…

President Obama signed the executive order to close Gitmo.

I know you are unable to give this President credit, but that sir,
is your own personal issue.”

Wrong again. I have given him credit for signing the executive order but his “promise” was that he was going to close Gitmo. His “promise” did not come with caveats comparable to “I will close it only if Congress gets on board”. The democrats controlled the executive & legislative branches of govt & he could still not get this done. Bush had terrible leadership skills; so does Obama.

You Republicans are the laughingstock of the entire world.

Reality averse, empirically challenged, hyper-paranoid and forever stuck on McCarthy stupid.

No wonder you craven clowns in the1950s regressive movement think the planet is cooling.

The only thing missing to make you feel really great is the return of segregation…

Kind of like the democrats working with Bushie?

Compared to the way the Goopers blocked everything Obama was elected to accomplish? no. No “kind of like” whatsoever.” and post-9/11, Chimpy McWarHard-On got most everything he needed from supine Dems.

Here’s a shovel. Keep digging.

Gotcha – having a hard time deciphering your one-cell brain their pal.

(1) Obama never said he would close Gitmo.
(2) Obama never signed executive order to close said Gitmo.
(3) Obama never wanted to to try Gitmo prisoners in US civilian court
(4) A Bi-partisian effort never rebuked Obama over this

Here are the “facts” through your distorted view. Happy now?

And now, please read the closing remarks that President Obama made in his Nobel Peace Prize Speech, in which he encourages forward thinking toward the ideal of non-violence and peace in the world’s future (which I envision as an evolution of humankind’s consciousness):
===================================================

“But we do not have to think that human nature is perfect for us to still believe that the human condition can be perfected. We do not have to live in an idealized world to still reach for those ideals that will make it a better place. The non-violence practiced by men like Gandhi and King may not have been practical or possible in every circumstance, but the love that they preached – their faith in human progress – must always be the North Star that guides us on our journey.

For if we lose that faith – if we dismiss it as silly or naïve; if we divorce it from the decisions that we make on issues of war and peace – then we lose what is best about humanity. We lose our sense of possibility. We lose our moral compass.

Like generations have before us, we must reject that future. As Dr. King said at this occasion so many years ago, ‘I refuse to accept despair as the final response to the ambiguities of history. I refuse to accept the idea that the ‘isness’ of man’s present nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up for the eternal ‘oughtness’ that forever confronts him.’

So let us reach for the world that ought to be – that spark of the divine that still stirs within each of our souls. Somewhere today, in the here and now, a soldier sees he’s outgunned but stands firm to keep the peace. Somewhere today, in this world, a young protestor awaits the brutality of her government, but has the courage to march on. Somewhere today, a mother facing punishing poverty still takes the time to teach her child, who believes that a cruel world still has a place for his dreams.

Let us live by their example. We can acknowledge that oppression will always be with us, and still strive for justice. We can admit the intractability of depravation, and still strive for dignity. We can understand that there will be war, and still strive for peace. We can do that – for that is the story of human progress; that is the hope of all the world; and at this moment of challenge, that must be our work here on Earth.”

One thing we do know for certain is that Joe Biden wouldn’t have approved that mission. After several years of intelligence gathering and some that was gained through enhanced interrogation, which Obama would not have approved we have Obama shamelessly taking victory laps. He also infers that Romney would not have have given approval. The fact is Obama had no other choice and Panetta along with Hillary Clinton probably told him that the word would eventually leak out that they had hard intelligence and if he didn’t green light the operation he would be political toast. This is desperation on the part of a failing president and his supporters to divert attention from his failures.

The former head of the CIA’s Clandestine Service Jose Rodriguez says President Obama is waging the nation’s war against radical Islam in a far more brutal manner than his predecessor President George W. Bush.

“We don’t capture anybody any more,” Rodriguez told 60 Minutes’ Lesley Stahl on Sunday. “Their default option of this Administration has been to … take no prisoners … How could it be more ethical to kill people rather than capture them? I never understood that one.”

NICE TRY LIBS!

While you, Obama, and countless other libs are dancing around the end zone the economy is getting worse and worse. The GDP is hovering around 2% which easily makes this the worst recovery from a recession in decades even though Obama and the dems spent trillions of dollars. Does this tripe even remotely affect the American people by trying to insinuate that Romney wouldn’t have pulled the trigger? HELL NO!!!!

Mary Elizabeth-A curious choice of words to describe Obama’s thinking.

New Obama slogan has long ties to Marxism, socialism
By Victor Morton
April 30, 2012, 06:56PM

Many Communist and radical publications and entities throughout the 19th and 20th centuries had the name “Forward!” or its foreign cognates. Wikipedia has an entire section called “Forward (generic name of socialist publications).”

“The name Forward carries a special meaning in socialist political terminology. It has been frequently used as a name for socialist, communist and other left-wing newspapers and publications,” the online encyclopedia explains.

The slogan “Forward!” reflected the conviction of European Marxists and radicals that their movements reflected the march of history, which would move forward past capitalism and into socialism and communism.

Milton Man-I agree. Our problem is we don’t have the choices. Four years ago the top two Democrats were Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama! Get serious. The Republican was even worse, John Mc Cain! Look at the prior choices. Bush 2, John Kerry, Al Gore. Remember Dukakis, Mc Govern, Mondale. I mean come on we couldn’t have elected a good president because we were never given a choice. Popularity means more than experience and competence. I don’t know what the solution is.

Willard like Bush would look at the business angle of killing Ben Laden. ie. daddy Bush was in in business with the Ben Laden family and we sure do not want to appear to be too heavy handed on the Saudis whho control our oil supply. Yeah Willard -good excuse- it is not cost effective. I bet he will criticize Obama for the cost of that high tech helicopter Team six lost .
