I have to side with Mike on this one (and I suspect this is happening more often than in the past). It did seem odd and bothering to me that both of you immediately jumped on the partisan wagon when this news came out. It seems like it should be an event that can cross party lines. You both know as well as I do if GWB had found this guy, you'd be finding some way to perhaps crap on it--if only because your dislike of the man runs too deep to be overcome with grudging praise. Mike's post didn't seem even grudgingly written.
I disagree..I have gone over my initial post on this, I didn't turn anything 'partisan' until
after Mike's all-/inclusive comment..
my very 1st post on this subject expressed my disgust of those making it partsian..
Congrats to Obama, the Joint Chiefs, JSOC, and the SEALS who put the final bullet in his head..
and yes finally, on the 8 year anniversary.... Mission Accomplished..
Well done !!
I've been looking all over the webs and it seems as tho Obama had nothing at all to with this, it was all GWB..
some on the Hannity forum feel Obama has so much in common with Osama that it's a wonder he ordered the hit at all.. then again, that was probably because he didn't want Osama stealing his US-sharia-institution glory..
it's beyond sad the extremes people will go to the dismiss this President. They can't even take this moment to rejoice as Americans.. to these scumbags I say, if Obama's to 'blame' for everything since he took office, then he gets the credit also..
Now the conspiracy of the body being buried at at sea will start and we'll have new 'deathers' any minute now..
the 'deathers' was already a drudge-headline by the time I made that post at 745am..
I didn't say anything else until 5pm, and that was a pretty awesome, if I say so myself, enhanced quote I heard throughout the day..
you can almost feel the eyes rolling from the GOP can't you..
Look, I don't presume to give Obama all the credit since he didn't pull the trigger, but he did keep his word about going into Pakistan when he damn well felt like it if he found out OBL was there.. and it sounds as if while they were pretty sure it was OBL before they went, they weren't certain until they got there.. and that is pretty ballsy IMO..
But it also goes along with his entire presidency of higher terrorists deaths..
so like him/love him/hate him just because.. he deserves his kudos in this..
I heard someone on some channel say this morning (not an exact quote) something along this of (with my own words added to his)
"I'm glad this wasn't a 'bombing' or a 'drone' attack, I'm glad that OBL got to hear the helicopters coming and got to know they were coming for him. I'm glad he got to hear and understand the automatic weapons fire was coming for him, I'm glad that he got to hear English being spoken by US Navy SEALS along with that gunfire. I'm glad he heard it,saw it and knew the US had finally caught him."gave me goosebumps just typing it out...
true, I did make a single lined "You can hear their eyes rolling" comment.. but again, the other 99.9% of that post was nothing but good feelings on the subject..
my next posts were 100% in respect of the situation... not to do with politics..It wasn't until l after
2 of Mike's
"It just seemed weird to me that protecting Obama was your first reaction. I didn't mention Dubya, and if I didn't, no one on this board would" or
"Since the only topic you guys seem to be interested in is not "UBL is dead , yah!" , that I decided he wanted to make it partsian, then fine.. we'd make it partsian..
