you should unbury your head.. I had one post condemning the fringe.. the rest was nothing but the equivalent of a stadium chanting USA. The condemnation is deserved since your side of the aisle can't throw a 'good job' at this president without bring up Bush.. or 1000 other things.. there is always that BUT...
This was my 1st post on this subject at 745am
My next post was at 5pm.. and by that time, GWB credit was all over the place... even Drudge was calling into question everything.. You saw Chuck's post, with his count of BUSH talk on the eve of the announcements..
so spare me this idea that I jumped on the partsian wagon immediately.. It was there, you guys pulled it out and had it waiting before I even had a chance to get to this board.. There were 7 page threads on the Hannity site blaming OBama and rejoicing GWB.. there wasn't anything I did to start it.. I said my peace about how shitty they were and then moved on to a pretty damn awesome *enhanced* quote I heard and some HRC speech praise..
that 5pm post, had a snark line in it and nothing but goosebumps and love in the reast..same with the next post on HRC's words, and the next post about releasing the photos, and my fake Obama calling Pakistan..
and yet you missed allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll of that and came by to say
"Since the only topic you guys seem to be interested in is not "UBL is dead , yah!" but Obama needs more credit"
UH nope.. we were having many topics of conversation most of which were in praise of the killing, the actions taken, the speech given afterwards.. But you didn't want to get in on them, you wanted to start out punching at 'us all' because I said I didn't like what I saw on the Hannity boards and Chuck gave the Fox/GWB count.. and ignoring the meat of everything we had said..? sorry, you're not gonna get away with that here.
really? I don't see anything about OBama at all.. Just Bush..
No mention of OBama at all... just references to 2004(bush) and 2007(bush).. you did exactly what Palin did, thanked the Bush poliy, the Bush timeline and the mission without ever having to say Good Job to the current POTUS..
nope, still not wrong..
but what is interesting is that you don't get where your piece is wrong.. see while it says that those interrogations were used, and it says KSM gave us the name.. it never directly says he gave us the name due to the torture.. it leaves the reader to jump to that conclusion if they so wish to.. which you do, you have a need to feel vindicated, which is why you posted that piece to begin with(again, please stop pretending you weren't making this political yourself).. the article I posted clarified yours.. yes, KSM talked.. yes KSM was tortured.. but he didn't give up that nickname under the torture, that, he gave under normal interrogation..
Here is what's interesting to me, this was the post that you said was just references to Bush:
Indeed. It was an amazing job of putting the pieces together stretching across years. Starting with getting the courier's nickname through our interrogation of prisoners in 2004, to connecting that nickname to a real name in 2007, to finding the guy and tracking him down to that compound. From there, discovering Bin Ladin's courier lives in a compound with no phone or internet?
And he was taken out just like I had hoped he would; shot in the head by SEALS. Far better than merely dying of complications from diabetes or renal failure. And he even revealed himself a coward at the end, using one of his own wives as a human shield. It was all goddamn perfect!
It's really been a great day!
First, remember what I was replying to. wrongo's post congratulating the intel folks involved in putting all the pieces together to find his location. I have a special fondness for those much maligned folks, since their job is to describe a picture of a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle with maybe 20 pieces. And based on the newspaper and TV reporting for that day,
that was the intell timeline. Still is as far as I know.
So for you to look at that and see Bush Bush and more Bush... well I dunno. I mean, sure I'm partisan, but you are some kind of uberpartisan. You can't even look at a post like that and not see a veiled partisan agenda. Sure, I could tell you there wasn't one but you would never believe it because you know if the situation was reversed,
you would have a partisan agenda.
And as this thread shows, you did.
