I'm fully comfortable with what I wrote. It wasn't partisan at all, and the idea that you guys copied my post from the muche over here as an example of partisanship shows to me how disconnected you and Howey are from... sheesh just having a normal conversation.
The thing is though, you didn't reveal yourself just to me, but to everyone else on this board who isn't so wrapped up in the hyperpartisanship that you are. Words do mean something so I'm happy to have this thread as a testament to your single mindedness.
Here's what I said:
Perhaps we knew your guys would be crawling out of the woodwork praising Dubya for his tight work.
And I've admitted that was a partisan comment. A well-deserved comment in that my prediction was (again) spot-on!
It's proof positive that there are a small number of people out there who will not, can not, and will never give the President credit for anything...even the most significant foreign policy accomplishment of the past ten years.
To this day, over a week later, where are the accolades from this group praising the President for a treasure trove of intelligence gained from the raid?
Nowhere. They're too busy saying now that the President really, really didn't want to kill Osama.
http://mediamatters.org/blog/201105030018It's come to this: Islamophobic crank Pam Geller (last seen on Fox Business lying about President Obama's "photoshopped" birth certificate) is now reporting that Obama didn't actually want to kill Osama bin Laden, but the military "overruled" the Commander-in-Chief and conducted the mission anyway.
As anyone familiar with the Constitution and the concept of civilian control of the military can tell you: it doesn't work that way.
Her source for this shockingly stupid report is NewsFlavor.com, which claims to have received a "communication" from their "long time D.C. Insider" in which intimate details of the most closely-guarded national security deliberations in recent memory are laid out, portraying the president as weak, vacillating, and overly concerned with politics -- basically, the right-wing caricature of Obama.
Here's the key part of the "D.C. Insider's" message [emphasis in original]:
IMPORTANT SPECIFIC: When 48 hour go order issued, CoC was told, not requested. Administration scrambled to abort. That order was overruled. This order did not originate from CoC. Repeat - this order did not originate from CoC. He complied, but did not originate.
Independent military contacts have confirmed. Stories corroborate one another. This is legit.
The killing of Osama Bin Laden was in fact a Coup within Obama WH.
