GO!!!!!!!!!!!

He got Osama Bin Laden - something Bush couldn't do.

Bush started hunting bin Laden on 9/13/2001 - never got him.

On June 2, 2009, just over four months into his presidency, President Obama sent a memo to CIA Director Leon Panetta directing him to provide, within 30 days, a detailed operational plan for locating bin Laden and bringing him to justice - bin Laden was dead on 5/1/2011.


Another is the The Maersk Alabama hijacking in 2009.

Still another is the GM bailout.

I want a cookie. Make it chocolate chip.

For argument's sake

Can you prove to me that US troops killed Bin laden.

Sure. Proof exists, but you are free to deny the truth if you like.

Al-Qaeda confirmed the death on May 6 with posts made on militant websites, vowing to avenge the killing. - Reported by the Associated Press and ABC News.
Also, the Center for Strategic and International Studies reported on July 25, 2011, that the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan also vowed retaliation against the U.S. and against Pakistan for not preventing the operation.

His followers admitted it, what do you know about bin Laden that they don't?

The US Congressional leadership and those who serve in a committee of intelligence, homeland security, judiciary, foreign relations, and military were shown 15 of the bin Laden photos. Don't you think that the Republicans would have been all over this if he wasn't dead?

People reacting to news is proof?

Let me rephrase question. Any evidence that proves a US soldier killed bin laden?

Yes, as I stated, Al-Qaeda confirmed the death on May 6 with posts made on militant websites, vowing to avenge the killing.
What possible purpose would it serve them to do that if he had not been taken?

If you refuse to ignore reality, that's not my problem.

Youre jumping to conclusions. Im simply asking questions. I dont feel ive seen any proof presented tho

What part of Al-Qaeda confirming his death confusing to you?

"In a historic day for the great Islamic nation... the mujahid (holy warrior) Shiekh Abu Abdullah, Osama bin Mohammed bin Laden, God have mercy on him, was killed on the path taken by those before him and will be taken by others after him."
"Congratulations to the Islamic umma (community) for the martyrdom of its son Osama."
"We call upon our Muslim people in Pakistan, on whose land Sheikh Osama was killed, to rise up and revolt to cleanse this shame that has been attached to them by a clique of traitors and thieves ... and in general to cleanse their country from the filth of the Americans who spread corruption in it."

Close, but Obama had to be dragged kicking and screaming to actually pull the trigger on that operation. There is some debate on whether he even made that decision or if it was made for him. One thing's for sure, it interrupted his golf game.

Another is the The Maersk Alabama hijacking in 2009.

I saw Captain Phillips. The pirates weren't that scary.

Still another is the GM bailout.

Yeah, and they also should have issued a huge recall on those pesky ignition switches in that same time period and didn't. But they aren't Toyota, so even though there was harm, there will be no foul.

I want a cookie. Make it chocolate chip.

Because I am benevolent... I will give you a chocolate chip cookie.

I know I'm late to the party on responses... But the rumor is the pics of his dead body weren't released is because it was riddled with bullet holes. Like a lot.

Makes sense..... you know, to refuse closure and sow doubt in the minds of Americans after they endured a decade of war and forfeited freedoms to catch one man.

I hear the sand monkeys had a nice traditional muslim funeral for him though. Good for them.

How are those seals who killed him doing?

Extreme overkill would be a very good reason to suppress the pics. Not only could it incite even further violence, but it could also prove to put a black mark on the professionalism of the SEALS, which is bad for everyone involved.


In the end, I dont believe anyone benefits from the release of the pics. I grant you that I have some morbid curiosity, but there is no benefit to their release.

Obama had to give the order - no one else was allowed to. He did it and I hope that he wrestled with the thought of it. No President should just nonchalantly give an order to put US soldiers in harms way without thinking about it completely.

I didn't see Capt Phillips, just followed the published reports.

When can I expect to take delivery of my cookie? It better be one of those "Great American Cookie Company" giant cookies!

He got Osama Bin Laden - something Bush couldn't do.

Bin Laden was simply him being the one in office at the right time. It is well known that the info that eventually led to bin Laden was acquired during the Bush admin, using tactics that Obama outlawed.

Another is the The Maersk Alabama hijacking in 2009.

This is the only one I could come up with. While it wasnt a major international issue, I think he handled it well.




As I have said, the Obama admin has been pretty damn quiet outside of self inflicted crisis. The current situation in Easter Europe has the ability to define his admin from a foreign policy viewpoint.

Except that the facts that we know now speak differently. Obama made it a priority to get bin Laden, long after Bush kept saying that it didn't matter if bin Laden was alive or dead - "he was not the main person still leading al-Queda".

This is the only one I could come up with. While it wasnt a major international issue, I think he handled it well.

So, you agree that I should get my cookie!

Agreed.
