Landing on the carrier dressed as G.I. Joe with the Ku Fu grip was a....wait for it....Pushing the fast foreward button on history often results in disgrace. I wonder who in that inept administration thought that stunt was a grand idea?
Stunt?
The CiC congratulating a CV group for an accomplished mission with no casualties is a stunt?
Wow.
I wonder if those brave men and women thought it was a stunt.
STUNT!
A commander-in-Chief congratulating a carrier group is one thing. Add theatrics and costume and soon it becomes, well....
It's all ham handed, poorly conceived politics from our friends on the Right.
Had Bush managed to capture or kill bin Laden, would our friends on the right be making the whining noises they're making now? What would their reaction be if someone on the Left said something irresponsible and peevish like "Bush just made a decision, he didn't kill bin Laden! He deserves no credit!"?
It's over. Obama got bin Laden. Making utterly stupid claims such as we see here from the Right reveal more than I think they'd like.
Funny...I dont recall Bush out there saying he got Hussein.
He gave credit where credit was due......
Did Obama say "I got Bin Laden" ?
I seem to remember quite a bit of congratulations to the SEAL team and very little recognition of himself. Want to pull up the text of his speech and we can discuss further?

Bin Laden received the credit for 9-11. All he did was give approval
President Obama authorized the operation that took down Bil Laden. That in itself took political will and guts. He didn't pull the trigger, but I guarantee you that if we had another Desert One (Carter's botched operation to free the Iranian Hostages that resulted in the death of 6 GI's), there would have been hell to pay.
I abhor President Obama's policies and believe that he is WRONG for America. But you have to give him credit for putting his cajone's on the line to snuff out that maggot. Good job...
Really?
With all of our covert operations....
You really think Obama gave the approval to breach an allly's airspace and conduct a military operation on their sovereign land?
I tend to doubt it.

Bin Laden received the credit for 9-11. All he did was give approval
which was exactly why Bush was not overly concerned about his capture. He was well aware that all he did was take the creidt for it.

I absolutely believe the decision to invade Pakistans airspace and risk the SEALS life required presidential approval. If it failed, it would have been his ass. Ask Jimmy Carter
All this spinning is making me ill! Pass the dramamine!It's all ham handed, poorly conceived politics from our friends on the Right.

I can't believe you just said that after all we have been through.
One hot summer's day a Fox was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. "Just the thing to quench my thirst," quoth he. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a one, two, three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: "I am sure they are sour."
Speaking of sour-grapes, remember all the screeching that went on when Bush landed on that carrier, when our troops killed Saddam's sons and actually provided proof, when he finally captured Saddam???? Bet you felt it was criminal.
Don't talk about sour-grapes. You're not speaking from a position of strength I assure you.
#1...Bush wasn't piloting that S-3...he was a passenger
#2...hundred, if not thousands of family members here in San Diego waited another day with their loved ones in sight off Pt Loma because the President wanted a photo op.
#3...Nice backdrop "Mission Accomplished"...what mission?
San Diego is a Republican town for the most part...lots of Navy and Marines. We were NOT impressed.

How many people do you expect will read your latest post and conclude that your stilted version of history is correct?

Number one, San Diego used to be a Repug town back in the 70s. Not so much now or then. I lived there during that time until 84' and had property there till 2004. And the families didn't wait on Pt Loma but at North Island Naval Air Station. And when Bush landed you couldn't see the ship because flight-ops are not allowed unless you're at least past the curve of the Earth which is approx 25 miles. Usually flight-ops doesn't start till the ship is 50 miles from shore.
I think the crew appreciated the President landing and personally greeting them, eating chow with them before they went in. It takes all day for a carrier to hook up to the pier. First the Airwing hauls all of their shit off the ship, then Ship's Company finally gets to leave. When I was stationed on the Shitty Kitty it usually took 5 hrs or so after the afterbrow was raised.

I state the truth. Bin Laden was a figure head.....easily replaced by someone else...he was not the brains nor was he the one taking action.
We eliminate Bin Laden and the next loser steps up.
We eliminate the next loser and the next one steps up.
As Condoleezza Rice explained, Bush set the stage for taking out Bin Laden.
We do wish to thank Oblunder for not fucking it up!
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! Bush had seven years to set the stage for himself. He didn't do it. Why should one think that he had anything to do with what occured well into President Obama's term?

Who is the next loser to step up and take his place?
Does he have the global influence that Bin Laden had? How is Al Qaida doing in recruiting now that Obama has knocked off all their leaders?
I did respond! The aircraft carrier stunt was just that. A stunt.All this spinning is making me ill! Pass the dramamine!which was exactly why Bush was not overly concerned about his capture. He was well aware that all he did was take the creidt for it.

Sure....respond to what you want...
And ignore posts that prove you wrong...such as my response to your "GI Joe" post.

LOL Good question. Ask Obama how that works because other than getting Bin Laden, Obama's the first to tell you that EVERYTHING else was Bush's fault.

Now you want us all to ignore 11 years of history and suddenly believe that bin Laden was inconsequential! Why? Because a Democrat was the one who made the decision to loose the SEALS on him rather than a Republican!
