And water is wet....
Point is many are rushing to take credit from the President. Give credit where credit is due. But that hurts the whole "being weak on terrorism" talking point. Remember that?
As we all know, I usually try to keep the discourse civil around here, but I'm going to have to make an exception.
I have two words for all you assholes that politicized 9/11, the war on terror, the war in Iraq, and whose leader "Spiked the Football" on a fucking AIRCRAFT CARRIER half a decade before "operations in Iraq" were over:
Fuck You.
Seriously. I have no patience for this bullshit. You people can seriously go fuck yourselves on this one.
You chased Bin Laden around for a decade and FAILED.
Obama, while acting as commander in chief, got him, and that just pisses you assholes off to no end, doesn't it?
This utter hypocrisy is just UNBELIEVABLE.
Seriously, out of all the shit you've pulled in the past, this one just takes the cake.
So, in summary:
Stop whining, and STFU already.
Only Bush is allowed to politicize military victories - and we're not allowed to point it out.
It is YOUR standard. Not ours, you retards demanded it end under Bush now suddenly it is all flowers and smiles? HYPOCRITE.
We "demanded" it end under Bush?
Odd then that it went on, continuously, for 7+ years...
I hope he continues to "spike the football" all the way until election day. It is not going over very well.....Of course the ass sniffing sycophants will applaud and defend his every utterance. But the rest of the country- especially moderates and independents- see it as desperate and classless.
Yeah, saying I got Osama Bin Laden will hurt him....In opposite world
Well...lets look at it this way....
He championed against waterboarding as it was inhumane.
He championed against GITMO as it was inhumane.
Now, seeing as he has been president for nearly 4 years....I find it IRONIC that he chooses the killing of a man in front of his family without a trial as the thing he wants to brag about and campaign about.
Yeah...I would say it makes him look bad.

they have nothing else.
and we know how dishonest they are. if bush had done exactly what the president did, they'd have said he was "tough on terrorists". it's making them crazy that they don't have the issue they love so much.
Obama can politicize this all he wants but i reserve the right to bitch and complain about it just as liberals did when bush did mission accomplished.
Saddam was equally if not more dangerous than bin laden and so were saddam's two disgusting pervert creep sons. So as I see it, it's 3 to 1. Bush killed more bastards than Obama.
Bush didn't put up the "mission accomplished" Banner, that put up by the sailors on that ship and their mission was accomplished Bush always credited the military he did say I did this, I did that.
he didnt ask to have it taken down either. Just turned a "blind eye" but nice try.
To imply that his apponent would or would not have done the same (or something different) is off base
"I do not concur in the words of Barack Obama in a plan to enter an ally of ours... I don't think those kinds of comments help in this effort to draw more friends to our effort," Romney told reporters on the campaign trail.
Obama on Wednesday said if elected president in November 2008 he would be willing to launch military strikes against al Qaeda targets inside Pakistan with or without the approval of the Pakistani government of President Pervez Musharraf.
"If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will," Obama said.
Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who is one of the Republican front-runners, said U.S. troops "shouldn't be sent all over the world." He called Obama's comments "ill-timed" and "ill-considered."
"There is a war being waged by terrorists of different types and nature across the world," Romney said. "We want, as a civilized world, to participate with other nations in this civilized effort to help those nations reject the extreme with them."

Is it? (BTW it's a hoot that mudmissile would thank this post considering he's the board expert at implying and/or flat out saying what insert Obama or any other Democrat/someone identified as left wing
would say or do in a given situation.)

Yup....you'd eat a mile of Obama's shit just to get close to him.
Looks like nothing he does is out of bounds.
Once again the left doesn't get it. It has nothing to do with politizing a victory, it's the way he did it. To imply that his apponent would or would not have done the same (or something different) is off base

Talk about insulting! Asking them to take it down would have been the ultimate insult. I can't believe you would even suggest such a thing. That is something that TDM would suggest, not someone like you.
Immie
At his news conference yesterday, President Bush said the decision to put a "Mission Accomplished" banner on the aircraft carrier where he gave a speech following the invasion of Iraq in 2003 was a "mistake."
It was not his mistake, however, according to CBS News political analyst Dan Bartlett, a former senior advisor to Mr. Bush. Asked this morning by Harry Smith, co-anchor of CBS' The Early Show, who was responsible for the banner Smith pointed out that both the Navy and former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan have taken the blame in the past Bartlett said that it was actually his call.
Thats the reasoning behind everyone who doesnt have a reason for nitpicking. "Its not what you said its how you said it".
And water is wet....
Point is many are rushing to take credit from the President. Give credit where credit is due. But that hurts the whole "being weak on terrorism" talking point. Remember that?
I think the Pro-War crowd is happy with Obama's performance, how could they not be?
That's why the discussion has shifted to the economy.
I wouldn't say that they aren't talking about it because they are happy with his performance.
I would actually argue that they are not talking about it because they are not happy with the fact that they cannot use it against him.

Either you have your head in the sand, or waited for Rush to tell you what to think about the agreement signed yesterday. It draws down our troops and passes security responsibility off to the Afghan forces. The pro-war crowd hates that.
We had no terrorist attacks here at home after 9/11/01 while Bush was POTUS.
How many have there been since Obama has been in charge?
actually according to the right back when clinton was president our embassies and bases counted as american soil. based on the fact that these were attacked on W's watch how did he actually keep us safe?
Furthermore, based on the argument from rightwingers in this very thread who argued that it's all part of the president's job and that obama shouldn't be thanked for doing his job then w deserves no credit for doing his job. LOL
Clinton did nothing to defend this country when it was attacked by Al Queda, and he also let Osama Bin Laden go.

im not the one who has a problem with this. You guys were the ones having a problem with it. Bin Laden was gotten under Obama's watch. Id be surprised if he didn't brag about it.
But you guys are fools if you think that ends the war on terror or that really matters when the economy is going to hell.
Osama bin Laden instructed top Al Qaeda operatives to try to kill President Barack Obama and Gen. David Petraeus during any visit they made to Afghanistan or Pakistan but to avoid attacking Vice President Joe Biden because the group thought chaos would ensue if Biden assumed the presidency, according to documents seized during the U.S. raid that killed bin Laden in Pakistan a year ago.
The groups will remain on the lookout for Obama or Petraeus. The reason for concentrating on them is that Obama is the head of infidelity and killing him automatically will make Biden take over the presidency for the remainder of the term, as it is the norm over there, bin Laden wrote in the undated letter released Thursday by the U.S. government. Biden is totally unprepared for that post, which will lead the US into a crisis.
