True, but just as the man in charge gets blamed when shit goes bad, you also get credit when stuff goes right. That's just the way it is

He isn't dead, he is alive and well in a top secret interrogation room.

It's an interesting possibility but I doubt it for a couple of reasons. One, he said, and I tend to believe he meant it, that he'd never be taken alive by Americans. He was surrounded by guards instructed to kill him if it looked like that was a serious possibility. Secondly, he's apparently bene cut off from any real "shot calling" for a long time so he wouldn't really have known all that much anyway. This is all just pure speculation of course. I'm just curious to see what the reactions will be. FWIW, while I have HUGE criticisms for American foreign policy, targeted assassination of terrorist heads who plotted or otherwise bank rolled/supported attacks is legit and if we had stuck to just that the whole time, we'd probably be a lot better off generally right now. For that matter, we might have had him a long time ago. But whatever, it's done.

It's just politics. Stand by for some fantastically amusing posturing from all corners.

Would you leave your home alive if they came to take you? I know I wouldnt

Like GWB, or any other president would have?

He is the commander in chief, so technically he was the one who pulled the trigger.


What I do find amusing is that while GWB used the threat of 'terrists' to severely retard the growth of America while grossly enlarging his and his cronies personal fortunes, the new administration finds the guy and takes him out. Maybe now we can get on with shit instead of chasing boogie men in caves.

It didn't take ten years to find him and kill him, it took two years, but yeah whatever...

Any President would have said the exact same thing. If you think otherwise, you're being a partisan hack.

Are you arguing no effort was made until two years ago and that all prior action was a pretense for presence throughout the ME? Well then, are we coming home this week? Then I'd be impressed.

The more interesting point is that rather contrary to campaign rhetoric, Obama has carried on, and very arguably expanded Bush doctrine or a "freedom is on the march" attitude in places like Libya. Where, incidentally, we are via Nato effectively flying air cover for elements of Al Qaeda who cut their teeth fighting in Iraq. So much for consistency.

BTW, to say I'm indifferent to either party is a bit of an understatement. I'm only making observations on policies and actions regardless of who does them.
