Obama gets ripped by special forces for politicizing death of OBL.

I think Bush was hoping, he knew Iraq was all his. Mission Accomplished was all about relief.

Obama had nothing at all to do with bin laden, except of course he made that weighty decision to give the order. I bet a blunt was in order after that one.

I wish that is all Obama would have said, it would have been much more statesman like.

Obama never took a class in statesmanship - just community organization and the blackmailing of corporations.

Of course, until he releases his college records we will never know for sure. :D
 
The leaks are a problem. The lack of being able to keep things secret is a problem. However, I don't really see where Obama himself has taken sole credit for the operation. What I've seen is the leftist media giving him credit as if he carried out the operation himself. The media has politicized it. What else would you expect from these loons in the media? I give Obama, his adminstration, and the troops involved credit for a team operation that turned out well. The leaks...another story altogether.
 
White House Press Office says 0bama takes all credit.

"I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority...(Applause)

"I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden...(Applause)

"I met repeatedly with my national security team...(Applause)

"I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation...(Applause)

"Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation...(Applause)

As the head of the US military Obama does deserve credit for OBL,he could have taken the republican approach

Taken from his speech:
Tonight, we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who've worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome. The American people do not see their work, nor know their names. But tonight, they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.
We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism, and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country. And they are part of a generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day.

So we take this little snip out of the entire speech we see nohting but "we".

More from his speech:
And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network.

Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden. It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground. I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan. And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.

Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.


A lot of I did this and that, but is it really him taking credit? I don't think so. He is acknowledging it was on him to make the decision. Well, it was. He is saying it was his job to lead. It is! Last line, "they killed Osama Bin Laden". They, not I.

Plenty of things to blast the president about. This is not even on the list of any thinking, unbiased person.

Since no one familiar with the matter has chimed in. If you are in the Military, who is your boss?
 
Quote from Max E. Pad:

Uh ohhh

Group of special forces people put together a PAC and this video, and are expected to start throwing out ads ripping Obama for politicizing OBL raid, and costing them valuable intelligence secrets by leaking them in order to gain votes.

At one point in the video a NAVY Seal tells obama to shut up and quit trying to take credit for OBL raid, and quit leaking military secrets, Bill Cowan, (forget his rank) says "if i had one piece of advice for this administration it would be shut the fuck up." this is going to be bad for Obama.

This is really Obamas only accomplishment in his first term, and its about to be torn to shreds.....
