Obama killing Osama has a weird ring to it.

His news broadcast preempted The Apprentice too. A very satisfying day for Obama, I'm sure.

Barack "Barry Badass" Obama

Obama had nothing to do with finally killing that bastard.
The men & women of your military were going to get him one way or the other.
Obama just happened to be lucky enuff to be the President when it finally happened.
And how convenient that he got him just when it was about time to start working on his
Re-election campaign...

Man, good thing he and the govt pulled their heads out of their asses a few weeks ago
And didn't let the govt and military go into a shutdown; would've been pretty shitty
Trying to explain how well our military did FOR FREE

So the orders to go into that compound and get him didn't come from Obama? Who then?

Isn't he your Commander in Chief? Should you be talking like this?

Like i said, he just happened to be in office when this opportunity arose...
This says NOTHING about his ability, or lack there of actually, to run this country...

Hahahaha! Good one Carlitto... you crack me up man.

Did Trump's comedy team write that for you, or did you make it up yourself?

Calling your bullshit. You would have been blowing your wad along with the Faux Five if this had happened under Dumbya's watch.

It didn't. Obama was right on top of this one.

[Rockindeano]

What a bullshit thing to say. He made THE call! He chose to risk US soldiers lives! Oh but let me guess, he is not an American loving guy, right, so why the Hell would he care?

The men & women of your military were going to get him one way or the other.

Really? I had money on the Belgians bringing OBL to justice. Dude, are you on dope? And by the way, women do not participate in combat, you should know that! Not taking a single thing away from female soldiers, just giving you proper military protocol.

Obama just happened to be lucky enuff to be the President when it finally happened.

Boy, you military folk sure as Hell suck the dick of the right don't you? What a pathetic sentence you just wrote. I just lost a lot of respect for you Carl.

And how convenient that he got him just when it was about time to start working on his
Re-election campaign...

The campaign is 20 months out. You take the shot when you get a shot. How fucking dare you talk about YOUR COMMANDER IN CHIEF like this. What a crock of shit. However, you may be correct here- Obama was just re-elected last night.

Man, good thing he and the govt pulled their heads out of their asses a few weeks ago

And if you did your homework, ie, watch the fucking news and read a Goddamned newspaper, it was YOUR beloved right wing faction who was Hell bent on shutting down the government over Family planning issues(See abortion). You have got to be kidding me with this garbage post?

The President of the United States, YOUR commander in chief, is solely responsible for this elimination taking place. he pulled the trigger. But let me guess, George W Bush didn't have this clean of a shot did he? He had nearly 8 years to do this job, something that "pussy liberal Nigger accomplished" in just two years! You piss me off with this post. And if you feel the need to question my post, go back and archive President George W Bush saying and I quote, "I don't know where he is. To be honest with you, I don't think about him much often." Care to comment on this fabulous quotation?
What the fuck is up with you military folk? Why the need to lean right at all costs? Can you not think for yourselves? And before you come back on me, fuck you- I served in the US Army in the Gulf War, so you might as well stop typing; I know what you are about to say before you say it.

[S2M]

^^^^^nice to have you back....

I guess you can't fucking count....

[Carlitto H@kk]

To Deano and everyone else that didn't like my comment,
You all entirely missed my point...

I am neither left nor right, republican nor demorcrat; just wnat the best man for the job in office.
I can honestly say I'm not really impressed with the Obama admin (wasn't too happy under G-dub either).

My point is most people are gonna hail Obama a hero and great president just because of this.
ANY president would have done the same thing once all his advisors and military strategist came
To him with the intel and planning. ANY president would have seen that a great plan like this
Had to be executed and done immediately.

Great, so Obama got one thing done right so far...
My point is that I hope MILLIONS of voters out there don't just cast their ballots
For a re-election after this historic event...

As for my comment about the shutdown, again, neither right nor left, dem or rep...
BOTH parties almost screwed the pooch on this one, and I just think Obama could've done
More to have it all resolved sooner...

No one missed your point(s) You said more than once that "Obama had NOTHING to do with this. He just happened to be in office when it happened."
No one is trying to give Obama the triumph card, but if you think he did NOTHING, then you are smokin some good shit ...
Could he have done this all by himself, of course not.
It was all a team-effort with him as the commander.
Its like saying Joel Quenneville just HAPPENED to be there last year when Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup and it was ALL made possible by the team and he had NOTHING to do with it.

[Pelata]

I'm not an Obama hater, but signing the order to go in and take Bin Laden would have been signed by ANY president sitting in the chair...Hilary, McCain, Romney, Palin, Paul...doesn't matter...that's an order that was going to get signed period.

[Carlitto H@kk]

Ridiculous analogy, B.
You think the President, ANY President, is out there "Coaching" his troops, or sitting around with all his military advisers and coming up with grand schemes and "plays"?
Really? An opportunity arose, all of his military advisers and strategists gathered the intel, put plans on the table, and briefed the President... I'm sure like anyone would do, Obama asked a lot of questions, and really went over every detail to ensure that the plan they chose was the most effective with the least chance of damage and casualties to our soldiers and innocent civillians in the area.

But I am really not bashing Obama like you all think... I am just not too thrilled with him as a President, and hope that this ONE significant accomplishment isn't the only thing people are thinking about come election time. Who knows, maybe Obama will be the best of the two when the time comes. If so, I'll take the lesser of two evils.

And Deano, bash away. I know you served in the past, and I truly respect that. However, are you telling me that in all the time you served you were ALWAYS happy and behind the President that was serving? Never was unhappy with the administration you served under or had doubts on their abilities? You really think that just because Obama is presently "my boss" that I am supposed to support him and like him unconditionally? I can question him or his motives or abilities anytime I choose. I have that right just like any other American has, military or not.

The goverment and tax payers don't pay you to think like this. Your job is to do your job and not question those in ocmmand. I'm not personally a huge Obama fan,
but I have to give him this one....job well done! He ordered to hit on OBL, based on the intelligence that had been coming to him for some time. GWB would have just gone off shooting and most likely bombed out the whole town, killing many innocent civilians in the process. This was almost surgical in the way it was done.

Youre not thrilled with the president, get over it, he is in charge and he is doing the best he can do clean up the huge mess he left behind. Just like you dont like him, doesn mean he doesnt deserve ANY credit at all for the killing of Osama.
Obama made some crucial decisions. I bet if this mission have gone south, then you would put all the blame on HIM because he is the one who gave the OK!

B, you're right, Obama does deserve some credit. But just "some", and not enuff to blind people when election time comes.
That's all I'm saying.

And you're VERY wrong thinking I would blame a President for a "Military" mission gone wrong. I'm in the military, as you all know since I am getting blasted for not completely supporting "my boss", and have seen a handful of missions go wrong, missions you will never hear about. He ok's the execution of significant missions like this, but the success or failure relies solely on the men & women who actually planned everything, and the men & women who actually carry it out. Had this been a failure, and US soldiers and innocents lost their lives, I wouldn't question Obama or blame him; I would question and blame those who put the plan together and wonder if they acted prematurely, never gathered all the facts, or if it was a great plan poorly executed... Kinda like Quennville having a power-play and his team giving up a short-handed goal... gonna blame him or the players on the ice?

I see your points pretty clearly C.H., not sure why others are jumping all over you. Pretty sure if this had happened in the last year of GWB's last term, they (Obama supporters) would have the same view points, they would just never admit that now, lol.

I dont think there were many if any Obama supporters during GWB's term!

I think Bush Sr was one of the best presidents we ever had! He was smart and he handled things wisely. His son was the exact opposite. I dont choose "sides" based on party. I give credit where it should be given. Obama gets some credit for being part of the operation that lead to killing BinLaden. So the original comment by Carl "Obama had nothing to do with this" is utter BS !

Good thing Bush, Rumsfeld, and Cheney water boarded Sheik Khalid Muhammed, eh

Bottom line, to get this button pushed on this toad Barrack basically went with everything he campaigned against and it worked.

The unilateral strike was straight out of the Bush Doctrine, and CBS' Lara Logan got Obama to admit as much:

Logan: Isn’t that the case now? I mean, do you really think that if the U.S. forces had Osama bin Laden in their sights and the Pakistanis said no, that they wouldn’t fire or wouldn’t go after him?

Obama: I think actually this is current doctrine. There was some dispute when I said this last August. Both the administration and some of my opponents suggested, well, you know, you shouldn’t go around saying that. But I don’t think there’s any doubt that that should be our policy, and will continue to be our policy.

Logan: But it is the current policy.

Obama: I believe it is the current policy.

Logan: So there’s no change then.

Obama: I don’t think there is going to be a change there.

I think that he (Obama) and other administration officials realized that you simply do what it takes when the opportunity arises. Clinton passed on numerous chances and we had to play hide and seek with this maniacal asshole for 20 years because of it. Obama's unilateral authorization was absolutely the right thing to do and he deserves credit for that. Fuck Pakistan.

[Don]

Time for me to weigh in here. I see a military man, whose sig and avatar make his affiliation quite obvious swiping at the Commander in a forum viewable by millions. That is unacceptable. Fuck 'your rights'. The military isn't a democratic institution. We do things that no democracy can (publicly) tolerate. Hacking off a militia man's head and displaying him on the front of our humvee to show our displeasure in locals dragging our troops bodies through the street is not the action of a democratically run organization. But it needed to be done. Our Chief saying last August we are going to hunt down Obama and KILL him (not capture him, not bring him before a court), not the actions associated with Lady Liberty or the Constitution but again, it needed to happen and it did. What you say to your friends in the confines of your home or in a private setting is your business but when you bring it out here in the open while in uniform, That's when I have an issue with you. I wasn't to pleased with Clinton when he became top dog and of course there were rumblings amongst the ranks but that was just it rumblings. If my displeasure with my leader is too the point I feel the need to stain the uniform in a public forum, then it's time to retire. To try to spin your post after the fact, to bring up the budget or how it's just an order being signed that any president would have done, you totally shit on Team six and the guys that had to go in there and do the deed. If they had failed, the president would have taken the heat for it just like he is entitled to for their accomplishment. Be be it Bush, Clinton or Obama or even fucking Carter, making the command to have this happens takes guts and for whoever's watch it happened on, the accolades should be the same.

The gist here is, you've done your 20 years. If you don't like your commander and chief, then retire. If you want to continue to wear the uniform then shut the fuck up already about what a terrible boss you have.
