I am amused. My world is not affected my their ignorance.
bush gets no credit for the economic mess after one Obama was in office, but he shares half the credit for a plan built and chosen by Obama and his hand picked team.
Its classic conservative thinking.
If its good its GOP's terrotory somehow. If its bad, it HAS to be the liberals fault, cause conservatives believe , seroiusly, that they can do no wrong.
Ok well the vehemence must just be your online persona. Nobody can become that angry and not be affected. Just my humble opinion.
The point i made initially was that this is not over. Which has been somewhat agreed to in this and other threads if not directly after I posted it. The response i received was that I hate Obama and refuse to do this or that. I feel very confident in saying I do more for Obama every day amongst conservative ideology than every post on this board combined.
And yes I see the absolute lunacy with which the fringe is reacting because a democrat was at the helm. Everything from we should have captured him with daisies to Obama didnt give the order. It is truly sad. I do not believe that lunatic fringe anymore than i believed half of the lunacy surrounded the Bush Presidency.
Some have ascribed my loyalty to this country and its system as required because of my oath in the past in some sort of apology for my opinions in regards to Bush and in regards to Obama. Let me tell ya a man makes the oath and not the other way around.
Finally do you know what has changed in the execution of the job where it is actually being done from Bush to Obama?
Nothing.
A significant change occurred after the reign of Rummy but that is another story.
No...
Today Donald Rumsfield confessed that waterboarding or "enhanced interrogation" didn't lead to the courier's capture. The source is Faux News too. (

And...
In 2002, Bush said he doesn't worry or "spend too much time thinking about him." That him is Bin Laden.
Straight from the dolt's mouth.

Your move.
To be honest LL when that statement was made I whole heartedly defended it and I do to this day. That is not to say that the elimination of Osama bin Laden is insignificant or to downplay any achievement of this Presidency and his national security team. It is simply a fact.
The fact is we have much more to do in that region than simply kill one man. It is not the end of that organization by design. We would be severely derelict in the duty we assumed when we invaded and prove to the folks there that we are simply shallow. One country, one city, one village and indeed one heart and soul at a time will cement our devotion to a stable successful sovereign state. What's more with that tact the people will become more empowered and much more capable of sustaining that freedom and dignity if they feel they have a root interest in doing so.
So was bin Laden important and did it feel good. Your damn right. However the focus is not one man it is the condition in which that man was given the opportunity to win the hearts and minds of the youth and then bring terrible pain upon all he touched.
Dare I say that the actions he took after we focussed uponj his organization was one of the main ways the people of this generation learned of his true nature. The ruthless manner in which he killed not only the satan but the muslim peoples alike? Where and how would that have been displayed so clearly.
No I am of a very different opinion as you all well know. History will look back upon these last ten years not with the bleeding eye so many are convinced will be the judgement. I think it will be quite different. However that was two Presidents not one. One who had either the courage or the lack of intelligence to start this process and knowingly become a scourge in the process. And indeed one who had the strength and courage to continue that fight.
This is a damn good thing but my soapbox is asking for quarters.
