I'm reading the statements they released right after the news. I haven't watched TV so maybe they changed their tune. The fact of the matter is a lot of them are downplaying Obama's role as if he was merely a figure head not the commander in chief.

re: Bin Laden Killed

In your link, under Boehner's picture his quote directly praises Pres. Obama.

Quote:
Eric Cantor (D) (slide 9 from Saden's link)
I commend President Obama who has followed the vigilance of President Bush in bringing Bin Laden to justice.

John Boehner (R) (slide 5 from Saden's link)
I also want to commend President Obama and his team, as well as President Bush, for all of their efforts to bring Osama bin Laden to justice.
Anyway, unfortunately, I am sure many politicos will end up politicizing what should be recognized as an excellent example of US pursuit of an enemy throughout competing administrations, and a demonstration of the strength and resilience of US society.

Me, I just wanna stick to conspiracies, they are more fun anyway

You are right, props to the majority leader john boehner. I love the fact obama said no to just bombing the place to hell and actually sending the seals....that's leadership.

That was done to prevent the killing of innocent people because it was in the middle of town. I think we really need to question our relationship with Pakistan.

Regardless, it was in fact the right decision, and good leadership.

From what I read there were women and children in the compound he was in that they didn't want to harm. They also wanted a body left to assess whether they got him or not.

Musharraf: Bin Laden mission violated Pakistan - Washington Times

Is this asshole for real?

Quote:
“American troops coming across the border and taking action in one of our towns, that is Abbottabad, is not acceptable to the people of Pakistan. It is a violation of our sovereignty,” Mr. Musharraf told CNN-IBN, an Indian news channel.
Guess what jackass, neither is harboring a terrorist that killed 3,000 of our people. A bunker right down from a military compound, and this clown has the nerve to say anything. I think the American people would like to tell you to "Go **** yourself!"

re: Bin Laden Killed

There were a few that went out of their way to not mention President Obama in their congrats or gave credit to Bush, if you can believe that.

Anyway, who cares - this a great day for America. The hundreds of families who lost loved ones in 9/11 can finally close this horrible chapter and move on as best as they can. I'm mostly happy for them - and if only for a mili-second America feels truly united today.

You and Saden must have your own news network that you watch. I had no clue this went down until this morning. I watched CNN, Fox, the local 3 ch and MSNBC. Everyone I saw interviewed or spoke on the issue gave Obama credit. I only heard one person that said he thought Obama did a good job carring on Bush's policies (something to that affect).

Agreed, I haven't seen anything on CNN or MSNBC about any politician from the GOP not giving Obama any credit.

On a more lighthearted note, I wonder if Trump wants to see the death certificate.
