There was so much left to chance on the raid. They really didn't even know if Bin Laden was even there. Really, they were tracking a courier that, although had a really high chance of being that of BL, was still not a 100%. If one thing had gone wrong he'd have probably gotten away and Obama would have been blamed. When things go right for Obama the GOP is always there to look the other way, but when things go wrong... Like it or not, it took a lot of guts to make that call. |

On point. That 8 week war seemed to last just a tad longer. |

So your sick twisted liberal mind turns this comment into "I would not have ordered the strike on OBL"? This is why you liberals are the most fuked up people on earth. |

Romney said he wouldn't go looking for OBL. The President did, as promised. Hard to give the command if you don't do much to put yourself in the position necessary. |

This is why you liberals are the most fuked up people on earth.[/quote] You have failed reading and comprehension at the most basic level. What Romney is saying is he would not have even bothered to go after OBL. There would be no strike to be ordered on on OBL because he would still be at large. |

You're the one who mentioned large amounts of intel and rehearsal which obviously did not come cheap. Romney wouldn't have spent the coin, therefore there would never have been a strike to order. By the way, it's "fucked up". |

Why is anyone debating what Romney said in 2007? The guy can't even hold the same opinion for 5 days, let alone 5 years. |

It was a risky decision, with almost no public downside if he had not made; Obama choose to make the decision and it worked out. YES, he gets credit for making the right decision and for the success, just like he surely would have gotten the blame if it was a failure. I watched what happened to President Carter with the fail Iran attack, Carter was blamed as if he actually flew the helicopper...it's not always fair, but "heavy the head that wears the crown". |

Damn straight, he deserves credit. If Bush had ordered that raid and it had succeeded, the GOP would be carving his face into Mount Rushmore by now. |

+1. And Rush would be on the air everyday reminding us of the greatness of Bush. And so would Drudge. BTW anyone notice how partisan Drudge has become on the drudge website? Anything remotely negative about Obama is front and center on the website. The first lady and kids are not even off limits in his attempt to sling mud to see if any of it will stick. No pretense there. |

He's saying it's not worth going to war with every country that OBL moves to. Romney's already come out and answered the very question if he would have given the order and he replied "of course". Romney wasn't saying the intel community shouldn't go looking for him. So obviously all you liberals now support the war in Iraq. We went in there trying to move heaven and earth for one man. Now you're all saying it's worth ANY price to capture one wanted man. Hey everyone!!!!!! THE LIBERALS NOW SUPPORT THE WAR IN IRAQ!!!!!!! We knew with proper training you'd all come around. |

This doesn't make any sense. Are you getting Iraq mixed up with Afghanistan? You do realize that Iraq had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11, Al Qaeda, the Taliban, or OBL when we invaded. You do realize that Afghanistan was a war that Obama fully supported. You do realize that the war in Iraq is over and that liberals never supported it and still consider it a major mistake. On another point: Romney saying he would have given the order is hindsight. Now that everything worked out nicely, of course he'd have given the order. But at the moment Obama gave it the outcome was an absolute unknown and he was taking a astronomical risk. Fortunately, it paid off and now the right is complaining that it worked out so well. |

Yes I realize liberals are a bunch of two-faced, lying, phoney pieces of shit. Thanks for making my point |
