Not sure why it's taking Obama so long to announce it... Originally Posted by TexasFlip

MAJOR props to SEAL Team 6 for a job well done.

whatever, it does not change how I feel about him as our President. I am more proud of our troops that risked their lives to do the job not the politician sitting comfy in the oval office making a no brainer call.

I'm proud of the troops too. But if their mission would have not worked, Obama would have taken the heat. Remember Jimmy Carter and the Iranian hostage rescue fiasco.

Isn't it 10 yrs to the day since Bush said "Mission Accomplished" ??
Do you think Barry announced today "just because" ?? Originally Posted by TallGuy6

as much as I do not like Obama, I would not have blamed Obama if it failed. I think those that would have would have been called out for it. it was known already that US Special Forces were in Pakistan unofficially hunting for Bin Laden. I am sure the US was not the only country there hunting for him. we are at war still, so a mission like this is not really comparable to Jimmy Carter's ineptness. I will give the President a kudos for making a call anyone one of us would have done or would like to been able to done, except those anti war folks that still think we can use diplomacy with terrorists.

Nevertheless, history in the making. The last time I felt this good about a historical event was when the Berlin wall came down back in '89.

Not as pretty as seeing Saddam being pulled out of a spider hole but it appears that hide away was lacking in hot water and a razor...
