them SEALs arent very covert 4 a covert operation. LOL! all those books, movies & high profile stuff they do. they got nerve talkin bout the prez. if they operated covertly, like DELTA, then i wouldnt complain.
As the great phylosopher Pogo said, "we have met the enemy, and it is us".
Thank you, Jackie. I will exercise the option of not voting to re-elect President Obama. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy

In our Political System, the President is the Commander in Chief.

He gets the credit for the successes, as well as the failures.

President Carter was made a laughing stock because of that failed plan to free the Iranian Hostages. If the plan to kill Osama had failed, It would have been blamed on President Obama.

He made the call, he gets the credit. If the American Electorate thinks he is crowing too loudly about it, they have the choice of not voting for him in November. Originally Posted by Jackie S

Reagan got credit for bringing home the Iranian hostages. You righties never take umbrage with that now do ya?
I don't recall the Reagan re-election camp making a campaign ad saying Walter Mondale wouldn't have brought the hostages home.....

Amazing, Bush isnt running for office, is no longer the POTUS, but as soon as Barrack fucks up it is run to Bush and hide. Originally Posted by The2Dogs

You people are truly beyond redemption.

Exactly. If the mission had been a disaster and several of the SEALS had been killed, who would be using the death of the Navy SEALS as a campaign issue?

Why, Whirlaway, and COG, and IB Hankering, and Dali Lama, and JD Barleycorn of course. And let's not forget, Mitt Romney.

And admittedly, if it were reversed, Democrats would use it against Republicans too.

And i've got a gazzillion bucks that says that if the Iraq War was a smashing success, that John McCain would have used Obama's initial opposition to it as campaign fodder. You know, just like they did with Obama's opposition to "The Surge".

Odumbo worked against the war effort while in the Senate. Odumbo campaigned against the war while running for the presidency. NOW Odumbo wants to use the war to win re-election!?! Odumbo is a lying hypocrite, Doofus. Plus, the narrator -- Slick Willie -- of Odumbo's crappy commercial completely FAILED to deal with bin Laden while he was in office: Slick Willie expressing doubt about Romney's resolve? Fucking boundless hypocrisy!!!

They all lie I B! GWB was not suppossed to care for nation building. The reality is that we a a warring nation. Our military industrial complex needs war for growth. All Presidents will run into that reality. Didn't take Obama long to be converted! LOL

Again, that's what made Odumbo's 2008 promises for 'Hope and Change' so laughable.
Romney never said any such thing.................




In fact, in 2007 Romney is ON TAPE saying just the opposite .."move everything to get him".....

That is what we have come to expect when we elect Democrats or Republicans. We need to quit electing them. We need to quit buying the lie that they are the only ones who can be elected. Then, and only then, will we be able to restore our republic to the greatness it once had.
