What a moron.

Agreed. I think all 23 of his viewers might disagree, though.

Look at me! Look at me! I have a TV show! Look at me!

That’s LOD. He’s trying to outcrazy Olby to get Olby’s audience back.

Is there really any point responding to this moonbat ? Nah ….

Man!!!!

You RIGHTIES ARE PU$$IES!!!

You guys can’t do ANYTHING RIGHT….ERRR, CORRECT!!!!

I’m just LOVIN’ THE FACT THAT OBAMA GOT OSAMA AND YOU GUYS HATE IT!!!

HILARIOUS CLOWNS!!!

it makes you wonder why with such good news, there can’t be more good cheer and less blame assigning from all sides?

THANK YOU FOR SAYING IT!!!

What a turd! Yup, i am sure Bush gave up pal. What a Dink.

Successfully hunting down bin Laden — so easy, a caveman could do it.

Which suggests that a Republican-controlled White House and Congress has the tenacity, perseverance, and intellect of a pre-neandertaal hominid.

Lawrence O’Hitler, errrrrrrr I mean Lawrence O’Stalin, uhhhhhh, no I mean Lawrence bin O’ laden, just shut the hell up you low IQ Moron! Sheeeeshh it is the same crap from you night after night after night. You haven’t a clue about anything, especially when it comes to covert activities. Draft Dodgers like you are better served in the Socialist Commie country of your choice. But, get the hell out of America, you antiAmerican imbecile.

The whole foundation for fighting Al-Queda was laid down during the Bush years. Were there mistakes made during that time, hell yeah, but to turn a blind eye on the successes as well just shows what shill for the party this guy is. Obama doesnt get the chance to OK this mission if not for his predecessor.

“O’Donnell turned his attention to former President Bush and relentlessly unloaded on him.”

hmmmm……there’s a joke here……

No one believes what Lary O says…not even Larry O.

Is that pussy Lawrence O’Donnell trying to grow a pair?

Say it with me. Attacked on Bush’s watch and killed the mastermind on Obama’s watch.

Lunatic

“it makes you wonder why with such good news, there can’t be more good cheer and less blame assigning from all sides?” Amen amen amen

Thx to Mediaite, I can read about Larry’s devolving derangement without having to actually watch it myself.

I have a mixed reaction over what O’Donnell is saying. It is true that Bush diverted valuable attention not to mention intelligence from Afghanistan and the war on terror including the search for Bin Laden to the war in Iraq which inadvertently created a fertile, new setting for Al Qaeda to emerge. It is untrue to imply that Bush stopped caring or wishing for the capture or death of Bin Laden. The search for Bin Laden and Al Qaeda operatives not to mention the entire war in Afghanistan became a far less present concern because of the war in Iraq. People need to remember that Iraq had turned into a raging civil war. Many members of the administration such as Condoleeza Rice were advocating a type of measured withdrawal. Very few troops and counter-terrorism operations remained in Afghanistan. The entire lifeblood of the military was diverted to the Iraq theater.
According to General Petraeus, Bush’s hero from Iraq, we did not have an effective strategy for confronting Afghanistan until the first year of the Obama administration. That’s one heckuva a blistering indictment. In Bush’s defense, the rosy expectations of victory and mission accomplished in Iraq did not materialize in 2003. It was never the intention of war planners to neglect Afghanistan moving most of the military into Iraq, but this was a necessary outcome after the poorly prepared invasion of Iraq.
Specifically related to Bin Laden, I would say the biggest nail in the coffin in the desire of some to praise Bush was his closing of the CIA center designed explicitly to search for Bin Laden. The escape from Tora Bora when we refused to secure the eastern border in Pakistan is probably the other major blow that historians will judge Bush harshly over in his pursuit of Bin Laden.
The bottom line is that we had not ceased searching for Bin Laden during the Bush administration; it was just made a far lower priority because of the raging civil war in Iraq. It was made the premier national security objective of Obama after he became president. Obama rightfully deserves the bulk of the credit.
The desire and will to capture or kill Osama was there while Bush was president, but it was not matched by the personnel and strategy capable of executing a successful outcome. Indisputably, the administration of Bush failed where the administration of Obama garnered success.

Here is a link what I believe historians may judge to be the most embarrassing fact over the failure of Bush to capture or kill Bin Laden.

Actually, Khalid Sheik Mohammed was the mastermind. When Bush left office, he was on trial after several years of having Democrats attacking the military commissions. Obama stopped that trial as soon as he took office and 2.5 years later, it still hasn’t started. What’s up with that?

If Kerry *had* been elected, at least one good thing would have come of it: we wouldn’t have had to sit here and listen to the tripe coming out of this effing shitstain’s mouth.

To the Modern Liberal, people like Khalid are victims. …victims of Western Civilization, America and our system that produces success.

We can see how hard it was for Obama to actually make the decision. It took him 16 HOURS: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1383010/Osama-Bin-Laden-dead-Obama-took-16-hours-make-mind.html#ixzz1LJkz0f2d

Some people say that Panetta finally made the decision.

WillP – to state the obvious, New York Times sophistry has low value. Maybe you can consider this: if Obama had been President from 9/11, 2001 through to 2008, would we have received the intelligence that led to us to eventually locating Bin Laden? It’s difficult to say either way, but the fact is that KSM would not cooperate and was silent prior to water-boarding. Democrats severely chastised GWB for using enhanced interrogation, and maybe some reflection is now required on all sides.

A wiser President, one more experienced in world affairs, one more experienced in war . . . could have saved us from our over-reaction.

I’m sorry, Larry… what exactly are/were Mr. Obama’s “experiences” in world affairs and war?

I’m not sure, when it comes to Obama, that “experience” is the word you want to use.

TampopoLoco said:

You do realize that bin Laden actually attacked the United States a number of times PRIOR to 9/11, right? So I assume you have a lot of animus for the Clinton Administration, right? He’s as big a “failure” as Bush, right?

The bottom line is that the jury is still out over any connection between enhanced interrogation practices and information related to the operation. There is a lot of smoke right now. This has quickly become a partisan, political issue. Representative King of New York and former vice president Cheney made a connection to water-boarding while the head of the CIA among others have disavowed any connection. As for your hit on New York Times, I know it is dogma for republicans to smear the New York Times yet, it remains the leading newspaper of investigative journalism in America if not the world.

That’s not true.

QUOTE:
Brian, in the intelligence business you work from a lot of sources of information and that was true here… It’s a little difficult to say it was due just to one source of information that we got… I think some of the detainees clearly were, you know, they used these enhanced interrogation techniques against some of these detainees. But I’m also saying that, you know, the debate about whether we would have gotten the same information through other approaches I think is always going to be an open question.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/05/03/panetta_open_question_if_waterboarding_helped_find_bin_laden.html

Panetta said waterboarding WAS used, and DID provide information. He’s just not confident that they wouldn’t have gotten that information from other people, or without the waterboarding. But that’s not the same thing as “disavowing any connection” to waterboarding in this case.

Me no read blog post or comments. Me just know Crazy Larry just that: crazy. Him thoughts belong next to National Enquirer and Soap Digest. Me no partisan conservative either, quite liberal actually even though me claim independent status. Probably why me dislike Crazy Larry so much, him misrepresent mucho lot. Maybe him double agent?

Once again, MSNBC uses the elimination of bin Laden as a chance to score points against Republicans. Then again, MSNBC manipulates EVERY news story EVERY day in order to score points against Republicans. That’s why they didn’t cover the 18,000 killed in the Japanese tsunami. They couldn’t find an anti-Republican angle on the story, so they just ignored it. Hard to believe, but that’s MSNBC for you….

In other words, this is a network of PROPAGANDISTS, not journalists. As they prove every hour of every day of every week.

Lawrence’s rabid left wing zealot fans especially enjoy when he beats up on former vice president Dick Cheney. As Larry really gets going they remove their trousers and beat dick right along with him.

I do.

“The last decade did not have to be a decade of war. The United States did not have to over-react to 9/11. A wiser President, one more experienced in world affairs, one more experienced in war . . . could have saved us from our over-reaction.”

Can’t we say that Bush utilized the Obama/Rham method here: “Never let a crisis go to waste”.

Not only did O’Donnell suggest Bush’s incompetence was the reason why America failed to kill Bin Laden sooner, but O’Donnell also claimed Bush publicly gave up on trying to find him.

Can’t Crazy Larry acknowledge that evidence and intelligence gathered during the Bush years helped lead them to OBL?

“Now is the time for the Bush-Cheney fanatics – the people who created the war on terror and who got so much of it wrong – to listen to John Kerry and to listen to President Barack Obama teach them how to fight terrorists.”

The people who created the war on terror? Is he forgetting that Saddam had attacked and murdered his own people? That OBL and Al Qaeda attacked and murdered 3000 people on 9/11. That Al Qaeda attacked and murdered Americans at WTC in 93, and on the USS Cole? Who started this *war*??

Given that some want Bush to get all the credit for developing the strategy to capture Bin Laden, and others like O’Donnell seem to want Bush to get none of the credit, it makes you wonder why with such good news, there can’t be more good cheer and less blame assigning from all sides?

Wasn’t it current US policy?

Also note that CBS’ Lara Logan forces Obama to concede that his oft-touted call to kill Osama bin Laden in Pakistani territory is actually current U.S. policy.

http://www.nationalreview.com/campaign-spot/9264/obamas-disastrous-interview-about-hunting-osama-bin-laden

Neither Bush or Obama should get all the credit. But Bush and his administration should get acknowledgement for their efforts – ones that Obama repeatedly attacked them over. The majority of the credit goes to the thousands of people on the ground, doing all the dirty work.

I agree there should be more good cheer, and less blame. Too bad there hasn’t been.

well that was a quoting debacle…

This creepy little shit, O’Donnell is not worth the effort to
insult him this morning.
Does COMCAST really NOT know why ratings suck?

Larry O is delusional…
My bet is that he will be off air by Xmas…

Liberal Lessons on Fighting Terrorism.
1. Don’t waterboard them (or deny that you did).
2. Take credit for the work of our troops.
3. Give them a 40 minute Muslim burial at sea.
4. Call Bush a terrorist but use his tactics.

Sure O’Donnel, why don’t you go back to teaching people how to be a socialist, you seem to be an expert on that.

All? How about any?

Thanks Davo, I can’t believe that bum (Obama) took 16 hours to make a decision. When the military comes to your office and tells you they’re ready to kill somebody, you give the order. You don’t waste 16 hours thinking about it. The military knows better, always.

“Now is the time for the Bush-Cheney fanatics – the people who created the war on terror and who got so much of it wrong – to listen to John Kerry and to listen to President Barack Obama teach them how to fight terrorists.”

Ok, so what is the lesson?

Oppose the War in Iraq, where we caught our informant.

Oppose “extreme rendition” sites, where the informant was interrogated, and oppose “extreme interrogation” which got us our information.

Oppose Warrantless wiretapping, which got us a narrowed down location, and more information.

Oh, and oppose a “lawless assassination squad” who actually finished it.

That’s the goal? To oppose every single step required for this to happen; but then when you have power do every single thing you opposed?

Ok, the “lesson” I’ve learned here is I need to call every action that works “evil’ and claim I’d never do anything like that, then do exactly those things, then claim it was all my idea that they worked even when I opposed them.

How that is “leadership” and not a psychotic break from reality; I’m not sure. It looks more like insanity than leadership to me.

Not according to the CIA Director, Leon Paretta:

“CIA Director Leon Panetta stomped on the White House’s political script when he told Tuesday night’s broadcast of NBC Nightly News that the waterboarding of jihadi detainees contributed information that led to the location and killing of Osama bin Laden.

“We had multiple series of sources that provided information with regards to this situation… clearly some of it came from detainees [and] they used these enhanced interrogation techniques against some of those detainees,” he told NBC anchor Brian Williams.

When asked by Williams if water-boarding was part of the “enhanced interrogation techniques,” Panetta simply said “that’s correct.”

…….

In his NBC interview where he said water-boarding was used in the interrogations that provided the data, Panetta did leave his colleagues in the administration a political fig-leaf. “Whether we would have gotten the same information through other approaches,” he said, “I think is always going to be an open question.”

I very prettily blushed while giving you a “thumbs up” on that one. ;)

Obama administration’s new enhancerd interrogation method: Give them a Big Mac and an order of fries…wait, to the SFran crowd that is torture…unless it’s a low-cal Happy Meal w/o a toy!

Larry and MSNBC would approve!

Hey ertdfg (what does that stand for), I agree 100% with what you wrote. You should blog, that was brilliant.

What’s amazing is how indecisive Obama really is. Think about it:

- many months to decide about Afghanistan to send in more troops.
- Egypt
- Libya
- and now getting Bin laden.

It doesn’t matter what Kerry actually said. The issue is political spin. Both side are guilty of it. It won’t be long until Obimbo’s henchmen are using this, out of context, to promote Obimbo. And the Obamacons will lap it up like the fools they are.
