This was a victory for the Bush doctrine that Obama said was a failure before he got into office, but continued once he was in the hot seat.

larry is a clown and a carnival barker

I like Lawrence O’Donell and enjoy his show, but I have to agree that he went too far with this and that it is too soon to make this assessment. He really needs to tone it down somewhat, but c’mon, this is just too much.

This guy’s got a rusty plate in his head and a pile of day old ____ in his pants. He is the most reprehensible POS on the planet. Humm, I guess that’s why the degenerate libs love him like a rock, oh baby…..

For once, I wish someone on MSNBC would take a second and enjoy something that is a triumph for both parties and collectively good for everyone in this country.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/05/02/hersh_olbermann_called_bin_laden_seal_team_assassination_ring_in_2009.html

Cue former MSNBC host (and forthcoming news host at Al Gore’s Current TV) Keith Olbermann. Olbermann pushed this story on his “Countdown” show in 2009, saying:

Mr. Hersh is making the revelations at a forum in Minnesota two nights ago. The topic: America’s constitutional crisis. Hersh saying of Mr. Cheney and his inner circle, quote, “They ran a government within the government.” Adding, “Eight or nine neoconservatives took over our country.”

Hersh’s bombshell allegations about the assassination ring, the result of reporting for a book he says might be still a year or two away from being published. Hersh is telling MinnPost.com in an email after the event, that the disclosures are, quote, “not something he wanted to dwell about in public.”

However, no sooner than two years later did Olby change his tune when the same squad that he called an “assassination ring” was responsible for the death of Osama bin Laden. On his “FOK News Channel” website, Mr. Olbermann now salutes these heroic individuals.

Bush gave up, Obama cleaned up.

O’Donnell, to many of those on the left who admire him, may have a point– just as those who have politicized the issue by arguing that it was the intense interrogation techniques at Guantanamo Bay that brought bin Laden to justice might, too.

How is that “politicizing the issue”? That IS the issue.

There’s one vote against term limits…

This is the same network who trashed SEALs when they took out other terrorists; when Bush was President.

This is the same network that threw a hissy fit when 9/11 tapes were played during the Republican National Convention.

this is the network that will politicize this event, this is the network that will make themselves completely obsolete with this obscene behavior.

This is the same man who had to be removed from msnbc air for having a mental meltdown during the Kerry campaign.

This is MSNBC – th enetwork that makes any and all right thinking people puke.

Apparently, it is a “great thing” if Obama violates Pakistani territory to assassinate the titular head of Al Quaeda and if Obama targets Gaddafhi for assassination, killing his son and three grandchildren, BUT his Attorney General Holder wanted to prosecute CIA officials for whatever and former Attorney General Gonzales and John Yoo for giving advice on waterboarding. Please, Libs, explain the difference- other than that Obama is a Democrat!

Nacho said:

You poor, benighted soul. Obama doesn’t have the competence to “clean up” anything.

Obama did the right thing by acquiescing to the take-down of UBL, but he wouldn’t have done it if his poll numbers were adequate. Did you ever see “Wag the Dog?”

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Now you’ve got it! This administration is competent whle Bush’s was impotent!

Give Mr. O’Donnell a break. It’s hard not to take a partisan angle on this story, when MSNBC’s marching orders to all hosts is to take a partisan angle on every story. Remember how they wouldn’t cover the 15,000 killed in the Japanese tsunami — because couldn’t find an anti-Republican slant to the story? The whole ethos of this network is spin, spin and more spin. So Mr. O’Donnell is simply doing what is expected here. Hey, it’s not like he’s a real journalist….

Introducing his program with the statistics on how long it took President Obama to capture Bin Laden versus Bush (831 days compared to thousands),”

Larry is a total fool. They got the intel during the Bush admin and then had to find one person out of the 7 billion in the world and it took ‘em 10 years and that’s to long for Larry.

Hey, Larry, if Bush operatives hadn’t got the couriers name, just how was Barry going to find UBL?

Answer that you rancid POS!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110502/ap_on_re_us/us_bin_laden_hunt_for_bin_laden

The revelation that intelligence gleaned from the CIA’s so-called black sites helped kill bin Laden was seen as vindication for many intelligence officials who have been repeatedly investigated and criticized for their involvement in a program that involved the harshest interrogation methods in U.S. history.
[Related: Key dates in the hunt for bin Laden]
“We got beat up for it, but those efforts led to this great day,” said Marty Martin, a retired CIA officer who for years led the hunt for bin Laden.

Wow now we have a brand new party NEOCON SOCIALISTS !

I wish this reptilian douche would criticize Islam so someone would behead him. Just look at that still shot they have of him, there is no way that guy is fully human. I don’t buy his mock outrage for a minute. He is a typical sanctimonious liberal colostomy bag.

Larry has that “you know I’m crazy” look. Rightly so as he’s confessed he’s a socialist. Larry – wrong country, man. head to China or Eastern Europe.

Also, Obama had to cut his Sunday golf game down to a mere nine holes so he could make it back to the White House in time to watch the streaming video of the SEAL team going into the compound.

Rio posted this at another thread.

It definitely bears repeating here considering the huge numbers of smoke and mirrors LOD used to lie thru his teeth tonight:

roxsteady said:
you’d have heard that the team that Bush had put together to get Bin Laden was disbanded in 2005

O’Donnell is not coming forth with the whole story, that’s just the same as lying:

Agency officials said that tracking Mr. bin Laden and his deputies remained a high priority, and that the decision to disband the unit was not a sign that the effort had slackened. Instead, the officials said, it reflects a belief that the agency can better deal with high-level threats by focusing on regional trends rather than on specific organizations or individuals.

“The efforts to find Osama bin Laden are as strong as ever,” said Jennifer Millerwise Dyck, a C.I.A. spokeswoman. “This is an agile agency, and the decision was made to ensure greater reach and focus.”
_____________

An intelligence official who was granted anonymity to discuss classified information said the closing of the bin Laden unit reflected a greater grasp of the organization. “Our understanding of Al Qaeda has greatly evolved from where it was in the late 1990’s,” the official said, but added, “There are still people who wake up every day with the job of trying to find bin Laden.”
____________

Intelligence officials said Alec Station was disbanded after Robert Grenier, who until February was in charge of the Counterterrorist Center, decided the agency needed to reorganize to better address constant changes in terrorist organizations.

Francis, I think this warrants a little update with the link to your article since it seems that you accepted LOD at his word and only commented on the unseemlyness without mentioning the factual sleight of hand by LOD.

Adolph Von O’Donnell is one angry, ugly, idiotic, imbecilic, moronic and very ignorant Socialist Commie. PMSnbc should fire his sorry rear asap. He is a big, Big, BIG liability to PMSnbc. What the hell is going on over there anyway? Bunch of idiot childish clowns that get to use a microphone for an hour at a time. Hell, we might as well go to the zoo where the entertainment value would be a bigger bang for the buck.

LOD… chronic malcontent. Liberal America… chronic malcontents

And in case some haven’t noticed it yet, Lawrence is a very ill person. Ill as in Mentally Ill and if Comcast cares they would get O’Donnell into a Mental Institution immediately. The guy is sick, sick, sick…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with everything he said about Bush (history won’t be kind to his administration). It’s the fixating on the recent past instead of worrying about the future that bothers me. Lean forward, Lawrence.

Obummer finally gets something right and we are supposed to pretend that all the other crappy stuff he shoved up our shorts never happened. Ask ten million people if they would trade Osama’s death for their old jobs back. Obama can coast on this for a little while but two weeks from now this will be old news.
He did take down Osama and for that I congratulate him but let’s ask ol’ Larry Boy how Afghanistan is going and who has had more casualties as CIC.

Bush was a terrible president. Let’s not forget that his administration’s great strategeric decision was to use the 9/11 attacks as a reason to run roughshod over the intelligence bureaucracy and actual facts, logic and reason.. instead following Cheney and the neoncons’ paranoia and crazy think tank ideas.. and losing many thousands of lives and trillions of dollars in Iraq. For what, I still don’t know. All we’ll get out of it is the House GOP using the resulting deficits as a reason to try and destroy what remains of the social safety net.

Obama 2012-2016

More Mediaite distortion and dishonesty. O’Donnell told the truth about what Bush said and did and what Obama said and did. Where is the journalistic integrity here? It appears to be non-existant.

Kudos to President Obama for this accomplishment. However, LOD presented just the information that he wants his audience to hear. At least he is consistent, right?

It was Bush’s CIA that discovered the courier and then finally nailed down his name — after 2005, and thanks in part to wiretapping (possibly warrantless, possibly not). It was also after 2005, in 2008 in fact, that the Times of London reported on a new joint push from the U.S. and UK to find and capture Bin Laden. They went looking in the wrong place, alas, but the interest was there.

Bush told CNN that he, too, would go after bin Laden during an interview with CNN two years earlier than Obama. I may have missed it, but did LOD mention that Obama told Katie Couric that killing or capturing Bin Laden, while preferable, wasn’t essential (January 2009)?

Here’s something to jog you back into an understanding that it’s 2011 and not the days of 2004 – the campaign trail clip at 2:20 which press secretary Jay Carney epitomized as the official rationale when asked at the press conference today to provide the administration’s legal precedence of our mission.

Oh, the lamentations we would have been exposed to from these same defenders of Obama had it been Bush that launched the op.

If that’s not enough to remind you what your reality is, you’ll never get it.

When referencing Lawrence, it’s important to describe him as a Socialist – because he says he’s one and people need to know that they are dealing with someone with an abnormal belief system.

I use variants like “Socialist Lawrence O’Donnell”, “Socialist Larry”, etc. Just make sure the Socialist word is used as we don’t people to think that he wants what normal people want.

They pretty much hate America and hate Western Civilization. Since they don’t really subscribe to morals or ethics, they say whatever they want, when they want.

Are you serious….???? You are not a real person rigtht? Trillions of dollars spent for what? Can you tell me what the trillions of dollars and tripling our national debt by Obama is for? What??? To bail out companies that were mismanaged? To give AIG all their bonuses??? Really??? How about the sweetheart insurance policies that the UAW still get while the rest of us pay for it. Wake up!!! Obama is bankrupting this country. Just because through excellence intelligence and military he got Osama everything is good. Yes, he will ride this one to and on his reelection campaign no doubt. But you can’t ignore the fact that he is driving this country to be on the brink of bankruptcy. Follow the fundamentals please. Do your research. Should we go back to the day when Clinton had Osama and let him go. Really???? I am glad we got him but it still doesn’t make him a great president. don;’t be blinded. My poor brother in law. 2 tours of duty and now unemployed due to all Obama’s cuts on the military but yet we fund organizations like UAW and bail out out GM.. Give me a break and learn basic economics would you???

When are You BUSH BASHERS going to wake up. Had it not bin for all the intelligence that
the Bush administration left for Obama Bin Laden would still be alive. Give it up. Obama is
the worst President in My life time. I am 66

Wow, mark my words, O’Donnell will regret he ever made this statement. I wouldn’t be surprised if Scarborough rips him, if not be name as Joe has in the past, when people at his own network have gone off the deep en. O’Donnel simply lied through his grotesquely partisan teeth…..and it’s effing shameful that Mediaite apparently doesn’t know it. From the NYT today……

“By 2005, many inside the C.I.A. had reached the conclusion that the Bin Laden hunt had grown cold, and the agency’s top clandestine officer ordered an overhaul of the agency’s counterterrorism operations. THE RESULT WAS oPERATION cANNONBALL, A BUREAUCRATIC RESHUFFLING THAT PLACED MORE CIA CASE OFFICERS ON THE GROUND IN PAKISTAN AND AFGHANISTAN.”

“WITH MORE AGENTS IN THE FIELD, the C.I.A. finally got the courier’s family name. With that, they turned to one of their greatest investigative tools — the National Security Agency began intercepting telephone calls and e-mail messages between the man’s family and anyone inside Pakistan. From there they got his full name.”

And, from Hotair…’It was Bush’s CIA that discovered the courier and then finally nailed down his name — after 2005, and thanks in part to wiretapping (possibly warrantless, possibly not)…..

O’Donnell also highlights the clip of Obama saying during one of the 2008 debates that we’d act inside Pakistan to grab OBL if the Pakistani government refused to. That’s great, but BUSH TOLD CNN THAT HE’D DO THE SAME TWO YEARS EARLIER. And shortly before he was inaugurated in January 2009, OBAMA TOLD KATIE COURIC THAT KILLING OR CATURING BIN LADEN, WHILE PREFERABLE, WASN’T ESSENTIAL.

No. Lawrence O’Donnell is the brown grease ( worst part of ) that drips from a turd.

Comrade O’Donnell forgets one big thing in his attack against Bush. If Bill Clinton had done something similar to Obama back when he had the chance in 1998 if successful would have avoided 9-11 from ever Occurring. However Clinton didn’t want to risk American lives and used missiles launched hundreds of miles away for the strike and missed bin laden.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise_missile_strikes_on_Afghanistan_and_Sudan_%28August_1998%29
Bin Laden would later always joke about it. Osama bin Laden jokingly told militants at the al-Jihad merger that only a few camels and chickens had died.[16]

Let’s give credit where credit is due. The special forces unit were no doubt inspired by the targets Sarah Palin put up on her web site — and that led to them taking out Osama bin Laden.

(The above is just as accurate as the 10,000 mainstream media stories trying to link Palin to a murder in Arizona.)

“That is what the white house decided they wanted Bush to say”? What is it with these liberals do they all think Bush was but a puppet?

This ugly, smelly, repulsive little Asshole O’Donnell is not even worth

MESSAGE FROM: L. O’ Donnell

Dear Viewers,

I promise to alway prepare your kool- aid just the way you like it. All I ask in return is that the 15 people who watch my show continue to keep me it the tight race for a distant second or third in the ratings. And please help me beat my MSNBC pal C. Mathiews because I’m not as crazy as him. Please be my friend.

“O’Donnell, to many of those on the left who admire him, may have a point– just as those who have politicized the issue by arguing that it was the intense interrogation techniques at Guantanamo Bay that brought bin Laden to justice might, too. But dedicating so much of a program about American victory to the partisan fabrication of American failure after last night feels at least a little too soon.”

How is pointing out what White House officials said about the intelligence gathered (under President Bush) and giving him deserved credit, as well as Obama, politicizing the issue? (which was reported by msnbc).

Isn’t NOT giving credit to the work done under the former administration, when it is being reported that the work there led to the killing of OBL, politicizing the event?

“After the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, “detainees gave us information on couriers. One courier in particular had our constant attention. Detainees gave us his nom de guerre, his pseudonym, and also identified this man as one of the few couriers trusted by bin Laden.”
—
“Officials say CIA interrogators in secret overseas prisons developed the first strands of information that ultimately led to the killing of Osama bin Laden.

Current and former U.S. officials say that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, provided the nom de guerre of one of bin Laden’s most trusted aides. The CIA got similar information from Mohammed’s successor, Abu Faraj al-Libi. Both were subjected to harsh interrogation tactics inside CIA prisons in Poland and Romania.”

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/president-obama-announces-death-of-osama-bin-laden-justice-has-been-done/comment-page-14/#comment-442904

And not only that, but Crazy Larry does some selective editing wrt Bush’s comments about “not being concerned about OBL”. (as TC mentioned here: http://www.mediaite.com/online/republican-and-democratic-opponents-attacked-obama-for-promising-to-raid-pakistan-to-kill-osama-bin-laden/ – and the entire context: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1244536/posts)

“Introducing his program with the statistics on how long it took President Obama to capture Bin Laden versus Bush (831 days compared to thousands), ”

This is so disingenuous (although expected) from Crazy Larry.

He is working under the assumption that Obama’s intelligence gathering and efforts began from *ground zero* the day he took office, January 2009.

The military and CIA intelligence agencies have been working on this for 10 years.

Obama didn’t just swoop in and say “i think he’s in Pakistan! let’s go get him!” He was using intelligence gathered over a period of 10+ years.

He went to war in Afghanistan to find Osama bin Laden. OBL was in Pakistan. And they knew that because of intelligence they had been working on that started under the Bush administration.

Larry is not only full of it, but he is crapping on all the work intelligence agencies and soldiers have been doing for years, and years.

Not only that, he is hurting Obama (which I guess the Republicans should be grateful for).

This kind of stuff will put a quick end to the unified touchy feely state the country was reveling in, following the announcement of OBL’s death.

O’Donnell is about to snap .

“The children are celebrating and taking credit for the death of Osama bin Laden, but make no mistake about it, this is a win for the adults. This will give Obama a short-term boost in the polls, but I submit after a few days or weeks of liberal celebration, reality will start to sink in for more and more Americans.

Now by adults, I mean folks mature enough to understand that the world is a mean place ruled by the aggressive use of power and that the only way to stop evil from ruling is for the good guys to use more power and to use it more aggressively.

And by children, I mean the overgrown juveniles who refuse to understand this reality as it is and who like to think the Muslim world adored us until Bush-Cheney and Rumsfeld came to power. Long before election day of 2012, this will become evident.

To sum it up, everything we as conservatives believe about our country’s defense, the War on Terror, interrogation, special ops / black ops, Gitmo, and the realities of the world was validated. Our ideas won. Our tactics won. An enemy we never hesitated to call out was killed.

Everything liberals believe about the same was defeated. They are trying to take credit for a win in a war they never acknowledged with tactics they openly hate. With a childish liberal in the White House, that may not be evident to much of the country at the moment. But I predict it will be. Facts are facts. The adults won. The kids were along for the ride kicking and screaming. Americans’ curiosity with how this all went down will bring this to light. ”

This kind of stuff will put a quick end to the unified touchy feely state the country was reveling in, following the announcement of OBL’s death.

There are times when one could only wish O’Donnell had more
viewers. But were it not for Mediate fewer people would know who he is.
So no big problem. Two or three days, then he will look for another excuse to
make is stupid and outrageous comments in trying to gain viewers.

BULLETIN, LARRY. Ask KO, CHUNK, Tingles et al how that strategy works.
Irrelivant……………

Oh, did anyone notice how his rant against NBC and Trump several nights ago
made them announce their plans for Apprentice. lol

Larry is not only full of it, but he is crapping on all the work intelligence agencies and soldiers have been doing for years, and years.

You certainly diminish the work of the agencies and the American personnel when you set up an equation in which this is even possible. You also inflate the importance and the impact of the cable news media in America. You are simply wrong about this.

“Touchy feely” state? That’s all Bin Laden was? An impediment to touchy feely revelry? Perhaps, it is touchy feeling to you. But, the majority of Americans are not as superficial. Once again, you seek to diminish us all.

I think it may be best for you to take a day off.

O’Donnell does, indeed, have a point. To the extent, but only to the extent the W Era policies cost American lives, throw us into debt and injured our reputation in the world, these policies are informative. They are instructive in telling us how we should weight candidates, how we should vote in the future. To dwell however in the past, a painful past, filled with disappointments and failures, is non-productive. We do need to move on, and I see no value in Larry’s trials of W in absentia.

LOL! Where it is even possible? It is possible, because he did it.

No where does it diminish the work of the intelligence agencies, nor does cable news have to be important or impactful, to point out that Crazy Larry’s is crapping on their years of work, with his ridiculous conclusions and observations.

*sigh* You as usual, are wrong.

No, Sybil, you do that, all on your own.

“Introducing his program with the statistics on how long it took President Obama to capture Bin Laden versus Bush (831 days compared to thousands), ”

This is so disingenuous (although expected) from Crazy Larry.

It also assumes that Obama captured him. Which, duh, no. Nor would Bush have. We have people who do that sort of thing and they don’t change with the Administration. If we’re going to use asinine metrics, let’s count the bogeys Bush picked up and compare them to Obama’s total. That would be an idiotic comparison, but one Crazy Larry would gladly cite if it fell in Obama’s favor, but it isn’t even close.

To sum it up, everything we as conservatives believe about our country’s defense, the War on Terror, interrogation, special ops / black ops, Gitmo, and the realities of the world was validated. Our ideas won. Our tactics won. An enemy we never hesitated to call out was killed.

The sure love Obama when he acts like Bush, don’t they? What was one despicably evil is now glorious!

exactly, good points.

Lawrence O’Donnell needs to learn the facts before he opens his mouth. Here’s a good link that shows that Bush didn’t close down a special CIA unit on 2005. http://hotair.com/archives/2011/05/02/lawrence-odonnell-on-obl-capture-thanks-for-nothing-bush/

Can Mediaite do a pool where members can guess the upcoming announcement of Larry’s show being cancelled?

More bad news for Progressives!

Our Lefty neighbors to the North just held a vote of confidence for the Conservative Party, with the Liberal Party losing a big chunk of its votes to a third party.

I watched the debate, and they were verbatim the same issues here! – and the (3) other candidates clearly got the better of the Conservative in that debate!

Hey, Expatriate, I don’t know why you turned your back on America. I am sure it is an interesting story. I don’t care to hear it. But don’t be preaching to us about the failure of all things American. This was a marvelous operation in which all involved, the Seals, their support team, the men and women in our intelligence services, our diplomats and President Obama and his team all deserve our unqualified thanks and support. If you for one minute think I intend to allow an Expatriate Reactionary Rightist to sully that in furtherance of the Reactionary Rightist Agenda or in some sort of public purgative therapy for some perceived wrong at the hands of our current Administration, you are seriously, seriously mistaken.

I have already scolded Mr. O’Donnell for clinging too tenaciously to the past, and I scold you for distorting the wisdom, skill and sacrifice of all who made this mission work simply to advance a political and personal agenda.

Shame on you, Sara N. Italy.

Big whoop. Larry would berate Bush over a sunrise.

there you go, the king says all americans that live overseas, turned their back on america, lol

This from someone who is always bragging about his travels abroad.

Crazy Larry looks like a villain from a Kubrick film in that pic.

They don’t count if they’re only in your head. There’s nothing more American than moon pies and RC Cola and they say you are what you eat, so there’s nothing more American than…The Real Rabid…er, somebody who eats at McDonald’s a lot.

To paraphrase Redd Foxx, if you are what you eat, then the King must be eating……well, you know.

Indeed, I did not say that. In the case of Tumbleweed, it is demonstrably true. I know many cases in which it is not true.

Is it my imagination, or is Larry starting to look like Tom Cruise in that Matt Lauer interview a few years back- you know ‘crazy’.
SarahinItaly , already pointed out the history of intel that went into making it possible for Obama to even make the call- to disregard years of intel, captures, interrogations and tough decisions is ridiculous.

It’s like have an entire football team set up the play, block, throw the ball, get coached from the sidelines, that allows for the final touchdown. Not to mention making the conditioning of that team a top priority, the best equipment, funding, coaching, etc….

Does the person who scores get the glory – absolutely! but if he didn’t have the blockers taking down the other team, the touchdown would have been impossible.

Larry O is a clown, doing what clowns do…making us laugh.  Good ol’ Crazy Larry…you keep it up…we need a good chuckle each day.

They also obtained another key piece of info from a detainee they captured in…………..Iraq.

The file suggests that the courier’s identity was provided to the US by another key source, the al-Qaida facilitator Hassan Ghul, who was captured in Iraq in 2004 and interrogated by the CIA. Ghul was never sent to Guantanamo but was believed to have been taken to a prison in Pakistan

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/al-qaeda/8489866/WikiLeaks-Bin-Ladens-courier-trained-911-hijack-team.html

Well, there waw a few moments rest from the hate Obama campaign. Even Limbaugh had to congratulate Obama on his skill in overseeing the flawless attack and killing of bin Laden. But now we’re back to business as usual.
To review some history. Prior to 9/11 there were many signals from intelligence services around the world and many officials in this country that bin Laden was planning a spectacular attack on the US possibly using planes crashing into buildings. It does seem clear that Bush/Cheney and company chose to ignore or not take these warning seriously. As Clinton was leaving the White House he made clear that bin Laden was the biggest threat facing the US. After 9/11 we kicked bin Laden and the Taliban out of Afghanistan and for some wierd reason attacked Iraq which is generally acknowledged as being one of the biggest blunders we’ve ever made. Al Quada returned to Afghanistan and Iraq has been totally decimated with an enormous loss of life, both Iraqi’s and Americans. Nothing will save Bush’s reputation, not just for his awful foreign policy but also for what he did to our economy. Yes, the CIA kept up the chase for bin Laden, but we had no real leadership. Yet, you don’t get the obvious fact that Obama is a much stronger and intelligent leader than Bush ever was.

Why is it that Bush was responsible for things happening a couple of years into Obama’s administration, but Clinton gets a free pass nine months into Bush’s administration?

Its saddening that people will use such an event to push a political agenda. And not only a political agenda, but a fabricated reversionary one. I would only assume that Mr.O’Donnell isn’t this stupid, but partisan blindness and devotion does breed stupidity and illogical thought. This is so profoundly narrow minded that even the most proud Democrat be taken back by such.

So this mission started in 2005, and ended in 2011. President Obama deserves much praise, and credit for overseeing this operation, but to claim it is only of his doing, or that we somehow started over the search when he got into office would be either mental lunacy, or an outright lie.

Yes, and so did Churchill when he said Islam was going to big the biggest threat to the west back in the 1940′s.

However Clinton should know first hand the threat, since he called off the perfect shot (literally) when he had it to take out Osama. Just think, he didn’t just ignore the threat, he let it walk away. No Osama – no 911.

To follow your reasoning, Bush could always say he ‘inherited’ Osama from Clinton. But that excuse is only used by presidents when they don’t want to take responsibility for having to deal with tough decisions.

Way to go O’Donnell. This was needed as the goofy right-wing revisionists were right behind with the swill that our former dry drunk, coke addled deserter-in-chief deserved the credit. The videos were a reminder that bush couldn’t find his ass in the dark with both hands and was nothing more than an arrogant, incompetent boob, covering his ass with barstool bluster sure to please the nabobs who carried his water.

Why is it that no one watches this guy…ever?

O’Donnell is a PSYCHO. What about that YELLING Rant he was on last week re Orly Taitz? That is the last time I’ll ever watch something like that — he was OFF THE HOOK!!!

Bill O’Reilly is getting worse — there’s a new funny vid on his interview with Obama: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROsLAKq1xBs

How Funny!!!!

You know how it works. The economy sucks because of Bush’s policies, but we got Bin Laden IN SPITE of Bush’s policies!

The libs are in a massive rewriting of history now. They work very efficiently to discredit people who try to tell the truth.

For example, in the Wikipedia entry on “Natural Born Citizen”, the liberals are working feverishly to update the entry while normal people keep correcting them.

Back on Iraq, the media completely ignored what liberals were saying about Sadaam. Look at this:

That doesn’t make any real world sense. Bush’s policies are what led to this. Continuing something doesn’t make it in spite of it. Where in the world did you get that from that doesn’t even make any sense

Are you serious….???? You are not a real person rigtht? Trillions of dollars spent for what? Can you tell me what the trillions of dollars and tripling our national debt by Obama is for? What??? To bail out companies that were mismanaged? To give AIG all their bonuses??? Really??? How about the sweetheart insurance policies that the UAW still get while the rest of us pay for it. Wake up!!! Obama is bankrupting this country. Just because through excellence intelligence and military he got Osama everything is good. Yes, he will ride this one to and on his reelection campaign no doubt. But you can’t ignore the fact that he is driving this country to be on the brink of bankruptcy. Follow the fundamentals please. Do your research. Should we go back to the day when Clinton had Osama and let him go. Really???? I am glad we got him but it still doesn’t make him a great president. don;’t be blinded. My poor brother in law. 2 tours of duty and now unemployed due to all Obama’s cuts on the military but yet we fund organizations like UAW and bail out out GM.. Give me a break and learn basic economics would you???

What? Head in sand in not good. All of the things you are reminding us of were initiated by Bush in October of 2008! And what are your fundamentals. Keep supporting a GOP that is selling America. We no longer a Democracy, we are a Plutocracy! You are so misread and misinformed its shameful. All your comments were done under Bush, and if Obama had to initiate military cuts, its because your GOP thinks that money grows on trees and refuses to tax Lazy Money wealthy people and believes in Corporate Welfare!
