It wasn’t bush or Obama, it was military intelligence. Obama got to pull the triggwe, he proved he had the stones to lead the free world by doing so. I give respect where respect is due. Nothing against Bush, he wud have done the same.
The reason Obama gets credit is because 1.He approved troop escalation in the region, 2.He appointed the right people to the job. 3. He maintained better relations with Pakistan. You can clearly see that Obama’s method worked better due to the drastically higher rate that top terrorist leaders were being killed at once he took office (despite the media’s lack of coverage). Now don’t get me wrong, Bush gets credit too for sending the troops there in the first place like any president would, but he slipped up quite a few times along the way. Oh, and let’s not forget, the President only gets so much credit no matter who he is. The most credit should go to the troops and the intelligence community.
Bush’s Statement
“Earlier this evening, President Obama called to inform me that American forces killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of the al Qaeda network that attacked America on September 11, 2001. I congratulated him and the men and women of our military and intelligence communities who devoted their lives to this mission. They have our everlasting gratitude. This momentous achievement marks a victory for America, for people who seek peace around the world, and for all those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001. The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done.”
he sure does, he deserves the credit since he gave the go ahead and knew there was the right amount of intelligence that had been collected to find him.
Does it really matter? Terrorists never asked if Americans voted red or blue. Just fucking be proud of your country and all the men and women who made this happen.
You’re a monumental idiot if you actually wake up each morning and think our President doesn’t do this. You, along with the other small percentage of lobotomy patients, are a highly despicable population of this country. If you have legitimate concerns of the President’s record, try your best to read a book, or research actual facts or you can shut your fucking mouth, get a vasectomy and never, ever reproduce for the good of the intelligence and progress of this nation.
I know plenty of Christians who don’t put their hand over their heart but still stand at attention. That has nothing to do with if he is Christian or Muslim. The facts are that he is a Christian, not a Muslim, and he is happy to have Osama dead. You are ignorant to think that he actually supported Bin Laden and is a Muslim. Get your shit straight.
I am without words… Get someone to buy you a beer, you earned it

15 years ago at 10:14 pmTexas, the camo refers to hunting camo. The name is also a tribute to the men and women of the military, especially my cousin who is a marine.
