You are honestly comparing THIS to a full length feature movie funded by Obama's friends in Hollywood strategically released 18 days before election day?

The shame.....

[HI54UNI]

awesome. Gotta make sure Obama properly credited with doing what Bush failed at.

Only because he had Leon Panetta to make sure it happened. Otherwise Obama and Valerie Jarrett would have pissed the opportunity down their legs.

Only because he had Leon Panetta and the intelligence gathering network established by Bush/Cheney/Rumsfield to make sure it happened. Otherwise Obama and Valerie Jarrett would have pissed the opportunity down their legs.

NOW it's fixed.

Have you seen any news reports that Bush, et al dinked around and missed the chance at Tora Bora? Maybe they did and I haven't seen the reports. There are reports showing the battle between Panetta/Gates/Hillary and Jarrett about the operation and how Panetta probably forced Obama's hand while he was pissing himself in the corner. We'll know for sure when the books starting coming out about a year after Obama leaves office....

U.S. Concludes Bin Laden Escaped at Tora Bora Fight
Failure to Send Troops in Pursuit Termed Major Error

The Bush administration has concluded that Osama bin Laden was present during the battle for Tora Bora late last year and that failure to commit U.S. ground troops to hunt him was its gravest error in the war against al Qaeda, according to civilian and military officials with first-hand knowledge.

Intelligence officials have assembled what they believe to be decisive evidence, from contemporary and subsequent interrogations and intercepted communications, that bin Laden began the battle of Tora Bora inside the cave complex along Afghanistan's mountainous eastern border. Though there remains a remote chance that he died there, the intelligence community is persuaded that bin Laden slipped away in the first 10 days of December.

After-action reviews, conducted privately inside and outside the military chain of command, describe the episode as a significant defeat for the United States. A common view among those interviewed outside the U.S. Central Command is that Army Gen. Tommy R. Franks, the war's operational commander, misjudged the interests of putative Afghan allies and let pass the best chance to capture or kill al Qaeda's leader. Without professing second thoughts about Tora Bora, Franks has changed his approach fundamentally in subsequent battles, using Americans on the ground as first-line combat units.

In the fight for Tora Bora, corrupt local militias did not live up to promises to seal off the mountain redoubt, and some colluded in the escape of fleeing al Qaeda fighters. Franks did not perceive the setbacks soon enough, some officials said, because he ran the war from Tampa with no commander on the scene above the rank of lieutenant colonel. The first Americans did not arrive until three days into the fighting. "No one had the big picture," one defense official said.

Looks good

Let's remember that President Obama did NOTHING but give the go ahead....he did not kill him but damn do I congratulate him on giving the go no the raid (as much as I despise him). He should get no credity but being the man that has the power to give the order to go or not.

[Skjellyfetti]

Let's remember that President Obama did NOTHING but give the go ahead...

And Osama bin Laden did NOTHING on September 11th.

[Wedgebuster]

Well, Obomba could have just scared the hell out of him with some sort of shock and awe bullshit, or made up some hero bullshit stories about a female supply clerk gunslinging her way out of an Iraqi ambush, or made up some bullshit hero story about a former pro football star being killed in action when in fact he was killed by our own troops.

Better yet, he could put on a codpiece and got in a flight suit for a bullshit declaration of victory after killing OBL, but apparently felt that was just stupid.

Looking forward to this soon to be great cinema production.

fify....btw, Ike did nothing on D-Day & Reagan did nothing in the Cold War (literally).....but we credit both with having the balls to make the tough decisions that enabled our success in both arenas and seldom make the petty distinctions of their actual physical contributions to the same success....

[YoUDeeMan]

Can't wait for the Republican sequel to come out 2 days later that shows Obama, flush with victory, keeping our troops in Afghanistan. If they keep the same actors, some of the hero Seal characters could be shown dying during an attack on their helicopter. An epic Hollywood moment.

Woo-hoo! Rally around the flag and get some of our boys killed for nothing. It is the American way...yet another thing Obama hasn't changed.

That reminds me of this-


With this political capital, he chose to invade Iraq. I think a movie has already been made of that great idea.

Good to see that you agree that Obushma is just another embarrassing, self-serving clown who is willing to use other people's deaths to his advantage.

BTW, what is Obama's body count up to?

But Obama isn't a relious retard, so he's ok in Wedgie's book.

[Cap'n Cat]

awesome. Gotta make sure Obama properly credited with doing what Bush failed at.

Obama did it the intelligent man's way. Took his time and made sure he had the fax. If this was Bush, he'd-a sent in a 10,000 soldiers, got half of them killed and walked away with nothing but body bags.





"Sorry, dudes. They'll elect a Democrat soon enough...."

What kind of a retard is he?
