SEALs slam Obama for using them - Page 4

Wait -- there were NAVY SEALS involved in the killing of Bin Laden???

I thought Mitt Romney had the perfect punch line when Obama's re-election campaign questioned whether he would have made the decision to kill Bin Laden: "Even Jimmy Carter would have given that order."

Mebbe the SEALs or their associations will organize under the radar and give Obozo the swiftboat treatment.

Just imagine how you'd feel if Obama jumped in to a flight suit, landed on an aircraft carrier and put up a huge banner that read "Mission Accomplished". *RAGE*

...Inconceivable! That would imply that Obama had spent time in military service and learned how to pilot a jet fighter, instead of spending those same relative years as a radical leftist community organizer!

Most likely more influenced by the fear of what voters would do if he refused to approve the mission, and word leaked out (the same as when it leaked out that Clinton had vetoed two proposals to kill him before 9-11).

Uh, you might want to check some things out. Just one of them was that the banner was not made by the white house, it was made by the sailors on that ship. Number two, the difference between a mission and a campaign. The Mission to invade Iraq and topple Saddam was accomplished by that time. The Iraqi Campaign was just beginning. I'd have no problems if Barry put on an AFL-CIO or ACORN Hoody and ran around doing community organizing stuff, those are his professional roots. GWB happened to be a military pilot.

The mission accomplished "scandal" was 100% spin. And the libs lapped it up and got genuinely upset about the whole thing, due to their own ignorance. I'm guessing you were a little peeved about it, weren't you.

See how a little lack of knowledge makes a post that goes over like a rocket at Democratic Underground, but kind of falls flat at places with a little more informed readership?

What a mighty feat of hypocrisy it is to misstate the facts (the Bush WH produced and provided the banner: http://articles.cnn.com/2003-10-28/p...PM:ALLPOLITICS) and then dwell at length defending Bush's strutting around on an aircraft carrier in a thread that's gone on for 4 pages denouncing Obama for saying a few words about Bin Laden. You people are neck deep in stupid.

Who's lack of knowledge? Yours is pronounced and profound. In fact, it's probably already time for your nap.

Besides the ad, the White House is marking the first anniversary of the SEAL Team Six raid that killed bin Laden inside his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan with a series of briefings and an NBC interview in the Situation Room designed to highlight the ‘gutsy call’ made by the President.

The problem was using it in a campaign commercial.

Neck deep in stupid would be to assume you were being intellectually honest with your little display of false outrage.

It was the Navy's idea to display the banner. The WH made it as per your link.

It was not GW trying to politicize the event as a campaign strategy in an attack add on his opponent.

Try be honest about it even if you really don't see the difference.

Cmdr. Conrad Chun, a Navy spokesman, defended the president's assertion.
"The banner was a Navy idea, the ship's idea," Chun said.

Seems pretty clear to me. Oh, and there is no need to be a jerk about it. Try to remain in control of your emotions. It's a sign of maturity.

Dealing with the willfully ignorant is a heavy burden we of the right share.

'MISSION ACCOMPLISHED' , I believe, referred to the ship's company being homeward bound after their mission was accomplished. http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/1030-06.htm

"At a news conference Tuesday, Bush remarked that the "Mission Accomplished" sign "of course, was put up by the members of the USS Abraham Lincoln, saying that their mission was accomplished. I know it was attributed somehow to some ingenious advance man from my staff -- they weren't that ingenious, by the way."

(One thing that is ominously clear is the ration of anti-Bush MSM comments to those pro-Bush. Roughly exactly the obverse of Obama comments from those boot lickers.)

I read this on the internet recently:

> Let's be clear on this: OBAMA did NOT kill Bin Laden. An American sailor, who Obama, just a few weeks before, was debating on whether or not to PAY, did! In fact, if you remember a little less than two years ago, his administration actually charged and attempted to court-martial three Navy Seals from Seal Team Six, when a terrorist suspect they captured, complained they had punched him during the take-down and bloodied
> his nose. Obama's administration further commented how brutal they were. The left were calling them Nazi's and Baby Killers. Now all of a sudden, the very brave men they vilified are now heroes when they make his administration look good in the eyes of the public. Obama just happened to be the one in office when the CIA finally found the <guy> And our sailors took him out. Essentially, Obama only gave an answer, Yes or No, to him being taken out. This is NOT an Obama victory, but an AMERICAN victory!!
