That’s how Obama got bin Laden. It is one of the ironies of history that it’s Richard Nixon’s name on the plaque at Tranquility Base, because he happened to have become president a few months before the flight. Of course, it would be a stronger analogy if bin Laden had been captured two years ago.

Except for the simple fact that Bush disbanded the CIA’s Bin Laden hunting unit in 2006. This was after Bush had spent the previous three years saying things like (video at link)” I really just don’t spend that much time on him, to be honest with you.”
Facts matter, and the fact is that the previous administration backed off of hunting Bin Laden.
Chris,
Its not unexpected. Now that they blogged the Muslim funeral decision to death the anti-Obama industry has to find additional ways to spin it against President Obama.
“…the anti-Obama industry has to find additional ways to spin it against President Obama….”
…just as the anti-Bush industry continues to spin his every act into one of bumbling malevolence. Except the ABI actually IS an industry. The opposition to Obama is grass-roots.
Meh.
Give Obama credit where credit is due and give Bush credit for what he did to help. Life doesn’t revolve around 4 or 8 year timelines.
The irony is that Obama had to use the tactics of Bush to get the job done and Obama’s followers sing his praises while calling Bush a war criminal.

Precisely, and yet all they can do is turn this it a personal attack on Bush from one press conference. Even further so, the left always took how Bush would go about controlling the narrative coming out of the White House and treated such as if it were 1984 all over again. “He’s subverting us into becoming…..CHRISTIANS!!!”, is really all that remains as their final cry. But here with Obama it is just straight up happening in their face, like “HELLO”, and they can’t ever seem to see the forest for the trees.

If one read Rumsfeld book, they would understand that disbanding the CIA’s unit isn’t the same as dropping the issue. I don’t expect Gerrib read it.
Not surprised though Gerrib read the NYT, did you catch the story in their magazine that Veterans are a danger? If you, Gerrib, believe everything you read in the NYT, then you are a danger to yourself and those around you, at least that’s what they say. Do you believe you’re a beast, Gerrib?
And Obama’s every failure into being Bush’s fault.
If Trump succeeds in getting Obama’s transcripts, they’ll probably blame Bush for Obama’s C’s and B-minuses.
Leland, facts matter, but only the facts that support Gerrib’s opinion. Other facts he will ignore and plod along according to his ideology as though he did not read them.
