Its amazing how intellectually dishonest you are. Either that or just plain fucking retarded. Saying that the identification of the courier by Bush's CIA in 2007 had nothing to do with locating him 4 years later is like saying the first 3 games of the World series had nothing to do with Giants winning the world series in game 5, or that beating the Phillies in the NLCS had nothing to do with them winning the World series as well. Ever heard of causality? perhaps not. Its a term for those who understand reason and logic. You are all about connecting the Dots huh? Why cant you connect the dots on this? Oh, because it contradicts your earlier post saying there was no link to the previous administrations intelligence gathering efforts and Bin Laden's death. Fuckn rediculous Vinyl. Notice how none of your ass buddies here are coming to your defence? You need to just quit here dude. Oh, and sorry a NYT article and an interview with the former CIA director wasnt credible enough for you. Sorry for giving you the benefit of the doubt concerning you not knowing about the NYT article and them detailing that the intelligence that led to Bin laden's death began in 2007. If you did know of this article and then still wrote that there was no intel link between the two administrations then I am wasting my time debating an irrational person and this conversation is over. No point in arguing with me over their content. Argue with the NYT and the former CIA director over it. i was just relaying info that you asked for in your earlier post.
Barack Obama deserves alot of credit for what happened on sunday. Bush deserves credit for gathering intelligence and working through thousands and thousands of leads in order to determine that the only way Bin Laden would be found is if we could find, identify, and locate his couriers. Bush found and identified his courier long before Obama was in office. Obama then located the courier based on the lead in August, which ultimately lead us to the compound in Pakistan. Obama simply continued down the path that Bush laid out for him, and Obama deserves credit for that.
What impressed me about Obama was not that he found Bin Laden. the wheels were already set in motion long ago. He was gonna be found anyways. What was impressive was when and how he handled the situation. First, rather than letting Bin laden stay there under surveilance in the compound for a more politically expedient time to kill him (like next summer) Obama decided to act immediately. Second, rather than simply dropping a bomb on the joint, Obama took a huge risk in sending in the seals. Had that mission failed and Bin laden escaped it would without a doubt cost him his presidency (when dropping a bomb would have insured his death). It was a gutsy call and he decerves ALL the credit for that.
Great logic!!! Now -- I can hardly WAIT to hear the news that Bush's Tax break for the wealthy (and the Republican's insistance that it be extended for 2 years) has "stimulated" an economic recovery!! .................waiting..............I said I'm waiting................waiting still (maybe THIS is going to take another 9 years huh!??)
