"Where is Osama Bin Laden? "

is he dead... is he alive?

bush did one thing for sure.

secure a place for osama bin laden in history books for ever... the legend of osama.

"He remains under guard at a San Antonio military hospital, where he is paralyzed from the waist down due to injuries suffered in the attack."

Does this Prick still get his seventy virgins even if his Dick is broken...

Just Saying what a waste, but funny as hell I hope this terrorist suffers in great pain for the rest of his life...

Good!

Bye bye...

"In the interview, Al-Awlaki then appears to taunt U.S. intelligence and security, saying, "I wonder where were the American security forces that one day claimed they can read the numbers of any license plate, anywhere in the world, from space."

.....I wonder, if at the time of the explosion, before he died, Al-Awlaki had a second to realize, "shit,the infidels really could blow up my ass"....

...just wondering......

Give him a medal. He did about as much here as he did to win the Nobel.

Give him a medal.

.....not a medal...but give him his due......

....he is responsible for increasing the drone attacks .....

Increased Drone Attacks Authorized By Obama

....he is responsible for increasing the drone attacks .....

Then would he be responsible for the civilian death toll from these drones? Or is that just Bush? What if it was Bush...?

Where is the outrage? With a kill ratio of 14 AlQueda out of 710 civilians, useage of the drone technology should be slowed down, if not halted and reevaluated. It appears it is not always the drone technology but intelligence that is incorrect.

Where is Nulli to condone the stand off tactic of this president?

Skiz....You should read something other than MSM and your NEA link leaves unwanted cookies.... wonder why?

Obama owns our wars. Particularly Afghanistan. How does the left feel about that? Give him a break because he's a Dem and a Rep would be the worse of two evils? Or actively support someone, somewhere, who'll challenge BHO and his support staff in the Congress?

Then would he be responsible for the civilian death toll from these drones?

.......America is collectively responsible......

Where is the outrage? With a kill ratio of 14 AlQueda out of 710 civilians,

......where are you getting your stats from ?...fact is the drones are the most feared weapons America has.....we have witnessed numerous big time terrorists taken down with them......after an attack, the local Al Qaida sympathizers always first deny that Al Qaida was hit, and then claim numerous civilian casualties, these numbers are goofy at best, and purely faked at worst.......

Skiz....You should read something other than MSM and your NEA link leaves unwanted cookies.... wonder why?

......you don't know what I read, so your judgement is uninformed.....as for my NEA link leaving cookies, pls let me know what kind, I am hoping I don't have a virus on this computer, because I got one on my last one, and I was sending out Viagra ads by the zillions.....

Of the 60 cross-border predator strikes carried out by the Afghanistan-based American Predator drones in Pakistan between January 14, 2006 and April 8, 2009, only 10 were able to hit their actual targets, killing 14 wanted al-Qaeda men, besides perishing 687 innocent Pakistani civilians.

........based on what I have read, that number is wrong, where are you getting these numbers from ??..I have also read and seen reports where more than 14 AQ's were killed in a single strike, please post your supporting links.......

......after one year in office, yes, he owns the wars that he inherited......

.......we feel more confident with Obama handling them, than with the Bush/Cheney Idiotocracy......

......no, we won't give BHO a break, he has to do a worthwhile job with the dog's breakfast that he inherited.......

......so far, he's done ok......and why challange how he is handling the wars, what's he done that is so wrong ??......it looks like he's doing a better job than Bush did with them.........

SKIZZ-
When you say he's done OK what do you mean, specifically?

I ask that because "OK" to me means not overly good nor overly bad. What areas are you enthused about and what areas under BHO are you displeased about?

And further, SKIZZ, at what point does Dubya not enter your vocabulary? When does BHO get to stand up for himself without casting blame wherever he can?

How often in history can you recall a sitting POTUS still blaming a former POTUS? Does that mean anything to you?

SKIZZ-
When you say he's done OK what do you mean, specifically?

......I think we could leave Iraq quicker, but at least we are going......

.....he is developing one strategy that I think is good, he is going after Al Qaida outside of the conventional theaters-of-war, in a more robust way than Bush did, specifically in Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, Indonesia.....he is fighting them with their kind of war.....he is terrorizing them with increased drone attacks....so that is good......

.....I am disappointed that after the failed Afghani elections, he is still willing to support Karzai....Karzai has billions stashed in Switzerland, and he is allowing NATO and US to fight his fight against his enemies, he is playing us for suckers....we should have drawn down there and just left ten thousand or so Al Qaida hunting special forces there.....there is no need to prop up a dictator like Karzai, if he is unwilling to stand up for himself.......

.....but Obama had said that Afghanistan was a "war of necessity" so he felt boxed into a corner, it would have take a bigger man to say, "sorry, things have changed, I'm not wasting American lives and money protecting a drug-running tyrant"....but it would have been the right thing to do.......

......so Obama gets a B in my books......

And further, SKIZZ, at what point does Dubya not enter your vocabulary?
#14 | Posted by OohRah

......can he ever be excluded from a war he started and prosecuted so badly that it did not conclude in 7 years ??.......

....that goes for both wars.......

.....what Obama inherited, is the management of these wars, Obama will be judged on how well he manages them from here on in, and how well he ends them......

.....so at this point, after a year, these wars are Obama's responsibility......but the ghost of the dummy who started and mismanaged them, will be around to haunt us a while longer.....

...Bush put Karzai, Al Maliki in place, he sent in Halliburton, Blackwater, presided over Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo,...... there's just so much dirt to cleaned up.......

I'm suggesting, SKIZZ, that you and BHO man up and talk about where we go from here vs hiding behind the "skirt" of Dubya. No POTUS that I can recall ever, ever, continued to openly blame his predecessor this long into his term. It's unbecoming and unnecessary. I realize it feeds his base, but it cheapens BHO. Is BHO in constant campaign mode?

Bush did many things - some good, some not. He left Iraq in pretty good sted despite Dems who tried to thwart him at most every turn.

So one year after Dubya we're still fully engaged in the Middle East, Gitmo is open for business, and any number of other areas BHO promised to "fix" during his campaign go untouched and, I might add, unnoticed by most of the mainstream media.

.......no one is hiding.......

....I did say that from here on in, Obama is responsible for the management of the wars and problems that he inherited.......

.....no one is hiding behind Bush, but that being said, Obama inherited some huge mistakes.......

......we have been "engaged" in the middle east for decades, and will be for years to come, it's just a matter of how will we manage the engagement......

......as for Gitmo, you have read, as I have, the steps being taken to close it, and the people who are opposing the closure, but it will get done......

......and I don't think that Obama has been particularly harsh on Bush, considering what a mess was left, .....the only time I can recall Obama getting pissed off, was when the the Repubs kept getting on his back, and he said "you made the mess, don't tell me how to mop it up".....aside from that, you don't hear Obama passing the buck.......

.....but I said before, at this point, these are Obama's management problems, and he will be judged on how well he manages them.....

......no one is running from the responsibility....and I am not that kind of partisan myself......if Obama makes a mistake, I will call him on it.....just as the odd times Bush did something right, I stood up for him......

.....Hey Andrea.....I would appreciate any and all information that you could give me on this.....I am not that technical myself, but would have a nerd guy look into it, if I can tell him what to look for ........how bad is it ?......what sort of cookies ?.....

And further, SKIZZ, at what point does Dubya not enter your vocabulary?

When Carter disappears from the right's vocabulary about Iran or Ike is added to it for Castro's Cuba and when Truman and LBJ are never linked to Korea or Viet nam.

How's that for fair?

You misspelled "Licks" in the thread title.

Bush did nothing good, well or even partially right. I'm anxious to hear your spin on what those great accomplishments might be.

What parts of "failed policy of the previous administration" and "inextricable wars" does not make sense to you? We're so far involved in nation building Afghanistan will be re-named New California.

Do you believe that we are in the Middle East to "spread democracy" by dismantling Islamic rule over their own people, takeover oil reserves and pipe it to Israel or are we there fighting to see which nation will control the worlds largest drug manufacturing schema? Which one?

In reality, DOMA and "Don't Ask Don't Tell" are still enacted. The bank bailout was followed-through just as the dollar tanked across the globe simultaneously - does anyone use the dollar as their treasuries monetary system? The mortgage industry is still fucking-over the most meager of families and there is no apparent hope for employment going into the second quarter of this next year. And finally we come to the Democrat "approved" Healthcare legislation which does nothing but cater to the existing insurance and over-priced fraudsters. We're FUCKED.

They say "Revenge is dish best served cold."

Give him a medal. He did about as much here as he did to win the Nobel.

They threw that at him to gall us, imo.

Bush needs to be tried for war crimes and Obama is a saint by comparison - but he's done nothing apparently to warrant the peace prize.
