You don't know that.

What we DO know is that Bush quickly took the focus off 9/11 and in fact used public sentiment from that tragedy to pursue a totally different agenda in Iraq and on top of that publicly stated that he didn't have any interest in killing the man responsible for that attack; a job Obama finished for him.

A little context for you. I know you hate that...


Who knows if he’s hiding in some cave or not. We haven’t heard from him in a long time. The idea of focusing on one person really indicates to me people don’t understand the scope of the mission. Terror is bigger than one person. He’s just a person who’s been marginalized. … I don’t know where he is. I really just don’t spend that much time on him, to be honest with you.

Did why the frick did he have massive special ops and intel ops to try and find him and kill him. You think that the CIA just found OBL once BO became POTUS? Read a fricking book or hell just watch the movie, even though that is not the whole truth because a shite ton of details are still classified.

I was 11 years old and had just seen my first porno and I thought it would be the coolest thing to have a President named Bush.

I remember saying at the time if Bush beat Gore because of a few hanging chads the dems would make him pay in spades plus add in the impeachment farce for good measure.

Boy did they ever and it continues to this day.

Not at all. But I'll never understand why Bush didn't take him out nor do I understand why conservatives give Bush a pass on that nor give Obama credit. Osama Bin Ladin deserved to die for what he did and the only shame is that we had to wait 10 years for it to happen.

I was 48 and on my honeymoon at Gulf Shores that was pretty much deserted. The word "gore" had a double meaning for those four days.

Well the Special forces and CIA missed him in early 2002 and he slipped away. He did a damn good job hiding and the trail went cold. Then in either 07 or 08 they picked up the trail again. They were looking for one man that had an organization to help hide him in several countries. As far as giving credit, I do give Obama credit for making the easiest presidential choice since Truman decided to drop the A bombs on Japan.

Bush spends years, billions of dollars, sets the mid east on fire uses every asset and favor we have. Countless people die friend and foe looking for OBL and crushing his org. OBL ends up living in a block house in a sh!t hole area almost completely irrelevant when found and killed.

But DA thinks nothing happened under Bush.

Either a great troll or one of the most narrow minded people on PT I've had the displeasure of reading.

Bush said publicly that he wasn't worried about it, that OBL was "just one man" blah, blah, blah.

Obama said during his campaign that his administration would make finding and killing Bin Ladin a too priority. At least that was one campaign promise he didn't break.

- Do not give President Bush a pass. We lost sight of an important moral victory if nothing else.
- Do give President Obama credit for a very gutsy decision.
