Here's a recap for you boat;

 This sounds scary. From Newsmax:

Al-Qaida's online statement also urged Pakistanis to rise up against their government to "cleanse" the country of what it labeled as the "shame" inflicted upon the nation because bin Laden was killed in Pakistan.

With Al-Qaida in control of Pakistans nuclear arsenal, the world is in for big trouble.

On a different note. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is my new personal hero in Congress for his calls to end aid to Pakistan... about time SOMEONE in our government call out for an end to the aid we give the Pakistanis'.

Bin Ladin built a 1 million dollar compound with 18 foot walls 8 miles from one of the biggest and most prestigious Pakistani military bases/academies and they knew nothing about it... what a load of crap.

GOP leadership continues to erode their credibility in terms of national security. Boehner should pay more attention to his colleague from cali.

Within a decade Pakistan will be the largest threat to global stability, if they are not already there.

The Lefty tweak of the day...

What a joke... what poilcies is that? where did they find bin laden? Iraq?

I'll bet it will soon be common knowledge that Afghanistan was started by President Obama.
You've already said interrogations at Guantanamo had nothing to do with finding Bin Laden.
Apparently, it was all Empty Suit's mystical powers.

In other news, Empty Suit hasn't deviated one inch from Bush policy in Iraq, escalated Afghanistan
and entered us into an action in Libya despite the fact there was exactly zero threat to the U.S. from that country.
All of this from the candidate that ran as the anti-Bush. Mr. Nobel Peace Prize.

Going into Libya was the right thing to do... it was either that or watck about 500K people be slaughtered. Funny how the right can defend Iraq to this day when there was no reason what so ever to go into that mess.

Obama inherited both the messes in Afghanistan and Iraq. Perhaps if bush had done the right thing in Afghanistan to begin with instead of diverting resources to Iraq we'd have been done with it by now.

All hail Bush the doer of no wrong.

That doesnt even bring up the fact that Bush started a war in Iraq with ZERO exit strategy...

Actually, I believe Empty Suit is adhering to GWB's exit strategy.

No, it wasn't. Unless of course you are saying that GWB going into Iraq was the wrong thing to do because you think we should have gone in when he attacked the Kurds back in the day. How about Sudan? Niger? How do we decide which people shouldn't be slaughtered?

At the time of the Iraq invasion, everyone, including Clinton, Kerry, Harkin and all of the heroes of the left believed Saddam had or was trying to build WMD. Unless you're saying that wouldn't be a threat to us, I'd say it's significantly different than National Buffoon's Libyan vacation.

By the time Empty Suit took office, the Iraq surge had done its work. A surge Empty Suit said was the wrong decision in a war Empty Suit said was lost. All he's done since is follow GWB's script. I suppose we should forget that and just chalk up Iraq as an Empty Suit victory though.

GWB did plenty wrong. And there's the difference. The right can say that. The left wants a halo around Empty Suit's head.

No way Jose. I think we are stuck in Afghanistan too, much like the Russians were.

If killing Bin Laden is the beginning of the end of Afghanistan, it wont work. Obama cant just say that our goals for Afghanistan are complete and pull all the troops out.

vs one set on fighting daddies wars in Iraq!

Hey, that's Fury13's line. It is classic though. That Oliver Stone movie was pretty entertaining actually.

Elsewhere, will someone PLEASE post a negative shot at Herman Cain?

So in the rights world GWB is awesome for going into iraq but going into Libya was a mistake... what a joke.

No. In hindsight (it being 20/20), going into Iraq was a mistake. That doesn't change the fact that at the time, there was no way to simply say it was or wasn't the right call. If GWB doesn't go in, and 2 years later Saddam has a nuclear/chemical arsenal at his disposal, would you have said "But that's ok, not acting on the intel was the right move?"

Your justification for Libya isn't that we should learn from history, but rather, that since the GOP President made the wrong call based on intel he had that pointed at a possible threat, we should rejoice and encourage Empty Suit making the wrong call based on no indication whatsoever that Gaddhafi is interested in being a threat.

If during ESOTUS' 16-hour siesta, Bin Laden had left the compound and found his way to a different safe haven, and the mission inside Pakistan ended up a failure, would you have called ESOTUS a f*ck-up, or would you have said he made the right call based on the intel available?

Just curious.

Sorry, I don't play that. That isn't what ESOTUS campaigned on and it's not what he was given a Nobel for.
