Osama Bin Laden dead: Obama took 16 hours to make up his mind | Mail Online
Osama Bin Laden dead: Obama took 16 hours to make up his mind | Mail Online.
Imagine you’re the President,
for 15 years your country has been on the trail of a known mass murderer. A person who has been at the top of the FBIs most wanted list for a decade, a person who admitted on video tape about planning the deaths of 3000 innocent people, just for the shock value, and then carried out the plan. Part of your campaign to get elected was to “Go out and get the guy”. . . You promised to refocus efforts to punish the mass murderer. Then one afternoon you are told “We have him. . . We can get him, do you want precision bombs or a seal team infiltration”?
What is your response; Tell me more, maybe, what do you guys recommend? Bear in mind the US has a long history of dealing with guys like this, there is plenty of precedent, Che Guevara, Bonny and Clyde even John Dillinger, so there is no question it is legal to kill the guy. Also the man publicly declared war on the US in 1996 and had been actively wagging that war.
What would you say?
Bill Clinton said let him go I’m not interested in him, allowing the 9/11 attack. George Bush and Don Rumsfeld both said “Damn it . . . go kill the guy what are you calling me for”? However, he escaped because the CIA didn’t act, I don’t have proof but I suspect this is the real reason the CIA chief was later dumped.
So now we come to you, what do you do?
I know what I would do, ” Go kill him! Do it however you think most effective but do something now. . . we don’t want him to slip away again!” isn’t that reasonable?
What did B. Obama do “Gee guys 15 years on the most wanted list isn’t enough time to decide. . . Give me another 16 hours” he said and then he went to bed, “To sleep on it.”
All I can say is WOW.
Why do we not hear about this in the US press, he is our Un-Decider in Chief. This should be the focus of the story not what a hero B. Obama is for deciding to kill Osama Bin Ladin, but what a weak waffler he is for needing an additional 16 hours. At least Bill Clinton made a decision quickly turned out to be wrong but you can’t fault him for indecision, in Clinton’s defense he didn’t campaign on killing Bin Ladin. B. Obama made getting Bin Ladin his primary attack on the Bush administration, he said repeatedly the focus should be in Afghanistan and on getting Osama Bin Ladin. When he finally gets a chance to be Presidential he has to “Sleep on it”.
Like I said Un-Decider in Chief.
How the House Can Fix The Budget
I am having a hard time seeing what all the trouble is with geting spending under control. It seems to me the House of Representatives holds all the cards.
All bills for appropriations must originate in the House. This is a fancy way of saying the House controls the check book. So it seems to me that if Boehner really wanted to cut spending in a meaningful way they could just do it. The house can go ahead and approve a budget and send it on up the chain. NO compromise take our budget or you get NOTHING. If the House approves a budget its up to the Senate and President to take it. If either does not than it is they and not the House that is shutting down government. The House is supposed to be firm with the nations finances. Instead they act like little whiping boys.
The whole thing is pathetic, man up, pass a balanced budget and then tell the Senate and President, that’s it Take it or Leave it. It seems to me they have spent so much time compromising they have forgot how to be firm.
BBC NEWS | Americas | Obama vows to rebuild New Orleans
Greensburg, Kan, destroyed by a tornado – leveled by a tornado, I drove through this town shortly after the event and the town was, well Basically it was gone.
I also drove through New Orleans shortly after Katrina, and New Orleans was NOT gone. In fact it looked just as dumpy as it did before Katrina. With the exception that things looked a little wetter.
Now again its important to know that Greensburg, Kans. was totally gone, the tornado left it erased, as if a giant bulldozer pushed the town into a ruble pit. Nothing of this magnitude happened to New Orleans. The Big Easy, was under water in some neighborhoods for a few weeks. It was smelly, sure, moldy of course, but NOT erased.
Have you ever heard of Greensburg, Kans., it has been rebuilt from the ground up. Why – the residents didn’t sit around bitching at the government for help. They went to work. There, were no Rebuild Greensburg rallies or petitions to congress, it was just resident with shovels.
I cant imagine the mentality of people who refuse to clean up there own yards and then blame the rest of the country for the toilet of a city they live in.
Why isn’t Mobile, Al still in ruin – it was hit as hard?
I’m not sure, but I guess that New Orleans is still a wreck because the People of New Orleans wont get off their dead rear-ends and clean it up themselves.
They shouldn’t be given any Federal money, not one cent. The problem with New Orleans is not Katrina, but rather a culture of corruption in its politics and laziness by its citizens. New Orleans acts like it is the only city that has ever had a natural disaster.
Shame on YOU – New Orleans residents, clean up your own back yards.
