About this Spiking of the Football
I can understand why the Republicans are questioning President Obama's "spiking of the football" when it comes to him more or less taking credit for the assassination of the former al Qaeda leader. It's not really even a campaign for the general election and the president (through guilt by association of his Vice-President ) is already attacking Mitt Romney with preposterous assumptions that Romney, if he were president at the time, wouldn't have ordered the killing of bin Laden. With the SEAL team ready and willing to go, Obama wants everyone to believe that Romney (or probably any other Republican president) would have pulled a Bill Clinton and not have acted when bin Laden's head was being offered to him on a silver platter? Really? I mean Obama in all his righteousness and toughness on terrorism (when not apologizing and emboldening them that is) expects anybody to believe that only he had the gravitas to make such an obvious decision (read Kill Bin Laden by Dalton Fury-it really was a no-brainer) that he in fact had to "think about it" for 16 hours? Never mind the fact that Obama wanted nothing to do with al Qaeda in the first place and gives George W. Bush absolutely no credit what-so-ever in supplying not only the apparatus for the kill, but he also saturated all the chicken-hawk B.S. from the Democrats (that they are now completely reversing in true left-wing style to awash Obama in glorious light just because he said "go.")
Now, the fact is Obama was lucky enough to be in the seat of power when the most wanted terrorist on the planet was sent off the planet and truth be told the Republicans would use it as a politicizing ad campaign. But whoever was doing it would probably put the credit where it correctly belong. I would be saying the same thing to them if they didn't. And it was a great accomplishment that any president would embrace politically, but to hear the Democrats tell it, they make it sound like they were the only ones that could have or would have made that decision. I'm sorry, but to coin a phrase, that raid was a slam-dunk. After all the time and money spent in finding been bin Laden, after all the political maneuvering and intelligence operations and yes after the water-boarding that probably produced the leads that eventually led to bin Laden's whereabouts, this victory was Bush's as much as it was Obama's. Even more so I'd say. I'd even give quite a bit to Bill Clinton-or at least his intelligence team. It was a great accomplishment, but a tough decision? Hardly. In fact, I'll go you one better. If Bush had been the one to give the green light, he would have been accused of killing an unarmed man in a sovereign country without that country's knowledge. More than a few Dems would have stood up and read articles of impeachment. That's a fact of the left way of thinking.
Bush's credit=Obama did it.
Obama's did it=Bush's fault.
"Progressive" 101.
By the way, some SEAL members are not all that keen on the president using them to take credit for USL death.
