Just curious, what exactly were the tools that Bush put into place to make it possible to catch bin Laden?

Did Bush invent Navy Seals?

Update:

@pachl, so Bush already knew who the courior

was and then ordered people to follow him for 8 years?

    Bush stood in front of the White House Press Corp and said "We're gonna get 'em."

    Other than that, not much really.

    There are LITERALLY none.

    The dumbest of Cons attribute getting Bin Laden to "water boarding." That's simply false.

    The BASIS of information did come from an "extraordinary rendition" operation... but THOSE were started in the 1990's under Clinton.

    As did the observation of OBL to the extent possible... and a couple early attempts to kill him.... also... Clinton.

    Bush gave the order to have the courier followed. That is fact.

    All 0bama did was not f*ck up Bush's original, standing orders.

    So the fact that the sting operation took a while in no way diminishes the fact that Bush began the process.

    Since what I have said is undeniably true, any thumbs down will simply reveal you as buffoonish.

    Halliburton , Blackwater, Veritas Capital may not have found bin Laden, but Bush helped them make a fortune. Also, Washington Group International -- well -- someone had to take care of all of those oil wells.

    Bush hasn't invented anything or for that matter, had an original thought.

    Bush let Bin Laden live for 8 years so Obama could kill him...It was all part of Bush's plan.

    Like the economic collapse.

    He was the worst President in history with the lowest approval rating leaving office in history....subsequently, as a result of Bush's disastrous presidency which awakened the American people for change, they elected President Obama...and thus led to the capture of Bin Laden

    Thank you Bush! Just keep being the disaster that you are.

    Bush was more than happy to let bin Laden skate free.

    Torture and extraordinary rendition.

    Kennedy created the SEALS from the WWII underwater demolition teams.

    How about putting troops and agents on the ground in Afghanistan? Interrogations at Gitmo? Obama seems to really, really, really like Gitmo detainees, btw.
