Obama Vs Bin Ladin..........................?
So is Obama going to run on killing Osama? How many times is he going to bring that up in the next year? Really? That's it? I guess there isn't much else to brag about.

Actually.... I think it was a huge mistake to kill Bin Laden......
FIRST He was harmless.... a toothless barking dog....he had not been able to personally launch a terrorist attack in ten years.... his assets were frozen..... he was broke..... He was no longer an active threat
SECOND We would have learned more by monitoring his activities..... who were his messengers?....who was protecting him in Pakistan?..... where were his officers hiding?
THIRD By violating Pakistani sovereignty we may have lost an important partner in the war on terror. Instead of arresting the people who helped Bin Laden....the Pakistanis are arresting the people who helped us??? Terrorists who were in Pakistani jails are now being released....terrorist target are being warned before we can attack..... our information sources in Pakistan are drying up......the people of Pakistan are angry; there could be a coup.... If the Taliban take control of Pakistan....that will give them access to nuclear weapons.... NOT A GOOD THING
FOURTH Now Bin Laden is a "martyr"..... a continuing reason for terrorist revenge....there is even a nut job trying to recover the body
FINALLY The only benefits I can see for killing Bin Laden is REVENGE and to gain votes for Obama....neither of which is sufficient to offset the negatives

I don't think there is actually anything he can run on. He is just an airbag full of misinformation. Killing Osama might have gotten him a small bounce in the polls but it won't carry him but a few weeks. Besides, killing Osama took several administrations to accomplish this task. Other administrations set it up, and he just took the shot, like in basketball. It was a great opportunity for a photo op. Meanwhile he is alienating our allies, be they good or bad, from Britain to Egypt, to Pakistan. We are now in 4 wars, yes 4- Afghanistan, Iraq, Lybia, and Yemen. We are doing covert operations in Yemen, so don't kid yourselves and the War in Lybia is illegal. But legalities and the constitution or sovereignty of a country doesn't mean a whole lot to King Obama. We also have a war on our southern border. So with all the chaos, BHO is just setting us up for him to be the one to rescue us just like the government did with Katrina. Maybe a One World Government can rescue us. Google BHO and NWO. He's been talking about it for a long time.

CIA failed and could not find Bin for ten years. Spent millions to pay out to find Bin. It is not worth. Obama did nothing why he has to be proud of what?
Bush should feel defeat, because ten years a lot of time and his people could not find Terror, who killed and destroyed many innocents.
