Leave it to conservatives to play politics at such a time in America. A day after a successful mission to kill or capture Osama bin Laden, Bush Administration flunkies, Republican politicians, and the unabashedly biased boneheads at Fox News have already started trying to downplay President’s Obama role in killing Osama bin Laden. Saying that a soldier killed the most wanted man in the world, not Obama, is like saying a bullet killed him, not a soldier.
No matter how you try to spin it, the truth is that Clinton failed to make the right decision at Tarnak Farms because he didn’t want risk harming a member of the Saudi royal family, who was visiting the terrorist mastermind. And then Bush failed to make the right decision at Tora Bora because he didn’t want to put additional military assets at risk, opting instead to hire a tribe of Taliban cronies to do the work our soldiers should have done. Obama had the cojones to take the risk and make the right decision.
If you can’t give Obama credit for killing Bin Laden, then how do you justify crediting Bin Laden for bringing down the Twin Towers? And if your are so committed to your ideology that you cannot see past it, then maybe you ought to rethink why you live in a democracy.
