[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I am 7:36 and I want to add it is insulting to claim the war on women only involves policy about reproduction.  The War on Women is being conducted by people who do not respect the fact that people support different candidates. I have been a pro-choice Republican my entire life. I do not like being told there is a war on everything that is surrounding me and in me in order to vote for a man who campaigned against war and certainly couldn't win one.[/quote]

Why don't you compare the number of Americans killed defeating Qaddafi to the number of Americans killed in Bush's invasion of Iraq. Then, let's have a discussion about who is capable of winning a war.

Bush said he didn't care very much about OBL. Romney said, "It’s Not Worth Moving Heaven And Earth And Spending Billions Of Dollars Just Trying To Catch One Person."

When Obama said that if he had actionable intelligence about the location of OBL, he would deploy forces to an allied country to attack him, Romney said, "I Do Not Concur In The Words Of Barack Obama To Enter An Ally Of Ours."

Yeah, Obama didn't win that one, did he?

They got lucky on that very lucky and they know it and so do you.  None of the past presidents could catch him, not one would give one credit for getting it done.  [/quote]

You know what they say, "you make your own luck." Obama explicitly said that if he had actionable intelligence, he would not hesitate to enter an allied country to get OBL. When he became President, he raised the priority of going after OBL. Sure, most intelligence operations involve a certain amount of luck, but the break wouldn't have come if the US hadn't been trying. Both Bush and Romney down-played getting OBL. Romney explicitly criticized Obama for his stated policy of being willing to enter an allied nation. When the time came, Obama did what he said that he would do. You are putting a lot of faith in Romney being a liar and doing what he said he wouldn't do. I'll grant you, it's a good bet that Romney is lying anytime he is talking. But, Obama made his own luck. Everyone should give him credit for that.

Our President had no substantial role in offing him other than saying YES when asked to proceed on an operation that was planned for years/months, by highly skilled leaders and special forces teams. You or I would have done the same, when presented by such a complete plan, with all kinds of mitigations and backups, using the best or intelligence and best resources, with a decent risk factor, all built by one Admiral.   Note - our president , in his usual way, also had a document signed that said he was abdicating responsibility if anything went wrong.  That's our President - taking credit when all goes well, but blameless, not engaged , not involved, if it goes badly. In the military,  the Commander is responsible and accountable.  Our president is only selectively accountable . He cherry picks.. and this was one of his cherry picks. He doesnt have many, because pretty much everything he has touched during the last 4 years has been a disaster .   Therefore, I'll stand by my statement. I will give you this: it is difficult to ascertain the truth with all the PR smoke and mirrors.

As a follow on, what president would have gone on national TV , before all the intelligence was assessed, to proclaim victory and reveal details that should not have been revealed? Is it any wonder a member of the Seal team, following our President's lead and the Administration's lead, with the numerous national security leaks, writes a book to reveal the story? The SEAL member didn't push the first domino of ubiquitous leaks and I doubt he'll be the last until our nation's extreme divisions heal. If he and his team starts to do this, then, I will give him credit.[/quote]
