Good Day,

Bingo...

And let us not forget the carefully crafted memo from Panetta...

"Received phone call from Tom Donilon who stated that the President made a decision with regard to AC1 [Abbottabad Compound 1]. The decision is to proceed with the assault. The timing, operational decision making and control are in Admiral McRaven’s hands. The approval is provided on the risk profile presented to the President. Any additional risks are to be brought back to the President for his consideration. The direction is to go in and get bin Laden and if he is not there, to get out. Those instructions were conveyed to Admiral McRaven at approximately 10:45 am."

LMAO,Dead by Dawn!

Notice THE USA MEDIA didn't report this.We have to read the U.K. Daily Mail to get any other perspective besides the daily barrage of pro-Obama news stories from USA 'news' sources.

I knew who started this thread before I even opened it. It is good to know that there is some consistency in the world, even if it is the fact that there will always be lies started to fan the flames of ignorance.

JHC, enough already; any president alive enough to fog a mirror at the time would have done the same thing; with or without their cadre of fall-back people.

I might if he were the only Seal expressing this opionion. You're not too far gone to recognize that the opinion expressed is not just by one person, right? I mean, c'mon, Blue...even Ariana Huffington blasted Obama for using the Seals as political ammunition and she's about as far left as you can get! I'd say dicounting someone's opinion simply because of the letter behind their name and not on the basis of their ideas is taking the low road, especially when people on BOTH sides of the aisle are taking issue with it but you can go there if you want...Bubbly can keep you company. So...forgetting that people on both sides of the aisle agree with the man, is being a former Seal not qualification enough for him to comment in your estimation or is it just being a Republican that disqualifies his opinion?

I'm just hoping Obama, will get a fighter pilot's jacket, and have his photo taken on an aircraft carrier, with an Osama Bin Laden RIP sign, in the backround.....or, has that been done to death?

Wow, Blue ... attacking a former Navy Seal now? I'm not sure what sacrifices you've made for your country, maybe many, but one thing is certain, that former Navy Seal certainly has made enough to earn a right to side with whatever political party he chooses without some smartass belittling his right to free speech, especially on a subject I'm guessing he knows a lot more about than you.
LOL ... what's happening to you? You're turning into "Bob" right before our eyes.

I've known both Navy seals and Secret Service agents before....even trained several in a certain technique...they are no more knowledgeable in political matters, than you or i....make sure, you limit the name calling, to your keyboard....what i am questioning, is a now, professional politician, using his previous service(which, BTW came with a security clearence) to question the patriotism of our President.....i am sure he knows, well enough, to respect the office, even if you don't respect the man.....certain oaths and allegiances are formed, that don't wear off, when the uniform is removed.....

So when the UK had articles about Bush they were the truth, but now that they are about Obama they're lies.

Gotcha!

He can still have an opinion on the President. The difference now is that he isn't wearing the uniform so he can express it without fear of losing his job. And when the military and others questioned the patriotism of GW, you certainly didn't get your undies in a bunch. Get over it.
