Osama Bin Laden was killed not by a drone strike, but up close during a firefight with U.S. troops Sunday. He was not living in a cave when he died, but in a million-dollar mansion with twelve-foot walls less than 100 miles from the Pakistani capital.
"The United States has conducted an operation that has killed Osama Bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda and a terrorist who's responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent men, women and children," said President Obama Sunday night in an address to the nation. "A small team of Americans carried out with the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. After a firefight, they killed Osama Bin Laden, and took custody of his body.
Congratulations to our Brave Men and Women of the military and intelligence who carried out this mission. Thank you all for serving our great country.
This is GREAT, but what comes to mind and is very interesting is that Obama knew all this while he stood there making Jokes about Donald Trump. Sign of a Genius? Not really, to me it was as stupid and childish and Un-Presidential as you can get.
But today, lets give thanks to the intelligence of the USA and the Brave Navy Seals....
The credit goes to the Navy Seals Special Operations force and members of the intelligence community who found Bin Laden, found him and killed him. Do I give any credit to Obama, sure I do, he is the Commander in Chief and ultimately makes the decisions and gives the order. So in that regard, I do give him "some" credit. But lets not over-rate his part in it.
And one more thing. If the liberals who complained that water-board someone will never help, if these people got their way we would have never received this information from the Gitmo detainees. Without Gitmo,and without "water-boarding" this would have not come to pass.
