President Flip-Flop Takes Credit for Capture!

Disclaimer: Hat tip to Pres. Obama for authorizing the mission to enter the Pakistani compound and use deadly force without advising the Pakistani government of our intentions. I salute you for that decision! You are also recognized for your phone call to Pres. GW Bush to celebrate the great news, although it was despicable of you not to mention him in your speech, other than one, inconsequential remark. However, the absolute credit goes to our military supremacy, specifically our Navy Seals, and the execution of their plan. 

A brief synopsis of what we know now from the military officials. The primary tip originated from a courier being detained in GITMO where effective interrogating techniques began with this subject back in 2007. Let me repeat—the road to this capture began at GITMO under Pres. Bush.

Let’s take a quick glance at the collective group of the war on terrorism legislation that played a role in the capture of Bin Laden and the positions of Bush and Obama:

Warrantless wiretapping— concerns surveillance of persons within the United States during the collection of foreign intelligence as part of the war on terror. Initiated by/supported by Bush. Obama vehemently campaigned against it, but entered office and flip-flopped in April 2009 and embraced it.

GITMO- Detention facility opened up under Pres Bush in 2002 in Guantanamo Bay to hold war on terror prisoners. Obama campaigned to close it and wanted to transition military tribunals to civilian courts in U.S. cities. He then flip-flopped this year conceding it was best to leave military detention ‘as is’.

Water boarding/Interrogating Techniques- Interrogation technique which water is poured over the face of an immobilized captive, causing the individual to experience the sensation of drowning. Used since 1976 and supported by Bush. Opposed by Obama as a form of torture. But no worries here folks, the Lefties are ecstatic about the 2 bullets in Bin Laden's skull, but dousing one's face with a lil H20 is horrendous!

Signing statements- A so-called “work around” to redefine legislation. Used by Bush, campaigned against by Obama, and then flip-flopped and began using the process.

Indefinite detention- The incarceration of an arrested person by a national government or law enforcement agency without a trial. Supported by Bush for war terrorists, campaigned against by Obama, and then flip-flopped on March 7, 2011 and now approves.

The Patriot Act- was signed into law by Pres. Bush on October 26, 2001. Provided appropriate tools required to intercept and obstruct terrorism. Then-Senatorial candidate Obama in 2003 branded the Patriot Act "shoddy and dangerous" and pledged to dump it. He then flip-flopped as President and extended the Act in 2009.

The Protect America Act- Signed in 2007 by Bush. It removed the warrant requirement for government surveillance of foreign intelligence targets "reasonably believed" to be outside of the United States. As a Senator, voted against by now President Obama.

Military Commissions Act- Authorized trial by military commission for violations of the law of war, and for other purposes, signed by Bush in 2006. In 2009, under Obama, Act was amended to “improve protections for defendants charge with war crimes”.

My (few) Lib friends were right in 2008 when they said "Dave, if you vote for McCain, you will get a continuation of Bush’s wartime policies." I DID---THEY WERE RIGHT!

Facts are facts. The White House was a passenger on a train engineered by President Bush. At very best, President Obama has been a very reluctant Commander in Chief. His taking credit for the operation that led to OBL's non-stop ticket to Hell is nauseating. The game was won, we inserted Obama in to pitch the 9th inning, now the Left wants to name him the winner in the box score!

A great day for freedom, a great day for America and a great day for liberal hypocrisy!
