Regarding
the unbelievable attempt to "Swift Boat" the president. A group of
partisan former military types, who are sharing their office with
Republican operatives, launched this ugly campaign that a) accuses the
president of trading on the killing Bin Laden and, b) claims the
president did not kill Bin Laden, they did. There are a few facts these
gentlemen (and I use the term loosely) conveniently left out.
First, President Obama has every right to say meeting his clearly stated objective to find Bin Laden and kill him is one of his signature accomplishments. It most assuredly is. Also, let’s remember who that despicable character was. He ruthlessly and without compassion killed thousands of defenseless Americans. Bush gave up looking for him, Obama did not. He found him and killed him. Those victims and the people that loved them deserved no less. Furthermore, they do not deserve to be used in this heartless manner against the president for political gain.
Second, and more importantly, to their allegation that the president did not kill Bin Laden, the president indeed did kill Bin Laden. The Navy Seal team was his weapon of choice. Anyone who doubts that has but to explain how the Seal team would have accomplished this feat without the impetus and authorization of the president. To say that the president is not responsible for killing Bin Laden is like saying Bin Laden was not responsible for killing all those defenseless Americans.
We can all thank Karl Rove and his ilk for using these tactics so effectively in the past that have emboldened these people to emulate him by abandoning principal, morality, honor and integrity upon the altar of political animus, political gain.
To the former Navy Seals involved, et tu, Brute??!!
