This whole attempt to spike the ball a year after the bin Laden killing is absolutely disgraceful. Obama trying to come across as a National Security hawk is laughable when you consider that it was the Bush era policies of , Guantanamo Bay, water boarding and phone monitoring that ultimately lead to the bin Laden killing.
by Toby Harnden
Serving and former US Navy SEALs have slammed President Barack Obama for taking the credit for killing Osama bin Laden and accused him of using Special Forces operators as ‘ammunition’ for his re-election campaign.
The SEALs spoke out to MailOnline after the Obama campaign released an ad entitled ‘One Chance’.
In it President Bill Clinton is featured saying that Mr Obama took ‘the harder and the more honourable path’ in ordering that bin Laden be killed. The words ‘Which path would Mitt Romney have taken?’ are then displayed.
Besides the ad, the White House is marking the first anniversary of the SEAL Team Six raid that killed bin Laden inside his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan with a series of briefings and an NBC interview in the Situation Room designed to highlight the ‘gutsy call’ made by the President.
Mr Obama used a news conference today to trumpet his personal role and imply that his Republican opponent Mr Romney, who in 2008 expressed reservations about the wisdom of sending troops into Pakistan, would have let bin Laden live.
‘I said that I’d go after bin Laden if we had a clear shot at him, and I did,’ Mr Obama said. ‘If there are others who have said one thing and now suggest they’d do something else, then I’d go ahead and let them explain it.’
Ryan Zinke, a former Commander in the US Navy who spent 23 years as a SEAL and led a SEAL Team 6 assault unit, said: ‘The decision was a no brainer. I applaud him for making it but I would not overly pat myself on the back for making the right call.
‘I think every president would have done the same. He is justified in saying it was his decision but the preparation, the sacrifice – it was a broader team effort.’
[.........]
Mr Obama has faced criticism even from allies about his decision to make a campaign ad about the bin Laden raid. Arianna Huffington, an outspoken liberal who runs the left-leaning Huffington Post website, roundly condemned it.
She told CBS: ‘We should celebrate the fact that they did such a great job. It’s one thing to have an NBC special from the Situation Room… all that to me is perfectly legitimate, but to turn it into a campaign ad is one of the most despicable things you can do.’
Campaigning in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Mr Romney responded to a shouted question by a reporter by saying: ‘Even Jimmy Carter would have given that order.’
A serving SEAL Team member said: ‘Obama wasn’t in the field, at risk, carrying a gun. As president, at every turn he should be thanking the guys who put their lives on the line to do this. He does so in his official speeches because he speechwriters are smart.
[.........]’
Chris Kyle, a former SEAL sniper with 160 confirmed and another 95 unconfirmed kills to his credit, said: ‘The operation itself was great and the nation felt immense pride. It was great that we did it.
‘But bin Laden was just a figurehead. The war on terror continues. Taking him out didn’t really change anything as far as the war on terror is concerned and using it as a political attack is a cheap shot.
[.........]
Senior military figures have said that Admiral William McRaven, a former SEAL who was then head of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) made the decision to take bin Laden out. Tactical decisions were delegated even further down the chain of command.
Mr Kyle added: ‘He’s trying to say that Romney wouldn’t have made the same call? Anyone who is patriotic to this country would have made that exact call, Democrat or Republican. Obama is taking more credit than he is due but it’s going to get him some pretty good mileage.’
A former intelligence official who was serving in the US government when bin Laden was killed said that the Obama administration knew about the al-Qaeda leader’s whereabouts in October 2010 but delayed taking action and risked letting him escape.
[........]
Brandon Webb, a former SEAL who spent 13 years on active duty and served in Iraq and Afghanistan, said: ‘Bush should get partial credit for putting the system in place.
‘Obama inherited a very robust package with regards to special ops and the intelligence community. But Obama deserves credit because he got bin Laden – you can’t take that away from him.
‘My friends that work in Special Operations Command (SOCOM) that have been on video teleconferences with Obama on these kill or capture situations say that Obama has no issue whatsoever with making decisions and typically it’s kill. He’s hitting the kill button every time. I have a lot of respect for him for that.’
But he said that many SEALs were dismayed about the amount of publicity the Obama administration had generated about SEAL Team Six, the very existence of which is highly classified.
‘The majority of the SEALs I know are really proud of the operation but it does become “OK, enough is enough – we’re ready to get back to work and step out of the limelight.” They don’t want to be continuously paraded around a global audience like a show dog.
[.........]
It was ‘stretching a little much’ for Mr Obama to suggest only he would have made the decision. ‘I personally I don’t think Romney would have any problem making tough decisions. He got a very accomplished record of making decision as a business professional.
‘He may not have charisma but he clearly has leadership skills. I don’t think he’d have any problem taking that decision.’
Clint Bruce, who gave up the chance of an NFL career to serve as a SEAL officer before retiring as a lieutenant after nine years, said: ‘We were extremely surprised and discouraged by the publicity because it compromises the ability of those guys to operate.
‘It’s a waste of time to speculate about who would and wouldn’t have made that decision. It was a symphony of opportunity and intelligence that allowed this administration to give the green light. We want to acknowledge that they made that decision.
‘Politicians should let the public know where they stand on national security but not in the play-by-play, detailed way that has been done recently. The intricacies of national security should not become part of stump speeches.’
Read the rest - SEALs slam Obama for using them as ammunition in bid to take credit for bin Laden killing during election campaign.

Some one from the Fox News group.
Get this question to Obama and the cut and run Democrats.
“Who is Sgt. Jerry Michael Shriver U.S. Army/Special Forces S.O.G.?”
“Where is Sgt. Jerry Michael Shriver now”?
Why?
Obama is LBJ down to the big ugly ears and lack of soul.
At least the SEALs are honored for their contribution. Without the enhanced interrogation techniques that Obama vehemently opposed we never would have got Bin Laden. Former head of the CIA’s Clandestine Service Jose Rodriguez was vilified as a torturer and if not for the help of friends would have gone bankrupt defending himself from the Justice Department’s witch hunt. The case was finally dropped in 2010.
The facts are clear. Obama let the scumbag live free for one year before the call was made. Most experts seem to agree that only one to two months prep would have been required. Hell, most say it could have been done in 48 hours.
There’s also a lot of evidence out there right now, that The Won didn’t really even make the call. It was done and he was advised.

Nor was tested in my life
The most difficult thing I ever did
Was contradict my wife
I say…
I got bin Laden
Though I was not involved in the plan
I got bin Laden
And I’ll broadcast from Afghanistan
Though now I’ll claim that personally
I nailed up his hide
The word is out from Washington
I took sixteen hours to decide
I say…
I got bin Laden
And I say that it’s a “gutsy call”
I got bin Laden
Remember election comes this fall
Even though Senator McCain said
Heroes don’t brag at all
Once more I take Osama’s head
And spike it like a football
I say…
I got bin Laden
Is there anyone awesome as me?
I got bin Laden
Please forget ’bout the economy…
Why did we even announce we had killed him? We should have at least gotten as much mileage out of the intel bonanza as we could before announcing it. BTW the timing of the trip to Afghanistan was coincidental according to Obama. The man really thinks the American people are all idiots, but then again he’s only half wrong.
@ Lily:
Personaly.I think that Bin Laden should have been laid
face down in a shallow grave, with raw bacon in his mouth.
He was a savage monster in life & deserved no respect.

When I said experts I’m referring to the fact that there’s a lot of ex-special forces out there that are SERIOUSLY questioning why it took a year for the op. We’ve taken out other leaders in less than 48 hours. We knew where he was, what he was doing, who came in and went out (BTW that would be the only reason to keep him alive for a year), and there’s always the worry that your target is going to flee to a new hole.

@ Mars:
Yes. But they still had to determine:
- how many civilians in the house
- the probable layout of the house
- ‘normal’ traffice in and out
(all of which required months of surveilance)
- how to go in? drones, boots on the ground?
boots on the ground was chosen because there was less chance for harm to civilians and also because of the possible retrieval of a treasure trove of intelligence.

But, whoever recommended the Ibuprofen for the arthritis hit it out of the park, cleared the pain and stiffness right up. I was using Acetaminophen and Naproxen.

@ Lily:
Yeah right. bho is trying to blow sunshine up our butts as Allen West would say.
@ Lily:
What happened? BHO couldn’t get a tee time and wound up in Afghanistan with his teleprompter instead?
@ Calo:
Apparently. Not to mention it is basically a campaign speech.
Everyone left??
Ummh hummh -- yes, Dear Leader … the sun will rise despite your idiotic statements.
The Taliban just blew up a car bomb near the US embassy in Kabul.
I thought O said they had been defeated.
@ Calo:
I noticed that he only had military equipment behind him and not soldiers. Because the last time he had soldiers behind them they didn’t really clap much for him or seem to happy with him.
@ eaglesoars:
Late to the party, but, number of civilians in the house? Give me a break! Bin Laden himself was a civilian, and a terrorist. Anyone present in that house with him, even a babe in arms, was part of his support group. Shoot them all.
Now I wouldn’t deliberately shoot infants, or tiny tots, but in that society, kids old enough to point and shoot a gun are hostiles.

Uhmmmmmmmm, yeah that might be a problem for him after he said we basically have defeated them. Why am I not *shocked* by this.

Not only that, but who the hell has been attacking our troops? zombies?
He agreed to turn Afghanistan back to the Taliban in two years. And after he left the Taliban took responsibility for the suicide attack in Kabul tonight. Yep, this is going to turn out well.

Nite {eagle}! Sleep well!
@ Calo:
Excatly….they made him look like a jackass. I hope the papers (wishful thinking) go viral with this news.
@ Lily:
Lily, I’m going up ^^^^ and seeing what Bunk put up.
@ eaglesoars:
He was both. A civilian in the sense that he was not part of any country’s regular military. An unlawful combatant, in other words.
