Judging by the overwhelming patriotism being shown about this across the country . . . I think a few people owe Bush a thank you! It took them a decade, but they finally got their man. However, it is unfortunate that the only time we feel the need to show our pride in our country is when someone dies!

I found it kind of morbid that people were celebrating for someone being killed. Don't get me, Osama Bin Laden deserved whatever punishment that he got, but it kind of irked me seeing people in the streets celebrating someone dying. Seems like even in "victory", we still don't see why we got attacked.
And this idea that this vindicates Bush, is complete bullshit. If NL4E or JitKenson is giving Bush any sort of credit, then that's the equivalent of BigUn trying to get credit for "making" Oasis and them achieving super stardom. In 8y ears, Bush did everything wrong that a President could do wrong, including putting us in Iraq when there was no concrete reason, so don't say that Bush deserves some credit. He deserves as much credit as the guy walking my dog.

Sad to see that there a few people who are just as dumb in Bush in this world. Worst yet, I don't even hate Bush, just find it sad how people are trying to re-write history. Yet not knowing what history actually is.

i hope he rots. 10 years late, but better than never. president obama was given credible information as to where osama bin laden was hiding, and he took action. not bush. barack hussein obama got it done. give credit where credit is due. i also credit where credit is due. president bush killed a monster. saddam hussein was an atrocious excuse of a human being, and we got him quick. but he was not the person who attacked new york and washington. we got close a few times during bush's two terms, but we only got him now. either way, it's not like bush was truly concerned about him.

Also, Bush started the hunt and Obama finished it. To say Bush did not play an integral part in any of this is short sighted and naive.

Here'a an analogy: Ronald Reagan over saw the end of the Cold War, but other president's played their part as well. While Reagan gets credited for ending the Cold War, work from previous administrations enabled him to get to that point.
Stop being short sighted.

Also, Bush started the hunt and Obama finished it. To say Bush did not play an integral part in any of this is short sighted and naive. The same revamping that gave the info on the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq And what did Bush finish again? Did he pressure Pakistan to let us search for Osama? No. Did he placate to the President of Pakistan and believe him when he said that Osama wasn't in Pakistan? Yes. NL4E, I think you might need to find a history book. If Bush was an integral figure, then his biggest contribution was unwittingly prolonging the search for Bin Laden. By first, going to the wrong country, 2. when finally going to the right country, making sure Pakistan was not a safe haven for him, 3. not actually pressuring Pakistan. And in terms of personnel shake ups in the CIA, there non-existent during the Bush year. Oh yeah, "you're doing a helluva jub George.!"

NL4E, you do realize your intelligence comes into serious question with your adoration of George W. Bush, right? I find it funny/intreguing how americans can be so devided and make such a big deal over politics. that's exactly what's wrong with the u.s.

While Reagan gets credited for ending the Cold War, work from previous administrations enabled him to get to that point. Stop being short sighted. This isn't a Reagan situation. The policy and approach toward Al- Queada took a 180 after Bush left office. While Bush was in offcie the focus was on Iraq and somewhat on Afghanistan, after he left the focus shifted to Afghanistan and Pakistan under Obama. Worst thing yet, they got the tip of where he was at under Bush, but he never investigated the tip. Wasn't until Obama came in and they started looking at old leads that were never investigated that they made head way. There was never that turn between presidents in the secession of the Cold War. NL4E, bring better than that.

I love a good patriotic uprising. As for the ten years thing, just look at the size of the Middle East and think of the number of caves he could've been hiding in for much of that time. And I'm not an Obama supporter, but he did get the job done, so good on him. Off to go listen to the Team America song

The worst thing is that he wasn't hiding in a ave!!!!!!!
He was in a suburban neighborhood in Pakistan, where old Generals of Pakistan go to retire. He was in the biggest house in the neighborhood. Literally!
He's been living in it for years.

I find it HILARIOUS to see republicans coming out of the woodwork giving Bush credit for this. Bush drove the US into the ground in almost every way possible. The minute Obama takes office everything became his fault. Housing market is shit, Obama did it. Jobs are disappearing, Obama's fault. War in the Middle East, Obama - what the fuck is wrong with you man? Bin Laden killed under direct order from Obama after months of investigation, somehow Bush did it.
When will this delusion stop? You people can't be serious. Why do you defend Bush so stubbornly? ALL politicians are crooked. The entire political system is broken. The government is full of corrupt assholes who only care about their own agenda and the agenda of the people slipping them money under the table. Obama is no saint and neither is Bush, but come on now. Bush was a HORRIBLE President. Obama is killing his own credibility by continuing a lot of Bush policies, but the fact that he managed to coordinate this Bin Laden attack without any leak of information for months is a testament to him and his team. It sure as hell beats making up intelligence and invading an entire country.
It's sad that some people can't swallow their hate-filled pride and just say "you know what, i gotta give him props on this one".

Off to go listen to the Team America song come on, bluemagpie. it was obvious of his general location. and in the grand scope of things the middle east is small in comparison to the entire world. it's not like he could've been anywhere else, he'd stick out like a sore thumb. and, the u.s. has the money to buy the best intelligence. 10 years is far too long.
