Obama brags he had Osama Bin Laden in his sights and took the shot. Do you think Navy SEALs have a right to be infuriated?

    I guess I missed that part. I guess spending all my time in the REAL world has its drawbacks. Please, point out where he said that. What I hear is a leader giving full credit and admiration to the brave SEALS that carried out the plan he designed with the consultation and input of the nation's military experts.

    Because the president had the final call on whether to go or not. Obama has praised them repeatedly....If the Rethugs had done the same thing....we'd never have heard the end of keeping us safe. Cheney would be out in full force/ ads would be running night and day touting this accomplishment. Obama has been quite modest about the whole thing, versus a mission accomplished banner the rethugs proudly flew...long before the real mission was accomplished. They don't call him the commander in chief for no reason. He made the call he gets the credit along with those that accomplished the mission. No one has ever claimed differently.

    Not at all.
    Simple statement of Obama's incompotence and lack of spine.
    Has he learned to pronounce "corpsman" correctly yet?
  • Haightbear Marvelo... 2012/05/07 06:55:03

    Maybe you could write him a letter asking???? I have no idea...I am more bothered by the pronunciation of TA-Lee-Bahn. Really??? Is Corpsman all you got.....seems petty. But I guess when you spend you life putting your own ratty hair on Obama's head...it's expected.

    You ask: "Maybe you could write him a letter asking????"

    I wouldn't want to take him away from his vacations or golf games so he could find someone to write what he believes for him.

    You state: "I have no idea...I am more bothered by the pronunciation of TA-Lee-Bahn."

    Has Obama learned that there are only 50 States yet?

    You state: "Is Corpsman all you got.....seems petty."

    The subject itself is about a very petty person, who doesn't appear to have accomplished ANYTHING as a State or Federal Senator, who answered "Uh, um ah present" almost exclusively. A man who, to his credit, can read the words that other people write. But doesn't seem to be able to think for himself.
    Yet, was elected President.

    You state: "But I guess when you spend you life putting your own ratty hair on Obama's head...it's expected."

    I can understand how one such as yourself might feel that way.
    It's easier that dealing with facts.

    The SEAL Creed



    In times of war or uncertainty there is a special breed of warrior ready to answer our Nation’s call. A common man with uncommon desire to succeed. Forged by adversity, he stands alongside America’s finest special operations forces to serve his country, the American people, and protect their way of life. I am that man.

    My Trident is a symbol of honor and heritage. Bestowed upon me by the heroes that have gone before, it embodies the trust of those I have sworn to protect. By wearing the Trident I accept the responsibility of my chosen profession and way of life. It is a privilege that I must earn every day.

    My loyalty to Country and Team is beyond reproach. I humbly serve as a guardian to my fellow Americans always ready to defend those who are unable to defend themselves. I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions. I voluntarily accept the inherent hazards of my profession, placing the welfare and security of others before my own.

    I serve with honor on and off the battlefield. The ability to control my emotions and my actions, regardless of circumstance, sets me apart from other men. Uncompromising integrity is my standard. My character and honor are steadfast. My word is my bond.
    We expect...

    We expect to lead and be led. In the absence of orders I will take charge, lead my teammates and accomplish the mission. I lead by example in all situations.

    I will never quit. I persevere and thrive on adversity. My Nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.

    We demand discipline. We expect innovation. The lives of my teammates and the success of our mission depend on me - my technical skill, tactical proficiency, and attention to detail. My training is never complete.

    We train for war and fight to win. I stand ready to bring the full spectrum of combat power to bear in order to achieve my mission and the goals established by my country. The execution of my duties will be swift and violent when required yet guided by the very principles that I serve to defend.

    Brave men have fought and died building the proud tradition and feared reputation that I am bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions, the legacy of my teammates steadies my resolve and silently guides my every deed. I will not fail.

    Because President Obama has time and again given full credit to the men and women of the armed services and international intelligence efforst of our countries CIA and other organization.

    The figure of speach "had him in my sites and took the shot" is an expression of command control of the incident. NOTHING MORE.

    Take your sanctimonious holier than thou attitude about this incident and put it where the sun doesn't shine.

    Obama gets credit for the kill, but there's a saturation point to the politicization of such an event. I think the political currency of this execution has been spent.

    This is their job. They follow orders, they had a mission. Handed down through channels from the CIC at the top. He did have to give the finally go or no go. If they were mad, wouldn't they be telling the news that they were the ones who really got Osama? No, they know they way it is. We will never know who these men are. That's the way they want to keep it. Navy Seals
