BF2S Forums Obama Press Conference: Bin Laden Is Dead

Reciprocity wrote:

this morning I listened to my boss explain that Obama has co-opted the navy seals to operate as his own personal death squads.  He's convinced that Obama ordered the "assassination" of bin Laden expressly for the puprose of protecting some dangerous, unknown secret that would cost Obama his political future. 

The fact that this happend under Obama's watch is, I think, too much for him to handle.  The only way he can compute it is to somehow twist Obama into the aggressor and bin Laden into some kind of victim.  I think that's the only way the information will fit into his head.  I wish I was joking.

You live in Jackson County...

tbh I'm not sure how this will affect Obama's re-election. George Bush Sr had amazing approval ratings after the Gulf War, but by the time the election rolled around he lost.

It will be forgotten in less than a months time. People have short attention spans.

The only thing that annoys me (and only to a minor degree) is how everyone is acting like Obama strangled Osama with his own two hands. Most likely the most Obama did was say "okay go ahead" when intel came through. I guess it's American tradition to put everything on the president.

Anyways, I was watching the local Fox channel when they interrupted Simpsons for the news. Geraldo Rivera had fucked up and said "It's confirmed, Obama is dead." He's getting too old for that sort of thing.

Go home ATG.

No.  ATG is fine by me.

Uh, no. Nobody I've seen is saying this was all Obama's doing. Almost every statement I've seen is in support of the SEALs. What I've also seen is people giving Obama a piece of the credit, which he absolutely deserves. Is he the main reason for this? No. Was it as simple as just saying "yes"? Absolutely not.

It really was though. You think he's taken any part in planning operations? I would hope not. He's got zero military background. About the only role he would play is to say 'go'. To then get credit is rather absurd.

Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly how it went... what happens if it fails? What happens if the compound if boobytrapped and all of ST6 there gets blown to bits? What if the proper planning isn't done and he slips away again? What if the whole situation goes Carter-Iran hostage situation? There's so many things that had to be taken into considering, and I'm sure Obama was thoroughly involved with them. Brennan was right. It was a gutsy decision, because this could have gone very poorly for us. It didn't, and it was handled with much dilligence by all involved. For that I'm grateful.

I'm no huge Obama fan, but to not give him some credit where it's due on a major success like this is the only thing that's absurd.

I'm telling you right now, the guy had zero involvement. Any intelligent person would leave it to professionals to handle. I dislike Obama, but he's no dummy.

Nah he gave direct orders like the commander in BF2.

I tip my hat to the Intelligence Community and then also to President Obama for authorizing this.

When I was at the WTC site last night I can assure you I didn't hear Obama's name more than once or twice.

Citation needed.

A two second Google search.


I guess the choice of titles are just supposed to be satirical. Or maybe they just have a "type Barrack Obama's name" quota they need to reach. I dunno.

A bunch of blogs and a FunnyJunk link. Quite the evidence here.

Evidence of what? I was just showing that people ARE acting like it. I never said everyone was.

2 articles about a quote from Rove, the rest along the lines of "Bush couldn't do it in 8, Obama did it in 3."

Was he calling in artillery strikes and dropping cars on snipers?

and occasionally using the "You are the worst squad I've ever had the misfortune to see!" followed by a "jk guys lol"

the 'jk guys lol' is what makes #winning happen

had this gone bad I can just imagine conservatives going unhinged with accusations that obama wasted american lives when an ordnance strike would have done the same job.
