Carlton's Corner: Let's be clear

May 14, 2011

FROM A RECENT EMAIL:  "Let's be clear on this: OBAMA did NOT kill Bin Laden. An American sailor, who Obama just a few weeks ago was debating on whether or not to PAY, did. In fact, if you remember a little less than two years ago, his administration actually charged and attempted to court marshall 3 Navy Seals from Seal Team Six, when a terrorist suspect they captured, complained they had punched him during the take down and bloodied his nose. His administration further commented how brutal they were. The left were calling them Nazi's and Baby Killers. Now all of a sudden the very brave men they villified, are now heros when they make his administration look good in the eyes of the public. Obama just happened to be the one in office when the CIA finally found the bastard and our sailors took him out. Essentially, Obama only gave an answer. Yes or No, to him being taken out. This is NOT an Obama victory, but an AMERICAN victory!!

I would take this a bit further by the pretty good evidence that CIA Dir Panetta made the final decision because the "window of opportnuity" could'nt wait for the vascillating POTUS .Actually, a coup would be a good description.What else could one expect from a Senator that could only vote " present" in most cases

And, of course, Obama reaped the kudos , portraying himself as the "decisive POTUS"

You see --Obama was in a win-win situation-had the op gone south, Panetta would have been odd man out and the patsy .Successful mission and he (Obama) the decisive POTUS of the century.

Slick Willy has nothing on this piece of work!
