McCain: Pakistan is a very important element in this, and I know how to work with them. And I guarantee you, I would not publicly state that I’m gonna attack them.
Obama: Nobody talked about attacking Pakistan. Here’s what I said. And if John wants to disagree with this, he can let me know, that, if the United States has al Qaeda, bin Laden, top-level lieutenants in our sights, and Pakistan is unable or unwilling to act, then we should take them out. Now, I think that's the right strategy; I think that's the right policy.

Perhaps now. Strange times sometimes call for solutions not usually used. Can you imagine the frustration knowing where Bin Laden was holed up and having the president and Jarrett dithering about the politics involved? Patraeus spent a whole lot of time and effort (along with many other) to capture Bin Laden. Supposedly that was a huge part of our mission in Afghanistan.
Remember Obama the candidate dissing our involvement in Iraq and saying that our focus should have been on Afghanistan and capturing Bin Laden? If this the leak was true (and I strongly suspect the Clinton camp of leaking it if it was true), then it was wrong for Obama to push the others involved to the point where they would have to do an end run around him.

Except that he didn't do it. The hated Democrat that did it was Leon Panetta, who isn't exactly known around here as a tea partying conservative. The issue is not which party killed Bin Laden, it's Obama's competence, which you keep pretending exists. He has no experience as an administrator or executive, has never run anything before being put in the most difficult leadership position in the world, and is now failing massively. If it weren't for the media's deliberate refusal to cover his failures, his approval rating would be in single digits. The people who cannot bear to face the truth about Obama are liberals who have been told that this clueless dilletante had the chops to run the most powerful nation in the world.
The crew of an aircraft carrier wouldn't have cheered him when he took credit for other people's courage and skill.
No, but you do. Let us know when you've figured out that this guy has no clue. We'll be glad to remind you about how often and deeply you were wrong in defending him.--Odysseus
