Default Obama Got Bin Laden Revisted

New stuff is gathering steam on the internet concerning the circumstances in the background of Obama getting Bin laden.

Does it matter? How true is it? Who knows? The mainstream won't tell you about it until the internet is screaming though, so maybe it's worth noticing the stories are around now.

I always had a suspicion about this one, but nothing to support it...until now.

Quote:
General Jack Keane (Retired), the former Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, told Mike Huckabee tonight that Barack Obama knew about Osama Bin Laden’s hideout since the summer of 2010.

Quote:
Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey told Sean Hannity tonight that the Obama Administration drafted a memo to protect the president from blame if the mission to kill or capture Osama Bin Laden would have failed. That way Obama could blame the general instead of taking the blame himself. Mukasey wrote about it this week in the Wall Street Journal.

The next one is kind of he said, she said. It has to do with the recent agreement signed between Karzai and Obama. Either Obama can still launch drone strikes into Pakistan from Afghanistan...

PressTV - 'Karzai-Obama deal not ending drone strikes in Pakistan'

or he can't...

The way I read it though he can still launch retaliatory strikes. However...could he launch the sort of strike he used to get Bin Laden? Doesn't look like it. So what's going to happen if they find Al-Zawahiri in Islamabad? And what's with that business of Mitt Romney wouldn't have had the balls to go in and get Bin Laden? Apparently Barrack doesn't anymore either.

And here's another one. Two years wasn't a long enough wait for Biden. He advised the President to wait longer.

Quote:
Vice President Joe Biden spoke to a conference of House Democrats in Maryland today, and in discussing the SEAL Team raid that successfully took out Osama bin Laden, he admitted that he advised President Obama not to carry out the mission because “we have to do more things to see if he’s there.”

So let's say a dirty nuke hits Washington and takes out the President. Joe Biden is your new leader. What do you do? Duck and cover waiting for the next one, I guess. Joes going to be waiting before he does anything (in a bunker would be my best guess).

Sour grapes. Slow day huh? Don't you have a life?

BTW Gen. Keane says they waited until they could confirm he was there. He says they waited because they wanted something more then circumstantial evidence. I think before you risk peoples lives you should know the target is there. Guess you and Keane disagree. So be it.

Well 2010 to 2012. Maybe a year and a half. Why quibble.

These are the raw facts. Everything is possible spin.
  • General Jack Keane (Retired), the former Vice Chief of Staff of the Army says they knew where Bin Laden was in 2010.
  • Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey told Sean Hannity tonight that the Obama Administration drafted a memo to protect the president from blame if the mission to kill or capture Osama Bin Laden would have failed.
  • Karzai and Obama signed a non-agression pact saying America would not attack neighbors from Afghanistan, unless fired upon first. (The Bin Laden raid could not have happened under such an agreement)

  • He said there was circumstancial evidence. You don't send a team in on that. So you have lied.

    That is his opinion. No proof anyone was looking for an excuse and even a moron knows who would have caught the blame had the mission gone south.

Oh for God Sakes click the links before you comment on them, will you.

The story of the agreement between Karzai is presented with two tellings of the story. In the first one it mentions there are still drone attacks.

In fact the title is "'Karzai-Obama deal not ending drone strikes in Pakistan" In the other link it suggests there should not be drone strikes.

This is why I specifically tell you the story is "He said, She said.

Also the first link says...

Quote:
According to the agreement the US cannot launch any attack on other states from Afghanistan soil after 2014. However, in the event of threats to Afghanistan the two countries can respond.

"There is nothing in this agreement that precludes the right of self-defense for either party and if there are attacks from the territory of any state aimed at us we have the inherent right of self defense and will employ it," Crocker added.

The US resumed its drone operations in Pakistan in recent weeks after having halted the strikes in November 2011, when 24 Pakistani soldiers were killed in NATO airstrikes at two checkpoints on the Afghan border.
and the second link says...

Quote:
Also, the deal does not bar the United States from attacking jihadi targets in Pakistan with missiles launched from aircraft, ships or submarines in the Indian Ocean.
So in both tellings of the tale there is wiggle room for drone attacks to continue, especially at this moment.

However even with the first one I don't see how an attack such as the one that got Bin Laden could be launched after 2014.

Dude, Your entire thread starts off with falsehoods and assumptions. You took them as truth and supportive of your hate agenda. TURN THE COMPUTER OFF. You are spending way too much time on hate sites.
