Another Picture

From the NY Daily News:
Between March 14 and April 28, Obama personally presided over five highly-secret National Security Council meetings where the plans to assassinate Bin Laden were forged.

During this period, Obama was being lambasted by Republicans for his hands-off handling of the Libyan revolution and accused by the GOP and Tea Party of being AWOL during the federal budget crisis negotiations.

"Why is the president not providing leadership?" asked former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a strident Obama critic and fledgling presidential candidate.

Now we know how Republicans would have handled this. We've go the last president, who strutted around on an aircraft carrier while doing his best Tom Cruise impersonation (and did everything short of taking out his dick and playing with it).

Bush also had a favorite bit of showing off Saddam Hussein's pistol to his visitors.

Contrast all that with Obama, who apparently was very much hands-on as far as the planning of the raid went. He took a huge political risk (remember how Operation Eagle Claw turned out) when he could have just ordered up a flight of B-2s to drop several 2,000 pound bombs to blast bin Ladin's compound into a massive crater. That would have been safer, with little risk of American casualties, but would have left the question open as to who was inside at the time.

Now, except for the Deathers, the question is settled. Bin Ladin sleeps with the fishes.
