Unfortunately, I dont think this means anything at all. There's 100's ready to step in and take his place, if they hadn't already. Bin Laden is now a folk hero in Islamic world, but that's the only position he's held for quite some time. Some time after the first 3 times he killed Americans was the time to take Bin Laden out. Once the 9/11 attacks happened, I don't think it mattered anymore.

Kinda reminds me when, only moments after taking the oath of President, Reagan was able to announce the release of "the hostages", though he had little to do with it. Though I'm a big Reagan supporter, not really fair to Carter.

Don't think Obama had much to do with this.

Don't think Obama had much to do with this. UBL was likely more a distraction by staking resources trying to capture a symbolic figure rather than people actually putting operations in motion.

As retired military I find it scary to have such an administration is charge of our military and security. I told my wife the night I seen this unfold that Obama appeared to look confused about what was going on. It appeared to me that he was being pushed into doing something he was against. Obviously he didn't want to look like the "bad guy" in the eyes of fellow Muslims.

Also, if you believe something you read in an article at Socyberty, then I would like to sell you a twelve story beachfront home in Billings, Montana.

Socyberty is not a reputable news source. It relies on users written articles, the majority of which take ludicrous positions on ludicrous topics. It is no better than the Weekly World News. Do you believe there is a vampire living in a penthouse suite in New York who spends 70k a month on hookers that he kills? Might as well!

So, you are willing to listen to what a completely unsourced article on a completely unvalid website says just to satisfy your need to believe Obama is a Muslim from Kenya that would never authorize the killing of his fellow Muslim Osama bin Laden, despite many many many more reports that say Obama was the one who authorized not only the killing but the entire operation?

Makes sense.

Makes sense.

It makes about as much sense as Obama taking credit for hunting down OBL.
I never once heard Obama saying that he will make it one of his top priorities to take out the worlds most wanted fugitive until AFTER he was killed. Have you?
As for the article. There is way to much information written that the average person like you and I would not have known. You have to agree on that. If not, then you need to remove your blinders. :cool:

I have. During his campaign, all he talked about when wartime strategy was discussed was moving our resources to Afghanistan and increase the manpower in the hunt for UBL and other senior al Qaeda operatives.

Did you not watch the primaries and the presidential debates?

I'd be more than happy to believe this article if:

-the author was not some dude named "Ulsterman" whose entire back catalog of articles are dedicated to bring Obama down (obvious bias and the first rule of journalism is to eliminate bias)

-there were ANY sources. the only source is a White House insider, but this "insider" is telling confidential secrets to a blogger named Ulsterman?

-this wasn't published on a site that also has articles called "Emma Watson Nude at Brown" and "Girls Love Anal Sex"

Look, I can believe that Obama hesitated due to the ramifications of his decision and deferred to someone else to make the choice IF there was some kind of actual evidence for it. I learned in my journalism class not to trust unsourced articles found on blogs that rely on user submitted content though. Until I see proof, I'll stick with the story that can be backed up. But please, if you find real evidence of this, let me know.

...or when he sent 17,000 extra troops (a 50% increase over previous numbers) to Afghanistan immediately after taking office in the hunt for UBL.

Seems I remember a very "legitimate" news anchor, losing his job a few years back when he ran with this kind of story, and didn't have any facts. Believe his thought was something like "listen to my story, (that has no proof) and decide for yourself. What was his name???? Hmmmmm. Dan something or other maybe?

The shift to Afghanistan was nothing more than a stragic foothold in the middle east. Once we got our foot in the door in Iraq it was bound to happen with any administration. Yes I watched the presidential debates, and the thing I remember was the criticism towards GW for getting us the war and how Obama was going to bring our troops home. I was still in the military at the time, so don't think I didn't take notice to that. The reality was the US government have no intentions of leaving the worlds richest oil region. Mark my words on that. Never once did I hear Obama say they were going after OBL personally. I would like to read or see some kind of interview TIME DATED with Obama saying that.

While I admit the article being unsigned leaves doubt, however the specifics don't. Like I said, none of us on here could have written something like that in detail without having some kind of inside information.

Obama on invading Pakistan/finding al Qaeda from 2007 (during primaries) (http://www.wnyc.org/shows/bl/2007/aug/03/)

From 2008 Presidential Debate--Talks about invading Pakistan to get UBL (http://www.slate.com/id/2201811/)

Look, I'm not saying I'm a fan of the President, but I'll call it down the middle.

In the first link Obama doesn't really talk about going after OBL, but in the second link there is mention of Obama invading Pakistan to get OBL. So I will give credit where credit is due. :clap:
Wow, I wonder how Obama knew OBL was hiding in Pakistan? :confused:
And if he knew, what took him so long to go after him?
It makes one wonder.:thinking:

However, thanks for posting the second link because it lead me to this link, which in a way supports the first link I posted.

Obama said his advisers expressed doubts — some of which he also shared
And from the washington post, which is well known.

Incidently Valerie Jarrett is from Iran. No wonder she was against a raid in Pakistan.

Actually anyone could write that article without inside information
