DALLAS (AP) Flag-waving supporters left flowers and patriotic red, white and blue balloons outside the Dallas home of former President George W. Bush Monday in the hours that followed the U.S.-led mission that killed Osama bin Laden.
Thank you President Bush, said a sign left on the gate outside the street leading to the secluded Bush residence.
About a dozen people gathered near his security-tight residence until a thunderstorm rolled into the area early Monday.
George Bush did so many great things for our country. We really wanted to be with him to celebrate this momentous day in American history, Billy Fox, a college student, told WFAA-TV.
We love America, said Fox, who held a U.S. flag. This hangs in my dorm room every day, its my roommates, and I said we had to bring it out to celebrate America.
Bush, who was home when he learned of bin Ladens death late Sunday, released a statement congratulating President Barack Obama and praising the U.S. military personnel involved in the operation in northern Pakistan. Bush was in power on 9/11 when terrorists commandeered four commercial jets, crashing them in New York City, Washington D.C. and in Pennsylvania, killing nearly 3,000 people.

PATRIOTS PING!
I bet that the CIA would have gone in anyway. Just no way would they have let Obama let Osama get away.
A lovely thought, but no such luck. Besides, do you want Obama enshrined like JFK?
It’s heartening to know that some Americans thought to share their celebration with President Bush. I know he is as proud of the team that carried out this mission as if it had happened under his command.
I know one thing this will cause. There are going to be a lot of guys at bars and clubs claiming to be Navy Seals or ex-Seals in order to pick up women, just like they claimed to be firefighters after 9/11 to score.
Of course the shameless impeached perjurer had to weigh in, too.
Agreed, the pig is probably on a slab at Langley by now.
bttt
I tend to agree. But then Holder would have had them up on charges in a heart beat.
God Bless America and thank you for laying the groundwork for this "event!!!"
Dittos to what you said!
And when the Libs realize we are not getting out Afganistan and Iraq, the will be pissed.. They think WOT IS over and it isn’t.
What’d you expect...his poll numbers are tanking...it was all about him...so why not...it’ll make ME ME ME look good.
Ol’ Bin baby be yukkin it up wit John Murtha an Teddy Kennedy dis minute!
I might not have agreed with you on SPENDING -- the War ON Terror was your 'reaganques' moment.
BHO, enjoy your 72 Helen Thomases!!
BHO, Thank you for NOT doing your campaign promise of getting rid of the WAR ON TERROR!!!
Bush was a class act. I wish he had gotten bin Laden on his watch. Obama is a sad excuse for a President.
I love W... always will.
Like our beloved Marines, I believe that there is no such thing as an “ex-SEAL”, my FRiend ; }
And for what it is worth, (Thread Hijack Alert), IMHO, the sudden “buried at sea” business moves this whole deal into WhatTheHeck!? territory : /
Going on record here, that the moment I heard that report, I knew that not only could I no longer believe ANYTHING the media and/or the government tells me, (since they are for all intents and purposes, one and the same), but that even if it all was true, that I still can not trust any of them to do the right thing for us. Any decisions that are made, any “news” that is reported, is to serve someone’s purpose at the expense of our nation.
May God continue to bless and watch over those who serve, and may He give the rest of us strength and wisdom whenever we find ourselves in need of it.
