I call BS on that. Obama unarmed? The whacko slept with an AK 47 or one near reach. He was wanted DEAD OR ALIVE and wasn’t a cowboy he was a terrorist. He was armed and probably had booby traps set our wise team avoided.
If Bush continues to get any credit the media will hype this garbage and call the ACLU for Obama’s family.

all the boy did was OK something put in front of him...
and prolly in such a way as not to have to take any blame if things went south

That sounds more like the muzzie sob- that he was too cowardly to give the order.

I find it offensive to hear the words "brave" and "Obama" in the same sentence.
His amateurism and lack of patriotism have and will cost our country dearly, financially, morally and defensively!

I saw parts of the press conference. Brennen said something to the effect of ‘i’ve never seen such bravery in a commander in chief.’ Way OTT.

Oops.
IMPORTANT SPECIFIC: When 48 hour go order issued, CoC was told, not requested. Administration scrambled to abort. That order was overruled. This order did not originate from CoC. Repeat this order did not originate from CoC. He complied, but did not originate.

In fact, this weekend was such a tense time in the White House that Obama only got in nine holes of golf. But he still managed to deliver his joke script to the White House Correspondents Assn. dinner Saturday evening. Sunday was, Brennan revealed to his eager audience, "probably one of the most anxiety-filled periods of times in the lives of the people assembled here." Poor poor bureaucrats. Extra Tums all around. Did someone order dinner? Faux News is on now extolling the gutsy call of our pretender in chief - what a crock!

Did SR Military/Intel Officials Overrule President Obama on Mission to Kill Bin Laden?

RE Osama Bin Laden. Significant push to take him out months ago. Senior WH staff resisted. This was cause of much strain between HC and Obama/Jarrett. HC and LP were in constant communication over matter both attempted to convince administration to act. Administration feared failure and resulting negative impact on president. Intel disgusted over politics over national security. Staff resigned/left. Check timeline to corroborate.

Wasnt this taken right out of a Jack Ryan movie? Was this from Sum of all fears? It was in Clear and Present Danger, IIRC. One of the Clancy films with Harrison Ford.

Thank you. I was in a foul mood over this earlier in the day but now see that Bush is getting credit. You said it well.

Why are some of you ripping on the article? Yes, it’s the LA Slimes, but the piece paints this as obastard’s Dukakis moment! I *love* it!
