Joe Biden Calls Bin Laden Raid The Most ‘Audacious Plan’ In 500 Years
Yahoo News ^ | 3/20/12 | Oliver Knox

Posted on 03/19/2012 10:21:49 PM PDT by Lmo56

Vice President Joe Biden said Monday that the raid that killed Osama bin Laden was the most "audacious plan" of the past 500 years. Biden's comments, made at a Democratic fundraiser in Morris Township, NJ, ranked the May 2011 assault that ended the Al-Qaeda chief's life above the D-Day invasion of Normandy in 1944, the surprise landing at Inchon in 1950 that turned the tide of the Korean War or, going back a bit further, George Washington's daring night-time crossing of the Delaware River before the Battle of Trenton in 1776.

I’m thinking when we shot down Yamamoto in his bomber - that was pretty “audacious”. 1000 miles in modified P-38’s.

Amelia Earhart - that was an Audacious Plan.

I think the earlier poster with the moon landings though might have the most Audacious Plan. Especially with the technology they had back then. (Well - no technology really, until they created it for the moon mission.)

I can list at least 50 military events, but I won’t. By the way, where the hell are the pictures of this raid? I guess this administration realized the American public has gotten pretty good at spotting fakes.

What a loser. George Washington was on the front lines. That was only 235 years ago. These libs will say anything to give their boy king a boost.

"audacious plan" "moon landing"

Funny how, in almost 43 years, I've never heard about Nixon landing on the moon, yet in so few months, I've never stopped hearing about Obama getting Osama.

If Obama Got Osama, Nixon Landed on the Moon

Biden has just perpetrated the greatest feat of hyperbole in the last millennium.

Which immediately raises the question, what event occurred 500 years ago that he considers to be more daring, or equally daring? Nothing, of course. He is just talking out of his hat.

Biden has got to be the most loose thinking person in national office in the past twelve years. One must go all the way back to the Clinton administration to find such jive talking tools.

The river was the Delaware, Washington crossed from Pennsylvannia into New Jersey. Joe is from Pennsylvannia and is a carpetbagging in Delaware.

Yes, the Yamamoto shoot-down ranks up there. I want to add another - tracking down and killing the the murderers of the Israeli Olympic team.

“Us Putzs are very offended by being compared to Joe Biden.”

That makes two of us.
