Romney should point out that Obama even botched killing bin Laden
American Thinker ^ | 10/22/2012 | Fred J. Eckert

Osama bin Laden is dead and -- no question about it -- that's a very good thing.

It also seems to be just about the only thing - or at least the main thing - that Barack Obama cites as a seemingly credible accomplishment of his presidency.

But what our hopelessly pro-Obama media never point out and Mitt Romney should sometime soon, preferably during tonight's foreign policy debate, is that even while succeeding in killing bin Laden, Barack Obama once again botched things.

Obama's pitch is that George W. Bush didn't get bin Laden, but Obama did and therefore he deserves unqualified credit.

In responding to Obama's over-the-top boasting about killing bin Laden, Republicans have failed to raise and strongly stress a truly significant fact about Obama's decision-making and execution ineptitude that powerfully illustrates why Barack Obama should not be commander-in-chief.

Think about it:

We know - and the media even reported this - that when we killed bin Laden we also captured his computers and other valuable sources of information.

Yet President Obama was in such a rush to announce that bin Laden was dead, brag about it, and bask in the glory of that great event, that he called in the media for coverage well before US intelligence received the captured computers and had any time to decipher codes and study information and likely discover names and locations of other al-Qaeda operatives around the world.

Obama foolishly signaled a heads-up to every key al-Qaeda operative in the world to immediately change location before we came paying a visit.

Obama should also be asked why he was on the golf course

He'll probably have a spin to that too.

He can claim that he was playing golf in order to not tip off the enemy about what was going down in Pakistan. Nobody, least of all the enemy, would suspect that, there was any major operation underway while the president was in the golf course.

...nothing related to Zero can be verified....birth certificate, school records, father, college history....or even a cold body of Bin Laden....

One might argue it is all a fraud.... /sarcasm
