If Obama isn't responsible for killing Osama...

(because he ordered the kill but didn't personally carry it out), THEN...

Does this mean Osama isn't responsible for 9/11...

(Because he ordered the attacks but didn't personally carry them out)?

[Credit addicting Info].

GOP-think makes my brain hurt.

As C-in-C, President Obama HAD to have given the order to proceed with the mission. They were all there in the situation room as it happened. It clearly came from the top down.

Yes, it did. But Republicans are playing the word-humping game, trying to make it look like Obama is taking credit for something he "didn't actually do".

By their logic, then, I could hire a hit man to kill my enemy (whoever he may be), equip and train him to carry out the killing, and order him to go out and do it, but NOT be guilty of murder-for-hire. After all, I didn't carry out the actual killing myself, did I?

This kind of twisted GOP logic makes me crazy.

Osama planned, funded, and directed. Obama allowed. There is a difference when you say "I did."

And, of course, it's mockery of "You didn't build that."

Did you build the road outside your business? Of course not. Did you build the network (hint: a Democratic President in the 1990s passed a tax break that encouraged it) we're on right now? Or the building your shop is located in? Or the drainage system that protects your inventory in the basement from being flooded?

NO. Someone else did. Sometimes it's another company, sometimes the government. We are all interconnected. Get over it.

Uh-huh. Guess what, Obama's government also planned, funded and directed. Epic fail on your part.

And if you go back and watch his full announcement on the killing (instead of the edited GOP short version), you will see he credited 10 years of planning and intelligence work for the kill. And yes, that 10 years goes back into the Bush administration. So he spread the credit all around, where it is due.

Obama would have been better off if he added one word to his rant: "alone ."

But there is more to it than that. I'm also a regular listener to NPR, and well before Obama's speech they were setting up the theory that those who do well (they were particularly talking about inventions) didn't do anything special; they were just lucky.

On topic to SubChat, you could say that of the electric streetcar. It was so obviously needed that many inventors worked on it. But Sprague made it technically and commercially viable in all kinds of conditions and all kinds of weather, and he proved it. This is why Sprague is the father of electric railways and rapid transit, not Siemens or Van Depoele.

The difference is obvious if you aren't a moron. This was a high level action that he personally tracked and authorized. You blame him for low level events that there's no way that he would have been aware of, much less involved prior to them happening.

He didn't even allow, he merely continued a Bush policy: kill Osama on sight. It was probably the easiest presidential decision since Roosevelt decided to ask Congress to declare war on Japan on December 8, 1941.

The comparison is accurate, though. If the GOP claims Obama didn't deserve credit for the OBL raid because others carried it out per his orders, then so, too, by their logic, OBL isn't responsible for 9/11. Can't have it both ways.

That's because the operation was successful. Had it gone horribly wrong, it would've been all President Obama's fault.

Shit, did you catch Bush's reaction to bin Laden's killing? The asshole was BEREAVED!!! He lost a FAMILY FRIEND I call the GOP Nazis because they ARE CONNECTED TO the Nazis of the Third Reich as well as al Qaeda. Idiot suckholes like Mr. MaBSTOA need to study the connections between the NSDAP, the GOP and al Qaeda. Here's a couple keywords for Google:
"Prescott Bush Nazi Germany"
"Afghan mujahideen bin Laden"
"Reagan 1980 Campaign Iran Hostage Crisis"

Republicanism and it's corrupt ideology should be declared CRIMINAL and it's adherents given a chance to recant their former ideology and lose the right to vote. Their connection to all of the major world evils of the last hundred years except communism should PROVE that it is IMPOSSIBLE to be a Republican and a good member of the human race, let alone a good American Citizen.
