OBL is dead and all the right wing got was this lousy "I hate Obama" t-shirt-- HOWEVER--Obama Approval Ratings up *even

Maybe so, but the whole military buildup was to "get the people who did this" (actually it was to build up to get into Iraq, as noted by many).

If OBL was killed early on, Iraq wold have been a tougher sell, as it had nothing to do with 9/11.
