It's all about Pakistan now

It is funny that during the time that we brought OBL to justice (in the biggest way imaginable), there is somehow a political tint to this action (maybe the noise is there because of all of the folks saying that Obama was scared to go after him). If this event happened under Bush and ANY Democrat said anything about the raid, the right would have an absolute conniption (but it is perfectly ok for dissent, coming from the GOP base).

I'm not sure it's too terribly funny-- predictable, tedious, frustrating, disappointing come to mind.
The Obama Administration continued the Bush Doctrine and made good on GWBs promise to bring OBL to justice, and it's eating the righties up.

Surprise surprise, they want Obama to fail and would be happy for him to take the whole country down with him if it would mean a defeat for "the other side," and anything resembling success for BHO unleashes a flood of bitterness.
Who'da thunk?
:dunno:
There is some of that, to be sure. However, if the jubilation of Democrats for getting, err assassinating, BIn Laden is genuine, then they must have held the desire back for 10 years just to deny Bush the satisfaction of being right. They'd rather see Bin Laden go free rather than Bush get vindicated in his approach to terrorism. The desire for a failure in Iraq was palpable too. No less a figure than Obama did not want the surge to go on lest it succeed.
Who are you referring to, specifically? I'm referring to you, kj, billb-- you guys seem downright depressed that the Obama administration closed that deal.
