    How many top Al-Qaida leaders do you suppose we would have to kill before the Republicans would give our President any credit?

    Scott, the republicans will never give the president credit, they will say it was all done with the information gather under Bush.

    I will give the people under president Bush credit for setting up the information network, but he loses points when he went to Iraq. I do give this president credit for sticking to the task at hand when it comes to going after the terrorist.

    Of course it is all the hard working people in government jobs that is getting the job done.

    I was just thinking yesterday how well our military/intelligence has been recently under President Obama. But then I harken back to when President Obama blamed the struggling economy on "bad luck". So I wonder if our President will hold a press conference blaming these military accomplishments on dumb-luck.

    I think all of you need to pay closer attention to where you are posting threads........this probably falls under politics............isn't the president political? You've been reprimanded again.

    Scott,
    you are correct, and I have have been wrong about our president he is clearly the best president of my lifetime. Allowing the military and intelligence operations in the field to continue to do their jobs is unprecedented, I always suspected Mr. Bush was protecting terrorists if not outright harboring him at his Crawford Ranch. I am also extremely impressed with this administrations dedication to our civil liberties at home, and his dedication to his campaign promises in undoing the former presidents policies.

    The current rhetoric by the administration and its very close friends in the labor unions has me optimistic about this countries future, as an added bonus he has treated Texas extremely fairly with both EPA policy and FEMA emergency loans after our hurricanes a couple of years back and the current wildfires.

    Adding the extremely common dunes sagebrush lizard to the endangered list and making sure we kept those space shuttles away from mission control for NASA is a great bonus.

    president for life-we can do it

    greatest.president.ever.

    and the best part about it is 100% of the 12000 were terrorists no civilians or collateral damage, unlike when the other guy was in office they must have literally asked each individual before shooting, and we are completely out of Iraq and Afghanistan while closing Gitmo. Part of West Point training should be being a community organizer.

    I am pretty sure the military does not count civilians as "terrorists". Maybe someone with military experience could chime in on that one. Organizing communities is a huge part of conducting anti-insurgent activities. It is not all killing.
