I watched the speech and if i'm not mistaken Obama gave the credit to those who carried out the operation. I don't know who said Bush dropped the ball I certainly didn't. But E61silver is right about one thing it would be nice if people would stop the killing. It really is pointless.

If one wants to talk about dropping the ball we need look no further than Billy Clinton.
Further, Obama can take credit for authorizing the operation but again, full credit goes to the operators who took Osama out. It's the same way I can take credit for my wife slaving for hours to make an elaborate dinner for 10 guests because I invited them.  |
