It's not like they killed or captured Osama Bin Laden. And if that's the case,
why are they being given so much face time, and talking as though they are
experts on Osama Bin Laden being Captured/killed?

I saw Condoleeza Rice just now.
I saw former CIA director on Charlie Rose last night
I'm seeing more of George Bush then I had bargained for
and I saw Dick Cheney (looking like death warmed over) yesterday.

The fact is the 9/11 attacks happened ON THEIR WATCH!
the fact that they have ever been treated as heros
is still one of those national WTF disgrace.
A bullhorn and a big mouth does not a hero make......
after one has fucked up (costing countless lives and treasure) in a huge ass way!

WHY?

What is the media's agenda considering I didn't want to see any of them
ever again.

2. To head off any questions
Edited on Tue May-03-11 11:11 AM by Turbineguy
about their incompetence or collusion in not taking ObL out. This is one where they want to crow about what a great job Obama and his team did to hype how difficult it was (and it no doubt, was difficult and well beyond the capabilities of the Bush admin).

8. They should tell them...
It's easy to be incompetent when you don't try.

4. They are peeing on Obama's parade because they are jealous.
Bush missed his chance of killing Bin Laden and now wants to take part of the credit.

6. To avoid war crimes trials...
Bin Laden is dead, and everyone is somewhere between relieved and overjoyed. IN this moment of good feeling, they must justify their breaches of the Geneva Convention and common human decency. They are desperate to reduce the possibility of war crimes trials over torture, extraordinary rendition, etc.

9. CNN hired many Bush retreads.
One of them actually had the nerve to say that Bush Jr. kept us safe as if his term started 09/12/2011.

10. On Fox especially, they're all taking a victory lap.
Another GOP attempt to rewrite history and grap credit for that which they in truth failed at.

11. The same reason jackals harass lions after a lion has made a kill.
They can't or won't make the effort, so they steal.
