W - Wants Credit For Killing bin Laden - TOO

[kpete]

W: "The work that was done by intelligence communities during my presidency was part of putting together the puzzle that enabled us to see the full picture of how bin Laden was communicating and eventually where he was hiding," he said. "It began the day after 9/11."

...................

The reality, of course, is that Bush’s attempts to capture or kill bin Laden were huge failures. While it’s been well documented that the Bush administration missed an opportunity to get bin Laden in Tora Bora in 2001, Bush himself subsequently stated publicly that he wasn’t spending much time thinking about getting him. “I truly am not that concerned about him. I am deeply concerned about Iraq,” Bush said in 2002, “I really just don’t spend that much time on him, to be honest with you.” Bush told reporters in 2006 that hunting the al Qaeda leader was “not a top priority use of American resources.”

1. I'd rather see him take responsibilty for his choices that led to economic depression.

I could care a less about who takes credit for taking Bin Laden.

Look how many lives from an unauthorized war and economic disaster Bush cost this country. When Clinton left office we had a surplus. Now look at us. Was Bush's cruasade to hunt for Saddam and Bin Laden really worth it?

2. Mommy should have shamed him when he blew up frogs with fire crackers

Of course his Mommy has no shame. George has no shame and likely will never have any shame.

9. Don't trouble mommy's beautiful mind with such petty infractions.

It might hinder his ability to be such a narcissistic sadist.

<snip>
Dick Cheney, the former US vice-president, has claimed Osama bin Laden would not have been tracked down and killed if it had not been for information gathered by torturing captured al-Qaida leaders.

In a robust defence of what he called "enhanced interrogation", Cheney said it produced "phenomenal" results and dismissed the Obama administration's investigations of its legality as "objectionable" and a "terrible precedent".

Speaking ahead of ceremonies to mark the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the former vice-president rejected accusations that the use of torture undermined the moral authority of the US overseas.

"The notion that somehow the United States was wildly torturing anybody is not true," he said. "One of the most controversial techniques is waterboarding ... Three people were waterboarded. Not dozens, not hundreds. Three. And the one who was subjected the most often to that was Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, and it produced phenomenal results for us."

6. STFU Commander Failurepants!

EVERYONE knows you let him go in Tora Bora, just like you did with his family and relatives. You let them fly out of the country right after 9/11. Now why did you do that Chimpy? I'll tell ya why, because King Bandar called you up on the phone and ordered you around like the cowardly shitstain you are!

"Yes daddy, I will send them home. No one will ask questions."

7. That's fine, as long as he takes credit for war crimes as well. n/t

8. More Lies

for the rest of their miserable lives, the lies will continue.

[DirkGently]

10. Bin Laden & 9/11 were Bush's ticket to Iraq. Past that, he couldn't be bothered.

[The Backlash Cometh]

11. Not just failures. Bush walked away from the hunt for bin Laden.

Heads on sticks to parade around. What a prize of achievement for any/all of them.
