Former Presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton Issue Statements on Osama Bin Laden Death

Great day for the country.
PS: It’s been more than TWO decades of murderous attacks, Bill…

There is no way that GW came up with that response all by himself…

Thanks to Pres Bush and our military for all you’ve done for our country! Enemies of America: you can run, but you can’t hide. No matter how long it takes, you will be brought to justice!

That all this involved for bring Osama to justice.

Thank you Pres Obama you were the one to get it done. Thank you for focusing on the job and nothing else.

Thank you President Obama!!!! 2012!!!

Bush did nothing. Thank you Obama.

Bush made this happen after two years out of office? your head must be stuck in the sand. He left Afghanistan to pursue Iraq without finishing the job and he had the no shame to declare Mission Accomplished.

THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA! YOU KEPT YOUR CAMPAIGN PROMISE AND MADE THIS POSSIBLE! BUSH COULDN’T…..CONGRATS ON YOUR UPCOMING RE-ELECTION!

Pakistan’s intelligence agency assisted according to news reports. Great job president Obama on calling in the orders – the world is a better place now.

So are Republicans somehow contorting their minds to make themselves think Bush is responsible for this?
Congratulations to President Obama for his accomplishment.

THIS WAS PRESIDENT BUSH!!!! GOD BLESS THE USA!!!! AND ALL OUR BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN RISKING THEIR LIVES EVERYDAY PROTECTING OUR COUNTRY!!!!!!

Thank you President Obama for using smart, actionable intelligence in our fight on terrorism.

Thank you President Bush! Good thing Gitmo is still in operation!

Can you guys stop bickering already?
How about: “Thanks to hard work from everyone.”

Bush, you’re still a worthless tool.

(un)REA LITY: You had to go there on this great day for America? When slick willie conveniently trimmed off the first 8 years of Bin Ladens attacks? When it took your hero 0bama an extra hour to program his telepromter tonight?

Its funny, Obama inherited Bushs recession, but somehow, Obama did this whole war on terror thing all on his own, even after campaigning against it, voting to defund, ect ect. Obama even said in his video, TODAY he authorized this mission, the real news is the mission was executed a WEEK AGO, that means Obama is a whole week out of the loop!
Thank You Prez Bush!

To George W. Bush and Barak Obama I say thank you for what you have done for to keep this country. To Bill Clinton I say you were a horrible commander in chief and I hate you.

It is amazing that people are thanking GWB who instead of going after this Bin Laden, created a weapon of mass deception and went to Iraq and let this wretched Laden live so long – you Americans are interesting !
Thank the Intel, Military and Obama.

Thank you, President Bush!

Great day for America, remember Obama pulled 30,000 troops out in order to focus on the hunt for bin laden and destroy al-qaeda.

Osama Bin Laden’s body has FREEZER BURN from all the years in cold storage.

Thank Obama for finishing what Bush failed to do… protect USA from Bin Laden

We can blame Clinton, and if you watch abc news they are lining up people to blame Bush and make Obama look great. The truth is this isn’t the time to finger point. I am just glad we got him.
There were soldiers that went in to get Osama bin Laden, maybe they were supposed to kill him maybe not. What is done is done. And in the off chance that I ever have the opportunity to meet one of those fine individuals: your next beer is on me!
I know this isn’t likely to be seen by the eyes of the people who went after Osama earlier today, but thank you.

Will you idiots stop arguing about who did it??? The troops killed Osama. Both Presidents ordered the troops to perform a mission. Stop making this about the Presidents.

there was a years long standing order to shoot on site – it’s not like anyone gave some special order to do this. They had a green light from the get-go.
If I were the shooter and had him in my sights I would not have asked anyone for permission…bust a cap !

Bush = Epic Fail.

Not really the time for politics, great day for America. To digress a bit though, Obama told the 9/11 families OBL was a priority – obviously it was.
The credit however goes to our military who pulled it off without a hitch! GREAT JOB!

Thank you Obama for finishing what Bush could not!

This is a great day for America. Can we just be non-partisan for one day for the year and celebrate this accomplishment as Americans?

Thank you GW!!!!! And most of all, thank you to our amazing, fearless troops and intel!

Please drop your silly partisan “Thank you MY President!” “No, thanks to MY President.”
At a moment like this, how foolish you seem.
Through two administrations, the hunt has gone on remorselessly.
Thanks to all those, in both administrations, who kept after this monster and brought us to this day.

so much for the ‘weak on terror’ nonsense regarding obama. only one smart enough to do this.bush ignored the intelligence and condi rici incompetence!

How can any of you thank Obama? The first thing he wanted to do in his presidency was to pull the troops. He didn’t want us there and talked poorly of Bush for them being there. He had to be convinced to leave them there longer. He probably didn’t even know about the operation and had to be updated before he went on air. This was set up by Bush and the congratulations belong to Bush. Obama is a horrible president and this surely doesn’t give cause for a re-election. This is the only thing in his presidency that he can even talk about. He has failed at everything else. He is a failure. He won’t get my vote.

“Under my direction”…???? What a joke Obama is! How about you direct yourself out of our White House. Nice try. Still not getting my vote. God Bless our Armed Forces and there families.

You should have taken him out yourself, Bill, when you had the chance and they told you when and how to pull the trigger……but you didn’t…and thousands of lives later……….well, you know the rest.

President OBAMA “Mission Accomplished!”

This is and will always been an affront that was focused on greed by the BUSH administration & unfortunately, that greed continues to permeate our political landscape today.
Presidents are only figure heads and are rendered powerless in “most” situations by an inept congress…
POLITICAL & TAX REFORM NOW…congrats to President Obama for getting the job done despite the challenges outlined above!
President Bush & President Clinton could have and most importantly SHOULD have done the same thing that President Obama has achieved within his administration…

Yes it’s good news that Bin Laden has gotten his due. However, it leaves me wondering who will take his place. There will be no end to the war on terror, because there will be no end to the terror. I don’t think it matters who the president is. Do you really think we’re heading for utopia? I’m thinking commiunism is more likely. Sad but true. But for the families of those who perished on 9/11, this must be a small reprieve.

Bill, you should have taken him out yourself when you had a chance…when they told you exactly where he was, and how to pull the trigger. But, you didn’t…and thousands of lives later………………..well…you know the rest.

If Obama is responsible for ordering the kill, is he finally claiming responsibility for his OTHER decisions that didn’t work?

What are you all talking about? Bush had nothing to do with this, the CIA used credible intelligence and Obama was smart enough to wait till the time was right to execute the plan! Bush would have rushed in, screwed up again just like Tora Bora and then stood in front of a big mission accomplished sign while adding three new words to the English language such as plorificate while explaining how it was all the Dems fault that he screwed up again. Go Obama!

THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA! YOU KEPT YOUR CAMPAIGN PROMISE AND MADE THIS POSSIBLE! BUSH COULDN’T…..CONGRATS ON YOUR UPCOMING RE-ELECTION!

And just what did Obama do? It was the CIA and the military.

Hey Brian! You’re a frickin idiot! If you want to thank ANYONE thank our covert teams, our military and Bush for starting this hunt in the first place. If it was up to you liberals and Obummer, we would probably be buying Bin Laden a 7-11 and sending all his kids to American colleges while giving them free medical help.
All Obummer did was take credit for what our military does every day – who which BTW he didn’t want to pay just 2 weeks ago!

Gee it makes sense to thank Bush that had seven years and failed to do it – when this one managed it in two. Let’s get real guys. The last time Bush was asked he told us he never really thought about OBL.

There seems to be a lot of comments claiming that Barack Obama attempted to scale back the war on terror. I love how people who clearly do not pay close attention to the news are so quick to chime in on a discussion like this. For those of you who are not aware of what US foreign policy has been over the last 3 years, Barack Obama INCREASED the number of troops in Afghanistan. He decreased the number of troops in Iraq, not Afghanistan. Under the Obama administration we have EXPANDED the war on terror by sending more troops to Afghanistan, a country that General Petraeus has repeatedly said is the central battleground of the war on terror. Please read a newspaper sometime before you start accusing the President of being soft on terror.

Thank you to our military for their sacrifices and bravery and thank you, President Bush, for not wavering when the liberals and the mainstream media used the war on terror for their political agenda. I wish Obama would have given Bush the credit due in his speech, but narcissists are incapable of doing so.

It is a good day, and the credit should go to the Military that got the job done. Those of you that would credit our current President with this are very short sighted. This White House wanted to remove our troups and promised to do so long before this happened. They also promised to close Gitmo and bring the Enemey Combatants to trial in N.Y. Keep believing in this White House and yen will be your in future.

Great day for all Americans!! a day none of us will ever forget. Congrats President Bush and President Obama!!! Both men were dedicated to bringing Bin Laden to justice. Now lets get Al-Zahiri and end Al-Queda for good.

Thank you MILITARY!
As for the 2012 election, and this announcement’s effect on it.
I believe someone once said: “It’s the economy, Stupid!”
The economy, and the economy ALONE will dictate the next occupant of the White House!

Disgusting how Obama is politisizing this. “At My Direction blah blah” This guy is the worst yet the only reason his poll numbers arent around 15 percent is he is proped up by a willing media. Never hear anything now that he is prez about 5 dollar gas or 10 percent unemployement. If this were Bush, the media would be telling us how we must hate muslims for killing bin laden.

AMEN! Thank you W for staying the course, were it not for your courage and decisiveness we would not be celebrating tonight. Thanks Barack for letting the Seals do their job and finishing off Bin Laden, but remember you would not be able to beat your chest were it not for the man who had the job before you. Thank God W had the convictions he did. This fight is not over, NEVER FORGET!
God Bless America

Thank You President Bush!
Thank You President Obama for maintaining President Bush’s orders to get Osama…no matter what.

Thanks to Donald Trump, who got the birth certificate issue out of the way, so Obama could focus on killing our number one enemy. Even the Clintons, GW Bush, and John McCain/Sarah Palin couldn’t get Obama to do it. Congratulations Trump and welcome to the 2012 race. You’ll be able to win based on this great event!

Yes we miss miss you President Bush!

Thank you President Bush, for your actions that eventually led to bringing this terrorist to justice. Just because this current president gets to announce the good news, doesn’t mean he gets credit for it.
You met a friend of mine in the hospital, and you made such an impression on him that i became a fan of yours, when i was a died-in-the-wool democrat. I have come to see the error of my ways, and am now conservative.
Thank you for who you are, and who you were in office, President Bush. i wish you were still in office.

Thank you President Bush for supporting our military and the mission against terrorism when Clinton was pathetic and ineffective. And thank you men and women of the U.S. military for staying the course despite Obama’s weakness, impotence and indecision.

Let’s not forgot how bush truly felt about Usama Bin Laden…
“”I don’t know where he is, to tell you the truth, I don’t spend too much time thinking about him.” —-George W. Bush, when asked about Osama bin Laden and why he hadn’t got him.”
BUSH= RINO. Pray to god for a real conservative prez. Until then, I congrat Obama today.

By the way thanks to all the intelligence folks and members of the Armed Forces for getting it done.

I trust people will now understand President Obama’s measured responses to serious matters. It is more than notion to go off half cocked when so much is at stake. It is unfortunate though, that there are those who would give credit to his predecessors, who were friends of the bin Laden family. But then, what can one expect from delusional Republicans. Can’t see the forest for the trees.
THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA!

OBAMA GOT OSAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LETS FACE IT HE IS SMARTER AND BETTER THAN BUSH COULD EVER BE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! Miracles do happen! Obama did something right!

Yep. Agree with Jack…no way GW wrote that! Congrats to the Obama Administration for continuing to clean up after the Bush Legacy and the mess they left behind.

Back to the Economy Stupid!

This guy was “hiding” at the Hyatt. A freaking palace not a cave-dwelling terrorist we were told.
Easy…Pakistan took their protection from over him. The U.S paid them a lot of money. He was not to be taken alive. He might talk!!!!!

The hero is Gen Petreaus and the troups. The same general that was hired by Bush and was mocked by the Dems and Obama. But then was hired by Obama???

Congrats President Bush for starting the war in Afghanistan to disrupt Al Qaida and pursue Osama and thank you President Obama for continuing the relentless pursuit to bring down this vermin of humanity. I don’t care if you are a Democrat or Republican or Independent. America must be defended by all those who love freedom.
As for your re-election Obama–Sorry, the economy is killing my family, high gas prices are destroying us and you do nothing but laugh at the suffering American people–inflate your tires, get a car tune-up, you say. It’s not about the car, it’s about food and everything going up in price. $14 trillion in debt–do you know how many zeros there are in trillion? Guess not. Just keep spending

Great job US Military and President Obama!!! You got it done!!! American’s need to remember this in 2012!!!

Thank you to the military and all the other country’s military forces for making this happen. Yes, we have great leadership and Obama gave the command but the military did it.

Thank you to all our military and intelligence agencies for accomplishing this goal. Thank you President Bush for truly seeking justice from the very beginning and not caving as the left and media beat you up day after day (including the man trying to take credit tonight).

When President Bush left office, here are the economic numbers:
Unemployment: % 6.5
Gallon of Gas: $3.20
Average value of home in U.S.: $320K
After two and a half years of Obama-nomics:
Unemployment: % 8.8
Gallon of Gas: $4.40
Average value of home in U.S.: $260K
Obama called Bush’s economic numbers “RECESSION”
He’s calling his own numbers: “RECOVERY”
Go figure!
2012 will be about the economy…and ONLY THE ECONOMY.
Most people will forget about tonight’s announcement within a couple of weeks…then it’s back to:
“It’s The ECONOMY STUPID!” (Bill Clinton)

This is a clear result of Obama’s foreign policies.
This goes to Obama, not G.W. Bush.

GREAT JOB President Obama, our military and intelligence agency, you’ve earned your salaries for the rest of the YEAR!!!

HA! You are so right, Harold!
Thank you President BUSH !!!!!

Now if Clinton hadn’t pandered to his liberal base and ignored Bin Laden to begin with, we would never have had to go through this whole mess in the first place!

Let’s celebrate and remember people who have been lost in this, clearly the guys in the operation deserve a massive pat on the back. Well done everyone.

Thanks President Bush. You are missed.

“I don’t know where he is. I have no idea and I really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.” (George W. Bush, March 13th, 2002)

It doesn’t matter whether the President had a D or an R behind his name. He did his job. As well as our military and intelligence. That’s all that matters.

President Obama, along with our military, should be commended on a job well done. The reality of it is that any president would have authorized such an operation. To rush to the conclusion that Obama is a good president simply because he authorized this op is a bit foolish. To be completely honest, we still have a failing economy and an insurmountable debt and deficit, most of which was and is still being created by this president.

Hooray that Obama got Osama

Thank You KENNY WEST!
Your comment made the most sense of all of them!

I’ll follow former President Bush in congratulating President OBAMA, the Natational Security Team, and the Armed Forces. It’s amasing that folks are actually crediting Bush when he doesn’t even credit himself.
Four more years. It’s a rap.

Great day for Intelligence and Armed Forces.
Obama gets zero credit. What would Obama have done if he was captured alive? Trial in NY? Did he order kill, don’t capture? If so, how does that measure up against water boarding?

Yes we can! Obama yay!

To the guy that called everyone bad Christians, i don’t remember seeing anywhere where these people said that. And if it wasn’t for a group effort none of these presidents could had apprehended osama, and our soldiers are the real ones to thank.

Obama our focus from the Iraq distraction and it paid off. Thank you, Mr. President!

Ha!
Good One Jay!

Thank you Pre.Obama you were the one to get it done.Pre.Bush did nothing.

This makes obama look really good for the upcoming election….what a coinsidence. I wonder how Bin Ladden’s death will result in an increase in martardom? Poss. more agressive attacks on US interest here and abroad. Are we safer? Prob. not.

All who killed Bin Ladin were trained during Bush Administration – Mission Accomplished!

Quit being partisan. I’m a huge conservative and I say hat’s off to President Obama and our men and women in uniform and the intelligence services.
This is a victory for the world. Justice has been done. It’s not a time for left vs. right.
It shows a lot of class that he called FPOTUS Bush and Clinton before he made the announcement.

Thank you President Bush, for setting the agenda and the tone.
Thank you President Obama for not changing it, even after you ran on wanting to eliminate all our efforts in the capture of Osama.
You did the right thing in maintaining President Bush’s plan.
Both get credit.

Has anyone noticed also that at the White House, all the crowd, the people against the fence – no movement, no flags no signs, no shaking of hands, everyone against the fence is just watching all the other who have the big flags they just all happen to have on hand and all the signs Latino for Obama – these people are not moving – WHY – WHAT IS WRONG THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY AND SHOUTING?? GUESS I NEED TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS – I JUST HOPE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE NOTICING ALL THESE WEARD THINGS AND HEARING ALL THESE DIFFERENT REPORTS, EVEN FROM MR OBAMA.

I am always amazed when the left and the right get together on occasions like this. Everyone wants their guy recognized so let’s give credit where it’s due.
Bush set up the intelligence and military apparatus to fight in Afghanistan and search for him. They were unsuccessful during his 8 year tenure
Obama won the election and those men and women continue searching and finally found him.
Thank you President Bush and President Obama for finally finding and dealing with Osama.
As for the left and the right, you guys need a CIVIL WAR once again to settle your differences if the left isn’t too passive or afraid. No country can stand when it’s people are as divided as this country’s people, that’s why people get divorce. Common sense has long sense been replaced in this country with “I want my side to win” at any cost to the country.

Obama is the best. He got done what Clinton no get done.
Bush wins. We remember come election time. You ignant fools no get how samrt Obmama is. He get elected in 2012 cuz nobody remember econumy.

It’s actually THANK YOU PRES. BUSH.
Remember, Obama wanted to pull out of Afghanistan that will also mean the pull out of any operation in Pakistan. The coward who wouldn’t even wanna call these Terrorists as “Terrorists” claim fame.
Obama you are a one termer….you are a mistake.

Did anyone hear how Obama did playing golf today? Priorities, you know.

Thank You Obama..Thank You American..Thank You those Provides Intelligent Info Who are not American..These is the Victories for those victims of Nairobi,Dar es salaam and Sept 11.

Congratulations to our military! Job well done! Despite Obama you got it done…and of course Obama childishly tried to take the credit. Tomorrow Obama can get back to cutting funding for the military and our intelligence.

Thank you president Obama for making this happen, Bush had 8 years but failed. I still know that the bush admin
planned 9.11, and that him and that
vice president Chaney rob America
by planning this before he stole the
presidency from the voter’s. I
still say that Bush was a dummy
president America ever had.
Thanks you Pres. Obama for keep your
campaine promise.

God Bless the U.S.A. and all those
that serve.

Thank you US Armed Forces. Our US Military deserves the gratitude. They’re the ones who’s lives, nerves, families, and futures were sacrificed for our security and for justice. The military would have stayed on task hunting this guy down regardless who succeeded Bush. If we hadn’t engaged Afghanistan we’d have never gotten the guy. Thank you US Armed Forces.

“I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.”
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02
Just a quick memory refresher for those crediting former president Bush with this accomplishment.

President Obama!
Cleaning up after Bush Republicans one mess at a time!

Actually, President Bush is more like the Packers GM…
He put together the team through years of training and drafts.
They were the ones who accomplished the mission.
Thanks President Bush!
This belongs to you…and you ALONE!

Why do people make everything about Politics. This was a victory for all of us. For America. Lets continue this momentum and get back on track. Latelly all i hear is ahout the fall of America. We are bad a$$! We need to unity and show the world why we are the best!

For anyone that remembers the events that started this terrible cycle of violence, this is a great day.
To all those that dedicated their lives and sacrificed so much to serve their country, thank you so much. God bless you. Thank you President Bush. Thank you President Obama. Thank you U.S. Navy Seals and intelligence operations. The job is not done but we know the end is closer than it was.

This is President Bush’s feather in his cap. Not Clinton as TGR11239 as already explained very well.
President Bush made the statement,
“I want justice. And there’s an old poster out West, I recall, that says, “Wanted: Dead or Alive”.
Referring to Osama Bin Ladin after the 9/11 attack.”
“Our war on terror begins with al Qaeda, but it does not end there. It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated.”
Address to a Joint Session of Congress and the American People (September 20, 2001) [16]
Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. [17]
Address to a Joint Session of Congress and the American People, September 20, 2001.
God Bless you, George W. Bush

President Bush was asked if he thinks he deserves credit for this…and his response was:
“I wouldn’t take credit for this, even if I was still in office. The credit goes to all the men and women in uniform, and the ones who gave their life for the cause.”
As Keith Olbermann would say, “Case – I think – closed!”
Thank you President Bush.
You are truly a man of class and dignity.
From a Former Soldier in Iraq (female too)

Class: Tim Pawlenty “I want to congratulate America’s armed forces and President Obama for a job well done.
Class: Mitt Romney said. “Congratulations to our intelligence community, our military and the president.

No Mention of President Obama

Candidate Obama

Obama said during the announcement of Osama’s death…. “a struggle for equality for all our citizens”.
What a |>ouchbag!
Bin Laden is dead and this tool is talking about social justice???
January 2013 – The White House get an Enema.

Thank the military and the military families that have sacrificed so much for our security and freedom. It’s their nerves, blood, sweat, brawn, tears, hardships, and deaths that deserve the honor. Obama is so desperate for something to make himself look good that he’s tripping over himself to the microphones to shine the limelight on himself. What a creep. All our gratitude and recognition is deserved by the military and military families alone.

Wait…what about Obama!
Our Nobel Peace Prize winner pulled the trigger that got Bin Ladin!

Why would ya’ll be thanking Bush!!!??? OR Missing Bush that man didnt do a thing!…That Mr President Barack Obama !!! YOU DID IT !! && THANK YOU TO THE MEN A WOMEN FIGHTING THIS WAR EVERYDAY!! X3

This is not a time for partisan politics. Tonight, as on the night of September 11, 2001, we are all Americans\, united.
Thank you to the men and woman of the U.S. armed forces and in the intelligence agencies who have kept us safe over these last 10 years.
Thank you also to George Bush, who set tonight’s events in motion, and to Barack Obama for finishing what Bush started.
Peace to men and women of good faith and kind hearts everywhere.

Well said Rosiesd!

Congrate to d america people, we in africa got to celebrete dis. Death to all lovers of Osama.lol

Thank you Obama for doing one thing right during this time in office, it was to continue President Bush’s fight in bringing down Osama. He was and still is one of the best Presidents ever!! True American and faithful to his country!!! We miss you President Bush!!

Now, Kitty, don’t be daft. The people who say this is Bush’s doing do not have their heads stuck in the “sand.” I think we all know where their heads truly are.
As always, the president gets too much blame when military operations fail and too much credit when they succeed. I’d guess that both Bush and Obama had the pressure on to find Bin Laden. But to use this occasion to credit Bush to the exclusion of Obama is Orwellian at best and childish at worst.

Thank you Pres. Bush. We know the miliary set-up to get Bin Laden has been in the works long before you left office. Congratulations to the military for being vigilant, never giving up, and getting Bin Laden.

Go Obama, people who still doubt about your capabilities must go to hell, you are the best president of US people must start to respect you. All you hipocrit stop being so as Bush left the mess behind and President Obama is cleaning now one after another, Go Obama Go 2012

All the credit and thanks should go to those who carried out the mission. Those who willingly left their families to fight for our country. They are the ones who put their lives on the line each and every day. My gratitude goes to them and only them. It’s one thing to say “on my orders” when you are sitting in a comfortable office. It’s another to actually carry out those orders. Thank you US Military and thank God for your service!

I think it’s a good thing that President Obama called Bush to inform him of what happened.
And I think it’s an even greater thing that Bush congratulated him (Obama).
Politics aside, this is one thing we can all come together on. Congrats to our military forces, bin Laden is DEAD!!!

GREAT work by US Intel and special Ops. ALL our fantastic military! Obama should be careful not to take credit from those who made this possible. SARAH PALIN could have played his role.

How can you thank Bush? be real, Cheeney, Wolfie and Rumie were in charge, thank them for blowing the whole thing to begin with, that’s what happens when you put life long bureaucrats in charge put. It takes a real leader to get the job done, MISSION ACOMPLISHED!!!

Thanks President Bush. How come Obama’s not talking about how much he’s against going into Iraq and Afghanistan?

Why did Obama call Clinton?

Thank President BUSH! God Bless you and God Bless America!!!

the focus was brought back to the REAL problem and that’s why this happened. Thanks to OUR BRAVE TROOPS!!!

To all the Obama zombies who are all of the sudden getting thrills of patriotism up your fraud legs and putting your anti-military protest signs in the closet for the next week, give me a break. The CIA who you hate did this. Our armed forces who you hate did this. And GW Bush who was the 1st US president to see the Islamist threat and put a mission in place did this

Thanks to all who have served over the last 10 years… you have all played a part. Thank you President Bush for all you have done to keep us safe at home. Obama – I pray this is the first of many successes for you as I don’t think this country can take another two years of the status quo.

Anyone that thinks this wouldn’t have happened without Obama is insane. His defense of Islam last night was totally inappropriate.

What a bunch of retards here thanking Bush, that guy didnt do jackshit. Obamais the current POTUS, he is the one that had all the pieces in place to make this happen.

Bush got the ball rolling. Thanks, GW! I miss you.

Thank you, President Bush. Without your foundation in place, Bin Laden would be smoking hash on his balcony now.

I’m sure The Donald won’t believe it until Osama releases the long form death certificate!

You can’t give Bush credit for this without giving he the blame for the econmic mess he left behind but in your all narrow minds I guess everything is possible.

Obama got him because he didn’t have to ask Rush and Palin what to do first. Now the GOP leaders are upset because he did infrom them so that they could try to take credit for it. Great job Obama, CIA and our great military.

and…may I also thank President Obama

Thank you to our military members and team members. The best in the world. Praise be towards peace, while doing what we can to help those in need.

Bush said about bin Laden: “I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.” – G.W. Bush, 3/13/02 “I am truly not that concerned about him.” – G.W. Bush, repsonding to a question about bin Laden’s whereabouts, 3/13/02 (The New American, 4/8/02)
thanks US Military/Obama

Thank You Mr. President Bush!!!

Ah yes President Clinton who had 8 years to respond to CIA threats, and did nothing! Releases a statement. Then you have the President who caught hell for doing something about it, and now we have this charlatan President Obama acting as if he made this all happen. He was playin friggin golf this morning. I’ll tell you what, you’ve got to be a real moron to not know what party is the party of freedom.

Outstanding job President Obama!!!!

Thanks to President Obama and our wonderful brave men and women who serve our country so proudly. Yes, I thanked our President. why? Because he helped bring Bin Laden down. Bush you started the mission but you also forgot about it. He concentrated more on Hussein than on Bin Laden thats why he was never succesful at catching him. So CHEERS TO OUR PRESIDENT AND MILITARY> JOB WELL DONE. For those who dont agree with me. Who cares.

OUTSTANDING JOB on the part of our Military and especially those warriors in the Special Forces! And THANKS to President Bush for planting the seeds of this “tree of freedom” from one more terrorist. And in an ‘unusual’ Presidential act, kudos to Obama for notifying the man ‘he blames for everything’ of the success of this long operation. Now everyone be extra watchful!

Anyone thanking the brave men who actually did the job?

Most wars start because of perceived weakness. Osama attacked us on 9-11 because he thought that America was weak after watching Bill Clinton’s (non) reaction to his prior attacks. He thought Bush wouldn’t attack and come after him. He was wrong.

You obama supporters are so predictable. lol truly a sad bunch. honestly a real gaggle of classless stooges.

From Lew Rockwell:
Every time the US waves the bloody shirt of Osama, it has a purpose. Obama has been drastically weakened in recent months, and the US has been hurt by murdering Gadaffi’s family members. The mass-killing in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, etc. is not going well. The economy is a wreck. Dollar debasement is speeding up. Gasoline prices are high. So…tah-dah…the body of Osama bin Laden for our edification and distration. It may even be true. Certainly the CIA will assure us that its DNA test proves it.
UPDATE from Darien Sumner:
In re: Osama bin Laden’s death, here are the first three things that went through my mind:
1) Congratulations to the United States government on spending only ten years and a few trillion dollars to kill one old man.
2) This means we get all of our liberties back now, right? And our money? And the thousands of lives lost?
3) Ah, now the Libyan war is beginning to make a lot more sense from a political standpoint. The government needed a new bogeyman to chase.

Thank you President Bush. We sure do miss you. We also thank our brave men and women in uniform for their bravery. We are safer now, but liberal democrats and Obama will take all the credit. Maybe Obama will be on Oprah in a week or two to tell how he got
bin Laden, but everybody knows Bush put everything into place.

Big deal. Our country is still collapsing from within, we lose more and more freedom everyday, and there are still people out there that think obama is the best thing since sliced bread, which is becoming VERY expensive, just like gas, and food and clothes. The same people congratulating obama are the same people who hate the military, hate the wars(as long as a dem didn’t start it, those ones are ok)what a bunch of fools, they are the enemy

Bush DID NOT Make this happen. BUSH diverted us to occupatin duty and “Nation” building. Had he stayed focused on why we went to war in first place we would have pursued Bin Laden into Pakistan long ago and killed him. Instead we squandered the lives of our brave men and women in occupation duty. So, NO BUSH had absolutely NOTHING to do with this. I hope current President will get our troops out of Iraq, Afghanistan, Liby and continue after Al Queda clandestinely with special forces which is more cost and operationally effective. I disagree with President Obama on many of his policies, but I applaud his courage in letting this operation go forward. It could have turned out bad and remember Clinton did not give the go ahead for two operations that could have killed Bin Laden long ago. This victory goes to our brave men and women in the military, and NOONE else!!! God bless them there are not any finer in the world.

Presidents of great civilization…! how shameful is this you have destroyed Afghanistan and Iraq and now greeting each other for killing Osama? and call it justices….
i am waiting for another justices, when the wolves of Iraq and Afghanistan will meet the same destination.

I have become very synical when it comes to this topic.
They got him years ago – I am certain of it. Obama needs some points in the polls so he is taking them. Look for some resolve in the war on terror soon. He put Panetta in charge of the DoD. Panetta is the cost cutter for the democrats. Obama needed a big event to bring cause to the reduction of forces and a reduced DoD budget – both of which a growing number of people want to happen. As this show plays out, look for magical peace starting to form in the Middle East. Look for Obama’s poll numbers to go up. Look for the DoD budget to get slashed. Obama timed this absolutely perfectly – not too close to the next election, but close enough to start the needed work on reviving his image.
This scenario was talked about years ago with Bush – when the news was reporting the OBL was a goner. Conservatives concluded that Bush had more to clean up with terrorism and that OBL being dead would weaken the resolve to finish the work that had to be done. They further felt that if Bush did take advantage of it, we would never support Bush again (taking advantage of a crisis). Well, let us see what this week holds out. It can be played in a couple ways, OBL becomes the martyr Islam needed to raise a ruckus or this will die out soon. If they just killed OBL last night, then look for retaliation hits. If peace looks eminent, then I say OBL was toast a long time ago, and most likely because of illness – not a hit. Either way, the left will fall behind Obama with gusto – making him a hero.
Just like any cover-up OBL is already “buried” at sea in less than 24 hours! Right! There are also no pictures. Also, look to Wikileaks for some entertainment in the next few weeks. Obama does not play his cards well and if there are federal workers who hates Obama and who have access to key documents, I suspect Wikileaks either has or could get some fairly damming stuff soon. If Obama was going to play this card, he had to right now – his timing is perfect. But his hand may be weak. The federal workforce has far too much access and those in the DoD who have not been letting this crisis go to waste, may not be ready to let this cash cow go so soon. The defense contractors get almost $400 billion from us taxpayers (well over half of the operational budget of the DoD!) There are far too many people who have a big stake in this deception.
This could go either very well for Obama or it could put the final nails on his political coffin. At this point, the stakes have never been higher for this man. This was an all or nothing play.
My hopes are on the simple story and a big thanks to the troops who risked their live with this mission – but like I said, I have gotten to be synical with this corrupt government – I fear nothing is simple. Keep your eyes out.

Please stop making this a political thing. Let’s just thank our ALL-VOlUNTEER millitary. I’m so proud of them. We’re all Americans no matter our political beliefs. Let’s try to put politics aside and celebrate our millitary’s victory together.

Pakistan assists? Nonsense …. those duplicitous creeps knew all along where the scumbucket was….
Now … get all US troops out of Afganistan ……ASAP.

George Bush and Barrack Obama both deserve praise in this achievement. Bush probably more because it was his fortitude that laid the foundation for this to happen. Obama deserves credit for having the stones to give the green light.
I wish this could have happened years ago. That monster has been able to eat and sleep and breath for the past 10 years. Now, he is sleeping with the fish!
I don’t really feel joy in the knowledge that a man lost his life but I feel joy in knowing that justice was served.
Congratulations to our wonderful men and women serving in uniform across the globe. They are the real heroes. God bless them and keep them safe!

So where is the body? Seriously?

Great credit should go to our troops especially, President Bush, President Obama and all the people involved in finding Osama Bin Laden. This was a four year mission that came to great fruition, but we have a lot further to go.
The Pakistani government and military it looks like were likely protecting Bin Laden with his compound having 12 – 18 foot walls, barbed wire and extremely tight security and being built in 2005. If you protect the terrorists you are a terrorist and should be destroyed.

Thank you President OBAMA! We knew a COMPETENT President would get the job done! OBAMA 2012! Thank you to the men and women who serve; you make our country proud!

The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.
The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.
The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.

We will not tire, we will not faulter, Justice will be done. G W Bush September 2001
He was right then, he is right now. Thank you President Bush. This is a good day for our country. Let us not forget the brave men and women who serve and have served, but most of all the honored ones who have given the ultimate price.

While good news to President Bush and President Obama, the real winners are the American people.

Congrats to our spooks & troops. The President merely gave a nod of the head. Our intelligence community and troops did the work. Way to GO!

If Bush would not have already put us there Obama would have never went there!

I can now retire my deck of cards.

thank you george bush you were a true leader. we miss you

Much to obammy’s surprise, he had signed off on the attack – he thought he was signing another spending bill. It wasn’t until the teleprompter told him, did he realize what had happened.

Thank you president Bush for initiating the pursuit and eventual capture of OBL. You put the assets in place necessary to get the job done.

I’m glad the SOB is dead and hopeful some closure is given to the families of the 9/11 victims. For them, I am happy this day came.
That being said, this country still has serious problems! For those of you thinking this gets Obama reelected, are kidding yourselves. A dead OBL does nothing for our wallets. And it certainly doesn’t help at the pumps. And it’s not going to be any better come November 2012. Hold on tight for a double dip recession, folks.
(AND…. keep reading people. The intelligence that caught OBL began 4 years ago at Gitmo. They interrogeated someone that led our intel to follow up on a courier close to OBL. Tactics used were approved by the Bush Admin..not the Obama Admin!)

Thank you President Barak Huessin Obama!!!!

THANK YOU President OBAMA for focusing on Afghanistan and PAKISTAN where he ALWAYS said;we should sent troops if we had solid intelligence.
GWB spent TRILLIONS of $ and we lost Thousands of soldiers in Iraq
Obama THANK YOU

I am utterly cracking up with Bush people taking credit here. Sounds like Trump being proud for the birth certificate thing. let it rest folks….

“Under my direction”…???? What a joke Obama is! Hey berry, just WHAT exactly was YOUR direction?! You signed your okey-dokey on a piece of paper, then went out to party.

Thank God for G.W. he did our country proud and we miss him dearly.

Thank You Presidents Bush and Obama!

Thank you, President Bush. Had it not been for you, Obama couldn’t steal the credit from you today. Miss you, W!

For ANYONE, to think that bo had ANYTHING remotely responsible for conducting this raid is RIDICULOUS !!
It is a non-sequitur, if you simply assess bo, the seditionist, and anti-American usurper.
Now, close your eyes, and tell me you can see bo hovering over a ‘war-room’ strategizing all the intricate variables that went in to pulling the raid off successfully.
First of all, any of the TRULY RESPONSIBLE parties would not feel COMPELLED to bring the ‘I’ or ‘MY’ into the statement’s first breath. A normal statement would have read… at worst … ‘WE…” … and more likely, “Our eternally vigilant special forces … ” or “Our resilient special forces..”. Hell, it took bo 4 months to decide on how many troops to turn loose on g.w. bush’s surge in Afgahani; and that was a tremendously less strategic-nuanced decision/mission.
The only war-room bo acquaints himself with is the campaign war-room !!
Credit for this successful military operation, needs to go to the TRULY repsonsible Lieutenant, Colonel or Major and all the special forces (participants and peripheral supporting members) who planned the operation and orchestrated, and implemented the mission, while KEEPING THE ENTIRE PLAN UNKOWN from the usurper-in-chief ! Rest assured, if bo truly had any forward knowledge of this mission, it would have been leaked, and bin laden would still be on the loose.
And for those Americans who feel a great weight has been lifted from America and our enemies have been greatly compromised, LOOK WITHIN !! An extension-cell of bin laden’s inner circle sits smugly in the oval office, figuring out how to return the holy remains of one of our nation’s most vile enemies to the muslim brotherhood for proper blessings, and worship !

“War is never the answer”
“Civilians were targeted”
Yet the hypocrite left are proud of “their man.”
All obammy did was sign his name UNDER George W. Bush’s on the STANDING order.
THANK GOD FOR GWB!

Obama claims he inherited everything else from President Bush’s administration, fine, he inherited this also. Thanks to the personnel on the ground who got the job done!

Thank you president BUSH …you are a true patriot we couldn’t have done this without you. and to you Clinton…if you would have reacted stronger after the first attack on the towers and didn’t defund the military 3000 people wouldn’t have died on Sept. 11 2001…you sir are a lowest form of life

Bush/Ryan 2012!!!

THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA….AND TO ALL MEN AND WOMEN OF THE ARMED FORCES. OBAMA 2012!!!

America, can we stop the partisanship long enough to recognize the importance this occurrence means to our country. Placing historical blame or post accomplishment credit should not be the issue today. We can all breathe a collective sigh of relief this day. God Bless America!

Obama did his part! He quit playing golf right in the middle of his game, ran to the White House, and announced to the world that he had killed Ben Laudin.

Thank you President Bush. It was your resolve and vision that led to this moment. Peace,liberty and justice for all. God Bless America.

obama did nothing. i’m surprised he had the courage to order the mission. go back to the golf course barry. 15% inflation, 20% ACTUAL unemployment/underemployment. 2012 my arse.

After 2 years? Everything that is wrong is Bush’s fault and now all of a sudden 2 years is a long time?!? We miss you President Bush.

Neither president gets credit for this.. the military gets all the credit, and if Obama or any other politician that tries to make political headwinds out of this should be voted against, because this victory belongs to our military not a politician.

Obama got Osama but it’s still Bush’s fault. Way to go, Bush!

Thanks to President Bush!!! – Bush policies got the job done. Obama deserves credit, but as Senator, Obama criticized many of the same policies that he just used to get OBL.

George W. Bush is a true patriot and a great American. Thank you Mr. President…job well done.

THANK YOU PRESIDENT BUSH
You built our military back up after all the Clinton cuts.
GWB’s plan worked. No denial of that!
Long Live President George W. Bush!!

It’s funny (but entirely expected) how Obama tries to take credit for Bin Laden’s demise (“at my direction” etc.), when if he had his way, we wouldn’t even be over there and this wouldn’t have happened. He opposed the war in the first place, opposed the surge in Iraq, and since his election has broken his promises to get out. So, should we give him credit for something that coincidently occurred on his watch? Nope.

It was actually reported that it was the enhanced interrogation tactics of Kahlid Sheik Mohammed that provided the name if the courier that eventually led them to Bin laden. This started 4-5 years ago and Bush was criticized for such interrogations by Obama and many of those thanking him today. We should thank Bush.

I can’t believe Obama is taking full credit for this….what a loser. If it wasn’t for George Bush this wouldn’t have happened …Bush had a vision.

Bush and the military = Total Hero

Thank you Obama for focusing on bringing this man to justice, even though having to deal with the unnecessary IRAQ mess W got us into. NOW… we can hang a ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner.

One of the last thing Bush said before he left office was “get osama before I leave office” Mr president, you shouldn’t have left office until we got him!!!!!

Screw Bush/Obama/Clinton… They effectively had nothing to do with this. That’s like me trying to claim credit for creating the great meal I ordered in a restaurant.

two evil dictators gone saddam and bin laden.. nice job Mr. Bush!!!!

It’s amazing that people are thanking Obama, he won’t be here anyway in 2012 thank God!

My credit goes to George W. Bush and our military. Obama only wanted to shut Gitmo down and wanted to state a date when all troops would come home. I HAVE NOTHING to say to Obama. He is a coward and a coniving money grabber. Again, my thanks goes to FORMER PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH. And Mr. Clinton had many chances to get this guy. Had he said pull the trigger the very first time, 9/11 may not have happened. So, God bless you Mr. Bush.

Obama has done all but claim he pulled the trigger…someone this arrogant and self-aggrandizing would never withhold his academic records if they were anything but total failures.

Obama has done all but claim he pulled the trigger…someone this arrogant and self-aggrandizing would never withhold his academic records if they were anything but total failures. :-D

Why would they bury the body at sea? they brought Sadam insane to trial, but they still showed the man. Where are the photos that should have shown this? It would seem t me that by proving it is osama, they would want to reveal the body. Now all they need to do is say “hey, here is the DNA proof (which is on file already). To convienint. How may other countrie did they offer the body to?? This is BS

SHASSY,,,,,Trust me he is forgiven, dead but forgiven. Thanks for reminding me of the power of forgiveness. Now he will face his judgment, and I will pray for him.

Are you kidding?? YOU BUSH SUPPORTER ARE OUT OF YOUR MINDS!! Bush didn’t make anything happen while in office! It amazes me how many people here are thanking Bush! Regardless of your political affiliation, give credit where credit is due!! Bush didn’t get anything accomplished while in office! Obama was the one that directed the armed forces to launch the attack against Bin Laden, NOT BUSH! OBAMA was the master-mind that directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al-Qaida, NOT BUSH!!!! One question.. If Bush had any part in it, why didn’t he give himself credit in the statement he made?? Only one president had the intelligence to get this done.. THANKS OBAMA!!YOU ROCK!! Statment from Bush—..“Earlier this evening, President Obama called to inform me that American forces killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of the al Qaeda network that attacked America on September 11, 2001. I congratulated him and the men and women of our military and intelligence communities who devoted their lives to this mission. They have our everlasting gratitude. This momentous achievement marks a victory for America, for people who seek peace around the world, and for all those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001. The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done.”— Go figure!! BUSH SUCK! If he was still in office, this would have never happened! Glad he got booted out and OBAMA took over!!

Way to go Navy Seals!!!
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am grateful to the navy seals for escorting Osama Bin Laden to meet the 71 Virginians who have been waiting to kick his a$$!!!! I personally plan a trip from Pennsylvania to the ocean so I can spit on his watery grave!!!
Good Riddence Osama!!!

You people are killing me trying to place credit for this victory on one president or another. The NAVY Seals, and the intelligence people behind their actions should be getting the credit! Any US President, with unmistakable information, would have authorized this mission! This is a victory for America! Let’s leave it at that!

Unfortunatly there are still delusional individuals out there,like the people that are thanking Bush;however,Bush was not the one who called in the orders nor was he the one to focus on stopping Binladin. GREAT JOB PRESIDENT OBAMA… YOU ARE AWSOME!!!!!!

Thank you President Obama for allowing your troops to complete the mission. We all look forward to substantial verification.

Bush loved this country. And, did anything in his power to protect us from more harm from terrorist. There is no doubt about this. On the other hand, Obama is playing politics with the work that Bush started and was routinely attacked for, by Obama and other democrats, who not once placed their country and it’s citizens above scoring a cheap political point. President Bush, thank you for your brave service to our great country! You always placed country, and our safety, before politics! That was your driving mission!

The crucial intelligence came from Gitmo. Good thing Obama didn’t get his way and shut Gitmo down.

Even at this moment, we as Americans can’t put the snarky comments about which president did what aside and just be AMERICANS that are happy that it has been done!.
For once can we not be Democrats or Republicans or whatever and just stand together and say we are AMERICANS first!

“I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.”
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02
“I am truly not that concerned about him.”
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02
‘NUFF SAID!

Congrats President Bush!!!!

Pres Bush made this possible.

Waterboarding & GTMO worked!

Thank You Bush for putting into place the policies that made this possible. Obama is two faced when it comes to the military taking credit when things go right, then blaming Bush and voting aginst you when things go wrong. Thank You W !!

Sad how we blame Bush for everything even after he’s out of office yet gets no credit for anything.

The crucial intel to Osama’s location came during the water-boarding of Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who wanted to plead guilty. But, Obama wanted to put him on trial in a NYC criminal court. Obama said the immoral practice of water-boarding produced no valuable intel. In fact, under constitutional law Obama would have to throw out any statement or intel Khalid Sheik Mohammed gave under the exclusionary rule as “fruit of the poison tree.” Now, Obama wants to take credit for Bush’s moral courage to stand his ground and protect his fellow countrymen from attacks from Obama. In fact, Obama had made thinly veiled trheats of prosecuting Bush for water-boarding Khalid Sheik Mohammed the one time it was used.

Bush was the one who claimed bin laden was no longer important. Bush was the one who let the trail go cold. Our military finally used the right small covert tactics that did not involve the Pakistan ISI to make a score.
There is limited trust in Pakistan and even less now that this Pakistan enbarrassment has come to light.
Also, Hammas has removed any support they might have gotten from people “on the fence”. Their support for bin laden the murderer of Muslums makes them look like fools.

From Bloomberg:
“U.S. intelligence picked up the trail that led to the house after tracking an al-Qaeda courier, officials said. Intelligence officers learned of the courier soon after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, identified him four years ago, and found he was living in the compound last August.”
And just who put the intelligence apperatus in place? Obama?
Who’s policies are inplace now regarding the war on terror? Obama’s?
Who’s key administration members (defense secretary, generals) are figting the war today? Obama’s?
Who setup a specialized military prison for holding and interrogating these thugs? Obama?
To his credit Obama DID give the order for the stricke but that is pretty much a no-brainer after all the heavy lifting was done by who? Obama?

“Thank you to President Obama, President Bush and President Clinton on your efforts to defend our country. Thank you to our intelligent agencies. And THANK YOU to our troops for their devotion to protecting the American people!” …
Posted by: Brian | May 2, 2011 12:10:26 AM … I totally agree with Brian!~Robert

Its awesome that we finally got a leader. Someone who wanted justice and not protect their biggest oil buddies children…this is truly a great day for america…now maybe the country can see that this president has a brain…and integrity and will lead this country to great things…now lets dig into how the past admin helped the binladens and this terroist cell hide…God Bless America

Not really a fan of Obama, but I must admire the fact that he had the fortitude to do what Bill Clinton did not. The easy way out, of course, would have been to hit the compound with air strikes and hope you got bin Laden. He chose a much more decisive course. I also think it was gracious of Obama to call his presidential pedecessors to advise them personally. I’m sure that it’s a brotherhood that only those gentlemen understand.

Was Obama on the basketball court or the golf course during the raid? Thank you, President Bush for making this happen. We should be hearing Obama’s apology to AlQaeda soon.

Obama told the Navy seals to shoot over Osama’s head and read him his rights. But, the Navy seals either acted stupidly or their aim was off! Now Obama was a moral dilemma. Who should he apologize for yet anotehr act of American aggression!

President Bush had alot to do with it Brain.He is the one who sent us in to get the guy.As you know terrorists are sneaky.It is not a wonder that it took this long to get him.Obama had nothing to do with it.He just happened to be president at the time.It was the former presidents who initiated this attack.

Are you kidding me people?!?! Bush didn’t do a God damn thing except go to Iraq false claiming and bringing this economy to a devastating level. GB had 8 YEARS to find him, while Obama found him in 2 along with helping the economy. The nerve of you people here congratulating Bush…when will you people finally accept Obama?

Thank you to the special Bin Laden task force that has been in existence for over a decade with a sole focus of getting this guy and a big thanks to Seal Six. Also, congrats to a President who finally decided to not dither on international policy and get it right by letting our people do the job they were trained to do. Its the first thing you’ve done right on the international politics scene Obama but boy was it a biggie. Also, thanks for doing it now Obama. George Bush Sr. rolled into Kuwait and had 92% approval. Eighteen months later he was out of a job. Lets just hope the same holds true with you.

I would still like to see a body?

THANK YOU PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH!!!
YOU TOLD US THIS WAR ON TERROR WOULD LAST BEYOND YOUR PRESIDENCY.
SOME LISTENED SOME DID NOT…BUT YOU KNEW ALL ALONG.
GOD BLESS YOU FOR BEING THE MAN YOU ARE!

Can’t we give credit to both administrations? It’s clear from reports that we have been following his courier for years, so it seems that President Bush had a hand in his capture as well as President Obama. To say President Obama did nothing is stupid. He authorized the strike, for God’s sake! That alone deserves our thanks!

I think it is interesting that no matter what President Obama does,he never gets credit; come on people, wipe the racism out of your eyes.Regardless of what you say or think, Presidents Clinton nor Bush got the job done. The job is done, now shut up.

When we have smart president mission is accomplished. Thanks you Obama and all USA man and women devoted for this mission

All libs that are bashing Bush, please note: Obama has not changed any of the Bush Doctrine since assuming office. It was the policies that Bush put forth that lead to this day. Any thinking person knows this. And to show you that I am not being political, the same can be true of Reagan and the collpase of the Soviet Union. Reagan always gets credit for bringing the Soviet Union down, but in truth it was Nixon, Johnson, Ford and Carter before him whose dilligence, focus and containment lead to its collapse under Reagan. These evens are multi-year processes. Thanks to all our Presidents!! And also remember that NO presdient is above America. This is America’s day.

It seems like the Obama supporters love Obama more than they love America and the military.

Thank you to our US Navy Seals!!!
Thank you To our Men and Women in Uniform who have given their lives to make this Happen
Thank you to the CIA and the FBI
Thank you to President Bush for Beginning the Manhunt.
Thank you Obama for finishing the Manhunt
Now lets blow the rest of these terrorists away and shutup about who’s who? Lets finish the job we started

W would’ve captured him alive and tortured him for more intelligence! I’ll take him dead though.

Thank you Bush! Thank you Military!

Thanks to the United States Navy Seals. They were the pointy end of the sword.

Thank you President Washington for freeing the 13 American colonies from British opression.

Thanks to the US military for killing bin laden despite the interference and criticism of the obama administration over the last few years.

Another victory for Bush..have you forgotten Obama wanted to close gitmo down for good?? Thank you GW and we miss you!

Maybe, just like for a brief time after 9/11, we can just all be Americans who stand united…quit taking sides on which president to thank based on your political beliefs. No matter which party the former, current, or future presidents affiliate with, the war on terror will need to continue for this country to be safe. Thank the presidents for being great commanders in chief and being vigilant against terror, but leave the politics out of it. We need to stand united as Americans in this war on terror and on all other issues. Let’s be Americans, not Democrats, Republicans, Indepentdents, etc. — We are the United States of America!!

Have Obama supporters no class? Can you leave the politics out of anything? Anything? Former President GW Bush has been nothing but classy since leaving office. He has allowed you, the current President and those on the left in the media to attack him over and over. In light of this he continues to show class and respect to this country and the office of the Presidency. Let the man live his life, and please give him some credit for putting in place a system which allowed our military and intelligence to do their job.

Bush migth be a little bit sad!!! Obama Killed his Friend and bussines parthner, SORRY BUSH!!!, But don`t worry, you will find another one.

Karen Travers and Z. Byron Wolf:
Just a point on clarification, you are mistaken to have implied that Former President Clinton and Osama Bin Laden overlapped by way of the 1993 WTC bombing (it had no relation to Osama Bin Laden).
Former President Clinton’s administration experience with Osama Bin Laden occurred in August 7th, 1998 with the East African bombings of U.S. Embassies.

“I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.”
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02
George Bush, you were a big loser as a prez.

How in the world can anyone who can read be thanking President Bush for this? He had his shot and squandered it. But there appears to be a bit of a history of that, doesn’t there? Congrats to the intel/service people that put this together and carried it out and thanks to President Obama for having the guts to give the go-ahead. Bush? OMG!

I keep reading that Bush did this or Obama did this. People they BOTH played a roll. How about congratulations to ALL the Americans who made this happen? Presidents, Military, etc

All of the people posting partisan messages are off the mark as usual, today is a day to celebrate this accomplishment of justice and remember those who of their lives or have given their lives in these wars and the victims of terrorism. Great Job USA

Bush did nothing to get Bin Laden. He went after the human that tried to kill his daddy;not the human that killed thousands. THANKS PRESIDENT OBAMA FOR GIVING THE ORDER

Obama did within two and a half years what BUSH could not do in eight. I am so proud and glad that I elected this president. I just have to assume that those who complain or praise BUSH did not elect Obama. To bad but we can’t all be on the winning side.
Or perhaps you can if you will elect him in his re-election. Then you too can be on winning side. You just have to put the past behind you. Easy, peasy. I am glad to see that BUSH at least knows how to give credit where credit is due. bush thought he could strong arm them but Obama used his intelligence system, by the way the one he created.

Obama did nothing. Thank you, SEALs and CIA.

You party-liners really don’t see how you’re part of the problem, do you? Regardless of when or why we started operations in Iraq, Pres. Bush put boots on the ground in Afghanistan and had the fortitude to start this process. Pres. Obama saw this through and didn’t pull troops out at the whim of his party or far-left constituents. They both earned this accomplishment and deserve our respect for leading our country.

I am so angered by the partisan comments. Why isn’t possible to just take solace that we, as Americans, got it done. Way to go Navy Seals.
George Washington, in his farewell address warned us about the two party system: “It serves to distract the Public Councils, and enfeeble the Public Administration….agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one….against another….it opens the door to foreign influence and corruption…thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.”
It’s evident that it is tearing us apart.

I’ll believe bin Laden is dead when I see the $25M bounty paid to someone. Until then, I remain skeptical about anything the 5th column media hypes.

Bush DOES NOT deserved credit while he was golfing my family and friends died, and while he still did not do anything he went after the wrong man who did not bomb america!!!! Wake up!!! I dont care if it was a martian who sign the treaty to excute the plan he still deserved the credit…THANK YOU OBAMA AND THE US MILITARY……..

Thank you, President Bush! What a wonderful plan you allowed our military to make and carry out. We miss your team-type approach especially when it was time to take credit. It was never “I” or “me” or “my” but “we”, “our military”, etc. You made us so very proud! We never had to wonder if you loved the United States of America!

America Forever

How did Bush make THIS happen yet the financial crisis is all Obama’s fault? HMMMM.
Either way a good day for USA!

Thank you Sarah Palin for your part in bring down Osama…
Oh sorry.

You want to give Bush credit for something Obama did, but not give the same credit to Bush for the crappy economy he handed to Obama? You people crack me up. Was Bush instrumental in this – of course and I respect him for that. Wish he would have been a little more relentless towards Bin laden and not so much towards Saddam.

Thanks George W Bush, for standing strong against Terrorism, even as half of the United States berated you constantly, idiot Comedian’s who pretend to be News Anchors belittled you, as you constantly stayed strong and resolved to finish the fight. It was your leadership as President and the continual efforts and bravery of our military that made this happen. I just wish you could have still been in office to take the proper credit you deserve, but alas, Obama is trying to take all the credit…which is no surprise. So, I had to write this for the sake of truth and justice. God bless you!

Great Job with the policies you put in place President Bush!!

Hummm…President Bush said on actionable intel for six-eight months and walla!! 9/11 happened and you morons are giving him the credit? Please! Sure…Mission Accomplished…that’s is something President Obama with the outstandnig job by the nation’s elite SEALs were able to accomplish in less than 2 years? That’s the difference between a level-headed President and a Cowboy…

Thank you Bush, the VP and Haliburton for stealing millions of American Taxpayers money while our brave Men and Women busted their ass hunting Osama for 8 years…hummm something was done right by this administration…oh I got it…someone is actually working for the taxpayers in the White House…

Let’s not forget that it was President Bush’s policies with respect to interrogation of captured terrorists to get the appropriate information needed to complete the task–something for which he was soundly criticized by Obama and the liberals. For Obama to try to capitalize on this makes him even more pathetic!

President BUSH, YOU ARE HERO NO. 1. THE WHOLE WORLD OWS YOU ITS FREEDMOM. GOD BLESS YOU
A CANADIAN WHO SUFFERED WITH YOU THE 9-11 ATTROCITY.

Thank you Obama, Bush bs’d he left the dirty work to Obama but he did it anyway everyone was so worried on what he wasnt doing but hello if if was for him and their was another attack we’d be in a even bigger economic crisis Obama didnt let that happen!!!

Thank Obama that’s a joke, I would say it’s a ploy for reelection if we did even in fact get Osama Bin Laden I would like to see the proof
But like sheep every one believes it’s true

Obama snidely remarked, “And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al-Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network”—as if killing or capturing bin Laden was not also a top priority of the previous administration.
Perhaps if the Dems had allowed the Bush adminsitration to do a little more water-boarding we could have gotten bin Laden years earlier.

Messages to D:
would you speak from you self! I’m not miss Bush!

President Bush made the vow. President Obama honored it. The CIA and the military carried it out! Thanks to all, especially our heroes in uniform!

President Bush made this happen. If he hadn’t taken charge and made unpopular decisions then we’d be a lot worse off than we are today. It’s too bad he couldn’t have had a 3rd term – I miss having a leader that actually worked hard and tried to accomplish something. Thank goodness we have a very strong military who believes in our country and is willing to fight hard to keep us safe

This all began in Clinton’s term, ended in Obama’s term, but GW was the man who put the pieces together to finally hunt for this guy. Whoever would be president at this time would follow the same advice of his intell and order the same hit. Who started the prison in Cuba for these criminals, and who wanted to close it during his campaign? Where did the intell come from?

just get our men an woman soldiers home and let them all in the other countries at war or whatever kill each other off. Not our problem. We have our own problems in our own back yard. Concentrate on that Mr president! And as far as Obama getting credit, BS!!! He was there at the right time thats all! Bring our families home and let the other country’s destroy themselves!

Oh, Russ, I pray it isn’t so.
Our country can’t sustain the financial burden.
Glad that BO ordered the job done.
Glad GWB started the job.
Glad the military completed the job.
Credit should be given where credit is due, be it BO or GWB.

I haven’t been able to get a tune out of my head for two days now, and for once, I’m GLAD it won’t go away. It’s a (respectful) parody of one Glenn Miller tune from WWII about Hitler. I guess my brain just wanted to join in the celebration…!

I did not & would not vote for him, but cheers to Obama. He did promise in at least that 1 debate with McCain to kill OBL in Pakistan if necessary if the intel was good. It is a parallel universe to see Obama of all people keep a campaign promise. A good one, that is. Not the leftist garbage like no-DADT, Obamacare, etc. Oh well, hats off to him, for this one.

Our country would not be in this mess if Bush had not been such a bad president, one of the worst in our lifetime. We are so blessed to live in the best country in the world, and thank god for Obama and are Military, people just do not know how lucky we are. How would you like to live like the rest of the worldyouall need to wake up, and be thankful for our freedom, and love oneanother, and stop complaining. ,

Leave the hate behind

@ Al in Social….. What makes you think President Obama needed help w/ his speech??? I don’t know if you’re implying that he “needs” help because he isn’t intelligent…… Every President has a team of help…. Bush is no exception…. But even w/ PR writing all his speeches….. He still wasn’t able to deliver & sound educated!!! Good Grief….. Have you ever listened to him give a speech. Bush is really dumber than a bag of rocks!!!!!!

Thank you President Bush. None of this would have or could have happened without your efforts to protect our country and your relentless pursuit of OBL. Anybody who believes otherwise Is living in a fantasy world.

What did Obama do? Why are you congratulating him? What has he done to make sure our gas prices go down? And uh….what is the unemployment rate again? Go ahead and vote for him.

THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA AND THE US MILITARY. Bush said in several statments after he could not find OBL that he was not looking for him and he had not heard from him in a while. You see that is why we are being attacked because United States does not stand to gether.

THANK YOU PRESIDENT BUSH FOR A JOB WELL DONE.

President Bush-congratulations!You worked tirelessly for this end, and the fact that you didn’t pull the trigger doesn’t make OBL anyless dead. Thanks Mr. President

now come on credit should be givin to president obama he finished the job president brush started, but did not finish but I really thank all of armed forces and special forces .

Thank you President Clinton,Bush, and Obama, and your intelligent and national security advisors for a job well done in protecting ,not only your constituents but your country aswell. An emense gratitude to the 6 members of the seal6 team for literally putting your life in peril inreturn for peace for the world.God bless our president, God bless the seal 6,God bless the WORLD.

OBAMA ALL THE WAY

I wonder what today’s world would have been like without a country like the U.S
Kudos to all America Presidents & double that to President Obama.
God bless America.

Thank You G.W. Bush for removing my rights as an American to be able to speak about the realites of what went on on Sept.11, 2001. The Day America died. Every country gets the government it deserves.

President Bush put all the things in place that were needed to make this happened. Obama could not have made this happen if it were not for the Bush/Cheney Administration. Anyone who says otherwise is not educated enough to understand and should keep their mouth shut.

Obama KEPT the BUSH INTELLIGENCE team and still is, because Bush set up Homeland Security, which forced the FBI, CIA, NSA, and military intelligence to SHARE their info among each other rather than trying to be babies and say “It belongs to ME”! BUSH’S team caught him. Bush set up the SEALS. Obanma ONLY got up the GUTS, AFTER “SLEEPING ON IT ONE NIGHT”(on his wife, or to sallow Osama a last ditch effort to escape) to give the go order. THAT was the EXTENT of Obamas move! It was GW that REALLY GOT HIM, and the teams of intel and seals he set up!
