President George W. Bush Received Greater Poll Bounce for Capture of Saddam Than Obama Got for Killing Bin Laden

In a word … GUTSY!

As reported at CNS News, former President GWB received a greater poll bounce for the capture of Iraq’s Saddam Hussein than Barck Obama did for the capture and killing of Osama Bin Laden. There’s something you will not here the bias MSM or Obama’s minions tout when they coordinate their talking points that Obama is “gutsy”. According to Gallup polls, GWB received a greater bounce than Obama did.

Obama Says, “really W, I plan on using all your same policies in the war on terror, even though I say otherwise. Because I hope to get a bounce one day, just like you.

Obama got a 6-point bounce in his Gallup job approval after he announced that U.S. Navy SEALS had raided a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan and killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. Bush got either a 7-point or a 9-point bounce—depending on the day you calculate from (Gallup used both figures)–after he announced that U.S. forces in Iraq had captured alive former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

Obama’s approval rating was at 46 percent for the three-day period ending on April 30 and again for the three-day period ending on May 1. Late on Sunday, May 1, Obama announced U.S. forces had killed bin Laden. After that, Obama’s job approval climbed for three straight days, peaking at 52 percent for the three-day period ending on May 4.

Rather interesting food for thought that you will never hear in the MSM. Also, if you have to have others tell people that you are “gutsy” its a good shot that you are not. Comparable to the size of a man wearing a bowling shirt that says “Slim”.

Former VP Dick Cheney Says, “it’s an “outrage” the Obama administration continues to investigate CIA agents who interrogated terror suspects”

IT’S AN OUTRAGE …

Former Vice President Dick Cheney went on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace to discuss the killing of Osama Bin Laden and the continued investigations into CIA agents by the Obama Administration’s AG Eric Holder.  Talk about a mixed message and having your cake and eating it to on the part of Barack Obama. As he takes credit for the killing of Bin Laden, he also is having his administration investigate the very individuals who gathered the intelligence. Dick Cheney did provide profs to Obama; however, he also said that the justice probe of CIA agents was an “OUTRAGE”.

Cheney noted there was a “complete investigation” during the Bush administration that concluded the agents had not violated the law. He said the decision by Holder to reopen that case and hand it over to a special prosecutor sets a “terrible precedent.”

“These are government employees. They did nothing wrong, as best as any of us knows,” Cheney told “Fox News Sunday.” “It is an outrage that we would go after the people who deserve the credit for keeping us safe for seven and a half years.”

Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld also said Sunday that the Obama administration should set the CIA probe “aside” and move on, calling it a “most unfortunate thing.”

“These people were operating at the direction of the president. They were doing things that had been approved by the Department of Justice,” Rumsfeld said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “And it sends a chill throughout the government.”

The Lonely Conservative reminds us that this is not the first time that the Obama Administration has gone after heroes.Let us not forget when they went after Navy Seals for abusing terrorist.

Oh, and remember when they prosecuted Navy SEALS for “abusing” terrorists? The case fell apart, they were just trying to make examples of them. Now they bask in the glory brought to them by the Navy SEALS.

Which further goes to the questions that Chris Wallace would later ask Obama’s WH Security adviser Tom Donilon that shooting a terrorist in the head was consistent with US values but some how waterboarding wasn’t. I guess the same question can be asked as to Navy Seals being prosecuted for abusing terrorist. They can kill them but not abuse them, really?

Barack Obama, The Lying King: I Was For Killing Osama Bin Laden Before I was Against It, And Now It’s My #1 Priority

The internet and Google searches are a terrible things, especially when you are a flip-flopping President who just makes stuff up as he goes along. Welcome to Barack Obama: The Lion Lying King, part 27 … “I really want to kill Bin Laden, its always been my #1 priority.”

Talk about your Obama Flip-flops and continuous change of positions on the killing of Osama Bin Laden. How can anyone take what this guy says seriously? Obama’s opinion or policy changes as the wind blows. Is it possible to have a flip-flop to a flip-flop and then a reverse flip-flop with round off, two and a half flip with a twist?

During the 2008 Presidential election, candidate Obama talked a tough game when it came to the war on terror, killing Osama Bin Laden and ending Al-Qaeda.

Then when Obama became President, he very much changed his mind as to the priority of killing Osdama Bin Laden. Watch the following VIDEO where Obama now says in an interview with Katie Couric on January 14, 2009 that his preference is to kill or capture Bin Laden; however, if we have so tightened the noose that we will meet our goal to protect Americans.

All week long since Osama Bin Laden was killed us US Navy Seals, President Barack Obama told us that killing the mastermind terrorist was his top priority. Obama stated he was always for killing Bin Laden. However, what can only be described as Obama’s best impersonation of John Kerry it would appear that Obama was for the liking of Osama before he was against it. The Gateway Pundit has found a doozy from Obama’s past comments courtesy of the UK Times where Obama in 2009 had quite a different narrative than he is preaching today in his “KILL BIN LADEN” victory tour.

Barack Obama suggested last night that removing Osama bin Laden from the battlefield was no longer essential and that America’s security goals could be achieved merely by keeping al-Qaeda “on the run”.

“My preference obviously would be to capture or kill him,” he said. “But if we have so tightened the noose that he’s in a cave somewhere and can’t even communicate with his operatives then we will meet our goal of protecting America.”

Who really thinks by listening to Barack Obama’s own words that killing Osama Bin Laden was always his top priority? But he certainly has no problem taking a victory lap and telling America what his past words and comments have contradicted. Where is the MSM confronting Obama on his lack of consistency of past statements when it came to the death of Bin Laden?

Terrorist Group Hezbollah Opens Up Shop Across the Mexican Border

Not so Southern comfort …

So how secure is the Mexican-US border? Is drug and human trafficking really the United States biggest fear on our Southern border? Hardly. It appears that the terrorist group Hezbollah is opening up shop across the Mexican border. Could you imagine that terror groups are now partnering with Mexican drug cartels and we are told by our government that all is well.

A terrorist organization whose home base is in the Middle East has established another home base across the border in Mexico.

“They are recognized by many experts as the ‘A’ team of Muslim terrorist organizations,” a former U.S. intelligence agent told 10News.

The former agent, referring to Shi’a Muslim terrorist group Hezbollah, added, “They certainly have had successes in big-ticket bombings.”

Some of the group’s bombings include the U.S. embassy in Beirut and Israeli embassy in Argentina.

However, the group is now active much closer to San Diego.

But nothing to fear as Atlas Shrugs states, imagine an Iranian proxy jihad group infiltrating the US, a Muslim group with huge “success in big ticket bombings” — but not to worry, Obama tells us our borders are safe. When will the US ever take the issue of the Mexican border serious? Will it take another terror act to occur for our government to get serious?

Barack Obama Says He Won’t Release Death Pictures of Osama Bin Laden

In an interview for ’60 Minutes’ President Barack Obama told Steve Kroft that he will not allow the release of the kill shot images of terror mastermind Osama Bin Laden.Obama stated that the US did not need to “spike the football” and that we do not need to put out such images as trophies.

“It is important to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence or as a propaganda tool,” said the president.

“We don’t trot out this stuff as trophies,” Mr. Obama added. “The fact of the matter is, this is somebody who was deserving of the justice that he received.”

Trotting out as trophies? Once again Obama has a complete disconnect with the American people and just compared photos of a dead Bin Laden to what terrorists do in hanging victims bodies from bridges, dragging them through the street and video-taping the beheading of infidels. The other excuse used by Obama to not release photos of Bin Laden was that it could make radical Islamists slaughter and defile Americans. Huh?  As further opined by the Gateway Pundit, don’t the Islamic terrorists already do this?

A partial transcript of the Barack Obama interview on ’60 Minutes’ can be read HERE, where Obama states, “Bin Laden will not walk this Earth again”.

The question that I have to ask of the planned US Navy Seal incursion is what did the Obama Administration think was going to happen when they decided to have US Seals go in, kill and capture Bin Laden and take pictures. If they had planned on taking photos and video of the raid, did they not plan in advance what to do with those pics once the mission was completed? How could anyone not have an advance plan as to how to handle the photos? Why is Obama making it sound like this was the first time this issue was discussed? So much for planning in advance. One would think that Obama would have experience in the lack of releasing documents to the American public. Guess not.

The Other McCain seconds the idea by Sarah Palin that the photos should be released to the public as a a warning to others as to what will happen to you. If the US can get Bin Laden, we will get you too. Who really thinks that a picture is worse than plugging two bullets into the head of Bin Laden?
