That’s a lot of plans and a lot of years. And in all that time, the most audacious plan of all was authorized by…
None other than President Barack Obama! Yes, the plan to kill Bin Laden!
At least according to Joe Biden, and who am I to doubt Joe Biden? His reasoning is that if the raid failed, BHO wouldn’t get reelected and it was a 48% proposition that Bin Laden was there. My theory is that if the raid failed, we’d never have heard anything about it. For all we know, this might have been the tenth raid to get the guy, with the first nine failing. We’ll never know this, unless BHO tells us and even then we won’t know it because it might not be true.
Not to take away from the SEALs who went in to get the guy, I suspect the Normandy landings were a bit more audacious than anything Barry Obama will ever have to order. Can you imagine BHO having to deal with something of that magnitude? Let’s hope he’s never in that situation, because we’ll be screwed.
We’ve had a lot of presidents who had to deal with a lot of tough decisions, and most don’t go bragging about how audacious they were to have made them. They just do what’s necessary. What is it about Democrat presidents that the job has to be about them?
