If the mission to kill Bin Laden had failed.... [View all]

The country wouldn't have been blaming the Navy Seals for sheer incompetence. Even if the mission succeeded and we lost a soldier- even the German Shepherd- Republicans would have put the blame squarely on the head of the Commander In Chief, and perhaps rightly so.

Now they're resurrecting the "Obama didn't do it" to take away one of the crowning achievements of this administration shortly before the election. Needless to say, the timing isn't a coincidence and
it's the height of dishonesty that they're pretending there was no risk on the president's part in approving the mission his predecessor was afraid to do.

President Obama rolled the dice and put his faith in the military for a mission that could have easily ended his presidency in November. That he didn't come up snake eyes and get our soldiers killed is what really upsets these "patriots".
