8. " If the mission to kill Bin Laden had failed...."

You can almost bet that a Republican Administration would have fucked up the planning/execution of said mission, based on the fact that that's how it went down in Tora Bora, under His Majesty the Shrub.

As an Electorate, the general mass of the American People might be rock stupid, but in this case, they know full well who issued the kill order (and took the political risk that came with it) and who didn't. McConnell and his cadre of sad clowns can cry all they want. It won't do them ANY good, and any Republican dumb enough to bring it up in a debate is going to find themselves on the wrong end of an ass-whooping stick.

And yeah, that picture is awesome.

If the mission failed, would we ever have even known about it? nt Ruby the Liberal Aug 2012 #6

That's actually an interesting point. But I think it would have been leaked one way or another. Proles Aug 2012 #7

Theres already a book out on it? Ruby the Liberal Aug 2012 #9
