25. His point still makes absolutely no sense

Sun Sep 9, 2012, 10:02 PM

Sep 2012

as he tries to date the raid back to before 9/11 and during the Bush administration.

It also makes no sense as Bush allowed bin Laden to escape Tora Bora. Bush then went on to repeat that he had no idea where bin Laden was and wasn't concerned, closing down the unit that was looking for him.

It's all hogwash.

President Obama got bin Laden. That really irks Republicans.
