Bin Laden Found on Tips from Guantanamo Bay. Didn’t Obama What to Shut that Place Down and Release the Terrorists?

By, David Bellow

Some have asked me if I am trying to politicize the death of Osama Bin Laden. I say no. I just want to give credit where credit is due. The death of Bin Laden is an amazing day in the history of America and I am very happy, just as everyone else is. But the full credit needs to go to our brave men and women who have fought and died over the last decade. THANK YOU SOLDIERS AND INTEL PERSONNEL. These brave men and women laid the groundwork which led to these tips which eventually led to finding Bin Laden. The credit needs to also go to President George W. Bush. It was his policies (which Obama greatly criticized) that led us to Bin Laden.  Obama’s speech after Bin Laden’s death was all about how Obama caught Bin Laden. Yes, Bin Laden was caught under Obama’s watch. President Obama deserves some credit of course and I thank Obama for making the call to go into Pakistan to kill Bin Laden, but Bin Laden was not found because of Obama and instead, Bin Laden was found IN SPITE of him[1].

Numerous news stories have come out which show that we found Bin Laden based off of tips from Guantanamo Bay[2] and other terrorist detention centers[3]. 

Wait a second! Didn’t Obama say that Bush was a really bad guy for having those detention centers and we should bring these terrorists to America to be given American rights and even release some of them? Yep, he sure did[4]. Thank God Guantanamo Bay was not shut down because if not for tips from the terrorists at Guantanamo Bay, we might never have found Bin Laden. Do you think those terrorists would have been talking if we gave them a lawyer and put them in a cozy American Prison with TVs and guitars? NO! President Bush kept America safe since 9/11 and his policies helped us finally get Osama Bin Laden[5]. In fact, the original tips that led to Bin Laden started coming in under Bush and long before Obama was President![6] So thank you President Obama for following through because you could have decided not to. Thank you. But we can thank Bush and the years of Dedication from our Military Service members as the reason for the groundwork and tips that led to this great time in our history when Osama Bin Laden was brought to Justice.

Osama Bin Laden Killed by US Military In Spite of Obama who didn’t want to Pay Military Three Weeks Ago

By, David Bellow 


Osama Bin Laden has been killed by the United States Military
 

This is one of the most important and happiest days in my life! Even if Bin Laden had already been rendered ineffective, thanks to the measures that President George W. Bush had implemented that kept us safe over the last decade, it is still a monumental symbolic victory to have killed the mastermind behind the attacks on September 11, 2001 that killed thousands of Americans and it finally brings Bin Laden to Justice.

President Obama says this attack on Bin Laden had been in the works for several months since getting a tip about where Osama Bin Laden might be hiding in Pakistan.[1]

Yet, it was not even a month ago that President Obama was willing to shut down the government and not pay the military because he wanted to make sure that an abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, was paid before the troops can get paid.[2] Obama was willing to not pay the men and women who just killed Osama Bin Laden, and he was willing to do this even though he knew they might be close to finding and killing Osama Bin Laden. Obama opposed the successful troop surge in Iraq and he took 3 months to decide if he should send more troops into Afghanistan after a troop surge was requested there.

Obama admits in his speech that years of groundwork had been laid by intelligence gathering and fighting terrorists in Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan. This victory of killing Bin Laden is a product of the dedicated men and women who served America over this past decade. It was not any special action carried out by President Obama that led to the tip of where Bin Laden was hiding. On the contrary, it was a tip that came about because of the years of work and dedication of our American Military, and it started well before Obama was President. In fact, Obama was willing to not pay our US Military members not even 3 weeks ago even though he knew they were on the verge of getting to Bin Laden.

Obama will get the credit for the killing of Bin Laden under his Presidency and he will make it a campaign slogan for sure. I say it happened in spite of him, and I believe many other Americans will see through the President’s attempts to take credit for being the reason Bin Laden was killed. Just like President Clinton took credit for the economic upturn due to the dot com boom (which had nothing to do with him), President Obama will take credit for killing Bin Laden and the US military who worked for a decade to find and kill Bin Laden will be downplayed in order to promote Obama as the reason that Bin Laden was killed.
