"The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done," Bush said in a statement.

George W. Bush is a class act. Obama will never hold a candle to his predecessor.

W is class all the way. The pimp occupying the office today can’t hold his jock.

God bless George Bush! I wish he could have gotten him, but regardless, this has to be a happy night for him.

Go to his FB page to give thanks :)

How much do you want to bet that GW will visit our troops at a base?

With this statement, Bush took the edge off from Obama.



To: Steelfish

BS from the usual suspect. Did Karl Rove have to write it for him?



To: Steelfish

Something's not adding up. Greta said that bin Laden was killed a week ago. CNN is saying Ubama just approved the operation on Friday. Bret Baier was interviewing President Bush's National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley and Hadley said that the Muslim world would rejoice at this news because more Muslims have been killed by bin Laden than Americans but then Bret Baier reports that the Ubama administration has issued a travel advisory to Americans travelling abroad because of heightened potential for anti-American violence.

So killing just one dude out of 6 billion is a momentous achievement. In the good old days before PC he would have been dead on 9/12/2001, and real men would have flattened the stupid moon rock just to be an a$$hole about it.

George W. Bush is a class act. Obama will never hold a candle to his predecessor. Truly authentic Americans (George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld) set up the sequence of events that led to Bin Laden's demise. On her twitter account, another true American comments: SarahPalinUSA Sarah Palin

Thank you, American men and women in uniform. You are America's finest and we are all so proud. Thank you for fighting against terrorism. Note that the usurper isn't mentioned. If anything BHO's illegal ascension to the White House was responsible for delaying the killing of Bin Laden.

This would be like crediting Harry Truman for winning WWII.

I had my issues with Dubya but he was no pansy. He had guts and even when he was wrong he was still a patriotic American. I wish he could have gotten OBL. I’m sure Obama thinks he can ride this all the way to 4 more years.

This would be like crediting Harry Truman for winning WWII. ...or Ruffin McNeill for the Red Raiders 2009 season. :-) (Courtesy ping to WhyisaTexasGirlinPA for a mention of TTU football and the disgraceful treatment of Mike Leach. Yes, I'm still not over it.)

Nice reference nortex!

The SEALs deserve all the tactical credit. W deserves all the strategic credit. It’s become evident the intelligence on the courier they tracked to Osama was gained during 2007 Gitmo interrogations. If Zero wants to claim victory personally, we need to put together a montage showing his calls to close Gitmo while Bush was in office.
