chasing the bastids out of caves, when AWOLBush/Cheny announced that "our allies" in Pakistan were "guarding the border" for us. I knew right then that killing Bin laden and other terrorists was not their priority.

Holding back troops for the Iraq oil grab was why we didn't have US troops guarding the border at Tora Bora.

24. I find it highly immoral, but, heh, can't disagree with you.

He did exactly what he'd said he'd do. Unlikely waffling Bush who LIHOP'd his way into the White House that second time.

8. Mitt rushing to a microphone to say he would have gotten him too

Romney's argument about Obama being an appeaser, apologist, and a disaster on foreign security is unraveling more every day. Romney's a clown and America knows it.

23. Whereas Obama has to pretend it never happened

Otherwise, even a passing reference to it by Obama is considered spiking the football.
