re: #675 Shiplord Kirel

From the fever swamp:

This idjit is essentially accusing not just the president (a foregone conclusion) but the joint chiefs, the SEALs, the officers and crew of the USS Carl Vinson, and anyone else with direct knowledge of this operation of criminal complicity in a politically motivated hoax. Further, they are alleged to be so stupid as to ignore the near certainty of Osama popping up alive to discredit such a hoax.

They good news is that line seems to be the minority. Most on the right aren’t crediting Obama, but they are giving the SEALs and CIA the praise deserved. I don’t agree with that myself: While calling Obama’s action one of the “most gutsiest” actions in presidential history, as John Brennen did, is inaccurate. The lion’s share of the credit clearly belongs to the SEALs and the CIA. That having been said, Obama did make the right decisions throughout the process leading up to the raid and he was right to order the raid itself.
