With firends like OBAMA who needs enemies?

@JoeBrenn Obama didn't do shit to get Osama. The hard workers in JSOC and Navy SEALSs got him. Obama just sat back and took credit, like the scumbag politician he is. Barack doesn't coordinate air strikes or military operations, he tells the military what he wants and other people do the work. Giving him CREDIT is laughable and wrong. It's also sick to credit him rather than the people who worked and risked their lives. He went against the constitution to conduct operations in Libya.

@Onion836 So....you're saying Obama DIDN'T actually "get" Osama? He sures sounds like it was all him, when all he did was wait 8 hours, and then say, "Ok, go"

The president (legally or not) puts the troops in whatever war-zone that they're in, so he does have control over what is targeted to a large extent. To completely give him a pass is laughable and wrong.

@JessicaMcKinnon1981 The president has no control over how the actual military operations are carried out. That's up to the air force. Obama doesn't tell the pilots what to do, neither does Bush.

President Obama scores a huge victory in Libya. Military targets were taken care of by NATO air power. Civilian casualties at the result of American air strikes were limited and reduced. This stands in stark contrast to President Bush's military policy of strafing villages in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2009, which resulted in scores of Afghan civilian deaths!

Obama is the one who is air-raiding villages with drones and killing without Congressional approval in three countries, Afghanistan, Libya, and Yemen. At least Bush got Congressional approval, which majority of both the House and the Senate were Democrats who voted for both Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

but they still kill civilians

nice, a 13 second clip on youtube to continue dumbing down the people. No matter what cause you are for, a logical person knows better than this.

@JessicaMcKinnon1981 Ohh.. Of course. Hahaha. THERE's your PREDICTABLE excuse. Hey, liar: I'm not asking for "links"! Simply name ALL these so-called "wedding parties", PLURAL, that were bombed. Yeah. You're saying "wedding parties", PLURAL. So simply NAME them. You're HIDING behind: "I can't put all the links here" crap is not proof, LIAR! PROVE it! You can't, liar.  Admit it. You ARE a liar and are despicable: "Bush's airstrikes merely devastated wedding parties." PROVE IT, LIAR!

@TruthDroveCove

I can't post links up on YouTube to demonstrate the number of air raids President Bush authorized on Afghan villages and wedding parties. But rest assured, I am not lying. NATO killed civilian rates at a higher rate than the insurgents did when Bush was in the White House. President Obama dealt swiftly with Osama bin Laden and his associates without the need to massacre civilians from the air.
