Illegally bombed Libya which has plunged the country into chaos with much of the country controlled by Islamist Militias. Funded Islamist rebels in Syria (working alongside Al Qaeda ffs) which gave rise to ISIS.
I mean, what's not to approve?

Bin Laden orchestrated the attacks on 9/11 in the same way Obama orchestrated the attack on the Bin Laden compound.
Give credit where credit is due.
Why couldn't Bush do it? He had 7 years after 9/11 to do it.
If Bush or any other Republican had overseen the Bin Laden defeat you'd be all over it. But it was Obama so you refuse to give him credit.

The 'we will fine you if you don't give your money to an insurance company act' is a pretty good one too.

Cuz bin Laden's father and Bush's father were, and still are, business partners.

Apparently Osama's death wasn't much of a deal to the family. So that conspiracy theory doesn't really hold water either.

I don't know about Bush's father and Bin Laden's father, but certainly Dick Cheney, Haliburton, and he were all pretty tight.

When I think about how conservatives went crazy over whether or not Obama did or did not bow when he was in Japan. . I just smile.

Why? It doesn't look like Rumsfeld there is bowing in inferiority to Hussein.

"When conservatives get mad about Obama bowing in inferiority to the Prime Minister of Japan, I smile to myself because I know the ironic truth: Rumsfeld sold weapons to Iraq thirty years ago."
I don't see a connection.

Bush ties to bin Laden haunt grim anniversary - The Denver Post
Quote:
With fewer than 50 ground troops surrounding the massive Tora Bora region in the mountains of Afghanistan where bin Laden was hiding, ground commanders pleaded for 800 more soldiers, according to Gary Berntsen, the CIA field commander whose book "Jawbreaker" goes into amazing detail about the botched paramilitary operation. Bernt-sen and other ground commanders said the U.S. let Osama bin Laden get away.
Was this because of President George Bush's close ties to the bin Laden family?
In 1978, Bush and Osama bin Laden's brother, Salem bin Laden, founded Arbusto Energy, an oil company based in Texas.
Several bin Laden family members invested millions in The Carlyle Group, a private global equity firm based in Washington, DC. The company's senior advisor was Bush's father, former President George H.W. Bush. After news of the bin Laden-Bush connection became public, the elder Bush stepped down from Carlyle.
Interestingly, on Sept. 11, 2001, members of the Carlyle Group - including Bush senior, and his former secretary of state, James Baker - were meeting at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Washington, D.C., along with Shafiq bin Laden, another one of Osama bin Laden's brothers.
While all flights were halted following the terrorist attacks, there was one exception made: The White House authorized planes to pick up 140 Saudi nationals, including 24 members of the bin Laden family, living in various cities in the U.S. to bring them back to Saudi Arabia, where they would be safe. They were never interrogated.

But since the start of the "war on terrorism", the firm - unofficially valued at $3.5bn - has taken on an added significance. Carlyle has become the thread which indirectly links American military policy in Afghanistan to the personal financial fortunes of its celebrity employees, not least the current president's father. And, until earlier this month, Carlyle provided another curious link to the Afghan crisis: among the firm's multi-million-dollar investors were members of the family of Osama bin Laden.

Are you talking about the Bush ****? Pretty sure the reason it was brought up was to point out how ridiculous it is that Obama supporters are shoving bin Laden's capture into everyone's face as a major Obama accomplishment, when it obviously wasn't even a priority for Bush.

And here's a picture of Obama shaking Gaddafi's hand.
Neat.
Of course in 20-30 years, whoever we are 'friends' with in the Middle East will be a horrible dictator when we no longer have a use for them. Probably one of those 'moderate' Syrian rebels that Obama is arming, right?
