Did you know that John Kerry served in Vietnam<\/del> Barack Obama ordered the attack on Bin Laden?<\/p>\n

It’s true! \u00a0He did!<\/p>\n

It’s entirely possible that the “Would Romney Have Done It?” ad will be forgotten in a few months, long before the election.<\/p>\n

But not if I can help it<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Brandon Webb, a former SEAL who spent 13 years on active duty and served in Iraq and Afghanistan, said: \u2018Bush should get partial credit for putting the system in place.<\/p>\n

\u2018Obama inherited a very robust package with regards to special ops and the intelligence community. But Obama deserves credit because he got bin Laden \u2013 you can\u2019t take that away from him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I mean, give credit where it’s due…<\/p>\n

\u2018My friends that work in Special Operations Command (SOCOM) that have been on video teleconferences with Obama on these kill or capture situations say that Obama has no issue whatsoever with making decisions and typically it’s kill. He\u2019s hitting the kill button every time. I have a lot of respect for him for that.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…with the operative phrase being “where it’s due”.<\/p>\n

But he said that many SEALs were dismayed about the amount of publicity the Obama administration had generated about SEAL Team Six, the very existence of which is highly classified.<\/p>\n

\u2018The majority of the SEALs I know are really proud of the operation but it does become \u201cOK, enough is enough \u2013 we\u2019re ready to get back to work and step out of the limelight.\u201d They don\u2019t want to be continuously paraded around a global audience like a show dog.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Or a campaign pamphlet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
