    Well none of the intelligence sources and technology Obama has used to successfully eradicate much of the terrorist leadership in less than three years as president were available during the final seven years of the Bush administration.

    Oh wait, they were ...

    Yep, he's also killed an American journalist.

    On further review, maybe the moderators want to move this to the Jobs board...Inspire is looking for a new editor.

    The huge sound you just heard was the Taliban, ISI and the Iranian government collectively shrugging.

    Well, given that keeping the country safe is Job 1 for a president, I'd say you're right about that, Piotr.

    Unfortunately, the same can not be said about the man Obama replaced, as he failed immediately 2,975+ people, and indirectly millions more, in doing that.

    Obama should announce he will no longer authorize the killing of terrorist targets and would like to deeply apologize for the ones already killed. To emphasize this he should bow and kneel at the camera.

    I am sure that will garner him massive support from the right wing.

    You can't be serious.
    Captured or killed on Pres. Bush's watch:

    Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, 9-11 mastermind, captured

    Abu Zubaydah, close aid to Osama Bin Laden, captured

    Abu Al-Zarqwi, Al-Qaeda head of operations in Iraq, killed 6/8/06

    Isam Asad, head of Bin Laden's personal bodyguards, killed 3/1/08

    Abu Sulayman Jazairi, AQ operations commander for planned attacks on the West after 9-11, killed 3/16/08

    Abu Khabab Al Masri, head of AQ weapons of mass destruction program, killed 7/28/08

    Khalid Habib, AQ commander of forces in Pakistan and NW Afghanistan, killed 10/16/08

    Abu Jihad al Masri, head of AQ intelligence, killed 10/31/08

    Abdullah Azzam al Saudi, AQ liaison to the Taliban, killed 11/19/08

    Took me five minutes on the internet. Try to do better than that ridiculous claim you made above.

    Based on the aftermath of the bin Laden operation, I hope somebody at the White House had the foresight to put Dr. James Andrews on retainer.

    As much as Barry and his pals enjoy patting themselves on the back for killing bad guys, I'd hate to see the Commander-in-Chief have to miss out on a round of golf because of a rotator cuff injury.

    John Brennen must have hurt his shoulder. We have not heard much from him since his post Bin Laden press conference.
