Mitt: "Even Jimmy Carter" would have ordered the Osama raid.

Mitt Romney informs us that the raid that took out Osama bin Laden one year ago was no big deal, because "even Jimmy Carter would have given that order."

But let's remember:

1) Jimmy Carter is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy who spent ten years in the uniformed service of his country. As far as I can tell, this is ten years more than the cumulative service of members of the Romney clan.

2) Jimmy Carter did indeed make a gutsy go/no-go call. It turned out to be a tactical, strategic, and political disaster.

3) Precisely because of the consequences of Carter's failure, Obama was the more daring in making his go/no-go decision. That's the case I argued last year, and nothing I've learned since then changes my view. As a college student, Obama had seen a marginally popular Democratic president come to ruin because he approved a helicopter-based secret mission into hostile Middle Eastern terrain.

Some advice DUmmy, the chickenhawk argument probably isn't a good idea, since Barry didn't serve.

6. chickenhawks shouldn't talk about those who served, asshole

President Carter has more integrity in his little toenail than mr romney

Once again chickenhawk is not a road you wanna go down.

liberal N proud
7. Jimmy Carter was President - that is something that Romney can't say about himself.

Hopefully it will always be that way.

I would take Carter any day over the shit Romney is selling.

Hell we already have Carter.

So, Obama is a slow learner, then?  He too went with using helicopters, and in the process we lost a lot of technological secrets.  Sure , the main goal of killing bin Laden was met by the SEALs, but overall the mission was not a 100% success.

You can always tell when a political shot strikes home by the outraged screams of pain.

I'm sick of hearing this shit from the people who applaud Bradley Manning, John Murtha, Jesse MacBeth, John Kerry, Jane Fonda, Tom Harkin, Ehrin Watada and every other POS that fakes military honors, faked war crimes to defame the US and/or gave aid and comfort to the enemy.

Its "seared, SEARED" into their memories. They cut off ears and raped villages in a manner reminiscent of "Jenjis" (Kerry speak) Khan, they threw someone else's medals over the White House fence to protest a "Republican" war that Democrats started. Still waiting on the form 180 that Kerry promised to sign and release to the public to "prove" that he was telling the truth, and the Swift Boat Vets were the "liars".

Don't forget Jay Polk, the first American warrior to lose his life in our clandestine offensive in Syria.

His story was told exclusively by the crazy bald dwarf, in the East County free online moonbat blog.

She stumbled on his tragic story in a Facebook post that proved to be bogus.

There was no soldier named Jay Polk killed in Syria or anywhere else in the world.

The San Diego occupoopers planned a memorial ceremony based on nutcase nadin's scoop, then were embarrassed to cancel when it became apparent Jay Polk did not exist.

As nadin pointed out, just because every detail she reported turned out to be bogus, that doesn't mean we don't have clandestine forces in Syria, so there was never an apology or retractioin.

They actually went ahead and held the memorial service, even though most of them knew it was a load of crap.  http://obrag.org/?p=52536  I guess they saw it as one of theose "fake but accurate" news events.
