Because Barbara Boxer said so? This administration would never admit that harsh interrogation yielded anything valuable, it goes against everything they campaigned on....but you are free to believe anything they tell us.

I Totally, Agree, and have been saying that for years, He didn't have the "time", because he only has time for fund raisers, tee-times, & hoops.
He NEVER HAD, NOR WILL EVER HAVE THE TRAINING TO BE an effective leader, or Commander-in-chief.
It should be,
, and we all know it!
Like Bush did!?! LOL I could have really seen him having 'an active hand in this mission.' Please.
You mean other than starring in his own action-adventure film proclaiming "Mission Accomplished"?
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. How many "I's" do you think Bush delivered in that little display?
Kinda like the Roman coliseum display in Denver, shameful.
I did the last count, and stated my comments.
Do your own research for a change you tell me, "How many "I's" do you think Bush delivered in that little display?"

Yeah, I agree it really was shameful the way the Right made up that whole thing about a "Roman Colliseum".

So a picture being worth a thousand words, and that video consisting of thousands of frames...hmmmm, tens of millions, but still a mere drop in the bucket compared to the numbers he left us in the form of a budget deficit.
Funny how you guys want to give Bush credit for Obama finding Osama bin Laden but you don't want us to give Bush credit for his REAL accomplisments......

And tonight, I have a special word for Secretary (Donald) Rumsfeld, for General (Tommy) Franks, and for all the men and women who wear the uniform of the United States: America is grateful for a job well done.
When I look at the members of the United States military, I see the best of our country, and Iam honored to be your commander in chief.
As Ispeak, a special operations task force, led by the 82nd Airborne, is on the trail of the terrorists, and those who seek to undermine the free government of Afghanistan.
Nineteen months ago, I pledged that the terrorists would not escape the patient justice of the United States.
Our war against terror is proceeding according to principles that I have made clear to all:
Boy, it's a good thing he didn't say "we"... You guys would be bashing him for not being in control, and not being the Commander-in-Chief, where "the buck stops here."
Poor Righties... Slim pickens for outrage-of-the-day today, huh?

The early narrative of the assault on Osama bin Laden had him using his wife as a human shield and firing from behind her. Now we learn he wasn't armed.
The White House Tuesday blamed "the fog of war" for conflicting statements in its recounting of the events surrounding the Abbottabad raid that killed Osama bin Laden, but the history of misstatements from U.S. government officials about various combat operations raises questions about whether briefers also were subjecting us to a counterterrorism strategy and not just completely confused in their initial statements.
Consider the narrative put forward by John Brennan, the assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, in a televised briefing the Associated Press described as an "uncharacteristically candid exchange with reporters."
