Killing bin Laden #SomeBodyElseMadeThatHappen

@ChrisLehane , Democrat strategist, gave a 3 word response to Larry Kudlow's query of Obama's foreign policy strength :"Usama bin Laden".





I would response with a 5 word response: "Somebody else made that happen", primarily, George W. Bush, who reorganized the dysfunctional intel structure from the debacle he inherited:

"Obama gave no credit whatsoever to the intelligence infrastructure the Bush administration set up that is being hailed from the left and right as setting in motion the operation that got Bin Laden. It rubbed Bush the wrong way."
Bush spokesman David Sherzer said Bush "appreciated the invite, but has chosen in his post-presidency to remain largely out of the spotlight."
Associates familiar with his thinking say Bush does not believe Obama or his handlers wanted to exploit his presence. But the tag-team idea "was for the benefit of Obama and Obama withheld credit from people Bush believes deserved it," a source said.

Additionally, all Obama managed to do in Iraq was snatch defeat from the jaws of victory after tremendous sacrifice of American blood and treasure:

when [Obama] became president in January 2009, he was handed a war that was won. The surge had succeeded. Al-Qaeda in Iraq had been routed, driven to humiliating defeat by an Anbar Awakening of Sunnis fighting side-by-side with the infidel Americans. Even more remarkably, the Shiite militias had been taken down, with American backing, by the forces of Shiite prime minister Nouri al-Maliki. They crushed the Sadr militias from Basra to Sadr City.

He blew it. Negotiations, such as they were, finally collapsed last month. There is no agreement, no partnership. As of December 31, the American military presence in Iraq will be liquidated.
