When the Official Death Certificate for Osama bin Laden is prepared, under “Cause of Death” the following words should be inserted:
Succumbed to anti-terrorism policies, including “enhanced interrogation techniques,” approved by President George W. Bush.
As unseemly and grotesque as Barack Obama’s self-congratulatory theatrics have been, the man’s adamant refusal to admit that W.’s policies ultimately nailed bin Laden is even more despicable and disgusting.
The fact is that Barack Obama contributed nothing original to the project. From this president came no new ideas or inspiration, nothing that would hasten bin Laden’s long-overdue departure.
Obama’s greatest challenge was to simply stay out of the way and not botch the project, especially given the excellent anti-terrorism strategies and systems established by W.
The inconvenient truth is that if Obama had been president at the time of 9/11 and immediately thereafter, thugs like KSM would have been tried in civilian courts, probably acquitted and released to plot even more 9/11 attacks.
Intelligence of the sort that led to Obama’s demise in Abbottabad are directly and completely attributable to President George W. Bush, regardless of how inconvenient that fact is to Obama and the Left.
