As the operation to remove UBL from this mortal coil becomes more public, the failure of our Punter In Chief will become better known.We all are aware of the consistency of the Democrat politician; deny and demagogue. Just kick the can down the road and wait until someone else comes along and attempts a fix. Then, deny there is a problem, and call the good Samaritan names.
What is clear to me is that the Punter In Chief, never having had the responsibility for ever having to accomplish anything, whatsoever, was not the best guy to have in charge over the past week-end. That UBL is dead is done. How to handle it?
Seems no one thought that through.
So, during the next few days and weeks, we're going to be hearing a lot about such things as releasing pictures, or not releasing pictures. Whether or not we violated UBL's Constitutional Rights, or, his human rights. Whether or not he was protected by the Geneva Accords. And the White House's response will be to kick it down the road. Punting the ball. (BTW--thanks to Rog for the above pic. I don't remember where the others came from.)
It must have been great fun sitting in the Situation Room as this was all coming down. And being fairly clueless as to what one would be expected to do. This was a real situation. Real pros doing dangerous things. With buttons that really work.So, what happened? You can read about it here.
