OSAMA: Credit where it's due

The underlying moral is that Obama finished what Bush began immediately following the World Trade Center tragedy. What liberals could never, ever understand was our primary reason for being in Afghanistan. We needed revenge and we had to get that animal and his acolytes. The Brig, Stockade, Prison whatever one wants to call it in Guantanamo Bay was absolutely vital to isolate these terrorists in order to get information to track down Osama.

I am happy and obviously the nation-at-large is jubilant. This nation owes a debt of gratitude to George Bush for beginning the blood trail, mobilizing our armed forces, and yes, to Obama for taking up the baton (in spite of the trash that wanted to abandon the quest, close Gitmo and let Osama mock this country) and terminate that barbarian.

I am glad that Obama finally came to the realization that his primary responsibility as our president is the safety and security of American citizens. Hope springs eternal and I certainly do wish that there are no more Apology Tours conducted by Obama. This great nation has nothing for which to apologize.

Mission accomplished and as far as Afghanistan is concerned: We should leave forthwith and let those vermin kill themselves.
