It was a notable achievement by our President; one of many in the first term...

Saying OK go ahead wasn't much of an achievment. Political suicide if he didn't.

Nobatabale achievement was the Bush policies that forever changed how we go after terroists, when for 8 years Clinton ignored them.

You funny, Joe.

The death of Osama bin Laden: how the US finally got its man
Full story: The Guardian

The trail began with a single, false name and ended, years later, with Osama bin Laden's body sinking into the sea Target in sight:'Our expectation was that if he was there, he would go down fighting,' said Barack Obama.

THIS IS ALL FICTION-PROPAGANDA WRITING AS LADEN DIED A NATURAL DEATH ON DECEMBER 15, 2001, FROM THE MARFAN SYNDROME, A CONNECTIVE TISSUE DISEASE, AND WAS BURIED DECEMBER 16, 2001, SOMEWHERE IN PAKISTAN.

"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." --George Bush--Washington, D.C., Sept. 13, 2001

19. "I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." --George Bush--Washington, D.C., March 13, 2002

Poor teabaggers.

No matter who was sitting in the White House, we still would have gotten bin Laden. Obama does not deserve one ounce of credit for it happening on his watch. In fact, if it were not for the very practices of our intelligence services (waterboarding, rendition, etc.) that Obama condemned, we would never gotten bin Laden at all. Obama has nothing to hang his hat on, unless failure counts.

Examples of Mr. Obama, now in his fourth year as president, adopting Bush-era measures:

Special operations forces. One of the first steps taken by President Bush after Sept. 11 was to revive, fund and expand special operations forces as the dog that would hunt down and kill terrorists.

President Bush also made U.S. Special Operations a war-independent command, just like U.S. Central Command, meaning it could plan and execute its own battle plans.

The U.S. Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), the Army's Delta Force and Navy’s SEAL Team 6 mostly had focused on hostage rescue. After Sept. 11, they started receiving the manpower and intelligence to become manhunters. Their biggest successes: Saddam Hussein; al Qaeda’s top Iraq terrorist, Abu Musab Zarqawi; and Osama bin Laden.

Special Ops/Intelligence. The Bush administration fused commandos with the nation’s intelligence agencies — the CIA, the National Security Agency and the Defense Intelligence Agency — into task forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

President Bush also transferred a highly secretive military intelligence unit, which specialized in technical surveillance and intercepts, to the Joint Special Operations Command so that commandos and intelligence experts could work together directly.

Predator strikes. The Bush administration established Predator drone bases in Pakistan to strike at al Qaeda and Taliban extremists in that country’s frontier badlands, where U.S. ground troops cannot go.

Well Done President Bush!!

Attacks under Clinton: The Cole, The US Air Force Barracks in Saudi, the US Embassy in Narobi, The First WTC attacks.........

While it’s been well documented that the Bush administration missed an opportunity to get bin Laden in Tora Bora in 2001, Bush himself subsequently stated publicly that he wasn’t spending much time thinking about getting him.“I truly am not that concerned about him. I am deeply concerned about Iraq,” Bush said in 2002,“I really just don’t spend that much time on him, to be honest with you.” Bush told reporters in 2006 that hunting the al Qaeda leader was “not a top priority use of American resources.”

And in 2005, Bush shut down the CIA’s unit dedicated to finding bin Laden in order to shift resources to Iraq.“The Central Intelligence Agency has closed a unit that for a decade had the mission of hunting Osama bin Laden and his top lieutenants,”

Yes George well done indeed.

Poor teabagger.

Better than ANYTHING George ever accomplished.

He let his buddy's family fly away scot free:

In the days immediately following Sept. 11, 2001, while the airways were still closed to all other flights, Americans couldn't fly into the country but relatives of bin Laden were able to fly out. The Justice Department and the FBI inspector general should investigate why these obvious "persons of interest" were permitted to leave the country without being seriously interrogated.

Why should the American people trust the Bush administration with greater police powers when it refuses to answer questions about the bin Laden family's escape?
FBI officials say that agents had interviewed the bin Laden relatives before the White House cleared them to leave the country. But Dale Watson, the former head of counter-terrorism at the FBI, has said the departing Saudis "were not subject to serious interviews or interrogations".

Secretary of State Colin Powell has admitted that the flights were "coordinated within the government" but has offered no details about the FBI's involvement. For his part, Vice President Cheney claimed no knowledge of the flights, "but a lot of folks from that part of the world left in the aftermath of 9/11 because they were worried about public reaction here in the United States or that somehow they might be discriminated against."

Bush’s attempts to capture or kill bin Laden were huge failures. While it’s been well documented that the Bush administration missed an opportunity to get bin Laden in Tora Bora in 2001, Bush himself subsequently stated publicly that he wasn’t spending much time thinking about getting him.“I truly am not that concerned about him. I am deeply concerned about Iraq,” Bush said in 2002,“I really just don’t spend that much time on him, to be honest with you.” Bush told reporters in 2006 that hunting the al Qaeda leader was “not a top priority use of American resources.”

Obama killed Chris Stevens too by that measure. He allowed it to happen. Just like Bin Laden.

And Brian Terry too as he was in charge and the buck stops at the top!
