Even McConnell and Rubio have to admit it was a success...http://www.politicususa.com/2015/05...dmit-obama-approved-raid-isis-successful.html


Republicans like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) have been forced to admit on the Sunday shows that the Obama approved raid on ISIS in Syria has been successful.

McConnell and Rubio are two of the Republicans who tried to sabotage President Obama’s foreign policy with their letter to Iran, so for Republicans to not only admit the mission was a success, but also praise the president is something that has been virtually unseen during the Obama presidency.

Reports are that the US raid in Syria has killed 32 ISIS members including four leaders. The symbolic message that the raid sends is that terrorists are not safe anywhere on this Earth.

It takes an unspeakable amount of leadership for the President to authorize a mission where special operations forces are going into a territory where they have no allies on the ground.

The courage showed by those who carried out the mission is immeasurable, but they wouldn’t have been there if Obama would not have approved the mission. As much as it must drive Republicans crazy, even they are admitting that President Obama has been successful.

If republicans only cared for our country enough not to try and tear it down. Goldwater and Eisenhower both would turn over in their graves if they could see what became of the "Grand Old Party" since they passed on.

I agree Jim, I've never followed politics very closely, but from everything I've read and heard, it seems that the republican party has changed a lot over the years, and not for the better. Even some within the party are disheartened by this.

And the same can be said about the Democrat party. Lots of changes and mostly for the worse.

Really? I named two very prominent Republicans who by their statements while alive point to my statement being accurate, Eisenhower on his speech regarding being wooed into a trap by the military trap of excesses and abandonment of social responsibility , and Goldwater's statement about the republicans allowing religion to enter politics in any form. Now, your assignment is to find me two prominent Democrats who you feel would bolster your rebuttal.
 
BTW Falcon why after 6 or so years why did Bush let Osama Bin Laden get away when he was told exactly where he was (at Tora Bora) by accurate intelligence? Why did it take another President, President Obama, to wipe this scourge from the earth? It matters not what the President does he will not get credit from the hard rightwing, unless they somehow twist events to make it look like a mistake then they won't let up.

We have one of the worst examples of lousy Democrat governments running right now. They refuse to sit down and work with any Republicans at all. They have driven our government debt from about 7.5 trillion all the way up to over 18 trillion debt beginning with Pelosi and Reid during Bush's last two years. Our present government, under Obama still has not explained how he intends to pay off all this unnecessary debt or why we even have it. Plenty of problems with our current Democrat party. One being we should not be run by either party and should be run by our Congress as it should be. Lots for the blind to see if they just open their eyes. Being rid of the current leadership and still being Democrat driven means we will be on the way to some recovery at least.

These are your and your fellow rightwingers positions and I reject it all. I posted two REPUBLICANS positions and I asked that you find to Democrats quotes that bolster your position that the republican party is as it always was but Democrats are not as they were historically. YOU FAILED! No more of your lip flapping, it's over.
 
I'm just glad to see that this mission was a success, and all our troops returned unharmed. I see no need to engage in petty partisan politics over something like this...rather we should be honoring those who risk their lives on such a dangerous mission, and thank the military who were able to plan and execute this successfully.

I celebrate this with you, but I will not allow to go unchallenged any comment bringing anything but praise for the President's courage and the brave men who carried out this mission.
 
The men who carried it out were the ones with courage. It doesn't take courage to sit behind a desk.

Don't dilute the courage of these BRAVE men who ACTUALLY carried out the mission.

Have you any idea of the fodder for the right wing canon would have been created has this mission failed in a country entered without permission to kill these people? I submit it took courage to do what was right and damn the criticism had it failed. As to the men who carried out the mission obviously they were indeed brave and deserve all the accolades no doubt awaiting them.

One, I am not a right winger as you claim. Two, there is not need to quote any one or two Democrats to support my comments. It is in the news all the time and no simple quotes need to be used at all. There have been a number of Democrats that have posted their disappointment in the way things have been going. It is more important that the general news shows the US to be in ever deepening trouble under our current government. That I why I suggest that after the next election we will have the opportunity of returning to our regular, Constitutional, type of government. And that even includes Hillary Clinton should she win the election.

Once again your personal blabbering. You failed in the challenge, the facts let you down. No more on this with you as it's clear you are not familiar with the subject at hand. Have a nice day.

I have not failed at all. Only you and your OPINION is that I have not responded to your notes. I have and consider your claims to be as false as your support of our current government is. Well known that we in the US are in some big problems now, financial and otherwise. When did all this begin? When the Democrats took over the Congress in Bush's last two years and forever increasing with our current government. That number of 18 trillion debt is something that our future members of the US will have to take care of. Not something nice for a Democrat government to have done to our younger folks at all. Anyone really know where those trillions of new debt were for? I don't think the current government really knows or cares.

Why are you bringing this up? We're discussing a mission that succeeded, NOT Failed !

MAN! You'll do anything to promote an argument.

I believe it was YOU who wanted to promote an argument by insinuating that the President only sat behind a desk and none of the credit of the mission should go to him... to which I call BS.. HE made the decision.. and as Jim pointed out, if it had failed he certainly would have been held accountable and blamed... It suceeded... so.. heck.. all he did was sit behind a desk...
 
Poor old Jimmy Carter found out what happens when the mission to rescue the hostages in Iran failed...

So which is it? Is the President responsible when a mission he orders fails? Or is he not. Apparently he is.. However, if he is a Democratic president, he is NOT given credit for a mission he orders when it is a success.

Then again a Republican president gets credit either way. But see here the difference is obvious... Bush ACTUALLY went out there an flew a fighter plane.. Wait... NO?
