Pakistan Expands Cooperation With U.S. Military

[slgrieb]

Never was a fan of either but just to point one thing out. Ol' Big Ears isn't pulling the trigger or doing intel work so I'll still pin the congratulations on the shoulders of the CIA and the Troops.

The guys on the front line ultimately rely on support from the top. Intel is a long term effort, and there isn't any doubt that leads developed during Wubbya's administration contributed to the success of the effort to get Osama. That doesn't change the fact that the Bush administration failed to adequately focus on killing Bin Laden, and pissed away huge amounts of resources waging a pointless war in Iraq.

Debate all you want, but at the end of the day, Bush didn't kill Osama. As Maxwell Smart might say, "Missed it by this much!" I attribute that to the fact that Obama has been more aggressive and effective in his use of military force than Wubbya. As a disclaimer, just let me say I don't support some of his military actions, but nobody is going to call him a wuss.

Edit: After reviewing my post, I think that I would like to substitute the word "intelligent" for "aggressive". Though there is no doubt that his policy of drone strikes against Al Qaeda and the Haqqani Network has killed many U.S. enemies. The Haqqnis in particular have been responsible for many suicide bombings using children as bombers.
