Yeah.... Bush carpetbombed an entire rugged mountainous region, destroying many of the caves in which the Taliban were hiding, but not destroying the one cave containing OBL, and that's a screwup. But when BHO authorizes a SEAL team to kill him after he has been living in a large house 1/4 mile from Pakistan's military college on the outskirts of Islamabad, when everybody in the neighborhood seemingly knew who it was who lived there, and when he has lived in that house for a year or more of BHO's presidency, in the open, and that's a focused president. OBL would have had to pee on his leg to get his attention if he were any less focused.

Or the CIA safe house in the same neighborhood, some say next door.

There will always be those who create terror and inflict pain. Luckily we have a focused president currently at the helm.

Point of order. The order to seek out and capture Osama Bin Laden dead or alive, was put in place under W. The power to move was authorized on a division level. All Obama had to do was stay out of the way. IOW, all he had to do was NOT interfere. The mechanism and standing order were already in place but he had the power to rescind it. With that, I was pleasantly surprised that he DIDN'T interfere.
