Americans will probably never know the actual events that took place before or after the Navy Seals completed their Osama Bin Laden mission. Our Navy Seals say that Osama was placed to rest at sea, but we'll never know the man that was truly the decision maker in this mission.
Never the less, Obama received a winning hand that has boosted his approval rating 11 to 12 points just because he stepped forward and claimed responsibility for Osama's demise. Did he deserve this claim to fame, probably not?
All who have observed Obama since the beginning of 2008 know without a doubt that he didn't approve of this mission and that is what makes this story is so intriguing. The person or persons in charge of this mission didn't need Obama's approval. But, obviously some of his Administration knew that Obama had just been handed a winning poker hand and they showed him how to play it.
Looking back at his campaign speeches in 2008, it's easy to understand that he absolutely didn't agree with Bush, Cheney or Americans about our stance on terrorism or the methods of interrogation.
In fact his anti - Iraq war position the first part of the 2008 campaign must be credited for his early popularity. Towards the end of the 2008 campaign, the "flip flop" man took another stance in attempt to secure voters by saying two of his priorities were, (1) Beefing up the war in Afghanistan against terrorists, and (2) The nuclear problems with Iran.
