Flag-waving supporters left flowers and patriotic red, white and blue balloons outside the Dallas home of former President George W. Bush Monday in the hours that followed the U.S.-led mission that killed Osama bin Laden. “Thank you President Bush,” said a sign left on the gate outside the street leading to the secluded Bush residence. About a dozen people gathered near his security-tight residence until a thunderstorm rolled into the area early Monday. “George Bush did so many great things for our country. We really wanted to be with him to celebrate this momentous day in American history,” Billy Fox, a college student, told WFAA-TV. “We love America,” said Fox, who held a U.S. flag. “This hangs in my dorm room every day, it’s my roommate’s, and I said we had to bring it out to celebrate America.” Bush, who was home when he learned of bin Laden’s death late Sunday, released a statement congratulating President Barack Obama and praising the U.S. military personnel involved in the operation in northern Pakistan. Bush was in power on 9/11 when terrorists commandeered four commercial jets, crashing them in New York City, Washington D.C. and in Pennsylvania, killing nearly 3,000 people. The president in October 2001 sent U.S. forces on the offensive against al-Qaida and Taliban in Afghanistan. “This momentous achievement marks a victory for America, for people who seek peace around the world, and for all those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001,” said Bush, in a statement Sunday night, after Obama called to inform the nation’s 43rd president of the terrorist leader’s death. “The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done.” Bush spokesman David Sherzer said Monday that the ex-president does not plan any additional statement. A spokesperson for Bush’s father, the 41st president, George H.W. Bush of Houston, did not immediately return a call for comment Monday. The goal of getting bin Laden has been achieved, said U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. “That mission has now been accomplished through the patience and steadfast determination of our military, our intelligence officials, and the united leadership of Presidents Bush and Obama,” she said. “Now we must continue to dismantle this and other terrorist networks that attempt to destroy freedom and human rights throughout the world.” U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said justice has finally been served. “Let this serve as a grave reminder to all those who wish to do our nation harm: If you murder Americans, you will be hunted, you will be found and you will be brought to justice,” Cornyn said in a statement. “I commend the military and intelligence professionals whose tremendous efforts ended the reign of this terrorist mastermind.” Texas Attorney General Gregg Abbott says American justice will forever prevail. “The face of evil has been eradicated thanks to American forces’ dogged pursuit of justice,” said Abbott.

FUUCK, he's a GodaDamned Moron. 8D Like Just exaclt yhow did the FBI know to go to Venice Airport 3 hours after 9/11. Why did Bro Jeb go there on a C 130 to load up boxes of God Knows what? And just exactly why did we invade the Afghans and what are we doing there now. I expect no answers. Just more war until the US EMpire collapses. IDF jet in Iraq? That better not be true. We've got hours if it is...
You're thanking the guy who said about Osama "I don't know where he is. I have no idea and I really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." You become a bigger joke every single day, padlock.
“It turns my stomach to hear this assumption articulated that we have to, despite the fact that we are raking in the federal government $6 billion a day. - Half Governor Sarah Palin
Said a person who knew exactly where he was at. I'm sorry but there's too many variables that don't make sense with this current scenario too. Including many of the usual statists praising it.

“The helicopter raid was riskier. It was more daring,” an official told POLITICO. “But he wanted proof. He didn’t want to just leave a pile of rubble.” Officials knew there were 22 people living there, and Obama wanted to be sure not to kill civilians unnecessarily. So he ordered officials to come up with an air-assault plan. Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0511/54093_Page2.html#ixzz1LDB4csZg "Thats because your basically and idiot." If not for the Bush era policies, we wouldn't have got bin Laden yesterday, dumbass.
I hear you knockin...go back where you been....
God bless Prez Bush2. He wasn't perfect- and he really pissed me off when he couldn't see thru that liberal, Rove... BUT he did do some good things, and at least he acted like a real man, when we were threatened. America needs some more real men- and not these girlie men democrats. Thanks President Bush. <3 ya~
Yeah, thanks for sitting on your ass while 3000 Americans were murdered on US soil on your watch. And thanks for starting two trillion dollar wars to bankrupt the country. You will be remembered, George.
"I don't know where he is. I have no idea and I really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." - George W. Bush
He did lower taxes.
The Republican budget goes after children and the poor. Courage would be going after defense and the rich. Bill Maher
Bush invaded a country because as a NeoCon puppet, he was required to forfill the NEoCon fiction that Iraq needed invasion to do what was the job of the Iraqi people; to remove the irritating but no threat leader named Sadam Hussien. Bush allowed Bin Laden to run amok free for nine and a half years because the little boy had the wrong adult role models.
And what a brilliant policy that was Boofer!!!! Leaving Bin Laden alone so he could build that house and live there for years believing that he and his family were "safe"!!! Yep...just gotta hand it to Boy Blunder and his Merry Rovin' Band of Neocons...what brilliant startergerists they are!!!
America...My Kind Of Place...
America...My Kind Of Place... George W. Bush, March 2002
"Thats because your basically and idiot." Mike, wasn't President Bush like 15 feet tall and serving a 132 year term as President?? Why stop at 9 1/2 years? :)
Oh he deserves something like a 132 year term, but that would be a prison sentence, and for his role in the false flag ops at the World Trade Center and Washington, D.C. on 9-11-'01.
If he can't be found, that was a very prudent thing to say. You don't want to give OBL any more standing than necessary.
Now, I know I’m not going to change the minds of any of the True Believers…those who read all of Reverend Al’s sermons, and say things like, “You know, global warming can mean warmer OR colder, wetter OR drier, cloudier OR sunnier, windier OR calmer, …”. Can I get an ‘amen’??
Really? What was his motivation for that?
The Project for a New American Century, a NeoCon entity clearly said that unless there was another event like the one at Pearl Harbor to change the climate politically, it would take many decades to create the public climate for their agenda of perpetual war and a huge increase in defense spending to pay for it. Read that groups report for yourself, it is very enlightening.
That makes no rational sense at all!!
PNAC's policy document, "Rebuilding America's Defences," openly advocated for total global military domination. Many PNAC members held highest-level positions in the George W. Bush administration. The Project was an initiative of the New Citizenship Project (501c3). [1] In 2009 two of PNAC's founders, William Kristol and Robert Kagan, began what some termed "PNAC 2.0," The Foreign Policy Initiative. Key positions Among the key conclusions of PNAC's defense strategy document (Rebuilding America's Defenses) were the following [3]: "Develop and deploy global missile defenses to defend the American homeland and American allies, and to provide a secure basis for U.S. power projection around the world." "Control the new 'international commons' of space and 'cyberspace,' and pave the way for the creation of a new military service--U.S. Space Forces--with the mission of space control." "Increase defense spending, adding $15 billion to $20 billion to total defense spending annually." "Exploit the 'revolution in military affairs' [transformation to high-tech, unmanned weaponry] to insure the long-term superiority of U.S. conventional forces." "Need to develop a new family of nuclear weapons designed to address new sets of military requirements" complaining that the U.S. has "virtually ceased development of safer and more effective nuclear weapons." "Facing up to the realities of multiple constabulary missions that will require a permanent allocation of U.S. forces." "America must defend its homeland" by "reconfiguring its nuclear force" and by missile defense systems that "counteract the effects of the proliferation of ballistic missiles and weapons of mass destruction." "Need for a larger U.S. security perimeter" and the U.S. "should seek to establish a network of 'deployment bases' or 'forward operating bases' to increase the reach of current and future forces," citing the need to move beyond Western Europe and Northeast Asia to increased permanent military presence in Southeast Asia and "other regions of East Asia." Necessary "to cope with the rise of China to great-power status." Redirecting the U.S. Air Force to move "toward a global first-strike force." End the Clinton administration's "devotion" to the Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty. "North Korea, Iran, Iraq, or similar states [should not be allowed] to undermine American leadership, intimidate American allies, or threaten the American homeland itself." "Main military missions" necessary to "preserve Pax Americana" and a "unipolar 21st century" are the following: "secure and expand zones of democratic peace, deter rise of new great-power competitor, defend key regions (Europe, East Asia, Middle East), and exploit transformation of war." According to the PNAC report, "The American peace has proven itself peaceful, stable, and durable. Yet no moment in international politics can be frozen in time: even a global Pax Americana will not preserve itself." To preserve this "American peace" through the 21st century, the PNAC report concludes that the global order "must have a secure foundation on unquestioned U.S. military preeminence." The report struck a prescient note when it observed that "the process of transformation is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event--like a new Pearl Harbor." Many of PNAC's conclusions and recommendations were reflected in the White House's National Security Strategy document of September 2002, which reflects the "peace through strength" credo that shapes PNAC strategic thinking. http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Project_for_the_New_American_Century Does this help?

The White House’s original plan had been to bomb the house, but Obama ultimately decided against that.

"Who knows if he's hiding in some cave or not. We haven't heard from him in a long time. The idea of focusing on one person really indicates to me people don't understand the scope of the mission. Terror is bigger than one person. He's just a person who's been marginalized.... I don't know where he is. I really just don't spend that much time on him, to be honest with you."

he Project for the New American Century (PNAC) was a neo-conservative think tank (1997 to 2006) that had strong ties to the American Enterprise Institute. PNAC's web site said it was "established in the spring of 1997" as "a non-profit, educational organization whose goal is to promote American global leadership."
