Kudos to President Obama for giving the "green light" to go get Usama. However, I wish the administration would just quit blabbing about what a tough decision it was, including all the angst and anxiety they had as the mission was unfolding. It makes us look weak.
I prefer a president like the outlaw Josey Wales, after you kill the guy, you spit tobacco juice on his forehead and the only words you say is " Buzzards got to eat, same as worms." Then you go about your business and get the next bad guy. I don't recall seeing Josey Wales on 60 Minutes emoting about how tough it "was to shoot them fellas."
It also isn't a very bright idea to tell the world how we tracked UBL down, all the training we did, how we carried out the mission. When Peyton Manning goes 25-31, picks the other side's defense apart, he doesn't hold a post game interview to tell everybody how he did it.
I don't want to see a picture of the entire cabinet looking at a TV screen of the mission. I want the bad guys to think this is no big deal, this is so easy and routine for us that the President ordered the mission between bites of a ham sandwich and never gave it a second thought. I want all the bad guys to be on edge, thinking they're next, Navy Seals are going to come down their chimney like Santa Claus and that we are a "bad ass" country that can take them out in a nano-second.
I'm supporting Josey Wales for President in 2012.
