    The prudent and correct thing was to wait until we could have arrested him, brought him back to this country, tried and executed him after we showed the world that we really believe in our own institutions and EVERYONE is innocent until proven guilty and their crimes are known to the whole world. All we've done with both these guys is create new martyrs for their movements who will go on killing our people long after they are dead and replaced by the next guy down the line. I am as gratified as anyone to know this guy is dead, but amidst all the celebration I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop and see what the ISIS terrorists escaped from the Kurds have in store as vengeance for all of us now.

    And Republican Bush's blue balls to invade a country that was as much an enemy of al-Qaeda as we were is the reason that bin Laden was not taken at Tora Bora a decade before.

    Oh so you are saying Obama screwed up and all his military advisers were wrong and ONLY Biden correct.

    What utter nonsense. The correct and prudent thing was to get while the getting was good and we did and he is dead. Had we listened to Biden the very likely would not be the case.

    He was not taken at Bora-Bora because of the Paki's.

    I'm just saying Bin Laden wasn't ISIS, ISIS came about because of Biden.

    That's who the right blames it on now. We had the ****er and Bush let him go, He himself admitted this and said he was no longer important.

    He was the one who talked Obama into leaving Iraq.

    It's not a blame it's a fact known for years but if you insist on pointing a finger at someone in the US it would be Gen. Tommy Franks.

    But no one from that administration is running for President. Biden is............ If you think Bush is blamed for UBL escaping into Pakistan, don't put him back in place as CnC. In the meantime keep Biden out of it.

    I won't pretend to speak for others here, but I haven't come across any PF members who are in support of Biden being the candidate. So, really, you are preaching to the choir.

    I think there are plenty who would vote for him in a heartbeat especially in the general.

    If he were the choice against Trump, absolutely. As for hoping he wins the nomination - he doesn't have much (if any) support from PFers.

    Biden is not part of the Bush Administration and never was. Trump would make OBL Secretary of State if he thought it would help him somehow.

    Because most of PF are either open or closet Trumpers. Biden isn't perfect but he can do one thing all the rest can't. He can win.

    When I saw the dramatized version in "Zero Dark Thirty" I thought, they had less reason to think OBL was where they attacked than W had to think Iraq had WMD. Such is luck in war.

    Exactly so why bring up UBL and Tora Bora your stupid statement notwithstanding.

    He never has in the past when he ran and his support is slipping.

    He did manage to keep a Senate seat for several terms and was a successful veep. He also wasn't running against radicals and an incipient dictator who has nothing going for him but a good economy and the weakness of all his other opponents. Biden will beat Trump like a red-headed stepchild in the debates and most of all he is a likable fellow against the most lead plated bastard I've ever seen even run for dogcatcher let alone be POTUS.

    In what ways was he successful? Getting his son a sweet gig with a Ukranian company?

    There's an old adage you should wrap your head around: "People vote with their wallets". If the economy is good, that'a all that matters to most voters...

    You're joking, right?

    Biden's exhibiting signs of dementia. He mumbles and stumbles when answering questions. If he gets into a debate with Trump, Trump will eviscerate him...

    I've been a fan of Joe's for a very long time - I wanted him to be the nominee in 2008. And I hope you're right, but I'm not convinced he can win this one.
