I heard this conversation on the radio yesterday; an interesting conversation.
Hit the link for the whole thing.
CALLER: Yeah. But one thing I would like to say if you'd permit me, is I really believe that this decision… I believe that President Obama's hand was forced in this, and this is really just a crass political decision. When I hear people say that this took courage, I just believe he was absolutely forced into doing this.
RUSH: Yeah, because somebody came and said, "We got Osama." So he's got to do something.
CALLER: Exactly.
RUSH: We've got Osama so we've got to do something.
CALLER: Correct.
RUSH: Right.
CALLER: If he wouldn't have acted I assure you the information would have been leaked prior to the election cycle.
RUSH: Yeah.
CALLER: And he would have had to have dealt with that, and frankly if that came to knowledge late in the election cycle, our next president would be either Hillary Clinton or whoever the Republicans nominated.
Right. There's no question that they had to get Osama when they knew where he was; the issue was whether to drop a bomb on him and incinerate the whole compound – and everyone in it – or do the commando mission. The President made the right, and riskier, decision.
