Huffington Sides With Romney - Did Hell Just Freeze Over?

You know a year ago. That continue to. Log that we get at 9/11. On Americans were killed thousands of Americans killed 3000. We all know what happened on the god did some -- -- We saw what went right to administration said it and again. We got a last year. Two teams sex. And we're gonna talk about the Secret Service later as an issue in card and you. But the biggest party in group in the free world is tilted to -- part off duty performance but they are also from the only cable guys. The -- in sex with with a massive intelligence operation. Killed -- on the line. It took nine years. About. To find them fix them and kill. It took. Two administrations. The bush administration. And the Obama installation. Took intelligence of its patents this -- special operations professionals. All that time should've taken its time. But we did. The two from to me. Optimistic that it's it's at eight political thing that happened. We killed a man who issued a died along time ago that has -- that was being protective Douglas on the -- At a place called a bottle -- Pakistan. Which is the West Point Pakistan. The bet that -- -- -- we found them we kill. President. And I -- the time as the summit laden gave the word go it went. Congratulated the military maybe seals. Test for us was sixty helicopter pilots. It was a is a picture -- operation helicopter. To mission and was. Now. A year later. We got the Democrats. And -- -- India. Obama administration. Using this to get Obama elected. To the point where -- take out of context the statement that Mitt Romney said. Spending money one guy would -- me has since corrected it and adding that action -- And hole and ended politicizing. In my opinion. Something that apolitical -- date equity intelligence primarily intelligence. Operation to find. An -- very precise. Tactical operation by Navy -- Period. Nice job congratulations. We should feel very very good about the military. That regrettable penalties that it companies and almost. 29 years eight months that. No lot of guys who can sex. And a lot of guys Jones business and this took a long time and -- to get it right. It took let me let me I've got two big goose eggs and I think is -- -- had that much zero. Bravery -- a box of any political office president on down. To say go all this nonsense about all the pressure on the president -- -- the pressure is on. Police helicopter pilot and the first guy from six minutes of TC IA who touched on the compound Obama ads with the courage was it. -- zero courage to make decisions. What's nice wouldn't wouldn't when they met when the poll doesn't tell us to do something. They also have us to blame like it did with. A lot of rates on tape raids to. But did all this nonsense about -- political bravery and the risk to the president scrap. An end and it the longer they play this card. I think the worst is gonna get a Georgia had Dave on valley -- we think George. George. -- -- -- -- -- -- Where is George most of which are Jorge you're back. I vehicle -- I'm. This will be polite mixture sometimes cell phones in cars under bridges successor. We did the right thing. We we've we but it took a concerted effort. On all professionals. Not political appointees. In the bush administration. And the Obama's -- this is more about -- GS 1514. Staff sergeant level guys. Who kept at it. These about the intelligence guys who found the career. Obama out -- bin Laden's courier and follow him. And the people took the safe house in about a -- and the people do that to -- With with the seals. Who the pick people flew the helicopter the practice missions all of that's the this is about. Not about reelect president. It's it's just the and and we've got a bullseye now we've got Democrats tried to credit shelled a strength of the president. At the same time saying Romney would have done at its absolute nonsense. Absolute nonsense. It's a non political event using an and you got liberals -- -- area and actually coming forward saying twisting here. There's much now about this commercial that President Clinton has done for the Obama campaign and the Romney reactions saying that they should not be. You -- this the way they are would -- I agree completely athlete -- -- I believe -- that there Romney campaign. That using the some being allowed them. -- Assassination. -- inning to -- great news that we had a year ago. He nodded to say basically that that Bob my -- and Romney might not have done it which is that that's what I don't think I should be and how about that I think it's one thing to. Celebrate the fact that they did such a great job. It's one thing to have an NBC's back channel. From the situation room what's that going to have this week -- -- -- -- which interviews everybody on the anniversary in this situation -- which is -- press event that are about to me is perfectly legitimate. But attended that come pay Matthews -- the most despicable things you can do it's the same thing that genetic given date with the city AM call. That's Arianna Huffington runs off into politics has been able to -- a raging. Raging that how -- How -- -- all and it's hot in here and designs. That is the that is supported -- type of -- giving an accident. -- -- Perfect she called this to -- at I think it's a huge mistake politically. It's politics. -- justice doesn't feel good bite -- at the time a year ago it was I think it was appropriate. Reports of pictures out. There was some awards given to the military guys we did not show the pictures -- of the seals which you shouldn't or the pilots of test was what sixteen which we shouldn't. The details operation were known as seen and shot on NBC until the -- will be. Com. That's it. But it. People were attached to the work I've heard people say things stupid as that was a brave golf shot. What we're what a brave call you we take that word and of the brave decision by the -- no. You know much input you -- size of the White House staff. Over 15100 -- size of the Pentagon's 26000. Plots. -- -- people -- and working this operation but tell that to this -- gets broken states it's time looted exacted. Analyze compared. Contrast to break -- pretty simple. -- -- That there's may be may be a political calculation would be unfortunate happens -- lot. But that's it isn't about being brave. Yeah to have a second -- you say we've got a lot -- And we can get a good to have second dot you don't belong in the office. That should be -- this. Republic union not to ask me if finally -- kill. That. -- -- That's the order. To executive order tech reporter. -- president that. Thought thought when you find a lot and the -- and -- -- -- -- it will probably. Written by adult was put -- his job a lot exclamation. George -- back on the table and finally guard George. They have an echo it stops -- percent say yes. They they made about a -- areas. It didn't it a lot I get credit or is set yet -- the credit and yeah that's it. After that it's it's all executions they had to execute. They did it Shalala deeply and I love that point are there any child that in the water ocean perfect no problem there either. Give that is ala burial is senate on its way out. But but there's going to be a movie coming out a kind of Obama and president Hollywood release movie. Two weeks before election November it's -- showcase the whole thing. -- -- Scripted and it's basically that need Obama commercials in the situation room watching it cameras from the dog's perspective and -- sitting here it cabinet members and it. Immune system that elected and that is respectable. I got a big mistake Georgia. Yet and I George thank you -- magical back I I am. I have no doubt -- that did try to do that lead to the degree blog obviously what's what's happening. Guy yeah -- -- -- -- can get them the way while they limit for -- says stop. Five -- says colonel Bob -- your bigger live at the bit. Eight this is thinking problem like this stock thank god what. The I can't read I want. To -- seven thank you thank you thank you were showing up your show blows. This is the easy I -- -- but they just blows. Interest and we backed left elections to stick with them are. Professional intelligence operatives potential -- profession. It's intelligence professionals. To at least nine years. Actual entry craft. Special operations guys -- -- these two teams six just loved ones sixty and CIA guys on the plane and -- lesser teams. Explosive expert centers -- -- You know you don't appropriate today or be appropriate if FF. The military asked. If you had some kind of ceremony and it it was quiet. Down at fort drag tabs are down at them in Virginia with -- or at Fort Campbell that the task forces. That's okay. You know that's okay. They would like they -- to be around as did his -- out and things. But when you when you make wouldn't it make any worldwide. Press deal. I tell him. It's wrong it doesn't feel right. And I think it awarding its roster on the Dave on comic Margaret -- Colonel first of all agree with you but the Paris was what the men who executed the mission. Question. All the president do was say yes and then it was but men executed mission. You know the president ran an anti war platform. -- basically you know once he became the president said the getting intelligence briefings. He realized that the Smart thing to do was to communities. The policies of the bush administration. And -- forget that. Now the Democratic Party as far as I'm concerned then in kernel you know -- and I spoke about this before and I'm veteran if you are. Let's face that the Democratic Party has been a launching pad for the anti war movement. Since 1962. What's safe for the last 44 year. And -- the my office. Our country goes weaker on defense. And then we pray price or later and I'm sick and tired of -- and the Democrats should keep the shot. When it comes as defense in this country because they're extremely weak. I'd like that and I think that for me I am I think that. Both parties and I -- the Republican Party went to claim but for me there's been issues on both -- This -- to what's happening with this thing. Is -- any given to accredited professionals who did it we've made a political event entrance onto transport runs. An upcoming election I think it's futuristic things you call and his service. Somebody's asked me if I heard from the college trustee and has no. I don't know which talked about but it's. To a seven want to make sure I know that -- I Love -- She's. Donald go to Dave on -- car. -- -- -- one -- -- that's but I had two points here number one and I think is true that the administration. And and I noticed it more this administration the last. But -- entirely putting too much Intel stop point page and I knew that the power belongs. And most of the Intel people do not want the publicity it's nice to you know given an award and appropriate manner with appropriate dignity. But celebrating. The guys get the action good adept is another question. You know I I did go back -- -- -- -- -- -- fighting and that and -- -- -- we weren't there and never got purple you know got -- attention -- got. And now now that this guy Obama wants to make this a purely political. Stand so. But in the elected is just the disgrace. -- I think is completely wrong it'd. I think is -- American Donald. And I just hope that the American people. Are intelligent enough this it was going on. I think ally is going to went on to enough bite. By Republicans and by fox in my -- like here and and Limbaugh and others so I think it's a I think it's -- and I think they miscalculated. Trying to say is just the right and again it's just too much. Opening up the when did the romantic of the stick to the needy areas like. That's inconsequential runaway ego but it's not necessary at its show and tell them but you don't don't show Intel and Intel's stuff you do shown dole with some other -- I agree I agree and thank god thanks for the call went on -- -- predicament as we got a few days before the week and hey yeah Obama's problems campaigns hammering it Romney. On the same issue from a call he made five years ago. That the that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee would not have that the guts to approve it sounded like -- killing three. This is reportedly campaigns said that Romney said it's not worth moving heaven and -- spending billions of -- just saying to catch one person. But here's -- Romney also said that bin Laden when clarified that comment just a few days later he will die. Ever recorded on a new revelation Romney is back 2007. So -- not just Democrats that are using it to show that the president has got skills and foreign policy and he's courageous. There also used it took a -- Romney on the net which is a huge missed Romney's clarified -- mark. The guys who did this Letterman who did this intelligence professionals did this. Took them nine years the planet once once -- shields got the Christian it took as long as took to set up. Separate training sites that mocked like. Coordination with all things that go into a raid. From picking the right guy to practicing with guys getting to pinpoint. And practice and that's the hard -- That from the field operation. It's actually the rehearsals it's hard port. By the time they get to execution it's almost frequently. That there is gonna -- -- what attracts. The Intel guys had very very close. It was safe house and about a god. -- they they eliminate a lot of other possibilities. Don't believe they have had a 100%. Guarantee the -- was that picture actually been. So that. They made the call. -- the damage to be the operation. A year ago nice job where you what else we do. What's happened is you know if -- -- stake. It was -- We may Vietnam he's the centerpiece for his. -- run at the presidency and it got that crappy. -- Vietnam that he could be very very careful. Using the military. Politically. It. Eat it it doesn't work normally doesn't work. Bless all of you some real they're caught do you lobby hero so it was to bring it up that reduce our target myself or use -- as a basis of a campaign. He'll bite you and that's -- had its premiere of a push back this things start. It jagr on the day upon public -- by Jack. They certainly super. High -- This year you call. Secretary Gates. And director of the -- CIA Panetta bull pleaded with the administration not to politicize this afterward. We had that I did. -- particularly not really -- because gate. I've always really liked the guy. And I thought a very good job after actor Russell -- I want to ask you about that I mean don't people carry a lot of weight. And -- speaking directly from the intelligence community and the military that that's really your Libya betrayal it will look at the political what you don't want to what you thought about. That's a good point that we did ball Panetta. Who was. A former. Chief of staff but he's bounced from he went from -- don't -- -- -- it depends gates had a huge huge -- As a sector defense. I I I think they knew it was gonna become and they were trying to get up on that. I think they went up against the white house on this I think that they have strong political clout right I think at the time. I think once we had the the president go to Fort Campbell it died down I think what's happening now with people like you -- remembering. That things -- said about not doing this. And how it doesn't feel right to -- is not the point doesn't it feels yeah that's it feels you'll slide. The with the. The problem part of the problem might have -- is that and that is it went on television after the event. -- adapted the enhanced interrogation techniques were part of the pollution Lisa -- long term it was that. You'd -- figured but he didn't you didn't do it on national television and I think. All of that you're -- law. Conclude what happened if you look like with the field we lawful almost feel -- all -- guys that should knock. And you know if the the president you know spike in the ball I never thought they were not there afterwards it bothers me that it doesn't. That's driving and that's I mean if you if you when you start using things like military costs of -- serve. In dangerous positions. Are critically it swings both ways and absent right when it. When gold team lost all those guys that channel that rescue Rangers. Reiterating the White House when you can't. -- that you have it both ways if you live and die by this kind of these kind of programs and -- yeah Jack thanks -- well. And it ain't gonna watch it I think it's I think is playback. We we take a break through Wednesday. -- Okay what -- -- will -- it will stay this a bit and got to the that was. Or attack to date on Alec. -- 877. 469432287746943. Due to. I can just -- Texas all day but I won't. Jumped line 617. 77 and he wanted to. It. 61777934. To nine the fact is 6177792467. It's kind of nice money if you're doing. That I got a couple pushed back at least one -- -- -- Abu Ali I'm Dave on and filing by the way. As I was driving and listening to Howard. Pontificate. And with a cup but the things I wanted was thrown into the radio who put. He is it is my top. And a lot of you that but but it up and I'm gonna come stay with that bin Laden at an Obama thing. But I -- -- -- -- -- on this that one of the great sporting events of the world to Boston. Mean you know first of all doesn't go anywhere -- hotels. OK it's like that -- day of traffic if that probably not. And Tom it's a great event and be very proud that -- that almost sounds a -- intended to Boston support. That event having run it four times terribly -- -- I just gotta say now wait. Iraq -- it's a great event. And we just celebrated its its its its its extremely difficult to run. Didn't do well at a and I went to a seven times sucked -- it but it four times and who are -- anyone who does that if you're in New England. And you try to get ready for the Boston Marathon published ticket yet they're trained. December -- it's generate December January February march in terrible weather even -- that even this winter which is kind of that's the struggle it's not 26 point two miles. Young strong people can Bobby do it crippled themselves but the it's the training it's that that's what's and it's a great event it's well done. They had had put -- and John you're on a date on how we guard John. I do and I want to say how hypocritical. The odd Democratic Party is what they're double standard on this issue up they seem to have been all through the Bush Administration. You know. Saying how they're at it war and all this stuff but they have no problem picking up the banner now. You know they're they're basically just opportunist. John thanks that's it that's great -- I haven't used that the first super critical. Exact acknowledged that Iraq and why John do you think they do community don't need to try to get some grads. You know exact tag some meat on the lot. I -- and Obama. Exactly it will work to their agenda and you know anything they can do anything they can pull out of their pocket that's. That's what they're gonna do that's what they've proven that to do in the past it has nothing to do with principle. Yeah I RL for me job would you accept I think it's okay if it's mentioned in passing. If it's it's one of those things you tick off. And accomplishments in -- mean right you know we did -- dance at the white -- may save. GM okay fine between each other lines I'd say GM. And everything else but what they've done is they've gone overboard in the attack on Romney. Is ill advised admit it it it really small. I and I don't think it's hypocritical I -- yet. I have one other yeah at least one other thing please. They -- basically do. No problem you know being you know. Switching from their bread and butter which put their message before. And now you know switching to this but also you know even the Republicans. You know let's say -- -- considered the the military party and you know we're always. Trying to you know be aggressive and all this. Well we've ever going to have a sense of decorum with our accomplishment. And there is no decorum. With this. Okay let me get all of this doesn't pushed back stay with Lieberman John. When bush stood in front of the banner that said mission accomplished. Right TI think that was -- in the house unnecessary. I think him flying end in a plane with the flight -- Is to me was to me over the top -- need to do. He made these recognized they -- need for the flight to and that to meet with and at what they're doing here Democrats. That I felt about that didn't feel quite right but I. -- you -- I agree with both city. There's been a definite change in decorum in modern day all of. That I have I he would not Reagan would never done it. Right now -- and an end and in the eye candy would've done. Right you know I as an out shortly wished it to an iPad Al yeah I thanks John I tightly in fair and fairness. Easily get. We get the best people in the world doing this does work his intelligence work in his. Seal -- six guys and all the military guys army -- it was we will start the volunteers -- -- unbelievable when. Eight level. And how about it more and take care of them when their heart. But don't use it to me it's eight we using. The best of us for that for the basis of things which to me is politics. And at the base that -- base that's that's to be the lowest walk of life. Not too much. And lowered by the way that people being in the league office. Plot to take people who volunteer like these guys involved and we're done. And -- use them for political gain. Either party. You shocked when you do it that's would body doesn't. Steve Garwood Dave on -- growing think Steve. Yes sir. That they might call. You seem to be shared key issues identified is that that the liberal. Well. That accent ever did you do well wanna talk about comparison to Jimmy Carter's situation. It's seems to me either part took a lot of key. After that these debacle in the desert when it lookup justice and so in my -- failed. And that that was used for political reasons to point out his weakness and an actual in this in this situation. Now if Mike I Obama all of a sudden comes out some sort of I feel biopic registered -- election I think they are right we do that that's that's already. And should not do that. But on -- win Obama. Big decision to go away and I -- and I thought that the other side the conservatives are willing to get in the political credit say boy. He couldn't his whole election thing in presidency would have gone down at this thing and at what part it it's like dislike gauger. A comment. A couple of ideas about this I am which if you think back to the Carter days -- he was a very disliked president by the press. As of the reasons why cart was like that but it's liberal press and they'll talk about awaits to know Fox News right when garner was. -- they run rescue Fox News Roger Ailes was working for the Republican Party the president -- So that was that part of what you've found it was very big just like. In the press for for Carter it was reasons that. I was not a very charismatic guy -- -- we do it in a very tough presidency -- -- true I don't think I I think I think that. I think I can. Q do you think you made the right decision -- gulf port it's. I don't all of that I don't know the question the met him and there's no question you have to act which we've done earlier and it was and it was it was some big mistakes and planning. No I kind of a lot of people involved in operation along and we we learned from. And and from that. Mistake and all those great guys were killed when their helicopter picked up this installment. Cut through -- 130. We we you get a bottle but it last year that's how far. US government has gone into these operations bite and I think we've I think for me. Last year was enough for the victory for the president. Built it up at the president and this here all right I think we eat can do. Is -- a check off I say gee am I kill bin Laden. -- on the economy started general -- whatever I think when you my problem is it's feels like he's using it too much and beating. Well it is yep I agree that it is or as people aren't doing it too much. I imagine you would agree that there's a certain on the lot. And it's sort of operations. Question are thank god -- let it pops up. Now that honesty even if there is a huge amount and you lessen the lock with precision and the best guys you'd find that it's equipment that we did. Up and end. In the intelligence but I vote here okay thanks Steve thank you -- -- And the Democrats take any statement five years ago that Romney said. -- that a lot of bottle I lot of people were saying. If out of frustration. And Enron we corrected that this is about what it would spend all that might just get one guy later on he said that lunch -- And that's it and he did he -- he was asked about it. And he added. That remark so the Democrats are using it both sides. Give the president credit and using the seals. Using -- the -- the deadline and killing of bin Laden problem. Just by killing about one. As as. As as. Hey Al weapon. As a weapon it to -- don't Ronnie and I think if you missed -- on a date on -- -- -- And I do. Not bad at all to some disquiet in the court for the conservatives and Republicans can't. Look at black elections -- -- -- one of the reasons first ball conservatives. Are so happy with Joseph -- and independents -- George Bush. And -- Obama is they -- This round of Jerry but not on the -- -- Our independent stored at George Bush to blame for doing it all -- idea. More importantly. That based upon. Anti war base is not gonna sit back and looked at your proclaiming what got you got a spot and be happy. It's a bad gig. At the restart the -- because he hasn't worked on quote audible. -- the -- Afghanistan started or Libya was still. Still he's still -- renditions he's still out -- what he has kept all of the hard asked bush policies. Ugly. Well well well we're gonna continue with this in a moment it took it away with with these critical would be right back and -- on that car.
