"Shame on Barack Obama for diminishing the memory of September 11th and
the killing of Osama bin Laden by turning it into a cheap political
attack ad. This is the same President who once criticized Hillary
Clinton for invoking bin Laden 'to score political points.'
"This
is the same President who said, after bin Laden was dead, that we
shouldn't 'spike the ball' after the touchdown. And now Barack Obama is
not only trying to score political points by invoking Osama bin Laden,
he is doing a shameless end-zone dance to help himself get reelected.
"No
one disputes that the President deserves credit for ordering the raid,
but to politicize it in this way is the height of hypocrisy.
"The
Obama campaign asks whether Mitt Romney would have made that decision.
Of course they want to focus on this one tactical decision because the
other decisions this President has made have harmed our national
security.
"He turned his back on the people of Iran when they rose
up to end their tyrannical, terrorist-supporting, Holocaust-denying
government, giving them no assistance as they were crushed in the
streets.
"He has repeatedly thrown our ally Israel under the bus and jeopardized our shared security interests.
"He
tried to bring Khaled Sheikh Muhammed, the mastermind of 9/11, and
other Al-Qaeda terrorists into the middle of New York City to stand
trial in a civilian court.
"He disregarded the advice of his
military commanders and pulled all of our troops out of Iraq, and
Al-Qaeda is making a comeback there as a result.
"He disregarded
the advice of his military commanders again by telling our enemies that
we are leaving Afghanistan and then putting our mission and our troops
at risk by short-changing our commanders on the ground.
"He
watches passively while the Assad regime in Syria, Iran's closest ally,
kills thousands of its own people in an unfair fight, and his response
to this mass atrocity is to create an 'Atrocities Prevention Board.'
"With
a record like that on national security, it is no wonder why President
Obama is shamelessly turning the one decision he got right into a
pathetic political act of self-congratulation."
