Several close attempts, but there was no evidence collected by the Bush administration connected with the compound that Osama was hiding in. Bush was searching in the mountains of Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan.
I never said that Obama gets 100% credit for the whole operation. In fact, I give Bush credit for providing at least a strategical advantage. Obama, however, collected the evidence that led him to the exact spot.
But to say that Bush started the operation and therefore receives all the credit is silly. And suddenly you can, by this reasoning, say that Bush put us in this financial position too. Now we're getting somewhere.
