SEALs slam Obama for using them as 'ammunition' in bid to take credit for bin Laden killing during election campaignServing and former US Navy SEALs have slammed President Barack Obama for taking the credit for killing Osama bin Laden and accused him of using Special Forces operators as ‘ammunition’ for his re-election campaign. The SEALs spoke out to MailOnline after the Obama campaign released an ad entitled ‘One Chance’. In it President Bill Clinton is featured saying that Mr Obama took ‘the harder and the more honourable path’ in ordering that bin Laden be killed. The words ‘Which path would Mitt Romney have taken?’ are then displayed. Besides the ad, the White House is marking the first anniversary of the SEAL Team Six raid that killed bin Laden inside his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan with a series of briefings and an NBC interview in the Situation Room designed to highlight the ‘gutsy call’ made by the President. SEALs slam Obama********************************************** The dems were the first ones to scream to high heaven when Bush released a photo of himself on the phone during the 9/11 attacks. Now BO is trying to take credit away from the true hero's for taking down Osama. More self serving BS from the man who wants to be king.

The Commander in Chief can claim credit as much as any general or other CO that did not actually go on the raid.
No matter who you are, you're pretty dim if you publically badmouth your boss...

Had the SEAL mission failed, who do you think would be taking the blame ?
And everything is political, regardless if we like it or not.

Hey, it's the one thing (or one of very few things) he can hang his hat on... I got no problem with him taking some credit. As long as he give credit to the systems and policies put in place to make it all possible.
