Subj: Letter by Ken Humphrey (Chairman Carteret County Democrat Party) “Obama Got It Done”

Sir / Ms,

It would seem that Mr. Ken Humphrey (Chairman Carteret County Democrat Party) wrote his letter to fast and did not check any facts in the case. His devotion to his messiah President Barack Hussein Obama shines through regardless of the facts. According to Mr. Ken Humphrey (Chairman Carteret County Democrat Party) President Barack Hussein Obama did the interrogation of the persons that had the information that started the search for the man called “the courier”, set up the mission plan, personally chose the men to take part in the operation, directed the raid training and may have done some of the field work all by himself. He, President Barack Hussein Obama, was not golfing, he was in Pakistan doing observation on Osama bin Laden’s hideout. All that is according to Mr. Ken Humphrey (Chairman Carteret County Democrat Party). The fact is the information that started the search along the path that lead to finding Osama bin Laden was gathered during the administration of President George W. Bush. The fact is that is was gathered using interrogation techniques that were condemned by Senator Barack Hussein Obama. So if we had followed his agenda we would not have gotten the information that eventually lead to the destruction of Osama bin Laden. The reports are we had the dwelling place of Osama bin Laden under observation for almost a year. The fact is that it was the CIA and other intelligence gathering agencies along with the US military that carried this out from start to finish. The fact is this started long before Barack Hussein Obama was elected to become the President and well before he took the oath of office. Did President Barack Hussein Obama do some things correctly? Yes. He gave the OK to carry out the raid. Good call on his part. Also he did not call the leadership of Pakistan to get permission for the raid or to even let them know it was going to be carried out. I am not saying that at least one of his advisors did not tell him he should call them and get permission for the raid, I am saying he didn’t do it. Good call there. I feel in my heart that had he done so, someone in the Pakistani would have gotten word to Osama bin Laden or his people and he would have been afforded the chance to escape. What else did President Barack Hussein Obama do that was correct? He allowed many of the operations and intelligence policies of President George W. Bush to remain in place. At this time I would like to point out that President Barack Hussein Obama’s Attorney General Erik Holder is trying to find ways to prosecute the very people that carried out the interrogations that got the information that lead to Osama bin Laden. What does he want to prosecute them for? The interrogations.

As for Mr. Ken Humphrey’s (Chairman Carteret County Democrat Party) comments that President George W. Bush started the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, I think he needs to check his recent history. The war with Iraq started when Saddam Hussein and the Iraq military invaded Kuwait on August 2, 1990. President George H. W. Bush formed a coalition on over 30 nations with the UN backing and drove Iraqi forces out of Kuwait. After the “active conflict” stopped there was a cease fire in place. There was no peace treaty or a treaty of any kind in place. Just a cease fire agreement. Saddam Hussein failed to live up to his part of the peace treaty. So the US under the administration of President George W. Bush along with several other nations re-engaged Iraq and drove Saddam Hussein out of power and into hiding. He was captured and tried in an Iraqi court where he was found guilty and later executed. So the United states didn’t start that war. As for the United States under the administration of President George W. Bush starting the war in Afghanistan, Mr. Ken Humphrey (Chairman Carteret County Democrat Party) you may want to recall an “incident” that took place on September 11, 2001. Do you remember the towers falling? Do you remember the attack on the Pentagon and seeing a large part of it in flames? Do you remember the fourth plan where the passengers took it back and it crashed in an open field, rather then into another building? That was al Qaeda under the direction of Osama bin Laden. Where was he? Can you say Afghanistan? The Taliban was in power in Afghanistan at that time. We told them who we wanted for the terrorist attack and why. We told they we knew where he was and even gave them his location. We asked them to turn him and his people over to the US. They said too bad and he was their guest. We went back to them and said we knew they had moved him and this time we were telling them to turn him over. Their reply was No and that they would stand with him. Only after working to do things in a diplomatic way did the US go into Afghanistan. President George W. Bush did not start either war. He also went to Congress and got their approval to take military action before going into Iraq or Afghanistan. Did President Barack Hussein Obama go to Congress or the UN before sending US military aircraft and personnel into Libya? He went to the UN. Why didn’t President Barack Hussein Obama seek the approval of Congress?
