When Bush was at a press conference and asked where Bin Laden is and his response was " I dont know where he is, i dont care where he is" Thats a Idiotic statement.
I dont know if the SEALs on the team are liberals and i wasn't implying that. Conservatives and Republican's have said over the decades Liberals are soft when it comes to using military might and are soft on terrorism, I think the evidence and the facts of recent events have clearly shown thats just not accurate.

I don't want to deviate this thread but I have a problem with how you are portraying that quote from President Bush. I've been hearing that quote brought up a lot on liberal talk radio, to try and make the case that UBLs end was the work of only Obama's team.
Frankly, him stating that he didn't know where UBL was and that it wasn't priority number one due to the fact that at that point he had escaped and could have been in any number of arabic nations while we were already in the middle of 2 wars, is not the same as saying he did not care.
He recognized that at that point things were much more escalated than just a one man manhunt. Simply not being priority number one while your trying to nation build does not mean that no one was working on it, obviously.
The Video of Bush's Q&A backs up what I said here, not your opinion.

Furthermore, I don't think that one instance of "liberals not being soft on terrorism" constitutes a trend. IMHO, Obama scored a touchdown by taking out UBL but then he missed the extra point by holding on to the pictures that belong to the American people for sensitivity reasons. That is not being hard on terrorism, that is pandering to enemy.
