Selfless vs. Selfish; You decide...

President George W. Bush's speech after the capture of Saddam Hussein:
"The success of yesterday's mission is a tribute to our men and women now serving in Iraq . The operation was based on the superb work of intelligence analysts who found the dictator's footprints in a vast country. The operation was carried out with skill and precision by a brave fighting force. Our servicemen and women and our coalition allies have faced many dangers in the hunt for members of the fallen regime, and in their effort to bring hope and freedom to the Iraqi people. Their work continues, and so do the risks. Today, on behalf of the nation, I thank the members of our Armed Forces and I congratulate them!"



Obama's speech after the killing of Bin Laden:
"And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the Director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of Bin Laden the top priority of our war against AL Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network. Then, last August, I was briefed on a possible lead to Bin Laden. It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground. I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located Bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan . And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and I authorized an operation to get Osama Bin Laden and bring him to justice. Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad ,Pakistan ."


Obama did not once acknowledge our brave men and women who fight for our country.

Here is the Obama acknowledgment to the nation...
US President Barack Obama
"Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama Bin Laden, the leader of AL-Qaeda, and a terrorist who's responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women and children. US President Barack Obama confirms the death of Osama Bin Laden For over two decades, Bin Laden has been AL-Qaeda's leader and symbol, and has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends and allies. The death of Bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat AL-Qaeda. Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort. There's no doubt that AL-Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us. We must - and we will - remain vigilant at home and abroad. As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not - and never will be - at war with Islam."

Bush continues to congratulate the troops AND Obama for the killing of Osama.

US President George Bush
"Earlier this evening, President Obama called to inform me that American forces killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of the AL Qaeda network that attacked America on September 11, 2001. I congratulated him and the men and women of our military and intelligence communities who devoted their lives to this mission. They have our everlasting gratitude. This momentous achievement marks a victory for America, for people who seek peace around the world, and for all those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001. The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done."


Lastly, we never seen any campaign ad by President Bush taking credit for the capture of Saddam in his re-election run. That is selflessness, Not selfish, as I would describe Obama's handling of the Osama justice by death.
