I don't really have a single issue to bring up in regards to the death of Osama Bin Laden. I do, however, have three specific observations about some of the issues that have risen in the wake of this man's death that I think are worth posting. First on the issue of credit for the kill. Credit goes where credit is due. George W. Bush deserves some credit for this. He does not deserve credit for capturing and killing Bin Laden, but instead deserves credit for setting up the infrastructure that would act as the launching platform from which Obama would get the job done. It is wrong to say Bush had no hand in Bin Laden's capture. It is equally wrong to say that Bush was directly involved and deserves direct credit for the act. Bin Laden's trail had gone cold, and any information gained from specific acts of pursuit had become dead ends enough for the Bush administration to ramp back rhetoric on the importance of Bin Laden towards the end of his presidency. I do not see this...
