Obama has ordered American troops back into Anbar Province. I can't think of a single foreign policy decision that this guy has been right about.

So you were in favor of letting bin Laden be after they located him?

You're calling the killing of Bin Laden a foreign policy decsions? Seems like a tactical military decision to me. If by killing Bin Laden Obama thought it would destroy AQ, then he was sadly mistaken.

The assigned mission of that ship had been accomplished. What would have been your preference? No acknowledgement of mission or "Mission Failed"?

Are you saying that it's standard practice when a U.S. ship come back to port to put a big Mission Accomplished banner up?

Who ever said it was standard practice. I would think it was a "special" occasion because the President came aboard. It has been explained a thousand time what the banner was about. You don't think they do "special" things when any President, including Obama, shows up?

Actually it is pretty standard to hang banners and stuff when coming back from a cruise. They usually do it during the Tiger Cruise.

That's great. I know the history of the banner in question, just asking him a probing question which I don't blame him for taking a pass on.
