This is the one biggest indisputable fact that no one seems to talk about, that proves that Obama gets ALL the credit for taking out Bin Laden. Bush stopped looking for him in 2005

viewed by Fox News executives, they might actually get pissed. I guess Fox knows they can tell their audience anything and most will just assume it's true. Sean, Rush, et al are not paid the big bucks to tell their truth...they are paid this money to make the lies sound plausible to keep these people voting against their best interests.

9. Hannity, in 2008, arguing against the idea of a raid to take out Bin Laden:

"Fox News' Sean Hannity and Karl Rove repeatedly attacked Obama's remarks, saying over and over that Obama said he would "invade" Pakistan. Hannity called Obama's statement "frightening" and Rove said it was indicative of "the inexperience that he has." Hannity even claimed Obama's Pakistan policy could "potentially create a theocracy with nuclear weapons."

---

Hannity claimed that Obama has stated his "willingness to invade an ally against their will," referring to Pakistan. However, as Media Matters for America repeatedly noted, Obama never said he would "invade Pakistan." Rather, Obama stated in an August 1 speech: "If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will."
