Romney Campaign Responds to Allegation He May Not Have Ordered bin Laden Raid: ‘Divisive’ and ‘Sign of a Desperate Campaign’

Mitt Romney’s campaign fired back on Sunday to the insinuation that the presumptive nominee would not have ordered the raid resulting in the death of Usama bin Laden.

It began in a recent Obama campaign video where, after several minutes of Bill Clinton praising Obama’s inimitable courage in the matter, the question, “which path would Mitt Romney have taken?” flashed on the screen.

Watch the entire ad, below:

One of Romney‘s top advisers Ed Gillespie responded on NBC’s “Meet the Press,“ calling the allegation a ”divisive, partisan, political attack.”

“I think most Americans will see it as the sign of a desperate campaign,” he continued.

However, former White House press secretary and current Obama adviser Robert Gibbs maintains the ad is “fair game,” saying, “I don‘t think it’s clear that (Romney) would [have green-lit the mission].”

“Usama bin Laden no longer walks on this planet today because of that brave decision (by Obama) and the brave actions by the men and women in our military — and quite frankly Mitt Romney said it was a foolish thing to do a few years ago,” he continued.

“Maybe the comments he made a few years ago he admits are wrong, or he’s flip-flopped on yet another issue,” he said, highlighting one of the main worries among Republicans about Mitt Romney, that he is not firm in his convictions.

However, Gillespie maintains that he “can’t envision, having served in the White House, any president having been told ‘we have him, he’s here, you know, should we go in,’ saying, ‘no we shouldn’t.’”

John McCain even chimed in to say Obama is “shamelessly turning the one decision he got right into a pathetic political act of self-congratulation.”

Fox News covered the back-and-forth between the campaigns, and how it could impact voters:

    Obama, you Imperialist pig. How can you even think of hunting down someone in a foreign land and killing them? The left is wrought with imperialism. They kill babies, keep the sleazy rich rolling in dough, and steal from the poor under the guise of redistribution. Why are we sending almost $200 Million to Pakistan when we have millions out of work and starving in the USA? Amazing how the tables have turned.

      After years & years of Obama’s lies, I wonder why anyone hasn’t expressed the most obvious: Where is proof of bi Laden’s death? No body, All we really know is a very small group of people were involved, which actually tells us is there’s less evidence about his place of birth( Arizona law enforcement has insisted the birth certificate released by White House office is definitely altered.If he lies about his place of birth he‘d lie about someone’s death, wouldn’t he? Nobody has ever gotten a straight answer about that. And why would bin Laden’s body be thrown into sea? Am I the only man in the world who finds that absolutely absurd? From the many acts of unlawful, unethical, and terroristic. Vote Obama 2012, so we can move Lenin’s tomb to D.C.

      Man, you said a mouth full. I never really cared wheather he was actully killed in the raid or some other way, just that he was dead.It always did trouble me that someone, who in their own book states that they are of the Muslim faith, because his father was, would kill one of his own leaders. All I have to work out now, is why he would send UAV’s to kill his Jihad brothers in their bunkers. I know they just sent up a trial ballon to see how well it would be recieved, saying that the war on terror is over but I never could reconcile how he would support terrorists like Pakistan and Palistine and still be able to kill other terrorrists. Can you give me your thoughts on that?

      Anyways, Yes, he’s dead. Yes, he was killed on the day they said he was killed. Yes, they dumped the body in the ocean. This isn’t a conspiracy, it was a huge victory for the Navy, military as a whole, and for the people of Afghanistan.

      By the end of his presidency, Bush was signaling clearly that he no longer gave much attention to the hunt for Bin Laden. Romney apparently agreed, saying he would not waste resources on it. Obama moved the hunt back to the front burner, and it was on his watch that Bin Laden was finally located and killed. I’m sure that, if either Bush or a hypothetical President Romney had gotten the same intel Obama got, they would have made the same decision. But given what we know of their priorities, would they have gotten it?

      Romney is a COWARD.
      When Romney was 19 he was a PRO-Vietnam demonstrator but when he got drafted he registered as a “religious minister’ with the help of the mormon church and got 3 deferments from the draft so he could run off to France to do “missionary work” for 3 years.
      If Romney loved the War so much he could have went in as a Military Chaplian but instead he ran like a little b*tch-a** COWARD.
      Then when Romney got back after his “missionary work” in France his draft number was “too high” and didn’t go to Vietnam.
      If Romney loved the War and his Country so much, when he got back from France he could have enlisted as a Chaplain and served both God and Country but he didn’t.
      Romney ran like a scared little girl.

      Don’t give up on Dr. Ron Paul yet.
      Ron Paul just won the States of Iowa, Minnesota, Washington, Alaska, Massachusetts, Louisiana and picked up 200 new delegates. So now Pauls Delegate count as of 4/30/10 is 391 + 200 = 591.
      There are still 14 more state GOP primaries to go with most of them being Ron Paul states like TX, Cali., WV, NC, KT, etc.

      The REAL Delegate counts… as of 4/10/12
      Romney= 601
      Paul= 391
      Santorum= 197
      Gingrich= 77

      When Santorum officially drops out of the race the delegate count will look like this…
      Romney= 661
      Paul=518
      Gingrich= 87

      In 1920 Harding went to the GOP convention with the lest amount of delegates and walked out with the GOP nomination.
      Dr. Ron Paul is in it to win it.

    The Treasure Trove (Commie Media Snipet) of intel. that was retrieved from the Osama Bin Laden compound consisted of a massive porn collection, two black and white tv’s, a beta max, and two Commodore 64 computer’s. Yeah Osama was the most dangerous man in the world, uhh right?

Go talk to Oblamer about lack of respect, Boss, he is the one that is making this a divisive Campaign Slogan!. Take it up with your Boss, LBRYD26, not Me.

      Yeah Osama was the most dangerous man in the world, uhh right? – I don’t know anyway of taking your statement as anything other than disagreeable sarcasm and the way you painted the post was that Osama was just a bitter old man, hold up in his compound, watching porn and playing video games was very misleading. I was pointing out the rest of the story. That Osama was a very dangerous man and taking him out was the right thing to do.

      What reports do you have that are more credible than ABC or the CIA. I agree that they are both not very reliable but if Osama was killed as just about everyone agrees he was then they seem pretty credible sources, so far.

      Obama is my boss? Man, you really have to work on your sarcasm. I’ll let all my posts, from the past, to now, on that egotistical, self loving, eletist, socialist stand for themselves. If you had done some homework before you said this, you would have found that as far as Obama goes, we are VERY MUCH on the same page and that little swipe wouldn’t have been needed.

      Good Post! Just saying that I think the lack of respect falls on Obama for turning this into a campaign slogan, and his messengers, his base. Are saying that he, Oblamer has taken down the most powerful and dangerous man in the world. I tend to think that the CIA and Pakistan were aware of where Osama was for several years, or the entire time he was holed up there in that compound.

      If Osama was so Dangerous, then all of his wives wouldn’t have been sent back to Saudi Arabia to live free. It turns out that Osama and his family are treated with more respect than our troops, so I don’t have a lot of respect for Osama dead or alive.

      Thanks for clarifying.
      I wonder why you relate, weather Obama, I mean Osama wasn’t dangerous, just because they took his wife in. Did you know that they have a reptriation “school” for terrorists that they have caught. Here’s a short summary of what that is about. Promise us that you won’t do it anymore and after you get done coloring in your Mohammed coloring book you can go! I kid you not! That is it’s entire corriculum. It is a very short process and at the end they have to promise not to do it again and they are released. Kinda like Obama’s policy on illegal aliens.
      Of course, many of them have to repeat this school many times as they get caught often, so Saudi Arabia is no enemy to evil terrorrists, or their wives.

They have lied like rugs ever since Mr. Teleprompter promised to unite the country in 2008. Done the complete opposite. And remember all of that “ hope and change ” stuff he spouted ? That wasn’t a Big Lie. That was a “deception.“ He meant that ” redistribution” stuff. The average voter though he meant ” change to a bi-partisan , more racially – united America.” Ho Ho. Remember the ” police acting stupidly ?“ Remember the ” Americans clinging to their guns and Bibles ?”

      No you’re not weird MADENNZ, osama has been dead for years (since Dec 2001) & obama rose him up from the dead to try & make himself look good.

      Its really pathetic to see tham believing their own lie and using it to demonize his opponent to whether Romney would or wouldn‘t give the hard working SEAL team a simple ’go-ahead’ to kill a terror suspect. WOW…now that’s balls of steel to tell a SEAL team yes or no. Gimmee a break Barry.

      The SEALs killed someone in that raid, but it wasn’t Osama bin Laden/Tim Osmond as the CIA had named him.

      I really can’t believe this many people believe this trash coming from the Obama bin Lyin regime. About the only thing obama has killed is:

      •Our credit rating
      •The coal industry
      •The oil and natural gas industry
      •The healthcare sector
      •Job creation

      1. The SEALs involved in the raid didn’t all die. Last I heard, none of them are currently dead.
      2. The person we killed that day was UBL. It’s not a conspiracy. Someone I knew has a sample of his brain matter/blood in a bag. One of the benefits of working in the intelligence field for special operations.

      Seriously, why do you doubt the gov’t so much? I saw the pictures, it was obviously him. And we didn’t kill his damn wife, she was literally playing dead.

I dont think it is Obama who is growing desperate; it is his allies and cronies, as Obama is a insane sociopathic, narcissist capable of doing anything between him and absolute power.
