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:

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 6:47pmObama, 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.

Posted on April 30, 2012 at 4:18amAfter 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.

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 6:30pmMan, 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?

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 8:18pmWell I actually saw a picture (benefit of being deployed at the right time, to the right place, with the right clearance). I can assure you he’s dead. It was clearly him, and to be honest, the pics I saw weren’t THAT gory.. I guess I may be desensitized, but I wasn’t too worried about it.
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.

Posted on May 10, 2012 at 9:50amBy 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?

Then when Romney got back after his “missionary work” in France his draft number was “too high” and didn’t go to Vietnam.

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 4:33pmUmm, call me a weirdo but I assumed Bin Laden was dead a few years ago…probably from something like cancer, wasting away in his hell-hole cave! So in my ‘creative’ crazy mind…the President did nada – he‘s getting points for the only positive thing he’s accomplished since being the potus….!

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 6:54pmNo 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
Report Post »•The coal industry
•The oil and natural gas industry
•The healthcare sector
•Job creation
•Economic growth
•Small businesses

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 8:26pm1. 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.

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 4:32pmthat quote is good but Romney flip flops to often you don’t know who or what he is which is why hes a bad candidate, we need someone who doesn’t change their positions in a second or so.

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 4:30pmOblamer was worried about his Campaigning and watching SportsCenter a year ago today. Anyone with anything resembling a functioning brain inside a cranium would make the same decision.

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 4:16pmI realize that it’s almost impossible for the liberals to come up with some kind of talking point for Obama, but this is really a new low. Desperation at it‘s finest and I’m not impressed, where are the jobs, less regulations that are killing me and everyone else. Where is the plan to get out of this mess, give me a break this is just silly child’s play.

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 4:28pmIt is the ONLY thing he has got — how sad is that… and btw … it was SEAL TEAM 6 and not you Obama who took him out. How about we talk about the drone that Obama asked for back >>> nicely and they are now copying … he failed to act on that along with all the other things he has failed at .. includng turning down help on the Gulf oil spill and making it MUCH worse. LOSER!
This little twit can’t even give credit where it is due.

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 4:35pmObama’s entire primise for this attack is off. It’s the republicans who had our muslim enemies on the defensive and it was Obama who refused to admit that they were terrorists. This is nothing more than going on the offensive. He has to do that, because if he has to go on the defensive, he can’t do it.

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 4:38pmCAT: Interesting that , as a typical Lefty, Obama hates the military . Remember the ” General Be-Tray-Us ” insulting title they gave Petraeus ? Typical Lefty sentiment. Ironically, it was the military which proved this mess of an administration with their only real bragging right ! Life is full of irony. Can NOT imagine how hard it must be to stomach sharing a salute with this sad excuse for a Commander-in-Chief….

Posted on April 30, 2012 at 2:36pmI don’t think they are “desperate”, look at an election map, obama is set to win it by and landslide, and he hasn’t even spent a fraction of his massive war chest. Plus. nobody likes mitt, he isn’t a conservative, and conservatives know it. This race is over.

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 4:15pmWhy wouldn’t Romney order the Raid on Osama, his Porn Collection, his 3 wives, and 15 or so kids and grand kids? The Pentagon was sitting on Osama for years…..
Guess what? Tomorrow also marks the three year anniversary of no budget for the US Government. Would Romney be so bold as to help us spend less than a trillion a year than we take in? How many times will we the Chimps in Congress unanimously vote against the Oblamer Non Budget?

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 4:28pm@BadDoggy – the fact that Clinton is talking up Obama’s role in the matter shows UBL was taken down soley for political reasons, I imagine they knew where he was for some time. 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.
This could be one of the lefts attempts to cover up and divert the growing madness of Obama that becomes manifest more and more daily.
