When the mission is actually accomplished, which president does FOX News post on its home page to discuss the death of Osama bin Laden? None other than the guy who “took our eyes off the ball,” (to quote the president of the non-teabag portions of the country) but George “Let’s Invade Iraq Because Al Qaeda Attacked Us” Bush.
Look for FOX to start finding reasons to simultaneously condemn Pres. Obama’s decisions and/or the carrying out thereof while ginning up conspiracy and cover-up theories about the dispatching of bin Laden’s body.

It’s not “the wrong picture”. He’s pictured because he’s quoted. But no one really expects the fringe element to understand how quotes, and pictures work.
Pastafarian – We understand how right-wing spin, propaganda and lies work all too well.
Oh good. Well as long as you’re on top of it.
And, of course, we did not say it was “the wrong picture,” as you claimed. We said they showed a photo of the “wrong president.” Bush’s official position on OBL was apathy:
“And, of course, we did not say it was “the wrong picture,” as you claimed.”
“MEMO TO FOX NEWS: Your running a PHOTO WITH THE WRONG president to Bin Laden Story.”
I didn’t write that YOU did. Maybe you should talk to your headline writer.
Thanks for confirming that tea baggers can’t read any better than they can spell. YOU said, “It’s not ‘the wrong picture’. He’s pictured because he’s quoted.” But we never claimed that Fox ran “the wrong picture” — that they ran a photo of Bush with a story about Obama.
The point of the post, of course, is that Fox was caught trying to rewrite the history of the capture of bin Laden to give credit to Bush, rather than Obama, despite the fact that just six months after bin laden blew up the WTC and the Pentagon, Bush claimed not to care about bin Laden’s whereabouts. He even later disbanded the bin Laden unit at the CIA — around the same time that bin Laden was building his compound in Pakistan. Your nitpicking is a silly attempt to deflect attention from the fact that Fox was caught in the act of lying again.
You made a mistake — and as a member of the party that routinely demands that others take personal responsibility for their errors, you should own up to it.
I checked this a week ago and that poster outed you, Jon and you censored him/her. What gives, I thought you were a for free speech? Is it free speech when you agree only?
That was a nihilist troll who has been banned. No apologies for censoring it. Speaking of apologies…?
