Michele Bachmann Issues Statement on One-Year Anniversary of Osama bin Laden’s Death
"One year later, the President’s mission in the war-torn nation remains unclear. He apologizes for America’s actions, and we are left with no clear mission for our troops," Michele Bachmann says. "I call on President Obama to reaffirm that mission.”

Sixth District Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, issued the following statement on the one-year anniversary of the death of Osama bin Laden:
“One year ago today, a nearly 10-year mission ended with the assassination of Osama bin Laden. The world breathed a collective sigh of relief, and while we will never forget the devastation and grief caused by the attacks on September 11, there seemed to be a shared optimism that his death would bring closure in Afghanistan.
One year later, the President’s mission in the war-torn nation remains unclear. He apologizes for America’s actions, and we are left with no clear mission for our troops.
Our troops are one of America’s greatest resources. The men and women in uniform – and their loved ones -- step up and bravely make sacrifices to serve their country. We cannot let their sacrifices be in vain. We need to have an end goal; we need to remove politics from military decisions; and we must not let another American die for a cause undefined.
I remain proud and grateful for the President, the U.S. military and the intelligence community’s decisive action last year. Violent Islamic terrorists remain a threat going forward, and our mission must remain to provide a stable Afghanistan. I call on President Obama to reaffirm that mission.”

Her and Bush put the troops in Afghanistan now she says this? One crazy, crazy lady. The nut job sure thinks she has some pull. Like we care even a little what that she has to say. Why do you think she rose to the top and then sank twice as fast? it's called vetting and do you know what people saw after she was vetted? a nut job, pure and simple

I can't believe she sits on any committee with the word "intelligence" in it.
Where was her concern for an exit strategy, when she took office under her beloved President Bush?

Again! Just blanket condemnation of the President without any specifics. Even on an occasion celebrating a huge American victory that will go down in our history's lore for centuries to come. Bachmann is a self-serving, know nothing, who has nothing new to add to the public discourse on the future of this great country. We deserve much better representation than she can offer. She is simply not capable. He lines are rehearsed and simple like the mean girl cheerleader she is. Please vote her out of office.

I actually pretty much agree with what Bachman is "saying". She actually complimented the President. She wants to hold him accountable for getting troops out of Afganastan which I think is appropriate. Here's the Problem, I believe her to be insincere and hypocrytical. She is part of a party that LOVES War-they are pretending that they don't because they see the polls showing the American people don't like it. If the unthinkable happens and Romney is elected and actually follows through with his foreign policy, we'll be in a war with Iran-not a good situation. Bachman will be fully supportive of her war mongering party. I think Both parties constiuents should be supporting and demanding all of our leaders to be responsible with our troops-it doesn't matter what party you belong to.
Our current President is making what I believe to be better choices with regards to Foreign Policy.
