Does anyone remember this leftwing mantra?

No one was "murdered"; the U.S. Navy SEALs were dispatched to execute a criminal who happened to be outside the reach of law enforcement. Said criminal is now fish food. You don't like that? TOUGH! Mr. Bin Laden (the deceased) unilaterally declared war on America. This was America's response.

There having been no trial, no conviction and no sentence then it remains state-sponsored terrorism. Too late now for a trial. Under your conditions it would have been OK for Ho Chi Min to have sent a hit squad to eliminate Lyndon B. Johnson. Or, perhaps, for Adlolph Hitler to have sent in a team to eliminate FDR. Not that these might not have been good thing sin the greater scheme but if you accept the one you have accepted the others.


I don't think you know the meaning of the word 'terrorism'.

We went in for a specific target. We got him. We weren't blowing up shit indiscriminately to send a message to the Pakistani government or something...this was the work of a government via armed forces on a legitimate military target.
 
Bin Laden has never been a real issue - he was just a figurehead, and now he has martyr status. He just been replaced by the apparently highly intelligent and more aggressive number two man. Al qaeda got nowhere much after 9/11 because Bush went after al qaeda infrastructure, bank accounts, communications. And lefties were looking for their infamous "exit strategy" long before osama was bumped off.

"Just a figurehead" who planned 9/11. Nobody really. No one of note. No one we need to concern ourselves with.

Yea, right.

Four suicide bombers struck underground trains and a bus during peak rush hour. The attacks occurred on the same day the G8 summit was scheduled to begin in Scotland. Several groups, including the Abu-Hafs al-Masri Brigade and a group calling itself "The Secret Organization of Al Qaeda in Europe," have claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Do right wingers ever bother to go look stuff up? Seriously, is their world completely invented from whole cloth?

No, but your analysis of current events is apparently made up entirely of vapor; there is little real substance in it. To start with, killing Bin Laden, while satisfying retribution from our point of view, is NOT the end of the war he started on 9/11. While you and others were obsessing over that, Al Quaeda has formed a number of franchises, over which Bin Laden had no effective operational control for the past seven years or more. We now have the task of rooting out all of these franchises and affiliates, in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and elsewhere. Much to your dismay, I'm sure, the Iran franchise is pretty much defunct, thanks to the U.S. Military. That war you hated did have the consequence of concentrating some really bad characters in a place where we could meet them, and eliminate them over there, BEFORE having to deal with them over here; an ounce of prevention, and all that.

Now, as usual, the Left wants to leave the job half done, and cut and run from Afghanistan before we finish the job we are doing there! I hate to point this out (again), but if you people had let us finish the job in Vietnam, instead of abandoning the conflict and handing the North Vietnamese a victory they never won on the battlefield, groups like Al Quaeda would not have been encouraged to believe they could effectively wage asymmetric war against America. Thanks for providing them with the model for doing so, peaceniks! Tell me, other than the ideological kind, what the hell has the left shown us it knows about commitment-you know, that little thing about finishing a job you start? Just once, I'd like to see you in favor of this country finishing the military operations it starts, instead of bitching every time something can't be finished in a week, antiseptically, and with no casualties.You as a group, have, without a doubt, the most unrealistic view of warfare that I have ever seen. This ain't chess or tiddlywinks, it ain't cheap, it takes time and patience, and the sooner you stop being critics and start actually being doers for a change, the sooner we'll get it over with. How about, you stop looking for partisan advantage in everything, and start actually putting your country first, for a change?
Good plan ! Bring all of the troops home to rebuild your shitty infrastructure and stop all foreign aid-defense nonsense. If the ragheads all want to kill each other who cares? They'll trade oil for arms, no problem. If China wants Taiwan, let Taiwan deal with it. If Kim Jon 27.5 wants the south ? Let the south deal with it.
If Iran wants to nuke IsNtReal, sell them the bomb. It's just business.
 
That's because we got Bin Laden. After Republicans let him go and forgot about him. Guess you forgot too.

Bin Laden has never been a real issue - he was just a figurehead, and now he has martyr status. He just been replaced by the apparently highly intelligent and more aggressive number two man. Al qaeda got nowhere much after 9/11 because Bush went after al qaeda infrastructure, bank accounts, communications.

He's a martyr to you? Interesting but then again, not really..
 
I am having a hard time understanding why sending men, uninvited, into a non-combatant nation to murder someone is not considered "state sponsored terrorism". I should think that such a nation ought not be entitled to U.S. taxpayers dollars.

Now there's a heartfelt appeal for NO federal taxes!

No, they shot him in cold blood. If he had been a black guy in an american city, libs would be screeching like stuck pigs.

Sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your hypocrisy.
