Bin Laden is DEAD, thread from Hell

[MichIndy]

Heard the brilliant pinhead who still amazingly has a job, Geraldo Rivera say it twice last night live on Fox. Was as entertaining listening to those mishaps as it was to see the constant title banner read -- USAMA Bin laden killed.
It is as mind-bogglingly dumb as the constant bender they went a few years back of the HOMICIDE bombers in the Middle East, instead of calling a woman or anyone else who steps onto a bus strapped with a bomb a SUICIDE bomber.
Gotta love FOX. It is an idiocy that they wrap their arms around with their whole misguided heart.

R.I.P.
OBL
5/1/11​

US Navy SEAL Team

I thought Delta Force or the Rangers would get him, but I it would be a SEAL team. Well done shipmates.

He died of rectal warts, but Obama will claim that he killed him with a predator drone.

No, haven't you heard? Obama himself went to Pakistan and shot him hisself. Don'tcha just love Mr President?

This will turn out to be a circus. Obama will take credit for what an SF Team accomplished even though he did not have the balls to call the shots. The moderates and libs will hate Obama for it, but he will win them back with his jokes of trump. This is just another part of the obama deception, dont pay attention to this, pay attention to what obama is doing while this news is being covered, which is pretty much more of the same shit we all disagree with.

Are you saying our military went in without final approval by the CinC?

 

[Cuyo]

When are you going to realize that we don't hate people just because we disagree on politics?

When you stipulate that your "We" disregards 75% of this board.

 

[VaYank5150]

Obama had nothing to do with it. The problem is he will ride this pony as long as he can because he needs something to run on. Thanks to the US Military, he now has it. He's lived off other people his entire life. Other people do the dirty work and he takes all the credit.

Oh, so now Obama is NOT the Commander in Chief? If you guys keep moving the goal posts on every issue, you will end up losing it, you know....

So you disagree with a recovering economy, a reformed healthcare system, a strong and remodeled GM, lower unemployment, a stock market at a three year high, the U.S. leaving Iraq, and the death of Bin Laden?

Well, yeah...if it means they have to stop blaming Obama for everything wrong in the world.

 

[Sallow]

Seems that not only has President Obama mended fences with the intelligence community, he's actually developed a very good relationship with it. He's got perhaps the best rapport with the CIA since George HW Bush. Finding and eliminating Osama Bin Laden was a fine piece of cloak and dagger work. That's in addition to killing more "high value" targets then the previous administration.

If anything..this was an intel masterpiece..and well done!

 

[blastoff]

I despise Obama beyond belief but kudos to him and the many people involved over the years that brought this about. Barry's sitting in the Big Chair so he gets a lot of the credit, as would any other president.

As for '12, lots of other issues will be talked about much more during the campaigns IMO.

 

[bodecea]

Wow... I feel like I am on some idiotic emotional roller coaster

Why the Hell do we care if he is burried according to "Islamic tradition"???

If we are going to go and claim that "Good Muslims" would never do such a terrible thing as Sept 11th 2001, then why the **** do we give him a burial according to "Islamic tradition"?

Too many damn questions for me to be comfortable with.

Congrats PC police Now all the "bad muslims" will love us again...... is that why we do such stupid things???? Maybe so..... I freeking tired now!

Yeah, its such a great celebration for our military and nation as a whole.

But God damned if you-know-who just can't let this moment happen without injecting some left wing, Muslim-sensitivity bullshit come into play.

Maybe I'm wrong....but when US prisons execute someone, do we make all accomodations to treat their corpses with regard to their religion? Do Muslim US prisoners in civilian jails who recieve the death penalty also get their bodies washed by Muslim men and buried at sea....as Osama did? I think not.

But, most sheriffs dont give a shit about Sharia Law. The US president does, as he has now shown us.

Actually we usually take steps to make sure we don't create martyrs/ rallying points. We did the same with the Nazis executed after Nurumberg and the Japanese war criminals....anyone know where THEY are buried? (You won't)

 

[bodecea]

Well well.... the plot thickens

From ABC news:

Prior to bin Laden's burial, a senior administration official told ABC News, "We are ensuring [the body] is handled in accordance with Islamic practice and tradition. It's something we take seriously and therefore it's being handled in an appropriate manner.‬"

Under Islamic tradition, the body is to be washed by Muslim men and buried as soon as possible, usually by the next prayer -- Muslims pray five times a day -- although there may be delays under certain circumstances. The body is usually buried in a simple white sheet, whether buried in the ground or at sea.


So, I guess now we are abiding by parts of Islamic Law. Making concessions to follow Islamic Law on behalf of the worst living scumbag on the planet. My problem is.....why would peaceful Muslims give a shit how a man who tarnished their religion was buried? Muslims would only give a shit how he was buried if they sympathized with him. Hmmm. Now, they're also reporting that 5 combatants were killed at the house, but ONLY Bin Laden's body was removed and buried, the other 4 left to rot.

Had I been one of the S.E.A.L.'s I would have had everyone take turns pissing on the body. It is odd that they haven't put pictures of the body all over the TV and internet like they did with the Hussein boys.

Are you kidding? That film exists....trust me. Just you and I won't see it.

The "peace prize" Obama has turned into a regular killing machine.

You sound sad about the "loss" of OBL. Were you close?

 

[California Girl]

Agreed. It was not an assassination. Bin Laden declared war on the U.S. and led the campaign to kill thousands of Americans. We finally got him.

And note that assassination is a political act. Taking out Bin Laden is not political; it is a national security action.

An assassination is "to murder (a usually prominent person) by a sudden and/or secret attack, often for political reasons."[1][2] An additional definition is "the act of deliberately killing someone especially a public figure, usually for hire or for political reasons."

Assassinations may be prompted by religious, ideological, political, or military motives. Additionally, assassins may be prompted by financial gain, revenge for perceived grievances, a desire to acquire fame or notoriety (that is, a psychological need to garner personal public recognition), a wish to form some kind of "relationship" with the public figure, a wish or at least willingness to be killed or commit suicide in the attack.

I would define assassination as a deliberate execution of a person regardless if he was threatening anyone to prompt the his killing.

Spin it however you want. He declared war, we brought it to him.

I call it an act of war. If you want to make it political, do so. Perhaps you can find an ACLU attorney to sue the U.S.

I call it payback.

 

[ClosedCaption]

I agree. Obama is surgical with these operations. Bush would have bombed the entire neighborhood then would have chalked up the all the carnage to "hey, I was protecting America"

How does eliminating the world's #1 terrorist not advance peace?

see, this is where you guys go off track. there are a lot of muslims in the world. a lot of them live here and are productive members of the U.S. citizenry. and while it matters not a whit to us when or how the buzzards get to OBL's body, it matters a lot to some people who have no bone to pick with us. (no pun intended). It's not "PC" to not poke people with a stick for no reason. Besides, they didn't want his body anyplace long enough for any location to become a "shrine". It shouldn't bug you. It's this kind of thing that the president is much better at than his predecessor was. It shouldn't be any skin off of your nose.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

I thought this was about the Intel gathered from detainees at Gitmo that helped us nail Osama; you know, the same detainees that Holder and Obama wanted to Mirandize and bring to US Criminal Court if they had their way.

BETTER!!!!!!!

There's no chance o'......

....The DICK; Cheney "cherry-picking".

 

[bodecea]

I believe most of it.
I have a very uneasy feeling that his remains were treated with Muslism/Islam burial traditions.

Why would that make you uneasy? To not have given him a Muslim service would again "prove" we were out to get Islam, when the truth is we were just out to get a terrorist.

Burying his body at sea was exactly the right thing to do. Why provide a relic to create a martyr's tomb?

Exactly the treatment the Nazi/Japanese war criminals executed got. This is not a new thing.

 

[rightwinger]

It was a great work of intelligence and the Presidents instincts not to go for the quick fix bombing proved correct.

Many of the specifics will not be known for years, we may never know who was in the actual raid, but it is an accomplishment that will go down in history. I congratulate all that were involved

 

[bodecea]

All we did by killing Bin Laden was create more terrorists. Well done.

Ah, well....I kind of knew you wouldn't be happy at us getting him. You post just confirms it.
