Bin Laden is DEAD, thread from Hell

[ClosedCaption]

Wait,

Bush kept us safe but Obama didn't do shit?

 

[TheBrain]

Congratulations to not only Obama, and not only Americans, but to all peace loving Earthlings that Osama Bin Laden is dead. It took longer than one would have hoped for, but in the end we got the bastard, good riddance.

Oh, and any one foolish enough to believe that Bush and Obama BOTH weren't doing everything in their powers to get this guy is a lunatic. PERIOD, getting Obama had nothing to do with what ******* letter was behind someone's name on a ballot.

Some of you are losers of the first degree. Certainly everyone on this board knows exactly whom I'm referring to. So those who I am not , please don't take offense.

 

[slukasiewski]

It took years to capture and kill this OBL dude. Something that could never have been done overnight.
Congrats to GW Bush for building the foundation and launching the plan that made this happen.

 

[del]

Useless and small minded? Like Obama taking credit for 10 years of US policy that he opposed?

yup. you and obama are like two peas in a pod.

enjoy!

So you're saying I'm presidential material?

no, i'm saying your a piece of shit.

try to keep up, bubbeleh

 

[Dr.Drock]

I wouldn't say he pals around with them, just gives them millions of US taxpayer dollars.

See Libya.

 

[Trajan]

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!

so what you're saying is the cia is not a professional outfit that does its job outside political horse-crap that happens every decade or so??

 

[TheBrain]

I'm just glad the trophy is finally dead. I thought he had died in 2001....guess I was wrong. I was glad to see that Obama didn't politicize it for political gain in his speech last night. Personally, I thought it was a great speech from Obama in which he gave some credit to Bush and Pakistan. A thumbs up to the man from a conservative.

Agreed.

I will also add relevant to this thread that I have no problem with our government showing deference to Bin Laden's religious beliefs in the handling of his body. What good would doing otherwise do? Maybe his death can be a bridge of sorts if we handle it right, it's doubtful, but we have nothing to lose by trying.

U.S. team's mission was to kill bin Laden, not capture

WASHINGTON | Mon May 2, 2011 8:46am EDT

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. special forces team that hunted down Osama bin Laden was under orders to kill the al Qaeda mastermind, not capture him, a U.S. national security official told Reuters.

"This was a kill operation," the official said, making clear there was no desire to try to capture bin Laden alive in Pakistan.

Isn't that against the Geneva Convention? Doesn't this make Obama a war criminal?

 

[Dr.Drock]

We had better see proof that he's dead.

It's a damned shame that you can't even trust your own President.


I wonder if Obama is gonna blame Bush for this one.

No it's a damn shame you can't trust the President of the United States of America.

He called President Bush before it was announced. President Bush and Vice President Cheney both congratulated President Obama. It's too bad Americans like you can't show as much class.

Questioning a bureacrat isn't "not showing class".

Every single word a prominent bureacrat from either party says should be questioned, rather than blindly believed and assumed to be a fact.

does that make you pitch a tent in your pants?

[Truthmatters]

Well it was a UN action unlike the war Bush started that let Osama get away by yanking most of the troops out of Afganistan.

Bush allowed America to be hit on her own soil with his leadership, He lied us into a war that got thousands of Americans killed and he crashed the world economy because he was unwilling to stop the growing sub prime fiasco because it kept his housing numbers up.


Obama ends the recession with his economic policy, kills OBL and we have not been hit on our own soil under his watch and this is how the right reacts.


You people are very very very confused

 

[bripat9643]

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"

George W. Bush really pissed off the CIA as well. The Valerie Plame thing infuriated them..and that was on the heels of the whole "aluminium tubing" debacle. They also don't like the limelight and putting George Tenet out in front of the media for the "Slam Dunk" verbiage was terrible.

Given the history of his father..it was really quite astonishing.

No, the Valerie Plame thing did not infuriate the CIA. Most patriotic members of the CIA despise Valerie Plame. She and her scumbag traitor husband abused their positions to pursue a political agenda. Good riddance to both of them.

Getting in front of the media was George Tenant's job.

Admit that you just made all this shit up. Libtards never have any facts to support their claims, so they invent some.

 

[Two Thumbs]

hmm,

This makes my paranoia kick in.

What do we give a **** about respecting this piece of shits funeral habits?

I think there should have been more confermation before we dumped him at see.

 

[TheBrain]

And stop rewriting history.

Last night on Fox, through a telephone call, that aide that whispered into G.W.Bush's ear a few minutes after the second plane hit the WTC, "America is under attack" and led to that infamous 6 minutes of a terror filled expression and stiff inactivity, said the US only got Bin Laden because of the framework that George Bush put into place.

That is not true. The US drew practically every soldier OUT of Afghanistan and went to Iraq. Bush said, "I don't think about Bin Laden. Truly, I'm not concerned about him". Take the man at his word. Don't make him out to be a liar.

Worse, on Morning Joe, Republicans said it was fortunate Obama followed Bush policy and decided to keep Guantanamo open. Clearly an attempt to rewrite history. Obama was going to close that prison that even our military's top advisors said was a rallying cry for our enemies, but Republicans ran a campaign of lies and deceit. They terrorized Americans by telling them that Obama was going to let terrorists go on "city streets" and into our "backyards". Hounding the American people with these lies, finally, public opinion was turned against Obama and he kept Gitmo open. It's sickening when right wingers try to deny they did this. It wasn't that long ago.

Obama campaigned that he would make getting Bin Laden a priority. He called Afghanistan the "good" war. He did exactly what he said he was do. He didn't veer off into another county. He didn't change his mind about Bin Laden. He didn't become friendly with terrorists. He certainly didn't follow the "Bush Policy" of "I don't think about him".

GOP, finally, you can stop saying, "Obama pals around with terrorists" and "Obama is a Muslim". You could have stopped all along. But I suspect you won't. Now, why you are trying to award this great achievement to George Bush? Someone who said he really wasn't concerned. Unless you think he was lying and he really was concerned.

This has got to be killing Republicans. First, seeing the Obama Birth Certificate. Then Obama getting Bin Laden. They want him to fail so bad and he's doing everything but.

Hey partisan moron, do you realize that your discounting the work Bush did towards getting Bin Laden is every bit as foolish as those who discount Obama's desire to fight Islamic terrorists?

You're an idiot.

 

[Ravi]

Are Al Qaeda leaders happy that so many Rightwing Americans hate Obama, the man who killed their leader? Are they happy to have American allies in their hatred? Are they happy that there are elements within the USA who are, like them, at war with the President?

Go away you ******* troll.

Osama Bin Laden Body Headed for Burial at Sea, Officials Say - The Note

I just saw confirmation that he has already been buried at sea.

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

Actually, he died from a Navy Seal's bullet in his forehead. And that's what Obama claimed. Do you people EVERY stop?

I heard it was in his eye.

I hope they wrapped him in bacon and chummed the area so sharks would know dinner was served.

 

[bripat9643]

guarantee that if it was Cheney-Bush (the correct order they should be listed in when it comes to all things military), the words "carpet-bomb" and "NOW" would be in the current conversation and the conversation that took place last August, sccording to what Obama said about the timeline leading to yesterday.
As soon as there was an iota of proof of a courier that was going to the compound or a tip from a Packistani about "the house over there" it would have been lights out with a night bombing raid with the only footage available being of the infra-red variety.
Surgical-strike is not exactly a word at the top of any list when it came to military action with Cheney.
The bitterness meter would have been so high, that genius duo would have wanted no trace of the town left, much less a positive ID on Bin Laden other than "just take my word for it, he was there".
Still want more proof, but there is no way this all went down without being checked over in about 100 different ways before this broke world-wide.

You might try arguing about things that actually happened rather than things that exist only in your bitter hate-filled fantasies.

I wouldn't say deference but it is simply common decency.

Americans are known for our decency.
