Bin Laden is DEAD, thread from Hell

[tigerbob]

Why did they bury him at sea? Why not have a trial against humanity or bury him here?

If we give him a trial we give him a stage, create a global rallying point for his supporters, and create months of tension. The result (conviction and execution) would never be accepted as "justice" by his supporters so what possible benefit would come from it?

In burying him at sea, you negate the potential for creating a site of "martyrdom" at his burial place.

Correct decision was made. Kill him, throw him overboard and have done with it.

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?

Obama killed Osama? Really? Shit. I heard it was US SpecOps. ******* media lying again.




Idiot.

And those same people and other "government employees" kept us safe for the time under W's two terms that the right tries to give W credit for. I wonder why they don't apply that same standard to the current CiC??
Typical right wing hypocrisy, that's why.
When W was CiC they gave him credit for everything but now that democrat is in charge they refuse to give obama credit and choose to only credit the soldiers under his command.

Or did you forget those claims about how W kept us safe for 8 years??

except the whole 911 thing that happened on his watch

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

Actually invading and occupying an oil rich Arab nation that had nothing to do with 9-11 created more terrorist.

Now killing and turning him into crab food might trigger a response by his faithful followers, (which will be killed or captured too). But increase their ranks significantly (like the Iraq invasion and occuaption did)? I doubt it.

FactCheck.org: Did Bill Clinton pass up a chance to kill Osama bin Laden?

Q: Did Bill Clinton pass up a chance to kill Osama bin Laden?
Was Bill Clinton offered bin Laden on "a silver platter"? Did he refuse? Was there cause at the time?
A: Probably not, and it would not have mattered anyway as there was no evidence at the time that bin Laden had committed any crimes against American citizens.

Garbage. Bin Laden had been a head in Al Queda and Al Queda was behind the first WTC attack in 1993.

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??

You really haven't been paying attention.

The CIA could give a damn about politics.

 

[Truthmatters]

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.

Fruedian slip

 

[uscitizen]

Well since we are being "clear" and all. This probably means the second term is a lock.

Do you really believe that? If so you are a bigger retard than I already think you are.

This is a temporary blip. In two months no one will mention Osama. But they will be paying $5 for a gallon of gasoline and 2 for milk.
At this point George HW Bush's re-election looked like a lock too.

don't buy milk? It has been around 2.39/gal here for quite a while.

 

[MarcATL]

Bin Laden's death will not save Obama's presidency.

-$5/gal gasoline
-9.6% unemployment
-national debt taking us towards implosion

Change is coming.

Perhaps, but not damn near the "change" YOU and your ilk expect.

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.

where they bury him is insignificant, frankly how would take him? Well maybe hezollah or hamas but really?


His body will never surface and obama is smart to do it this way, no monument to bring the faithful jihadists to pray at and use as a rallying point.

 

[teapartysamurai]

Remember Clinton was given this opportunity three times and each time said no.

So, now we know . . . . .









It takes 3,0000 American lives for a Democrat president to finally say yes to getting someone like Bin Laden.

you're a real piece of work

No, it just occured to me after someone said that the only thing Obama did was say yes to going after Bin Laden (as in he didn't deserve any credit).

It occured to me, "Hey! At LEAST he DID say yes. Clinton said no three times!"

I'm giving credit where credit is due!

 

[BlindBoo]

Just want to get a pulse on the immediate aftermath of what you guys think.

Finally....."MISSION ACCOMPLISHED"!!!!

Your fascist punk boy hussein obama gets NO credit in my book.

 

[tigerbob]

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

Possibly. But nobody said this was going to be easy. Still the right decision.

 

[dilloduck]

Hey, how is that whole "Barack HUSSEIN Obama is a terrorist sympathizer" meme working for you and your conservative pals right about now?

I dunno. How is that "The U.S has been guilty of arrogance in invading others" and a Nobel Peace prize working for you? I wonder if the Nobel Committee is having second thoughts.

Finally eliminating the #1 terrorist in the world, doesn't classify as advancing peace in your book????

maybe until the next Obama approved drone blows the hell out of civilians.

Come on folks--Bin laden was killed while Obama was president. Let's not try to stretch his accomplishment any further than that.

 

[mudwhistle]

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.

If everything checks out I'll take time to thank him for getting rid one more oxygen thief on ths planet.

let me know if that's not clear enough

 

[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

Me get it now, TM.
Obama good.
Bush bad.

Pretty much how the vast majority of people in the world feel.

There are those in this country who seemed to love the failures of GWB for some reason

does that make you pitch a tent in your pants?

loser

{In a section of the order labeled "Restrictions on Intelligence Activities," Ford outlawed political assassination: Section 5(g), entitled "Prohibition on Assassination," states: "No employee of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, political assassination."

Since 1976, every U.S. president has upheld Ford's prohibition on assassinations. In 1978 President Carter issued an executive order with the chief purpose of reshaping the intelligence structure. In Section 2-305 of that order, Carter reaffirmed the U.S. prohibition on assassination.}

Is Obama a war criminal?

This is FAR more clear than waterboarding, so isn't Obama a war criminal?

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.

It doesn't change the FACT that the Hussein was friends with Bill Ayers a terrorist.
Nor will it change speculation that Obama could of been Muslim at one point. Personally I think he is an atheist.

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

Osama was the leader of a terror group, not the leader of a country.

You might want to try thinking before posting.

 

[MarcATL]

Wait,

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

Hahahahahaha!!!

Yeah...right?

It wasn't the military or our armed forces then...it was "Bush kept us safe!!"

Many of those DUMB Palookas are STILL repeating that swill...recently.

"Bush kept us safe!"

What claptrap!!
