Bin Laden is DEAD, thread from Hell

[xotoxi]

Obama pals around with terrorists.

What exactly does "paling around with" mean?

I've never heard that term used unless it is in a sentence with "Obama" and "terrorists".

 

[BlindBoo]

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.

It's not like he was spouting off about some POS partisan legislation. For that yes I agree with questioning all bureacrats, not if he is telling the truth about the killing of bin Laden. Big difference. If it wasw Bush who got him congratulation would also be in order.

Obama and Intelligence in the same sentence?

Laughable...

Timeline: Osama bin Laden operation - CNN.com

* Four years ago: Officials uncovered the courier's identity.

* Two years ago: Investigators identified areas of Pakistan where the courier and his brother lived.

* August 2010: The residence of the courier and his brother was found in Abbottabad, 30 to 35 miles north of Islamabad, Pakistan's capital.

* September 2010: The CIA worked with President Barack Obama "on a set of assessments that led it to believe that in fact it was possible" bin Laden may be at the compound in Abbottabad.

* February 2011: U.S. officials concluded there was a "sound intelligence basis" for pursuing bin Laden at that location.

* March and April 2011. President Barack Obama held a series of National Security Council meetings "to develop courses of action to bring justice to Osama bin Laden." There were at least five NSC meetings -- March 14, March 29, April 12, April 19, and April 28.

* April 29, 2011. President Obama gave the final order to pursue the operation.

* May 2, 2011. After months of decision-making and planning, a U.S. military team conducted a small helicopter raid on the compound. The officials did not provide a breakdown of team members, but a senior U.S. defense official said U.S. Navy SEALs were involved in the operation.

Osama Bin Laden's dead, the body essentially hidden, but there may yet be DNA confirmation.

Regardless, I have to say we need to take a moment and remember what pain this man has caused us before we start slapping each other on the back and buying each other rounds of beers.

Congrats to Obama for letting our SEALS off the chain to take him out in the midst of our supposed allies, the Pakistanis.

I hope we get to hear more about these Soldiers who pulled this thing off. What a dangerous daring mission. These guys are national Heroes forever. I would like to hear more about them.

You won't; at least, not for many years. The personnel who carry out these missions, whether SF, OD-D, SEALs, CIA, or some combination, have to remain anonymous-that is the nature of covert operations. They won't mind-it's what they do. Some of the most heroic actions in defense of our nation are done by men whose names and faces will never be known to most Americans. Raise your glass to America's "Shadow Warriors", quiet professionals, every one.

It seems like in Washington DC every secret ultimately gets leaked.
It would surprise me if the identity of the Navy SEAL who actually shot Bin Laden remained secret for long. Do you think that this man will desire to spend the rest of his life known as "the man who shot bin Laden"? That sounds a lot like the honor of being the FBI Agent credited with killing the gangster John Dillinger by shooting him in the head.

If only for one day........

It's a great day for all America. After ten years of searching, Osama bin Laden has finally received justice. I have often thought about what this day would be like. I envisioned a day similar to post 9-11 when everyone was just American and political affiliations did not matter. It saddens me how quickly the political spin has started.

I think of the families of 9-11 victims as well as FDNY and NYPD. The people who worked in the Pentagon that day. These people have finally received their long deserved justice and we should spend the day celebrating the end of a tyrant rather than quibble over who gets the credit and who was really to blame.

Obama pals around with terrorists.

What exactly does "paling around with" mean?

I've never heard that term used unless it is in a sentence with "Obama" and "terrorists".

It means he was friends with Bill Ayers, a terrorist.

And the only reason you hear it in a sentence with "Obama" and "terrorists" is because Obama is one of the few people who willlingly was friends with a known terrorist.

 

[theHawk]

Agreed.

Good job by those Navy Seals, the CIA, and the Commander-in-Chief for giving the green light.

Sorry bout that,

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

You might want to try thinking before posting.

Whatever you may have against Obama, he is NOT the leader of a terror group and he IS the leader of this nation.

I'm glad that Osama bin Laden is dead. I agree with killing him. HOWEVER, the same people who bitched about waterboarding better realize that by the letter of the law, Obama is a war criminal for ordering the assassination of a foreign political leader.

 

[Angelhair]

And may he burn in hell. Thank you Navy Seals!!!

 

[Robert]

So if we all remember back to the Meme from the left a few years ago it seems today that creating "thousands" more terrorists is acceptable or has that been put on the back burner for the next political party? Just wonderin....

 

[Dr.Drock]

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.

Yeah the DNA tests are ongoing, seems like it would've been pretty easy to move his body to heavily guarded military post and been secret about where we took it.


Did we do this with Saddam? Any other prominent muslim terrorists?

 

[Jarhead]

Obama-
Gave the order. Made the right call. Put aside concerns about international backlash and did what the American People wanted AND needed. Kudos to the CiC. He deserves recognition and no one should be using this for political gain.

Buried at sea-
Smart move. Avoid the shrine.

Timing of body burial-
We are Americans. We are not savages. We should respect the religion of his survivors. THey had 24 hours to bury him.....why should we have waited?
I have no doubt tissue samples were taken for DNA testing when the conspracists arise.

Well done to all involved....from the Bush administration for opening up the search, all branches of the military for all realted operations, and the Obama administration for successfully closing the deal.

Pretty much as I see it? Enough said.

Notice he doesn't try to deny that Clinton was offered Bin Laden three times and each time said no?

Liberals never could take the truth!

Some lies are never put to rest

There's no explaining....

.....Porky Limbaugh's fans......

 

[dilloduck]

Being symbolically united for one day is a lovely sentiment-----being truly united for years would be effective. Politicians will never allow that to happen.
Americans love the immediate gratification and fail at the long term commitments.

 

[Wiseacre]

I'm grateful the bastard is finally dead. I'm also glad that Obama didn't ask for the cooperation of the Pakistanis, the UN, or apparently anybody else, which would have given the SOB advance warning and he woulda been gone. So yeah, credit Obama for not dicking it up, he did exactly what George W. Bush woulda done.

Osama bin Laden: Al-Qaeda will 'recover and retaliate' over killing of leader, experts say - The Daily Record

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Bush called the operation a “momentous achievement” that “marks a victory for America, for people who seek peace around the world, and for all those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001.”

“I congratulated him and the men and women of our military and intelligence communities who devoted their lives to this mission. They have our everlasting gratitude,” the former president said in a statement. “The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done.”

Now there is Class unlike the resident who occupy s the White House currently.....

Yeah.....sure......

Just a small correction. Since this insanity started on 9/11 we have lost 50,000 lives including the number so military that have died pursuing this policy. Based on the numbers I don't think we are winning.
