Bin Laden is DEAD, thread from Hell

[Soggy in NOLA]

Rabbi, the point is over your head. The point is not whether or not Clinton had a shot at Bin Laden as being "correct information," the point is that it's useless and SMALL-minded shit to bring up, on a Victorious and Happy day like today.

I wonder if Obama will blame this on GWB, you know, like everything else that has happened on his watch?

 

[Mr. Shaman]

This was a culmination of 10 years of U.S. policy, begun by Pres Bush.

Yeah.....that's what happened.....

.......AFTER Bushco DROPPED-THE-BALL!!!!​

"For other observers, however, the real point was not that the new Administration dismissed the terrorist theat. On the contrary, Rice, Hadley and Cheney, says an official, "all got that it was important." The question is, How high a priority did terrorism get? Clarke says that dealing with al-Qaeda "was in the top tier of issues reviewed by the Bush Administration." But other topics got far more attention. The whole Bush national-security team was obsessed with setting up a national system of missile defense. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was absorbed by a long review of the military's force structure. Attorney General John Ashcroft had come into office as a dedicated crime buster. Rice was desperately trying to keep in line a national-security team—including Rumsfeld, Cheney and Secretary of State Colin Powell—whose members had wildly different agendas and styles. "Terrorism," says a former Clinton White House official, speaking of the new Administration, "wasn't on their plate of key issues." Al-Qaeda had not been a feature of the landscape when the Republicans left office in 1993. The Bush team, says an official, "had to learn about [al-Qaeda] and figure out where it fit into their broader foreign policy.'

But doing so meant delay."

Obama's exact words: "In accordance to Islamic Law, he was buried within 24 hours" and the choice of burial was at sea.

Despite separation of church and state, we referred to Islamic Law to determine what to do. I'm following Obama's lead, and referring to Islamic Law to see how I should feel about this.

Obama's a complete and utter douche bag. The ******'s obsessed with not offending this dirt bag garbage cult of death and misery known as Islam. '12 can't come soon enough.

let's pretend for a moment that you don't just irrationally hate the president and will find fault with everything he does and that you might actually have a reason for your complaint.

1)what good would keeping a dead body have done us?
2)what good would disrespecting the religious beliefs of over a billion people have done us?
3)what harm did giving a religiously respectful burial cause?

**** Islam. I'd love to shove a pound of bacon up all their asses and beat 'em with a shoe.

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.

I doubt this one..

Nope, it's true. Obama said he'd be buried within 24 hours "in accordance with Islamic Law". WTF? Islamic Law? We aren't under Islamic Law.

Show where he said "law". I call bullshit.

This is a good move. It demonstrates once more that we are not at war with Islam, and shows once more that President Obama is the adult in American politics.

What would you have us do - send him to a taxidermist and put him on display at the Smithsonian?

they've been saying it that way on the news. not sure if the President said it in that manner.

 

[rightwinger]

It is really poetic justice that Osama bin laden will not be around to celebrate the tenth anniversary of his mass murder. The thought of the US respectfully mourning its dead next September, with him still out there is horrible. Glad that as we give our respects to the dead from that day, he will be sleeping with the fishes in some distant ocean

 

[whitehall]

Remember the outrage on the left when President Bush landed on the Carrier and a banner said "mission accomplished" meaning Saddam was located and arrested? It's a great thing that Osama was killed even if his body was mysteriously buried at sea but already we see statements about "increased security measures" and it ain't over until the fat lady sings the National Anthem.

 

[tigerbob]

Sooo do we get to pull out of Iraq/Afghanistan yet? I honestly don’t care if OBL is alive or dead, never have… But honest question, does this mean the Wars are finally over?

Probably not, but that's a question for tomorrow.

 

[ClosedCaption]

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.

They weren't friends

 

[Synthaholic]

Mebbe he was wounded...

... an' dey was takin' him to Gitmo...

... but he died onna way...

... so dey just dumped his sorry carcass...

... inna Bay of Pigs.

You gonna pollute this forum too, PogoPossum?

 

[TheBrain]

I would like to see the date of the scum's death officially declared VAQ day.

a well reasoned and rational response.

one thing is for sure - you never fail to disappoint.

 

[Valerie]

I wonder how many of those who were out celebrating have loved ones serving in the military or loved ones who were killed on 9/11......?


It's indeed silly to suggest average Americans shouldn't celebrate this terrorist being brought to justice...


Forget about politics, we all give our military credit for accomplishing that task, that's a no-brainer.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

This is a great day for freedom, The USA, and all Americans.


Please stop using this fantastic news as a political weapon. It makes all sides appear stupid.

And, for good measure, for George H.W. also. His heart was in this, and he made that very clear. He cared and was not by ANY means sitting on his hands.

No doubt.

I don't recall Obama saying anything about the disposal of the body.

 

[ClosedCaption]

But Bush and the Bin Laden family were business partners. But that's ok because Bush is a repub. See?
Just because the Bin Ladens were allowed to leave the US on 911 doesn't mean anything. See how that works?

 

[uscitizen]

Waah!

 

[High_Gravity]

Its good that Bin Laden is finally dead however it has no bearing on the wars in Iraq/Afghanistan/Libya etc etc

Right on. There have been and are others now that have been calling the shots for some time. It is good that he is dead. There are still lots of other scum that need to be shot in the face.

Alot of the guys we are fighting in Afghanistan had nothing to do with 9/11 and are fighting the US for very different reasons than Bin Laden did, which is why although it is great Osama is dead, these guys are not going to lay down their arms because of it.

 

[Big Hoss]

They want to be mad at someone for 9/11 they need to look at the u.s and israeli governments.

Looking at his FBI wanted poster there is no mention that he was connected with the 9/11 attack.


Usama Bin Laden is wanted in connection with the August 7, 1998, bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. These attacks killed over 200 people. In addition, Bin Laden is a suspect in other terrorist attacks throughout the world.

FBI — USAMA BIN LADEN


and when did the spelling of his name change?
