Bin Laden is DEAD, thread from Hell

[Wicked Jester]

Kudos to Obama for giving the order. But then, any president would have made that no-brainer decision. Well, except for William Jethro who failed to give the order that would have undoubtedly taken him out, and would have likely saved thousands of american lives down the road.

Kudos to the CIA and Special Op's. The ones who are truly responsible for taking the scumbag out.

But lets not forget who the most important target was, KSM. The mastermind behind 9/11, and chief tactical operations mind behind Al qaeda.

It was a gutsy move by the President. Much like Jimmy Carter he alone, would have shouldered the blame if the attack turned into a disaster or if bin Laden wasn't there. The safe move would have been to call a massive bombing of the compound. But then we would never have known whether he was actually killed

Similar to his handling of the hijacking of the Maersk Alabama, Obama showed patience and daring in handling a critical military operation.

That would be nice IF bush wasn't declaring the end to all major combat operations in front to that banner.

White House pressed on 'mission accomplished' sign - CNN



It's pretty obvious what he was actually talking about reguadless of who they claim requested the banner and what they claim their intent was AFTER the fact that WH made it and set up every aspect of this photo op including painting W's name on the outside of the jet he arrived on.

The spin has been spun and countered previously, therefore continuing to spin that line of bs only makes you look desperate.

Another misinformed Liberal.

Psssssst.

The ship's mission WAS INDEED accomplished.

You can move along now...

1. The ship's mission was not yet accomplished...they had to sit off Pt Loma an extra 24 hours so Bush could have his photo op.

2. How many other Carriers coming back put up a Mission Accomplished sign?

3. Who actually put that sign up?

I wonder if you can be honest about any of those three things/questions.

Point Loma???

You must be a San Diego native.

Point Loma, I always wanted to be buried there. Beautiful place.

This wasn't gutsy because his skinny ass wasn't at risk.

This was the kind of move that you do when you want positive I.D.on the target. It's a fairly simple operation due to the isolation 18ft walls afford you. The hard part was getting approval with Pakastan to do it. The compound appeared like a textbook raid site.

There were a bunch of Navy SEAL's
They tracked Bin Laden on his heels,
They shot him standing, they shot him lying,
If he'd wings, they would've shot him flying,
Now he's dead but not forgotten.
His virgin pigs will hump him rotten.

It was a no-brainer move by the President. Not much thought necessary. It's become quite clear they had no doubt he was there.

Did Pakistan help hide bin Laden? - The Week

I could see if Osama bin Laden were hiding in some cave in the mountains of Pakistan, but 1000 yards from their own Military Acadamy?

We are about to find out whose side Pakistan is on: Pakistan's military and intelligence officials have always "played a high-stakes double game," says Dexter Filkins at The New Yorker. They support the U.S. fight against terrorists — collecting billions in foreign aid for their trouble — while some of them, particularly in the ISI, "have provided support for America’s enemies." It's important, and fair, to ask whether Pakistani officials were helping bin Laden, and "in the coming days, we may find out just how cooperative the Pakistanis have really been."

I posted a thread about this, for a country that takes billions of dollars of our moneys each year they certainly do have some explaining to do.

Apparently, they never told Pakistan that the operation was going down.

Just heard on FOX that the CIA, Special Op's, and the operative on the ground had a codeword, "Geronimo" for Bin Laden. Once the operative got a visual on Bin Laden, and confirmed he was there, the code word was given and the mission launched within minutes.......Cool shit!.........They are also reporting that The President was able to watch the mission go down in real time, and may have witnessed the actual killing of Bin Laden.....Man, I would love to see that footage

Pakistan has some serious 'splainin' to do.....How in the hell they couldn't have known he was there is ridiculous. He's virtually down the road from a Pakistani military base, and the neighborhood is packed with retired military. too include many former high command.

 

[drsmith1072]

Say you want but Americans will remember that Obama got it done. Did you see the celebrations? That's going straight to a campaign ad, trust me.

Obama is now a member of Seal Team 6 ??

Nope but it happened at his command and on his watch. Even you cant take that away from him

Yeah this has been mentioned previously.
A large protion of the right refuses to give obama credit for this even though they hold him accountable for everything else.
Then another portion gives him a little credit but then tries to also give credit to W even though obama is now president and we on the left are not allowed to hold W accountalbe for anything and yet they wish to give W some credit for bin laden's death. LOL

Their hypocrisy knows no bounds

 

[Spoonman]

Wasn't that what Bush was suppose to do for 7 years? Yeah......

thank god we detained those prisoners in gitmo or we never would have had bin laden today

 

[High_Gravity]

If McCain was President, he would not have OK'd the hit on Bin Laden.

In July 2008, Larry King asked Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), "If you were president and knew that bin Laden was in Pakistan, you know where, would you have U.S. forces go in after him?"

McCain said he would not.

"Larry, I'm not going to go there and here's why: because Pakistan is a sovereign nation."

Fairly simple? Why did it take 40 minutes of fighting?
Pakistan never approved it. Given their unreliability, they were kept in the dark

If the raid turned into a masacre, Obama would have been held accountable. Since it was a major success, the rightwing gives grudgingly minimal credit to the Presidents role

They basically knew Bin Laden was there, and helped in keeping him safe.

I don't have a problem crediting Obama with this decision. Though to be fair, I don't think it would have been a difficult decision for many people.

If Obama told the Pakistanis anything, our SEALS would have landed into either a empty compound or worse a set up or booby trap, the results from this shows the less the Pakistanis know the better.
