Bin Laden is DEAD, thread from Hell

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.

How the **** am I supposed to know what threads have been posted when the moderators dump everything into this massive shithole of a thread?

I think Obama deserves just as much credit for this as Bush would have received had it happened on his watch. Which is minimal IMHO. The real credit goes to the intelligence guys that found the bastard and the military that designed and executed this op successfully. Bravo guys - you did us proud and thank you.

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."

Osama Bin Laden Dead: Inside The Raid That Killed Him

I don't believe for a second that McCain wouldn't have set a hit as well. No matter what he said. Much like I don't think Obama is going to close Gitmo or do some of the stuff he said either.

The Rock tweeted about the death before even the media knew?

Anyone else think it's just sort of awesome that Dwayne Johnson is "in" on big national security news? Maybe one of those Seals that popped Bin Laden was like "F*** yeah, I'm calling Dwayne."

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.

McCain would not have went into Pakistan if he were President.

I think a pic of his corpse should be shown to the world for two reasons.
1. Don't mess with Uncle Sam.
2. This is what happens to Jihadists.

Than why did he say he wouldn't have went into Pakistan?

Actually the media knew many hours before, when the WH asked for network time for a "major national security announcement" for 10:00 Eastern time. This was early afternoon, when the request was made. The Rock obviously guessed well, as did many media people. Except they kept their mouths shut about it.

The Navy SEALs shot him in the face several times to make sure of the kill.

If his gravesite can't be martyred, neither should his final picture with his face blown off

That was the component that most interested me. There is the fact that Pakistan allowed the raid. But I wonder what 'threats' were involved for them to allow it? It is very difficult for me to believe they didn't know Obama was there. Did they report him? There is no indication they did, but then we cannot be and should not be privy to high level security tactics either. How long was he there? How long did they know? These will all be the components of a really good book some day.

I hope we don't know all of the components so that we don't ruin our capability of performing comparable operations in the future.

" There is the fact that Pakistan allowed the raid. "


You sure about that? I heard we went in with no notice to them. Probably a good thing too.

Snarky Comment: Given Obama's recent lament about how the Oval Office lacks really cool phones, perhaps he is feeling a bit more satisfied with the cool tech which enabled him to watch the raid.

how do they not know something is up. a family with no signs of income builds a secured million dollar complex and they aren't even suspiious?

Not really. The mission was accomplished. And the banner referred to the ship's mission, not the U.S. mission.
But none of the facts will ever stop the Left from spinning it.

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

During the speech in May, Bush said, "The battle of Iraq is one victory in a war on terror that began on September 11, 2001, and still goes on."

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...

Another moronic rightwing lemming.

Pssssst.

Bush wasn't just talking about the ship's mission.

You can move along now.

Calling me misinformed when I provided an actual link to support my argument while you provided NOTHING but your own moronic opinions and got thanked for your trolling just shows how ingorant and desperate you rightwing lemmings really are to rewrite history.

I guess in Pakistan asking the wrong questions can get you killed.
