Bin Laden is DEAD, thread from Hell

[auditor0007]

Just wanted to give a shout to the CIA as I have not heard them mentioned prominently and I think they deserve a large part of the credit as well...

They were much maligned, in some cases correctly but especially took a lot of heat ala interrogation techniques, too gung ho, black ops in foreign prisons, rendition etc etc etc…

I heard one G-2 describe Intel work like trying to make a cat walk backwards….walking back the cat is what he called it.

You're working with a 5000 piece jigsaw puzzle, you don’t know or only suspect what the picture is supposed to look like, you have only half the pieces if that and as you get another you try and fit it in, you don’t know it if fits all because you may not have the other pieces around it, but, you just keep walking the cat.

From 2003 to 2005 to 2007 to last August and to the last 48 hours… Bin laden…..well done.

It is good to get some positive news from the CIA. Job well done.

 

[Spoonman]

is libya the right war?

Don't know about that. But I do know that no Americans have been killed there.

the same can be said for the first few weeks of bombing iraq. but hey. at least bush followed the law and got congressional approval

Traj...did you read in the CIA report that also present at the OBL compound were Michaela and Tareq Salahi!

 

[bodecea]

Only two detainees were water boarded. Do you have proof that one of them gave the info or is it wishful thinking?

WHAT????????

I thought we had waterboarded children and little old ladies who were kidnapped by BOOOSSHHH and Cheney - though innocent as lambs?

Only TWO people were waterboarded? You commies made that kind of a raucous over two? One was Rosie O'Donnell, who was the other?

I can guarantee to you that one of them was NOT Sean Hannity.

"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him."
- G.W. Bush, 9/13/01


"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

I guess Osama was just one more thing Obama had to clean up for Bush.

You're going to have to provide links that put those quotations in context to be believable. I don't believe Bush ever said either one. They have been posted and repeated ad nauseum by "I hate Bush" websites but there is no credible evidence that he ever said that.

Here is the press conference where it all apparently evolved from:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PGmnz5Ow-o]YouTube - Bush: Truly not concerned about bin Laden (short version)[/ame]

A transcript attributed to Vanity Fair of that press conference is here:
Bush not worried about Osama Bin Laden

That's pretty funny right there…he didn’t really say those quotes…you apologists kill me sometimes…

Do you forget when Bush had Osama on the ropes in Afghanistan only to let him go, literally, to invade Iraq, an invasion that was based on lies and deceit?

Remember? It really wasn't that long ago.

Holy ****, I went to bed last night and it was 5 pages. Now it's 54?

I'm not reading through all this. Osama is still dead, right?

Maybe you should learn the law before you bash someone and accuse them of not following the law, the President does not need Congress to approve of shit for 60 days + 30 days to withdraw the troops.

 

[JimH52]

Just Incredible. I thought I would never see him killed or captured. Makes me prouder still to be an American.

and they got out? thats got to be the guest list coup of the century!!!

 

[rightwinger]

This may be the CIA at it's finest hour

They took a major hit on 9-11 and Iraq. Today they proved their worth to the country. Most of what they do goes unnoticed and unrewarded. First rate investigation

good thing your name isn't rip van winkle

 

[RadiomanATL]

Oh, I see. It's devolved into whose team is better.

Carry on, my partisan fucktwits....

Summation of thread:

Some idiots believe Osama is dead but Obama gets no credit

Some idiots believe Osama is not dead and Obama is lying to cover for his fake birth certificate.

Some idiots believe that Bush never was serious about getting Osama and it is only because of Obama and His divine leadership that the bastard is dead

 

[Nic_Driver]

No matter what the Republicans try to say, Obama got him, Bush didn't...there is no way to spin that!!!

Kind of the same way those responsible for the first World Trade Center bombing were captured, tried and convicted under Clinton.

Wow, look at that would you...seems the Democrats have the better record when it come to fighting terrorists.

Consider this operation and compare/contrast it with Desert 1 and think about how much has changed in 30 years.

That would probably make a good thread topic.

yes. good point. for one thing Elint has proven that it can compliment Humint very effectively. the old bulls didn't thought elint could not contribute very much, and hung on to the old paradigm, half of this credit if not more has to go to those those that pushed ahead.

Obama is alive and kicking. OSAMA ain't doing so well.....

I was hoping politics could stay out of it for at least one day. I guess not...
