Bin Laden is DEAD, thread from Hell

[teapartysamurai]

Yet another example:

With Musharraf: Mission violated sovereignty... seems the WH lied about this as well not that I give a shit as I would be willing to bet Musharraf was paid to allow OBL to live there. Its just funny how the story keeps changing.

Yes, it took balls for Obama to take the ultimate responsibility....

Oh bullcrap! They are just making noises, to keep their own radicals happy.

This OBL killing sent a big message to the terrorist world, "we will find you!"

You think any real consequences will happen?

No chance!

 

[Ravi]

Yes, and not only does he deserve credit, he also took the responsibility for any political fallout by stating it was his decision.

Now that is presidential, I don't care how much other criticism he gets or deserves for other policies.

POLITICAL FALLOUT?????????????

What political fallout could there be from killing OBL?????? Like anyone is going to miss him?

That's like saying Truman would have taken political fallout for killing Adolf Hitler.

Give us all a break!

Obama invaded a sovereign country and committed an assassination on foreign territory. The international community, esp the Muslim world, will make repercussions. Let's see how well he sticks to his statement of responsibility or whether he shifts to "this was Pres Bush's policy".
But domestically there is no liability.

Yep, this is exactly what I was talking about...the rightwinglunatic fringe.

Not surprised to see you championing bin laden.

It's been reported that bin Laden was killed by SEAL Team Six, officially known as Naval Special Warfare Development Group or DevGru.

Under Bush, JSOC was routinely smeared by the left and placed at the center of many Bush/Cheney conspiracy theories. Specifically, New Yorker reporter Seymour Hersh alleged it was Dick Cheney's personal assassination squad:

"After 9/11, I haven't written about this yet, but the Central Intelligence Agency was very deeply involved in domestic activities against people they thought to be enemies of the state. Without any legal authority for it. They haven't been called on it yet."

Hersh then went on to describe a second area of extra-legal operations: the Joint Special Operations Command. "It is a special wing of our special operations community that is set up independently," he explained. "They do not report to anybody, except in the Bush-Cheney days, they reported directly to the Cheney office. ... Congress has no oversight of it."

"It's an executive assassination ring essentially, and it's been going on and on and on," Hersh stated. "Under President Bush's authority, they've been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving. That's been going on, in the name of all of us."

Now that a Democratic President has employed JSOC to take out Osama bin Laden, will the fever swamps of the left continue to assert that it's just a Bush/Cheney plot to run around unjustifiably killing people?

You know the left should really learn to shut up during Republican admins, because sooner or later, their smears are going to come back and bite them.

Don't you get it. If you are the liberal media and conservatives are doing it they are crazy, evil, terror breeding, murderes.

If you are the liberal media and a liberal does it then it brings the nation together and is the greatest thing we ever did.

They are so blatant in their partisanship, hell they even admit it unapologetically lately.

You KNOW, if this happened under Bush, they would be trying to undermine it.

 

[Harry Dresden]

If Carter spent 8 years trying to get Bin Laden, but failed . . .

Only to have Reagan bag him. . .

The Republicans would talk about it every day for the rest of time. . .

Thank God we didn't elect a Republican in 2008. Bin Laden would still be alive
YouTube - McCain: RARE FOOTAGE! Bin Laden ? Let's Get A Consensus First, Then Get Him ?? WTF??

FYI: Today we learned that many top military advisors told Obama to bomb the compound. Obama insisted on the Navy Seals.

Thank God we finally have a real president

got a link on that?.....i heard that they wanted a team to go in from the onset,bombing was ruled out early ,because they wanted proof....

 

[jillian]

I didn't say that...you did.

yeah, what's a little presidential daily briefing between friends, right?

I'm not.
Are you saying he did not invade a sovereign country and did not authorize a targeted assasination?

 

[Old Rocks]

Yes, and not only does he deserve credit, he also took the responsibility for any political fallout by stating it was his decision.

Now that is presidential, I don't care how much other criticism he gets or deserves for other policies.

LOL You dumb ***** are just all over yourselves with envy. President Obama got Bin Laden. Bush failed to do so for 7 years. For seven years, the man that masterminded the murder of 3000 Americans on American soil walked free and lived a life of luxury, while your boy screwed up in Iraq.

I don't think there is going to be any real fallout. I think they will sputter and make noise, but what can they do?

They can't deny we had reason, and they can't deny we had a right.

If Pakistan was harboring OBL (and I think it was pretty damn obvious, they were), it is THEY who should worry about the fallout, since Afghanistan is a war zone for the same reason.

 

[Intense]

Did he put on a uniform and get his hands dirty?

Did OBAMA pull the trigger that killed OSAMA?

He was bound to get caught someday. An angry wife could have put a pellet in his mellon.

However, if boring speeches could kill an enemy, Obama would be the winner!

Yes. He is The Commander In Chief.

You are God damned right President Obama did exactly that. And had he gotten Bin Laden in the middle of Moscow or Bejing, he would still have done exactly the right thing. Get lost, you sad bitter loser.

 

[Harry Dresden]

"This whole "USA, USA, USA" flag waving, rah rah bullshit is disgraceful". This isnt negative?

What the **** kind of world do you live in?

Damn.

You pull a quote from one of the biggest new idiots on the board, and tie it to all right wingers?

Get a fuckin' clue.

You're probably one of the sorriest people to ever exist in human history. A shill for the government until the bitter end. I know you like the taste of America's cum as it dribbles down your chin, but this is too much...

are you the idiot he is talking about?.....just askin....to many posts to look through.....

 

[teapartysamurai]

Quite right, Obama potentially risked his presidency and his personal legacy on this one operation.
He deserves a share of the credit.

He RISKED HIS PRESIDENCY??????????????????

There are people on the left now saying there is no way Obama can lose in 2012 and you people on the left are claiming he risked his presidency?????????

Yeah, because those people dancing in Times Square Sunday night were sooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry Bin Laden's dead!

Can you guys get anymore full of it??????

I bet you can try!

On the left...is that where I am?

As far as risk is concerned, what, do you imagine, would have happened if it had all turned to custard...if the reported Pakistan military academy down the road had come out firing, if the US blokes had got caught up in a fight with them and Osama's crew?
What if they'd all been killed, or captured, or killed a load of Pakistani soldiers, or civilians...?

The more I think about it, the potential for a cock-up of monumental proportions seems greater.
What sort of a shit-storm do you think would have descended on Obama?

And what if unicorns came out of Obama's butt and shot Bin Laden??????

I don't discuss hypotheticals because they aren't grounded in reality?

The Pakistan military academy come out against our best????

Yeah, and Baghdad Bob told us the US would never set foot in Baghdad.

They weren't coming out against Navy Seals. Get real!

 

[California Girl]

Wtf

I made a post in this thread and was told it was an invalid link.

Obama showed courage, leadership and acted in the best interest of this Country by ordering the Insertion with orders to capture or kill Bin Laden. He acted in the best interest of this Country and it was a Presidential action that deserves credit.

The military and the CIA deserve credit for finding him

Bush deserves credit for starting the hunt.

Actually, that would be Clinton.

Nope. It was Bush who started this particular hunt. And Obama ended it.

 

[teapartysamurai]

Thank you, President Obama, for ridding the world of bin laden.

Such unhappiness you've caused among the right wing lunatic fringe.

Are you not gonna thank George Bush as well? This op started under his watch. Even Obama recognizes that fact.

For your amusement and future reference, here's what Bush has said about bin Laden at various points in time, depending on how he was trying to spin things:

"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 want justice...There's an old poster out West, as I recall, that said, 'Wanted: Dead or Alive,'"
- G.W. Bush, 9/17/01, UPI

"...Secondly, he is not escaping us. This is a guy, who, three months ago, was in control of a county [sic]. Now he's maybe in control of a cave. He's on the run. Listen, a while ago I said to the American people, our objective is more than bin Laden. But one of the things for certain is we're going to get him running and keep him running, and bring him to justice. And that's what's happening. He's on the run, if he's running at all. So we don't know whether he's in cave with the door shut, or a cave with the door open -- we just don't know...."
- Bush, in remarks in a Press Availablity with the Press Travel Pool,
The Prairie Chapel Ranch, Crawford TX, 12/28/01, as reported on
official White House site

"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 am truly not that concerned about him."
- G.W. Bush, repsonding to a question about bin Laden's whereabouts,
3/13/02 (The New American, 4/8/02)

What does that have to do with the fact that it was Bush's policy of waterboarding that got the info to kill him?

Not a lot!

It's hardly ency you puke. For people who accused Bush of an illegal war for years you are the biggest hypocrites to walk the planet now that "Pres Obama got bin Laden", like he pulled the trigger himself.

Old Rocks, I hate to break it to you, but you better read the Op.

A) It was waterboarding done under Bush that got the intel to find OBL.

B) The killing was carried about by the the Seal Team that was called "Cheney's Assasionation Ring."

It is YOU dumb you know what's that have egg on your face. Every thing liberals were against when Bush was president, finally got Bin Laden.

Deal with it.

Senator Obama voted against, lobbied against, and spoke out against every single thing that led to this victorious moment up until 01-20-2009. He fought every step of the way AGAINST this effort until he was elected, now, he reaps the fruit of the very tree he tried to chop down.

C'mon now...you've moaned and groaned and gnashed your teeth from the moment the word came out that our SEALS got OBL. You don't think this is a victory....you're hating it. You're hatin' it bad. All we have to do is search all your posts since Sunday afternoon to see that.
