1. He was per American Theater circa 2003. That's all that matters.
Now that he's dead, things will get worse in the world, not better. This is not a good thing.

I'm not a fan of executions without trials or US drone strikes. And just because such contempt for any standard of lawful conduct is going to ensure another four years of Obama I'm not celebrating.
Some few are happy because they believe this will insureOBL'sB Hussein Obama's reelection.

Now that OBL is dead... sadly, that will actually raise the risk of an attack.
Revenge of the revenge, of the revenge. This is part of the cycle.
Oh and beware of the rise of RW jingoist emotions as well.
And I hope this country DOES THE DAMN MATURE THING with that body too. That might help to defuse some of the heightened risk of attack.

And then for dessert, announcing the assassination of a boogey-man named Osama Bin Laden and then burying his corpse immediately at sea.
These are not the actions of a country I wish to have anything to do with.

113. You forgot VENGEFUL.
And I would have been happy to desecrate his filthy corpse.
BTW, it's interesting how you accept Libyan government press releases and not even the doubts of Al Jazeera which can't find a shred of proof that ANYBODY died in that raid, let alone children.
Why you defend murderous dictators and condemn us is a paradox only you can work out in your mind.

115. Murderous dictators are just that so one cannot expect civilized behavior from them,
But the US pretends to be something far better and that is why their behavior is supposed to be held to a higher standard.
Do you not understand what that means?
Why you have such low standards for your own country is something you need to think about.
Have your standards always been low or did they drop once you realized you live in a country that doesn't give one shit about their citizens' health and spend their money on killing foreigners to line the pockets of the rich multinationals who also don't give a shit about American citizens?

No YOU didn't do it. It was the Navy SEALs.

I don't like pacifists and their phoniness. They don't bring about peace; they just leave it to others to defend them, since they won't defend themselves.

I can't stand pacifist's and their smug self-righteousness. :puke: They use pacifism to claim they're so much more superior than anyone else. They stand aside all superior and self-righeous while others have to take on the bullies of the world. After someone else does the dirty work they stand there preaching about how much better they are because they don't believe in "that kind of thing".

119. Wow, what an ignorant and offensive post.
Gandhi was willing to sacrifice his life using nonviolent resistance. He wasn't a coward, letting others defend him. Many who choose the path of non-violent resistance to injustice have been killed because of it. The real cowards are the ones who are willing to do anything, including slaughtering innocent civilians, if it might make them safer. Physical security is the highest value of the coward, and most Americans cowardly embrace murder for the sake of physical security.

61. It wouldn't have taken that long and that much money if Bushie had the balls to make a decision back
in October/November 2001 when they had him surrounded and wounded in the mountains of Tora Bora.
The US Special Forces reported they had him pinned down and requested authorization to "take him out". Such authorization could only come from the POTUS back then.
Bush took too long, and 3 hours later, Bin Laden escaped to Pakistan.
In Sunday's special forces operation in Pakistan, President Obama told them to capture or kill him, no uncertain terms. He pre-authorized them to do whatever it took to end it there.

You think it takes "balls" for someone sitting in the White House to order a killing? This is all about macho brave guys?
What nonsense. Anyone siting safely in a chair in the oval office can order up a killing without a lot of bravery being required.
Bush wasn't a coward,and Obama isn't brave. That isn't what is important here.
What's important is to udenrstand that this killing is just another day in the long-runnng horror show called US foreign policy in the era of fabricated global crises.

Seriously, though, the White House claims the muslim watched the raid on TV in the Situation Room.

This is all so much bullshit! - I don't believe a word of the OBL whacking!
Edited on Tue May-03-11 08:54 AM by Vinnie From Indy
The story that is being pushed very hard is that it has taken ten years to locate OBL and it was only after the CIA followed OBL's "couriers" did they locate the compound with it's 18ft barbed wire topped walls in the important military-heavy city of Abbattabad. We have been told, by some, that it was only the waterboarding of some suspects that resulted in the identification of his couriers.
Let's start with the couriers. If the CIA began torturing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in 2003 and the torture was effective, would the CIA not have had these couriers names years ago. If they had ID'd the couriers in 2003 or 2004, why did it take so long for them to lead the CIA to Bin Laden? Did these couriers only begin to visit Bin Laden in the last few months?
It has been reported that Bin Laden was in the compound with a wife and a son. We are supposed to believe that the CIA was not monitoring these two people and that these family members were able to join Bin Laden in Pakistan with nobody noticing. I find it unbelievable that over the last few years that the CIA and other intelligence agencies were unable to verify the location of some of Bin Laden's closest family members. When they turned up missing, would not someone have tried to locate these people?
The compound itself presents many questions. The city of Abbottabad is a militarily significant city in Pakistan. It houses many senior and retired military leaders as well as a Pakistani military academy. One would think that several intelligence agencies would notice a compound that had 18' walls and barbed wire. If not foreign intelligence agencies noticing a compound like this, one would certainly believe that the Pakistani intellignce services would notice this compound in the midst of a relatively small city that was packed with former and current military and intelligence officers. It is simply unbelieveable that the Pakistanis would not notice this compound. The fact is that Bin Laden was being supported by elements of the Pakistani military or intellignce agencies.
To sum it up, the whole back story about suddenly discovering Bin Laden is simply unbelievable. I guess we will never know what really happened, but the current story falls flat IMHO.

24. That's exactly how I feel.
And I think it's a damned shame this needed to be moved to the dungeon. If this had happened on Bush's watch, you'd be damned sure that people here would be picking apart this story like crazy. But since it's Obama, only a handful are willing to question it, many others are probably too afraid to get lambasted. I think it's a good thing that Osama is dead, but the circumstances surrounding his death raise more questions than answer them.

4. It didn't take 10 years - The effort is only 2 1/2 years old
The bu$h regime did not put much effort into catching OBL. They needed the boogie man to keep people scared. Bu$h said himself once that he didn't think too much about it.
2 1/2 years after Obama took office the mission was finally accomplished.
