You can run but you can't hide from Obama

 

[HybridSquirrel]

I just got into the office.

Suddenly, I'm not surprised that this has devolved into partisan hate.

Even Rush was congratulating Obama this morning.

I am at school today, was at the office this morning. No one really gave a shit. Everyone just went about their daily lives. Which is to be expected.

 

[PeshakJang]

I'm not mad at all. I'm quite happy that some people can set aside every principal that they've championed for the last 10 years and come right out to state that the ends justify the means.

I'm pretty proud of the left today.

 

[fskimospy]

At least the left has come around to lauding late-night raids, executions, and information obtained from Gitmo through "alternate" means, instead of believing that the military does nothing but murder women and children in cold blood and bomb the shit out of civilians.

After so many years of this attitude, it is nice to see that some people can change their minds overnight.

When was the left against raids at night, and who was against them specifically? Who is now supporting obtaining info from Gitmo through 'alternate means' (even though the means by which this info was gotten through are unknown)? Even if it were, who is lauding that? What people believe the military does nothing but murder women and children in cold blood?

Please be specific.

Because I'm surprised that there was that much time. I was under the impression that he was still moving from place to place frequently and so with that in mind you would hit him as soon as you got the chance. Looks like that's not the case, so we had more time to prepare.

the place was built in ~2005. he may have been there for years, though it may also be the case that he had several similar safe houses and moved between them.

I believe those persians do nothing but murder women and children. I have seen it first hand.

Wonder if he still thinks Obama wants the terrorists to win.

We couldn't do anything because of Pakistan. We would have loved to blow it the hell up with a lone missile, but Pakistan was protecting his ass from us.

You're really joking, I'm sure. It was a cornerstone of the anti-war argument for the last couple years, at least.

It is a striking symptom of the moral depravity of the US war in Afghanistan ... Is that supposed to be an argument? Petraeus is saying: if you stop the night raids, you stop the war. If that is true, then that is all the more reason to oppose the night raids. ...

Comments:

Maybe there has been no debate because deep down in our hearts we know that the best way to terrorize a people is to attack them in the dead of night after they have gone to sleep. Nobody can terrorize people as well as we do, nobody.

The news stories state that information from Gitmo led to information which allowed this raid to take place. The left's stance has been that Gitmo in and of itself is a war crime, and nothing good can come from it. Now that Obama chose not to close it, it's suddenly not an issue. Now that info has been used to lead to a successful raid on OBL, suddenly Obama is a wartime hero. Keep lying to yourself though.

Please be specific.

Specific? Murtha. Most reporters for the well-known leftist news outlets... HuffPo, Rolling Stone, etc. The only stories they are more than willing to report on are stories, whether substantiated or not, of US soldiers murdering women, children, and other innocents in the middle of the night.

You can lie to yourself all you want, but facts are facts.

 

[bfdd]

What 'tougher stance' would you have advocated? How would this have led to him being 'gotten earlier'? Be specific.

Uh stop funding their backwards asses and if they did intact harbor the piece of shit we should treat them like the pieces of shit they would then be.

Yep. All of Bush's policies, the secret CIA prisons, gitmo, etc are paying off.

I've said all along that once Obama got into the white house and had access to the intelligence that only a president has he had his "oh shit, Bush was right" moment. And it was this epiphany of his that made him continue Bush's war on terror policies.

All that being said - America, FUCK YEAH!

 

[HybridSquirrel]

wait, they dumped his body in the sea?


wtf.

 

[dmcowen674]

He was shot twice in the head. Even if they did show the body it probably wouldnt be easily identifiable.

Hussein had 8 body doubles.

How many does Osama have?

Body doubles? Did you guys miss the part where the body's DNA matched Osama's sister's DNA?

http://thephoenix.com/BLOGS/phlog/a...a-s-sister-s-brain-the-boston-connection.aspx

When Osama bin Laden was shot dead by Navy SEALs, US operatives had bin Laden family DNA samples ready to match against the corpse.

Where did those samples come from?

According to a report from ABC Channel 5, the DNA came from the body of Osama's sister, who died of cancer in Boston at Mass General and whose brain was then subpoenaed by the FBI for precisely this purpose.

Ahh, so as usual our good friend PJ here comes to his conclusions through ludicrous distortion and oversimplification in order to justify his delusional view of 'libruls'. A specific operation to apprehend or kill a high value target that takes place at night is not in fact the same thing as endorsing or opposing a policy of nationwide counterinsurgency that involves thousands of such raids spread across an entire population. If you honestly thought this means that liberals believe that no operation should ever take place at night ever, you are functionally retarded.

Really. You thought liberals were against fighting at night. Listen to how dumb you sound.

The news stories state that information from Gitmo led to information which allowed this raid to take place. The left's stance has been that Gitmo in and of itself is a war crime, and nothing good can come from it. Now that Obama chose not to close it, it's suddenly not an issue. Now that info has been used to lead to a successful raid on OBL, suddenly Obama is a wartime hero. Keep lying to yourself though.

Gitmo being a war crime does not mean that nothing good could ever come from it. That would once again be a gross distortion indicative of delusional hatred. You can both think that Guantanamo is a war crime and should be closed while recognizing a piece of useful intelligence that came out of it. I'm not sure how that's at all difficult to understand.

Specific? Murtha. Most reporters for the well-known leftist news outlets... HuffPo, Rolling Stone, etc. The only stories they are more than willing to report on are stories, whether substantiated or not, of US soldiers murdering women, children, and other innocents in the middle of the night.

You can lie to yourself all you want, but facts are facts.

Please provide specific quotes of Murtha saying that the military is only good for killing women in children in cold blood. Not him condemning such things, but stating that is all the military does, as you claimed. In addition, it is a truly bizarre statement to attempt to make the argument that because a news organization reports on specific kinds of stories that they believe soldiers are engaging only in those kinds of actions. Once again, bizarre, delusional thinking.

You are a complete joke, and your arguments are so transparently horrible that a sixth grader could shred them. All you are is a poor, angry culture warrior.

What funding do you think we give them, and how is it spent? What actions would you specifically want us to take, and how would they help US interests?

 

[nick1985]

What funding do you think we give them, and how is it spent?

Somewhere in the area of $0, and I don't care how they choose to spend it.

 

[zinfamous]

Your post is incoherent. For example, you refer to "Bin Laden DNA." Does that mean Osama's DNA or family's DNA? (I don't really care I'm just pointing out that you're incoherent.)

I'm "prattling on" because idiots like you keep responding to my posts out of context and trying to put words in my mouth. I SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT FAMILY DNA AND THE CORPSE IS ONE OF MANY PIECES OF EVIDENCE USED TO CONFIRM THE IDENTITY. I am not trying to deny that it is Osama. If you're going to respond I'd ask that you have the decency to read my other posts on the subject, asshat.

lol. someone got mad. not sure how my question was taken as incendiary. I was honestly trying to get at what you were looking for.

the only word I used was "prattling"

I said bin Laden b/c that is his family name, meaning--family. Osama DNA would be him, the individual.

 

[fskimospy]

I did not ask how much you THOUGHT we should give them, I asked if people here knew how much we DO give them and how it is spent.

 

[PeshakJang]

Really. You thought liberals were against fighting at night. Listen to how dumb you sound.

No, liberals were against anything relating to the war, anything relating to an activity where somebody might get hurt, and anything in which they could find a way to lambaste the previous administration. Now that those same things are being used by Obama, the results are to be lauded, and the means to be ignored.

You're either willfully ignorant, or purposefully stupid. Either way, facts are facts, and you ain't got them.

You know what the difference is? I can say that I am glad the president authorized our soldiers to ignore the sovereignty of Pakistan, to enter and assassinate Bin Laden with a bullet through the brain. No arrest, no Miranda rights, no trial in NYC. My principals allow me to say that. The left cannot say that without ignoring every principal they have claimed to have for the last 10 years.
