Ossama Bin Laden was not armed.

[thegimp03]

Could you imagine if we had OBL alive in the U.S. somewhere? I'm afraid of what his supporters would do in attempting to get him back.

Oh, and another thing. Last I heard is the 3,000 or so people who died in the WTC on 9/11 were unarmed too.

This is one funny thread.

And the whiny left would be wringing their wrists, biting their lips, and crying for "humane" treatment for him. No thanks. He got what he deserved.

Exactly.


We demonstrated our civility, our tolerance, and our respect for the religion which Usama Bin Laden has perverted by having an Imam say the proper prayers before dumping him overboard.

So it can give leftists ammunition to spew their America hating, military hating, terrorist loving viewpoints. See OP. Obama catering to his base.

Good to see that everything is operating normally around here again. It was weird seeing people united and rational.

And he would probably definitely be abused in prison and those pictures would get out and it would make it a lot easier to hate America and side with Osama.

Having him die is much better for PR. On CNN, it even said on the bottom that his body was treated with respect and followed Islamic customs. That's good. Do not give terrorists something to point at to make people hate the US even more.

I think you are mixed up.
The left generally love America due to the freedom of speech, freedom of religion, essentially, the right to try to make a life and enjoy it.

Terrorists are almost exclusively extreme far right wing types. Generally, terrorists do not like America, and they often love other terrorists.

That said, comparing terrorists to normal right wingers is a very strong exaggeration, but it's not nearly as far fetched as what you're saying in your post.

So are you conservatives going to vote for Obama now that he has had an unarmed terrorist shot in the face?

Obama - directly responsible for who gets shot in the face

The right wingers have no idea how close they are to the fundamentalist islamic terrorist types. Its laughable.

F That, I wouldn't have cared if the entire crew took a leak on him before dumping him overboard.

I disagree: Should he have been taken alive, he merely would have gained another pulpit to speak from.

Yeah because the US has let a lot of those guys at Guantanamo share their mind. Comon dude. And if you're worried about a trial, it's not like in the movies, he wouldn't be allowed to start ranting about America in a murder trial. It would be irrelevant and the court would have him shut up.

Anyone who identifies themselves with a group imo is close to being a fundamentalist islamic terrorist type. the "left" isn't much better than the "right" as far as I'm concerned. a bunch of religious idiots trying to force their agenda on everyone else. don't say the left isn't religious, they're just as religious with their ideals as the right. The D and R parties are nothing but big American churches for the ignorant.

Bush s fascist government killed way more innocent people
attacking a country using lies , forgeries and false pretenses,
but it just happen that it s YOUR government, so these
crimes escape your narrow mind...

Osama Bin Laden was not armed. In other news, things Osama Bin Laden is not - not breathing.

What does this have to do with this topic?

 

[Lemon law]

Sadly, this forum is thinking mostly American views, the point is the Muslim and even the European world will likely be appalled with the news. As this admission has dragged the USA to exactly the same moral level as Ossama himself.

But my views of mere shame are irrelevant, we need to worry about all those other people who will use their outrage to kill innocent Americans. As for those that set the rules of engagement for the raid, they have large contingents of secret service agents and the like to protect them from any retaliation.

no

Then you're blind. I've encountered just as many frothing at the mouth "liberals" as I have "conservatives".

 

[ShawnD1]

Maybe the official story should be that they shot him while he was going to the bathroom

Well, fascism is extreme far right, I was talking about more or less "normal" right wingers ... specifically, ones that have ethics, intelligence, and sanity....

These are not the type of people you'll find on the TV since you aren't generally allowed on TV unless you lack some combination of ethics, intelligence, and/or sanity. There are of course exceptions for people who can do jokes, tricks, or have neat voices.... But in general, if you're on TV, it's not because of your jokes, tricks, or voice.

Links to quotes from more than a couple die-hard Jihadis being "appalled"?

Well in a Oct 7 2008 debate Obama did promise to kill Bin Laden. He made no mention of capturing him. He was just keeping his word.

http://politifact.com/truth-o-meater/promises/obameter/promise/901/we-will-kill-bin-laden/
“What I have said is we're going encourage democracy in Pakistan, expand our non-military aid to Pakistan so that they have more of a stake in working with us, but insisting that they go after these militants. And if we have Osama bin Laden in our sights and the Pakistani government is unable or unwilling to take them out, then I think that we have to act, and we will take them out. We will kill bin Laden. We will crush al-Qaida. That has to be our biggest national security priority.”

Executing a known enemy, even if he is defenseless, is not as bad as killing thousands of innocent civilians. Do you really think they're the same?

Please don't respond with inane vagueries about people's feelings. Answer the fucking question.

 

[Imp]

Murdered a mass murderer...

"Peace keeping" operations "accidentally" bomb a wedding part, killing 30 real innocent people every so often..

Not shedding a tear...
