Merged Osama bin Laden dead,

Wow. Some nut jobs are out there saying that killing Osama was the wrong thing to do because it will cause the terrorists to hate us so much that they'll want to kill us..................

RANT! Wow.

Osama used a woman as a human shield?

That's what I just read.

And I thought I hated the man before now. Now I realize that I hadn't even begun to hate the guy.

You know, a warrior, a fighter in something he believes in; You have to have some respect for him, and that is healthy because it means you will take him seriously.

But I just lost that respect.

This was not a warrior's death.

This was not a martyr's death.

This was a yellow dog's death.

He was in death as terrorists are in life. Cowards.

yes. I know....but......couldn't they just tow him behind the ship as a fleet gunnery target for a few hours before they cut him adrift?

You know, filling him full of lead would certainly have made the trip to the bottom a bit quicker. Good for the fishies.

I don't follow what you mean here. My point was to agree with you that the poster you responded to was in denial, rather than exercising skepticism.

I suspect that a lot of the conservatives are so used to being apologists for crooks and liars, but just putting up with it, that they assume that pretty much everyone is operating with ulterior motives even in the face of evidence to the contrary.

LOL! That statement is so naive and so uninformed, on sooo many levels, that it says more about you than Obama or Limbaugh or O'Reilley or Beck. :D

Umm, well yes it probably does, since it is what we often call a personal opinion. Your point?

WikiLeaks: Bin Laden's courier 'trained 9/11 hijack team'

… snip …

For the past two years, American spies had been monitoring the courier, known as Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti, after learning his name four years ago, according to US officials.

… snip …

The file for the Guantanamo detainee, Muhammad Mani al-Qahtani, who was to have been the "20th hijacker" on 9/11, contains a reference to the key US intelligence thread that led directly to bin Laden.

… snip ...

The file suggests that the courier’s identity was provided to the US by another key source, the al-Qaida facilitator Hassan Ghul, who was captured in Iraq in 2004 and interrogated by the CIA.

Gee … you mean we learned where Osama was hiding by capturing a guy IN IRAQ and NOT reading him his Miranda rights? :D
 
Destructive entities can get such fate. Nuclear preferances, more damaging arms & tools, intiating & manipulating fights for vesting interests, egoistic superiority complexes, creating destructive tools, creating disharmony & imbalances(nature imbalance etc.)or otherse odd, can also be considered as destructing entities & tools, unless "nature balances itself" is on way due to previous excesses/odds.
 
It's amazing how many of the "reasonable" folks here have now been shown to be truthers in disguise, as in "everything the government says is a lie, a lie, I tell ya!".

Oh. Is that what you were trying to be when you wrote "The result of too much Bush, Nixon, Agnew, Cheney, Libby, Palin, Bachman, Limbaugh, Beck, Gingrich, Trump ad infinitum...liars and crazies who have distorted beyond reason the accepted meaning of reality." Polite? :rolleyes:

Yeah, that's among the most stupid things I've ever heard :rolleyes:
 
http://washingtonexaminer.com/politics/2011/05/get-bin-laden-obama-relied-policies-he-decried

To get bin Laden, Obama relied on policies he decried

… snip …

For one thing, it apparently would not have happened without those infamous enhanced interrogation techniques -- "torture," according to critics of the Bush administration.

The enhanced interrogation techniques reportedly led to identification of the courier who eventually led our forces to bin Laden's hiding place. Critics of waterboarding and other enhanced interrogation techniques assured us that "torture" could not produce reliable information.

… snip …

It has also been reported that in hunting down bin Laden our forces relied on intercepted communications. I wonder if any of them included contacts between suspected terrorists abroad and persons in the United States.
This was the "domestic wiretapping" revealed to great acclaim by the New York Times and presented as an intolerable infringement of civil liberties. … snip …

Obama deserves credit also for employing the Navy SEALs who are part of the Joint Special Operations Command. It was fashionable a few years ago to call the JSOC Cheney's death squad and Cheney's assassination team.

… snip …

There was criticism as well of the idea of targeting particular individuals for assassination. But in ordering the raid on bin Laden's compound Obama authorized the killing of bin Laden. And no Miranda warnings first.

… snip …

Finally, let us note that this was a unilateral operation. Obama didn't go to the United Nations Security Council. He didn't, so far as we know, consult NATO allies. He took care not to inform the government of Pakistan … snip …

For years we heard supposedly enlightened people excoriate our leaders for torture, lawlessness, unilateralism -- the list goes on and on. Now the president they have wanted has used the tactics and methods they excoriated to get bin Laden. Good for him.

Btw, Who created OBL? Manytimes things can be persued naturally to achieve nature's balance or due to nature balances itself on excess of imbalance on either side. Creation, maintainance & destruction are three tools, to keep or bring the things in order or balance...so the Trinity in Hinduism---so the angels & devils.

So Richard MarcinkoWP in his book or on his radio show, "has stated in print more than once that he did not intend for his shooters to bring terrorists back alive," according to Polaris and this is evidence the mission Sunday included a kill directive?

I don't find the description of someone about his Seal group to be definitive in this case.

That's 3 decades ago!!!!!

From your own link, Marcinko hand-picked the original members of SEAL Team 6 and named it as well. I never claimed that his statement indicated a kill directive, even if that's what you're reading into it. I do think that it's not unlikely that the founder's personal philosophy would be imprinted upon that organization - knowing a few SEALs myself, admittedly this is anecdotal, Marcinko holds a legendary status.

Oh, and here's the quote (language NSFW):

http://books.google.com/books?id=TY...&resnum=1&ved=0CBkQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false

Bottom of page 15 in his first novel written without a professional co-author (his novels are first-person with himself as the protagonist, so I think it fair to consider what he says about his character's philosophy to mirror his own - certainly I saw no change from the autobiography, except for for an increase in the scale of vulgarity after ditching the co-author).
