I guess, if saving peoples lives is a fetish to you"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

SpeedRacer 1 #403 May 4, 2011 Quote Along those lines I wonder what the talking points would be today had it been Bush (this week), that went into another country, with out that countries knowledge or permission, with out a UN resolution ,or the support or knowledge of congress, and performed a military operation killing people in that country? Ya just gotta wonder If Bush had done this same operation, I would have fully supported it. Taking out the leader of AQ is the main thing, no matter which party is in the Whitehouse.

freethefly 6 #408 May 4, 2011 I think you are wrong. Bush had the backing from the American people and the world when he sent troops into Afghanistan. It was only when he backed down and turned his attention to Iraq that he dumbfounded the American people and the world. It made no sense. Thousands of people died as a result of his bravado. The same would be felt of Obama, had he done the same."...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

DaVinci 0 #416 May 4, 2011 QuoteCaptured documents in the compound may provide a quicker way of getting info. Could have had BOTH. I personally wished he was captured. News reports now show he was unarmed when shot. Of course, I do not grieve for him being dead either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jclalor 12 #418 May 4, 2011 Quote Quote Quote So last night my x was playing bingo when it was announce that Bin laden was killed. The person making the announcement made the common mistake of referring to Bin Laden as "Obama' Stating that Obama has just been shot and killed, She was shocked at the number of people who applauded. There was then a moment of confusion until they announced the correct name. I have heard and made that same mistake As for the clapping? It does not pass the sniff test IMO It does not pass your sniff test? Imagine that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaVinci 0 #419 May 4, 2011 QuoteCould it be that she was addressing exactly that documented and reported glob of people celebrating and not the misdirection of might-have-beens you listed? She also said, "If I had to use deadly force, I would not be cheerful/celebrating after doing so..." So unless the DEVGRU has females, or she works in the WH.... The general application applies.

DaVinci 0 #425 May 4, 2011 QuoteBush lacked the will to get Bin Laden and focused on an easy target. Oh geeze..... The fact is that it was 2005 or so that OBL was able to settle down and stay in one place. If you think for one second that Bush would have done nothing if he had intel of OBL's position... Well you are smoking something. Giving credit to Obama... He did very well. But please, cut your Bush bashing to something a bit more realistic. Why did Obama send in a team instead of blasting the compound? Simple, we were not SURE he was there AND it was in a 'friendly' country. Dropping a bomb on a compound in a friendly country without 100% proof of OBL being there would be an act of war. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
