Dockside Chat - Bin Laden is Dead

Fox News is reporting....This is huge! and great news

:thumbsup:

I'm watching as well. Hope he Rots.In.Pieces.

Just saw it as well.:thumbsup:

I hope they hang his dead, putrid body at ground zero in September. Go US military! :thumbsup:

Somebody let the cat out of the bag early, Obama must be pissed!!!!!

Finally the news is reporting something good for once!!! Now the real question. What should we do with the body? I guess his followers will want the body so will give it back strapped to a nuke of course!!

Somebody let the cat out of the bag early, Obama must be pissed!!!!!

Who knows he will get the credit through. But it is great news !!

First time I've wanted to actually turn the news on for a very long time. :thumbsup: to our wonderful military.

Now the real question. What should we do with the body?

I know a good taxidermist.

Now we are going to get attacked hard core.. its bitter sweet I pray that 9/11 does not happen again

:thumbsup: Good riddance for mankind!

He done got Predatorized !!
About god damn time!! WTG TROOPS!!

Now we are going to get attacked hard core.. its bitter sweet I pray that 9/11 does not happen again

Good grief.

Happened almost a week ago. DNA takes a while... wish he was taken alive.

Great job and a long time coming to all of the men and women in the armed forces, and other agencies, that are serving or who have served.

Wonder how far our special ops were in Pakistan?

ITs good news, but in reality whats going to change? Proabably nothing in the near future. Husein has been dead for years and I still deploy to Iraq.

Obama's not pissed, he got it done under his watch! Over 47000 men and women have been wounded or died fighting terrorist since 911 This was way over due! Thank god my fellow Marines and other service members died for something. Congrats to the world! One less Evil MF off the face of the planet! His head should be cut off and drug through the streets of New York! Now go get the next one!!! Awesome:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::th umbsup:

Somebody let the cat out of the bag early, Obama must be pissed!!!!!

Did anybody happen to see/hear Geraldos minor slip?
"Again, Fox News has confirmed that OBAMA IS DEAD! Uh, ah, Bin Laden is dead!"
I had to do a double take! Guess you can't have everything, huh? :grin:

Now we are going to get attacked hard core.. its bitter sweet I pray that 9/11 does not happen again

Sorry but that is just a chickens**t response to a real victory.

If they try anything we have plenty more for them where that came from. :thumbsup:

My sweet wife Allison who was lost on the 104th floor of the south tower can rest now. So happy he is gone but still so sad my wife was taken from me.

Ketchum so sorry for your loss, I can only hope this makes your loss a bit easer on you and your family. This monster can no longer kill innocent people.

A rat can hide for only so long. Good riddance.

How did he die?? I hope it was from a US bullet... :tht_rulez::tht_rulez::tht_rulez:

How is it a chicken shit statement? It's a.fact they will come after us... I am happy as Hell that pos is dead , I wish I could have put tge bullet in him. Point is I hope we don't get attacked again by those pos's... that's all.. if you read more into it then sorry i should have been more clear.
100% happy this scum is dead!!

Happened almost a week ago. DNA takes a while... wish he was taken alive.

Can't say that I agree with you. Alive, I think he would still be able to carry out his tactics and strategies albeit from inside a prison cell and in a much diminished capacity, but dead, he's nothing more than a decomposing body and I wouldn't give it back! Hell, throw it in a NY landfill and let the buzzards pick it apart! I hope the troops that got him were atleast able to get a trophy photo much like a trophy buck. Perhaps even a photo of them pissing on the dead body! Sorry but I lost 343 brother firefighters as well as the civilian and military personnel who were victims of this POS. Ketchum, I'm sorry for your loss.

Looks like it was an operation on the ground by special forces, he was killed (shot) in a mansion in Pakistan.

So sorry to read such a sad post Harry, put a lump in my throat, thoughts are with you

Is it spelled ..... Usama Bin Laden ? or Osama Bin Laden ?

Ok.... who cares ! The SOB is dead !

Is it spelled ..... Usama Bin Laden ? or Osama Bin Laden ?

Ok.... who cares ! The SOB is dead !

:thumbsup:

Marines

I know a good taxidermist.

That's a good idea!!! Mount the SOB and put him on display in the White House. Start a trophy room for terrorists. ;cool;

Think I called everyone I knew. Every message board I read as well as facebook is going crazy right now. I've lost 3 friends I went to school with in the past 10 years in the war on terror, think I may go mix a drink for them. This is a good fuc*ing day to be an American.

I would love to say thank you and shake the hands of those special ops!

Wonder how far our special ops were in Pakistan?


Far enough!!!!

The number of troops killed since 9/11 is 4700, not 47,000.....still a CRAZY high number....bring them ALL home...bin laden dead?.....mixed feelings....he got what was coming to him but he lived almost 11 more years?....sad to see our world so splintered, angry and the usual "us vs. them".....

How did he die?? I hope it was from a US bullet... :tht_rulez::tht_rulez::tht_rulez:

He lost his footing when his walker slipped on the cliff side due to loose rocks while he was out for his morning stroll from the bat cave.....


Glad he is down...... no excuse for taking so long except BS politics.

How is it a chicken shit statement? It's a.fact they will come after us... I am happy as Hell that pos is dead , I wish I could have put tge bullet in him. Point is I hope we don't get attacked again by those pos's... that's all.. if you read more into it then sorry i should have been more clear.
100% happy this scum is dead!!

You did not say you thought it was a good thing that Bin Laden was dead. By itself your original post below was a chikens**t statement:

"Now we are going to get attacked hard core.. its bitter sweet I pray that 9/11 does not happen again"

Sounds like from that like you feel we are provoking them by striking back and that perhaps we should have just left him alone.
We can never let our response be dulled by intimidation attempts from our enemies.

Good to hear that you are happy that he is dead.

2 Helicopters of Navy Seals were sent in, killed 2 couriers, Osama, one of Osama's sons and not sure if I heard correctly but also a woman who was acting as a human shield. Looks like we're denying the claims that this was a joint effort with Pakistan.

Wish I had some fireworks to wake up the neighbors.

Knock Knock..... Who's There?!?!? SPECIAL FORCES BIATCH!

They should put him on the shuttle and blast his ass into space. That would epic!!!!!!!

Or cement him into a time capsule in the foundation of the WTC memorial

Remember, you heard it here first!

Buried at sea in accordance with Islamic tradition. Hopefully as chum.

Happy the US Navy SEAL team got him!

So sorry for your loss

Hope they ground his sorry ass up before dumping him in the water or at least let Chris Fischer and his crew take him for bait for the Great Whites to feast on

I know terrorism will not go away but I think this cuts the head off the snake for the time being

CONGRATS to the Special Forces, reporting on Fox he was shot in the head:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Also confirming it was a Navy Seal Team, boys are bad ASS

They are also reporting that he was living in a "mansion" not a cave with 18' walls around his compound and the Pakistanis knew he was there since 2005

HEADSHOT......BOOM..........
Many thanks to our military especially the NAVY SEALS that took the life of this worthless terrorist.........

Great news. Have you noticed the price of oil has already dropped over a dollar. Lets hope it keeps going.

http://radiopatriot.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/001us_navy_seals_insignia111-vi.png

Buried at sea? Is that what they call water boarding now? I bet he is being the victim of information extraction as we speak. Either way, good catch US NAVY SEALS.;cool;

I understand we all should think this is good... and it is... in some respects. But mostly it is bad.

If he's guilty of what they say he is, and he's dead. It's great.

But keep in mind. of the following. This make Obama stronger, makes them (the alleged enemy) hate us more, and will likely cause an unfounded high-point in our economy which will make the bottom worse.

Sorry for the dose of realty during the jubilation, but somebody has to keep their head on straight.

And that's if you really believe they got "him" and if you believe it was "him" who was behind it all. But that's another story.

Yeah, hope they wrapped him in bacon before they dumped hiim off the ship:thumbsup:

OOORAH Navy Seals Group..

great job!

hand salute

What color is the sky on your planet?

So the 25 million bounty money for his head goes to Who?

They should reward the seals that got him!

I hope the troops that got him were atleast able to get a trophy photo much like a trophy buck.

They should make a New deck of cards, a deck that has 53 cards in it! And that 53rd card shows fuchead's head on a stick taking a 50 mil through the side of the head. :grin: > :thumbsup:

But mostly it is bad.

Mostly bad??? For who? our enemies? F'em. We didn't built $trillion military to be cowards. The economy is collateral damage. Our enemies can't hate us any more than they already do, wake up.

Reality? who's? yours? no thanks

Your mentality is in part what is wrong with the world today, people like you don't want to hold others accountable for their actions.

The US and The Navy Seals held Osama accountable for his actions and he paid the ultimate price. It's a great day to be an AMERICAN.

CIA, not seals, great job!

I hope he had the time to let the realization hit him that the USA had paid a house call.

President Obama says hello and then boom to the head. Probably too easy way out for him.

A couple of shots to the gut and let him writhe in pain for a while, then the gatifying head shot.

Anyway, what a great day.

To all of you that are scared that this will bring more attacks, I say bring it on. We are more prepared than ever and if they want to fight, come get some.

This is a great time for America. I am particularly proud of our young people who turned out all over America to show their support. Singing The Star Stangled Banner at Penn State, saying the pledge of Alligence in NYC (and including "under God"), mixed ages and races embracing, including what might have been some Muslims.
Great stuff!!!!!!! Let's get some more.

I am very sorry for your loss. I think I know the mixed emotions you are feeling. We lost my stepson in Iraq and he would not have been there in the first place if not for Bin Laden. I could not be happier that the son of a bitch is dead, but it certainly makes me reflect on the death and pain he has been responsible for.

It must be especially hard for you as your wife was an innocent in all of this and a victim of the attack that set everything in motion that has happened in the last 10 years. Both of you will be in my prayers.

Great news. My thanks and prayers go out to those who serve.

God bless those who died at OBL's hands as well as those fighting "his" ways directly and indirectly.

Pete, in reflection, I had many pro and con thoughts last night. In the end, my God is vengeful and I'm willing to live with the consequences. Strategically, eliminating Bin Laden may or may not make a difference, it's simply something that needed to be done.

Yes, Obama will take credit for this, his personal gain will be short lived. More importantly, the world knows no matter who is President, we will not stop, we will be dissuaded.

We are at war. We are in it to win it!

Sorry, not buying your dose of reality. They are not the alleged enemy, they ARE the enemy and you think they are gonna hate us even more? So before this they only sorta hated us? You need to get your head on straight.

Interesting news. Of course his brother Obama will take credit. An outstanding job performed by the best of the best. (I hope the news accounts are true). Shows what can be done by a group of highly trained professionals somewhat unfettered by our "commander in chief".

Me, I'm staying away from airplanes and densely populated sewers like New York for the next few years. The repercussions will also increase the activities of the cretins at TSA, so good luck flying. This is a great opportunity for the present administration to clamp down on our freedoms in the name of security.

'Eff em. They have been trying to hit us for nearly a decade since 9-11 and have not succeeded. The fact that the guy is dead IS great news.

I was surprised by the amount of emotions I had after hearing about the raid and getting the asshole. Finally. A small justice for the thousands killed on 9/11 and the resulting wars.

I have an engineer who works for me that came from Pakistan as a teenager. His family left for a better life (farther was a physician). Nice guy and a Muslum. He talks about how the masses in that country have very little or no education. They live it tribes/villages and without many other options become brainwashed on the radical teachings. Heck, if I was told since I was a kid that I would get 100 virgins for doing something stupid I might end up believing it. We will always be fighting people that hate us for what we have and who we are. There won't be a way to negotiate peace...

God bless the USA!

great prayer dave!!

these people have hated us for a long time before osama was dead and will hate us a long time after hes gone. they have been trying to kill christians, americans, infidels for years. this whole we shouldnt be happy because now they ll hate us more is pretty rediculous. it does suck that obummer gets to take credit for it but i dont think its really gonna help all that much.

good job Navy SEALS:thumbsup:

I know the guy was anti to all we believe in, but the vengeance I've read here sounds almost like what one would hear from his followers.
Don't get me wrong, I'm as glad as the rest of the world he's dead, but...........

one thing that bothers me about this is we buried the guy at sea very quickly in line with his religion??? why? did him or his other jihadist buddies ever give that kind of courtesy to an american they captured?? what about those soilders dragged through the streets in somalia?? what about those buried in the rubble of WTC for weeks, months??? they shouldve brought his ass back here and hung him up for us americans to dance around like wild indians and then put his pecker in his mouth so those virgins that are supposedly waiting for him got nothing to play with. screw him and his religious beliefs, giving respect the religious belief that led him to kill americans....just doesnt make sense to me

This has to be the dumbest post I have ever read. Vengeance? People are just happy a guy is dead who has the blood of thousands of people on his hands.

Because we are better than them.... Part of me wants to fly his ass into a Saudi bldg then cut off his head.... But then we would be just as bad as those barbarians....

Bottom line - every terrorist needs to know that if u attack the US that you are basically a dead man....

God bless our men on the front lines - :thumbsup:

Clearly I'm out numbered. LOL. Carry on. LOL. But know this, if you think we've won a single thing as a result of this, you're dreaming. We haven't won anything... nor will we.

Who's economy is in the tank as a result of the trillions spent on this wannabe war?
Who's nation is having their rights taken away one at a time because of this?
Who's children are going to have to pay for this?

But yeah. We're winning. You keep telling yourselves that. Just like I'm certain you think we won WW2, Vietnam, Korea, and every other "war" we've been in.

Go get in your Honda or Toyota, and keep typing on your communist built computers. LOL.

But yeah, we won. We got "him". We should put him next to Saddam... another one we "got"... how did that do for us? Are we out of the there yet? Heck, are we out of Korea yet!??! LOL.

Wow, I understand the need for unity and the need to parade in the street that we "got him" -- but in reality, we didn't get anyone or anything. We're exactly where we were before, and this isn't going to change a thing.

Wake up before what little we have left of this awesome country goes bye-bye too.

Here is a story (http://www.worldstory.net/en/stories/chicken_little.html) for you Pete.:rofl::rofl:

Question -

Not trying to start anything - just curious if you have experianced living outside of the country...

:grin:

Pete,

I understand where you're coming from, BUT.....

Before WW2 we were an isolationist country. In your opinion, how far should we have allowed Japan and Germany get before we got involved? Wasn't Pearl Harbor enough or should we have waited till they got on American soil.

Is the war on terrorism good for our economy? Maybe, considering the possibility of a nuke in NYC. Do most people want to be putting our resources and our young men and women in harms way to police the world? I don't think so. Is everything we are do right and correct? no, I don't think so.

I understand we all should think this is good... and it is... in some respects. But mostly it is bad.

So what should we have done? It is so easy to see the downside of everything.

Shit gets done almost exclusively by peope who see the upside

Here is a story (http://www.worldstory.net/en/stories/chicken_little.html) for you Pete.:rofl::rofl:

Did you use that one when people were telling you the housing bubble was coming and you didn't believe it either. LOL.

Put your head back in the sand, you're going to get hurt.

Who's economy is in the tank as a result of the trillions spent on this wannabe war?
Who's nation is having their rights taken away one at a time because of this?
Who's children are going to have to pay for this?




Pete - your points are debatable. The war/terrorism excuse is only convenient. If it wasn't used something else would have been resulting in the same outcome. Our liberties are being systematically taken away by design. Our gov't is making it so that as many people are dependent on it as possible. When every economist in the world knows the answers to our problems yet nothing is done, it is most certainly the planned outcome.

What we should have done is pretty much the complete opposite of what we have done.

Agree 100%...the NWO is inevitable....

Do tell, what is ths opposite of taking out Bin Laden?

I am asking about a very specific event here. I would never argue that everything is hunky dory, but how can you talk about the downside of taking out this murderer? Truth be told, I probably agree with a ton of what you think (saddam WMD was a clear lie from the start), but you cannot argue that we needed to eliminate Bin Laden when we got our window.

I agree we did not just cripple any terror organization, and we will see blowback. That said, what should we have done?

I have a soft spot for prisoners. I was hoping that they could catch him alive. Then give him a blood transfusion from a pig. That should disgrace him. Then when he died from that, grind up his remains and feed him to pigs! I am SO glad they got the bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mike

Pete,

If your view of the world we live in is that fuzzy it is time to seek professional counseling.

Pretty soon you will not be able to tell day from night. Or perhaps this is all just a dream.

Let me RESTATE what I had said, There have been over 47000 wounded or killed in the fight against terrorist. Very high price to pay for this mF. Lets go get the next one! OOH RAH!

The number of troops killed since 9/11 is 4700, not 47,000.....still a CRAZY high number....bring them ALL home...bin laden dead?.....mixed feelings....he got what was coming to him but he lived almost 11 more years?....sad to see our world so splintered, angry and the usual "us vs. them".....

Burial at sea for that SOB....

That's OK... I'll grin every time I'll relieve myself overboard. :grin:

I just want a picture so I can pee on it. Or use it to wipe the shiite away.

DNA test just came back....... 99.9% that it was him.

I am sure it will get "leaked" at some point.

Let me RESTATE what I had said, There have been over 47000 wounded or killed in the fight against terrorist. Very high price to pay for this mF. Lets go get the next one! OOH RAH!

Where are you getting 47,000?

DNA test just came back....... 99.9% that it was him.

Do tell, what is ths opposite of taking out Bin Laden?

I am asking about a very specific event here. I would never argue that everything is hunky dory, but how can you talk about the downside of taking out this murderer? Truth be told, I probably agree with a ton of what you think (saddam WMD was a clear lie from the start), but you cannot argue that we needed to eliminate Bin Laden when we got our window.

I agree we did not just cripple any terror organization, and we will see blowback. That said, what should we have done?

We should have learned from Japan, Korea, and China. We should have kept all our machines war at home (to defend us if needed) and destroyed them on an economic front... just like Japan and China did and is doing to us. Wars, as fought today, are a total waste of time. 100%, period - end of story. You want to cripple a nation for real? Destroy their economy. Spend the effort and man hours that we've spent on the "war" achieving that "mission" and THEN you'll see true victory. We could have benefited our Nation greatly as a result of the tragedy behind 9/11, instead who benefited? Cheney and the Chimp?

If you don't think it's true, take a look at China. Or has EVERYONE forgotten that they were our sworn enemy (Communists) -- remember Vietnam? Why did we go there? Ok then.

I boggles my mind when I hear the extremists talk about "those commies" and how "Ronnie had it right about the commies"... and then they wipe their hands on their "Made in China" T-Shirt with the American flag screen printed on it. LOL.

Heres just one of the places that you will see alot of stats. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CCoQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fusliberals.about.com%2Fod%2Fhomel andsecurit1%2Fa%2FIraqNumbers.htm&ei=_Ny-TZ6QGYm3twfP5f3jBQ&usg=AFQjCNEShIzEu41KimwNg7QiOtObi8F4OQ

Keep in mind this is just in Iraq and not all the numbers in other countries. I get my figures from a lot of sources including some of my friends still active duty. Its not just about the amount of people that have died, it is also about the several thousand milatary men and women that are injured daily. Not to mention the families that have been effected!! For those that say klling Bin Ladin isn't a win, I suggest you check yourself and become a little more supportive of your freedoms!!!!!!!:o

Also for those that say liberating a country is nothing, hmmmm. Enough said! There are hundreds of thousands of people that are very happy that we killed Saddam, just like there will be a lot happy when we kill Gadaffi! The USA is now international and will always be in the future. Anyone who believes otherwise is living in the past!

Pete,


So how do you go about destroying the economy of a terrorist organization? We have done all possible in terms of cash flow control on this front. It has minimal effect.

How do you destroy the economy of Afghanistan? Turn it into a dirt poor country? Wait, it's already there.

I agree that conventional warfare has very limited effect; however, your thesis that economic warfare is the new frontier doesn't have any teeth in terms of effective implementation. It sounds good from the lecturn, but it can't be put into any cogent, effective practice. The Chinese aren't kicking our ass by design, we're handing it to them. What, you expect them to say "looky folks, we don't want you to kneel before us?".

Well there is still that .1% uncertainty that it wasn't him. That will be more than enough to set off conspiracy theories.

Any organization is harbored somewhere. A "somewhere" is usually located in a country. A country (as "dirt poor" as you may think it is) has an economy that is important to the residents of the country. You gain control of whatever variables control that economy. It doesn't matter if the country trades in rabbits or gold bars. You can destabilize it. Either with little condoms for rabbits, or the way it's been done to us. ;)

Not much money in it for the war mongers this way... so that might explain things. ;)

I disagree. I think the Internet is the only thing that can save our country (create unity among like-minded people).

And if we turn off the TV people might just look around and realize they're getting the shaft.
TV is nothing more than opiate for the masses.

IMHO

It's a good thing Osama had his internet shut off. Of course he did believe that TV and internet was evil--unless it could be used to blow-up infidels.

Pete,
You are a great guy, and gave me some great boating advice, but I can't agree with you here.
My whole family, especially my grandparents have been in the military. My mom and dad are the only two that haven't. While I may agree that war and killing isn't always the solution, our persistence in this caused us to kill the biggest image of terrorism in the world. I am currently in the NAVY reserve and in 3 years after I am done sailing I am going to go active duty coast guard for search and rescue and drug interdiction. As you can tell, I prefer search and save over search and destroy, but you NEED to be supportive of our troops. We lost quite a few friends in 9/11 (I live in NY) and some of our friends have lost immediate family members. You have to see that we are not wasting our time with this battle. I fully understand where you are coming from, but please don't make it seem like were wasting our time here.

Water-boarding and its related techniques worked. That was how we got the break. It sure took a long time to follow up...

We should declare "mission accomplished" and withdraw from Afghanistan immediately.

OK, what did I miss?
Media reports say Usama was killed on Sunday, and that DNA testing has confirmed it's really him.
Last I knew, DNA testing takes 7 days....
What's wrong with the math here...?

They are comparing his DNA to his sisters, she was here for an operation and she died. They removed her brain and kept it !!


DAMN I thought everyone would be happy I AM :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

He had a very large family and that is all they needed. DNA testing can be done quite quickly the more advanced test take some additional time. I would assume they will test his sample for every thing possible but quick testing for identification is what has been reported.

That's too generic. Again, it sounds good, but putting it into actual practice would be difficult, if not impossible.

And what would be the geopolitical difference in terms of wrecking a country with bombs, or wrecking its economy? None. The detractors would still be as large and adamant as ever.

I am happy. Just didn't know what they would compare his DNA to. Let's just not forget about how the entire scenario fell into place. It began with capturing Al-querra operatives in Iraq and then shipping them to G' Bay. Then water-boarding their sorry asses.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

We have had this info since water-boarding was outlawed. That was quite sometime ago.

Remember--those in charge were entirely against all of the above. I guess they changed their minds.

Being happy is not what I meant--I am satisfied that justice was served.

Not arguing the #'s..... I saw those and they were saying 32,051 wounded, 4,444 being deaths.

I don't want to see a number there at all, was just curious if you had another feed I hadn't seen.

The possibility of a nuke in NYC. Really now? Did you believe Saddam had WMDs too?

You didn't answer the main question. Good job at taking an example out of context. How bout the possibility of flying commercial jet airliners into two of the largest buildings in the world and completely destroying them while killing almost 3000 occupants? Is that also a far fetched scenario?

Nuke in NYC, if you don't think it's possible, then you're the one with his "head in sand".

WMD, sure he had them. Of course it depends on your definition of WMD. Did he have what the CIA (or whoever) say he had? I don't think so. I also don't think it matters, but that's another discussion.

It's been fun, I've got to go back to moving furniture for my ex.

I like to think that Obama has actually adopted water-boarding seeing as he has adopted government sanctioned hits (which I thought our Congress outlawed).

Perhaps, Osama is going to die from a gunshot to his left eye after the water-boarding and keel hauling is finished on the USS Carl Vinson.

I like to think that Obama has actually adopted water-boarding seeing as he has adopted government sanctioned hits (which I thought our Congress outlawed). .

Actually this was the Joe Biden approach that supposedly Obama rejected. JB said forget about boots on the ground and unwinable attrition war in Asia (as have many many Generals over the years) and stop the unwinable wars on ideas and concepts (terrorism, dictator, religions Autocrats and the non Democratic stuff) end overt regime changes, nation building and get serious about tracking down and killing terrorists with the CIA and Special Ops. This is where we seem to be heading with Patreaus going to the CIA. Good for Biden and Obama and good for us.

I assume the following pertains to our new terrorist response policy and not our desire to remake the world in our own image:


"Several Special Ops sources say that President Obama has taken concrete steps to once again integrate JSOC more fully into the broader US military strategy globally. The bin Laden operation, which was done in concert with the CIA, seems to be evidence of that. The primacy of JSOC within the Obama administration's foreign policy--from Yemen and Somalia to Afghanistan and Pakistan--indicates that he has doubled down on the Bush-era policy of targeted assassination as a staple of US foreign policy."

All I am thinking after watching this is DAMN, Iraq was a costly time delaying diversion. And - all 19 911 Hijackers were from Saudi Arabia and one from UAR and we spent all this time in a War against Afghans and Iraqis - what a freegin waste of lives and money and never once even thought about actions against Saudi Arabia - Bush or Obama.

So how do you destroy the economy of a bunch of people living caves? You do realize these people are bottom feeder who don't have a country.

You watch too much television, maybe you should spend some time looking at the "caves" people in Afganistan live in. LOL. Some people in the US still use outhouses... so does that mean we all do? LOL.

They believed that GW was going to "fight the wer on terrer" and even believed that we "Mission Accomplished" and all the other crap. Heck, there are still people (as shown in this thread) that think Saddam had WMDs. Saddam was lucky if he had a blender. LOL. I'm waiting for the "We got Him" magnets made in China to come out.

Current and former U.S. officials say that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (http://www.foxnews.com/topics/politics/khalid-shaikh-mohammed.htm#r_src=ramp), the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, provided the nom de guerre of one of bin Laden's most trusted aides. The CIA got similar information from Mohammed's successor, Abu Faraj al-Libi. Both were subjected to harsh interrogation tactics inside CIA prisons in Poland and Romania.

I am sure pics will be posted but it is HIM from the pic I have seen

Change the subject a little........

I am all for giving all those Seals a “Congressional Medal Of Honor“. They deserve it for the great results.

Pete, not trying to start a debate here,,, BUT it would be naive of you or any other American to think this is not a possibility in NYC or any other major metropolitan city.

Have you ever heard of a "suitcase nuke?" According to the former Russia National Security Advisor Russia developed such weapons and some of their sutecase or backpack nuke inventory cannot be accounted for.

Unfortunately, there are a significant number of people/groups in this world that would like nothing more than to kill as many Americans as possible. Of that number, there is a minority percentage that not only have the will, but they have the rescources to pose a very serious threat. I am of the belief that there is a strong possibility that hypothetical senario of a nuclear weapon being detonated inside this country will occur within our lifetime.

Ok - my rant is done....

At least the wait is over to go get him. I wonder what it was that triggerd the need to go get him last night? Was Obama afreaid the Donald was going to rank him out about that? Or did he already do that .

Ok. Let's say you're right. And let's say it could happen. And who knows, maybe it could. Let's ask ourselves a very simple question.

Why now? Why, until now, has our Nation not been under this kind of "threat". What has changed? We're still The USA, we're still 50 states, we haven't gone and tried to overtake Mexico or anything. So what has changed?

Do you *think* that maybe, just maybe there may be policies in place, in recent history, that have made it more salient for these things to occur? If so, what happened? What can we do?

Nahhhhhh... Let's just keep talking about how "we got him" -- LOL. Yeah, you got "him". LOL. Geesh.

It doesn't scare the crap out of you that it took almost a decade to "get him" and that we still don't have anything where the WTC once stood? Really? We should have WTCII built twice as tall (not literally) and started formulating a plan to destroy the enemy the same way our enemies are destroying us.

Think maybe you should change your name to Drinks Kool aid.

How about these colors never stop hunting your ass down when you kill 3000 plus of our people!

How about justice is served for the plan that he put together years ago to blow up two buildings in the USA.

Its not temporary moral boost for those that lost someone in 911 or the thousands that have been mamed or killed in the years since 911 fighting to keep terrorist from doing it again. Its not a temporary moral boost for the thousands of service men and women that are putting there lives on the line everyday to protect your freedoms. Alot of our soldiers have given limbs to get this guy and many others. Think maybe you should remember that!!!!!!!!

Do you think that it is a conspiracy? You talk about how bad you think the presidency is now, you must seem to forget that Bush is the one that commited our troops to oversees for a long time. He also was in terrible shape during his second term. The fact is that, we finally found him and got him. Turn it into what ever political stunt you want, but I don't think the Navy Seal that shot him, didn't ask him would you rather be shot by a democrat or a republican!!!!!!!!!!

Tell you what, if you haven't put your life on the line for this country, you have know right to judge the ones that do. This has everything to do with the people that have died since 911. If your a former service member or are inlisted, you know what this means atleast to the guys serving.

And for those that lost loved ones in the 911 attacks, this is a good day. Will it bring them back? No! But this is a form of justice, wether it be 2 yrs or 10, we got the soab for what he did.

Guess for us stupid fokes, justice goes along way! Good day! Sincerily Former Marine:thumbsup:

By the way, OLDPETE, I could hide in the woods here in Kentucky very easily and not be found for ten years! Just saying.

How about these colors never stop hunting your ass down when you kill 3000 plus of our people!

How about justice is served for the plan that he put together years ago to blow up two buildings in the USA.

Its not temporary moral boost for those that lost someone in 911 or the thousands that have been mamed or killed in the years since 911 fighting to keep terrorist from doing it again. Its not a temporary moral boost for the thousands of service men and women that are putting there lives on the line everyday to protect your freedoms. Alot of our soldiers have given limbs to get this guy and many others. Think maybe you should remember that!!!!!!!!

Do you think that it is a conspiracy? You talk about how bad you think the presidency is now, you must seem to forget that Bush is the one that commited our troops to oversees for a long time. He also was in terrible shape during his second term. The fact is that, we finally found him and got him. Turn it into what ever political stunt you want, but I don't think the Navy Seal that shot him, didn't ask him would you rather be shot by a democrat or a republican!!!!!!!!!!

Tell you what, if you haven't put your life on the line for this country, you have know right to judge the ones that do.

Guess for us stupid fokes, justice goes along way! Good day! Sincerily Former Marine:thumbsup:



i guess for you stupid folks you missed the part where i said i wasnt debating the sacrifice of those in the line of duty nor was i debating or neglecting the pain suffered by those whove lost.

what size shirt will you be ordering? youve literally proved my point beyond perfection. nothing you said makes one bit of sense. i particularly love the line about the navy seal asking him whether he was a republican or democratic bullet? where in the hell did that come from because nothing i said related to political parties in any conceiveable way whatsoever

btw where are you from in louisville? im going to guess somewhere along dixie highway where all the gun ranges are...

U guys wake the F up already.... This just didnt start and it wont end.....

Come on....please??????

Ohh, not the case at all! I did notice that it was the smallest thing that you said in your post, trying not to be veiwed as insensitive I guess!

How did I prove your point when all my points are why we killed this guy 10 years later?

Your comment was directed at trashing obama. So I assumed that you were saying it was done because obama needed a political boost! What a joke!!

By the way, if your going to quote me, you should get the quote right, or just stick and paste,lol

I don't go to gun ranges, I was qualified as an expert shot in the Marines, now that I don't shoot at people, there isn't much of a need! Dixie hwy is actually on the opposite side of town, but there is a range very close to my home. Thanks for asking:roll

i guess for you stupid folks you missed the part where i said i wasnt debating the sacrifice of those in the line of duty nor was i debating or neglecting the pain suffered by those whove lost.

what size shirt will you be ordering? youve literally proved my point beyond perfection. nothing you said makes one bit of sense. i particularly love the line about the navy seal asking him whether he was a republican or democratic bullet? where in the hell did that come from because nothing i said related to political parties in any conceiveable way whatsoever

So how many US citizens were killed? Yes, more attempts will be coming but give our intelligence credit for stopping what they have since 9-11.

Go ahead and live in fear.......that is one goal of the terrorists. I say bring it on.

Good going Navy Seals and 'eff the terrorists.:thumbsup:

:

My point was that someone on this thread claims our "recent" policies had something to do with this aggression against our country - I was trying to show that this is nothing new... Hell, the Arabs have been blowing up British assets 100's of years ago - its what they do...

I am elated that we popped OBL,,, and I am ALL for going after anyone that targets US Citizens at home or abroad.... No living in fear here :thumbsup:

Why are there not more attacks against Israel - Cause they know the response will be massive.... Thats how u treat them....

They need to make a statue of him at the zoo and let the monkeys throw shit at it

Man! We can butt heads all day, but at the end of the day... I agree... I could easily have a bunch of beers with you! :thumbsup:


scary

:rofl:


:thumbsup:

Ok. Let's say you're right. And let's say it could happen. And who knows, maybe it could. Let's ask ourselves a very simple question.

Why now? Why, until now, has our Nation not been under this kind of "threat". What has changed? We're still The USA, we're still 50 states, we haven't gone and tried to overtake Mexico or anything. So what has changed?

Do you *think* that maybe, just maybe there may be policies in place, in recent history, that have made it more salient for these things to occur? If so, what happened? What can we do?

Nahhhhhh... Let's just keep talking about how "we got him" -- LOL. Yeah, you got "him". LOL. Geesh.

It doesn't scare the crap out of you that it took almost a decade to "get him" and that we still don't have anything where the WTC once stood? Really? We should have WTCII built twice as tall (not literally) and started formulating a plan to destroy the enemy the same way our enemies are destroying us.

I am not sure what that tirade was all about... :roll My point was simple, if you live life in denial, life just might unexpectedly bite you in the ass. The devil has many faces and there have been devils throughout history, not just recent history. Killing Osama was GREAT sure, but it was nothing but a symbolic killing,,, chopping off one head of a monster that has many.

There are a few things in this world that scare me, one is the thought of losing my wife, child, brother, sister, or friend due to the actions of one of these religious whacko's. I only hope to god that if the "bomb" goes off in DC, that I called in sick to work that day to go fishing. :)

My client/firend who is a DHS Agent sent me this today.

http://www.thehulltruth.com/members/just1more-albums-mcllc-picture53415-gameover.jpg

Thank you to the brave men and women that serve in our armed services, it's deeply appreciated.

We should declare "mission accomplished" and withdraw from Afghanistan immediately.

Bruce

:thumbsup:

I think Hitler also died on May 1st.

Yup,its the day he was declared dead. Weird

My sweet wife Allison who was lost on the 104th floor of the south tower can rest now. So happy he is gone but still so sad my wife was taken from me.
Harry

I can't even imagine the grief, I hope your dear wife will rest better now. Please accept my condolences 10 years later.

BTW they are up to 64 floors on the freedom tower

Damn glad to hear this, I lost three freinds in 9/11 (two in NY and one in DC)....but as everybody says......

To those that would say we should pull back and defend our shores, I ask this. Where is the list of demands? There isn't one. The list is sociopathic, corrupt, religious zealots want to be free to pillage the land (oil) and force others to live by their rules. All in the name of religion. Allowing this "organization" to grow and evolve unrestrained is a recipe for future disaster. While he is one man, he is their leader. He is also likely the smartest of the bunch (note he was with the ladies in Pakistan while the boys were sweating it out in a nasty cave with marine snipers on their ass). When you take him out, the organization becomes more emotional and less intelligent. They will make more mistakes - it's definitional. Unlike most organizations, let's face it, the bench is not very deep here when it comes to brains. My last observation is that I am sick of hearing about the notion that we just piss off the snake whenever we exact revenge and that these guys are "crazy". I think of a time not so long ago when a "crazy" enemy used to fly planes into our ships when they ran out of ammo. We burned their shadows into the sides of buildings and now it's a nice place to visit.

When Islamic terrorists give us a list of demands that says - "we will stop trying to knock down 300+ floors of buildings in downtown manhattan when ....", I would consider it. Until then, I would rather have them sweat it out at the business end of our boys weapon of choice. The reality is that the real policy decision is too tough. The fact that Pakistan , SA and others quietly support the fundamentalist cause is our real problem.

Sorry for the dislocated rant.

To those that would say we should pull back and defend our shores, I ask this. Where is the list of demands? There isn't one. The list is sociopathic, corrupt, religious zealots want to be free to pillage the land (oil) and force others to live by their rules. All in the name of religion. Allowing this "organization" to grow and evolve unrestrained is a recipe for future disaster. While he is one man, he is their leader. He is also likely the smartest of the bunch (note he was with the ladies in Pakistan while the boys were sweating it out in a nasty cave with marine snipers on their ass). When you take him out, the organization becomes more emotional and less intelligent. They will make more mistakes - it's definitional. Unlike most organizations, let's face it, the bench is not very deep here when it comes to brains. My last observation is that I am sick of hearing about the notion that we just piss off the snake whenever we exact revenge and that these guys are "crazy". I think of a time not so long ago when a "crazy" enemy used to fly planes into our ships when they ran out of ammo. We burned their shadows into the sides of buildings and now it's a nice place to visit.

The one demand we hear all the time is remove the infidels troops from Muslim countries... and I am all over that. We should go back to bombings and surgical raids on terrorists. Oh and we should stop all this aid as well, I just read this from a Pakistani journalist:

"Pakistanis want to be free of the chokehold of western aid"

I say let's go ahead and free them from that awful chokehold of aid as well.

Why did we wait 2 years?

Justice served. But--why risk soldiers lives in country searching for Osama when we had a good idea for 2 years where he was?

There's an older gent who lives near me that has a son about as high up as you can go in the black ops department. Not the business end but rather the thinking and electronics end.
We were having breakfast this morning at the local greasy spoon and he was relating how he called his son and asked how come we took so long to smoke Bin Laden if we knew he was there. His son told him that we knew where he was far before last August but that we didn't pop him because he had "value". In other words thing were being learned by just watching him.

Obviously, that value has run out......

Well if that is true--we are being fed a pack of lies. The value ran out because Trump needed trumping? I don't like being lied to. I'd rather have silence. There is inherent value in every soldier that died in those 2 years.

In the words of Col. Jessup...

"You want the truth? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"

The truth is that announcing the "treasure trove" we captured has caused all the squirrels to go to ground.

The intel will have little value for future kills (unless this op happened earlier--which I doubt.) Silence sometimes works both ways.

A military op in Pakistan: so some people heard helicopters and gunfire? No news there. OBL's network probably did not know where he was. A few weeks of silence could have reaped tremendous benefit. Just sayin'

Who gets the credit?

^^ A politician getting credit is obviously the most important thing here. Soldiers' lives, intel and future prevention of American civilian casualties are not.

don't forget Obama was no too long ago DEBATING WHETHER TO PAY the soldiers that just killed bin laden. Think ab that for while.

Don't you think that maybe in the year or so that we have been following that courier around the Middle East, he might have led us some other places? Remember that we followed him to Bin Laden's house as early as August of 2010. Wonder where that trip started and what other stops he might have made?;) We only announced Bin laden's demise because he is one of the handful of top Al Qaeda guys who we HAVE to announce as being dead. The tricky one will be Al- Zawahiri because he is apparently still more involved in the operational side than Bin Laden was so he moves around a lot.

I hope so. But, I fear that only time forced our Pres to finally pull the trigger. It was probably about to be exposed. Too many people knew. Look at the huge number of gov't personnel already described as being involved since August.

Incidentaly: some of the choppers used are only being operated by the 160th SOAR (army). What is up with that? This info was released on day one. Plenty more involved than what has been reported. Like I said: no one would have noticed if the op was carried out and not announced (things going KaBoom in the night are common there). Especially Al Querra--they were not on OBL's need to know list. Would not this approach bring a greater chance at capping Al-Zawaheebegeebee? After all, they all are on the move now. Whereas, if carried out in silence--they would not know what was comming.

Missed opportunity for a photo op.

Kudos need to be given to the 160th Task Force (Night Stalkers). They are the ones who flew the Seals in. Finally, the Pentagon is acknowledging the Army's involvement. As I said above--too many agencies involved--it forced the pres' hand. It was bound to become public.

Kudos for the 160th! Hoaah!

for the record that "picture" of bin laden "dead" is a photoshop. It was another man who was shot with bin laden's face placed on the bottom half. Jus sayinn, alot of my friends thought it was real

Don't have to show it anymore anyway....

Al Qaeda admits he is dead.

I have no doubt OBL is dead. When I referred to forcing the prez hand. I was referring to getting the courage to make the call. It took forever. It was imminent that it was going to be leaked--a proliferation of government types of all ilk have been involved since Sept. Many since Jan. 2010.
