I am growing weary of kids with zero military experience, and apparently very little political knowledge, spouting off on this thread with their uninformed opinions about the operation, the units involved, the numbers of personnel, the types and numbers of aircraft, the tactics, and the supremacy of the POTUS for having allowed it to take place while he watched the action unfold on TV from his office thousands of miles away.

I have just wasted the better part of thirty minutes of my evening wading through innumerable pissing contests and more than a half dozen pages of posts here which could be condensed to less than a paragraph of real substance. I am truly disappointed.

People who have the right to vote for a POTUS based on "coolness" without the common sense to pour piss out of a boot with directions on the bottom are sorely trying my patience.

Frankly, if you are not a QP here, I don't give a damn what your opinion is, or what you think might or might not have happened. You are a guest. Conduct yourself accordingly or move out and draw fire.

Hint for newbies: Contentious threads like this are probably not a good place to start padding your post count.

I don't care if Osama was shot once, twice, or a hundred times. It doesn't matter to me what type of aircraft were involved. I don't care if Osama was armed, unarmed, asleep, drunk, or on a prayer rug at the time. As long as he is dead, I am happy. None of my brothers were killed while taking out this trash. Doubly happy.

I do think there is a problem with the time line, the locations, the differing versions that seem to be emerging, and the fact that Obama may not have actually made the decision to execute. In fact, he may have put a subordinate on the spot for the decision, and yet seems to be reaping an inordinate amount of the credit for others' actions now.

If you have an informed opinion or a piece of info to offer, fine. More than happy to read it. If you think I might be referring to you, ask yourself if what you want to post really adds anything to this discussion. If not, please go back to wherever you were posting before you came here and post it there.

Just looking for the right one who fails to comprehend the above to make an example of. Easier to eliminate the problem in thirty seconds now than to put up with it for the next few dozen posts, and then have to do the same thing anyway.

Please continue.
