I beg to differ.

We would never conduct an airstrike to completely destroy the bird...especially in an allies front yard.

Hats off to ST6, I wish it was Delta( THATS A WHOLE OTHER CONVERSATION) but w/e we got him and he is dead..

Thank You President Obama for making the right Presidential decisions, instead of using airstrikes or working with Pakistan you sent in a small team of one of America's most elite units and they got the job done. So much for liberals being cowards

News men and women walking safely about the 'kill house".

One man was the only one on twitter the night of the attack, "sure wish the helicopter would go away, ...bad helicopter".

Reported it was a one sided firefight, strange, please explain the fight in a one sided shoot out.

SEALs were using a term called "super clearing operation", bet Obama is wishing he knew how to use that technique himself.

A lot of local people are having their doubts that OBL was actually living "next door".

Let me guess, we will now destroy and take down the compound, destroying all evidence.




Standby folks, more to come,....

What are you newbies trying to do-see who can post the most imbecilic comment?

I don't know how many liberals were on the team that shot whoever they shot, but Obama was a couple miles away, at least-right?

Ballsy?

It took 3 Presidents and the unflagging commitment of untold 'worker bees' (as Presidents came and went) to track and bring OBL to justice.

Kudos to them all.

I dont feel my comment was idiotic..

When people make statements about the Commander and Chief referring to him as " The One"
That to me is a idiotic statement.

When Bush was at a press conference and asked where Bin Laden is and his response was " I dont know where he is, i dont care where he is" Thats a Idiotic statement.

I dont know if the SEALs on the team are liberals and i wasn't implying that. Conservatives and Republican's have said over the decades Liberals are soft when it comes to using military might and are soft on terrorism, I think the evidence and the facts of recent events have clearly shown thats just not accurate.

Dude, you're over reacting. He said "imbecilic", not "idiotic". There's a difference. It's better.

I don't want to deviate this thread but I have a problem with how you are portraying that quote from President Bush. I've been hearing that quote brought up a lot on liberal talk radio, to try and make the case that UBLs end was the work of only Obama's team.

Frankly, him stating that he didn't know where UBL was and that it wasn't priority number one due to the fact that at that point he had escaped and could have been in any number of arabic nations while we were already in the middle of 2 wars, is not the same as saying he did not care.

He recognized that at that point things were much more escalated than just a one man manhunt. Simply not being priority number one while your trying to nation build does not mean that no one was working on it, obviously.

The Video of Bush's Q&A backs up what I said here, not your opinion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apLVd...eature=related

Furthermore, I don't think that one instance of "liberals not being soft on terrorism" constitutes a trend. IMHO, Obama scored a touchdown by taking out UBL but then he missed the extra point by holding on to the pictures that belong to the American people for sensitivity reasons. That is not being hard on terrorism, that is pandering to enemy.

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.

I guess we will never know what bush was thinking when he said that, your Opinion is the stance you just took. An my stance has already been made clear on what i believe.

I guess some of us kinda broke that unwritten rule of no religion no politics.

If i insulted QP's or other military members in this thread I apologize. Just because we may differ in politics doesn't mean i don't have respect for all of you because I do.


Yeah.. I didn't mean to overreact, I got keyboard commando for a second. However, in my defense to be a Imbecile and a Idiot are counterpart words to each other.

John88....I think you need to sit back and be a spectator, as a moderator I don't have the capability to shut you up...but I feel that is coming really soon. As for the others as TR referred to, if you can't contribute something of significance, don't post...you will only find yourself restricted from posting or else banned for just being an annoyance.
