and my point was that it's hardly justice at all...You all are missing the point. (From what I've read of this thread so far.)
The president and everyone in the counter-terrorism biz are not denying that there are many other, more dangerous people still out there. The point was that this was a morale-boosting, long overdue accomplishment that needed to happen. It's a rallying point and a bit of good news in a world of fear-mongering media outlets that focus on the negatives.
No one's saying mission accomplished. But justice has been done against one evil man who was a figurehead for an fucking evil group of people.
And nothing about how this announcement was made will alter those psychopath extremists' views on Bin Laden's 'martyr' status. If the guy died from a rupturing bowel movement they'd find a way to look at him as a martyr. And I don't really think they could hate america or the rest of the free world more than they already do, so I disagree with the notion that this was handled poorly.
999,999,999.Now they must eliminate the other 1billion terrorists and then the world will rejoice drinking tea and eating cracker's.
My guess is those are all males...mayby some of those people he sent to blow themselves up....oh but doesn't their holy book say that suicide is a sure way to damnation?i hope he's enjoying his 70 virginians.
As far as I know, the secret service of Pakistan was part of the operation. Also, am I the only one that doesn't believe Obama when he said they were trying to arrest him? You don't accidentally put a bullet into somebody's head.I'm more concerned over what's going to happen between us and Pakistan now - we stepped all over their face to do this, and then didn't tell them until after it was done. Which I have no problem with, but they might. Populated area and all.
I just overheard a discussion about this recently. Frankly I'm of the opinion that he took up arms and opened fire. Oddly enough, you usually don't end up in custody when you start shooting at people.As far as I know, the secret service of Pakistan was part of the operation. Also, am I the only one that doesn't believe Obama when he said they were trying to arrest him? You don't accidentally put a bullet into somebody's head.
Yes, because Osama Bin Laden and his men would neeeeeever try to resist arrest when they could just start opening fire.As far as I know, the secret service of Pakistan was part of the operation. Also, am I the only one that doesn't believe Obama when he said they were trying to arrest him? You don't accidentally put a bullet into somebody's head.
