Barack Hussein Obama.....An AMERICAN HERO

[newmom]

Not directed at you at all.  Thanks for posting the pic!

oh I know loco, trying to laugh a little..All the things coming out..Just don't add up

[newmom]

wait wait wait..Bret Hume on Fox News just said, President didn't want to blow up the compound so the world would know it's real..wait did i hear that correctly?



I'm on the fence on buying the buried at sea bullshit

[garebear]

For all of those badmouthing Obama remember this -

Bush was playing fuckaround in Iraq all those years. He diverted countless resources to take Iraq and find Hussein. He neglected Afghanistan/Pakistan. At one point there were 50 thousand troops in Afghanistan and over 150,000 in Iraq.

Obama changed that. OBL was killed.

That's just the facts, gentlemen. Like it or not.

Obama wanted the body. If you blow it up with a bomb there would have been no proof of OBL being killed.

I doubt the US got rid of the body, but I don't doubt that they will stick with that story.

Saves on a lot of fallout that could come from 'offending Islam'.

All the hotheads on here who think it's a great idea to piss off the entire Muslim world should go their nearest recruiter and put their money where their mouths are. But they won't.

Pro, trust me, I saw it all first hand from my front lawn. Saw the devastation volunteering for 2 weeks at south street seaport. I know what devastation it caused.

Not sure where you are going with this

I agree, my shock is that he wanted the world to believe him. I'm guessing most of the world does, albeit I'm on the fence. You don't think the Muslim community isn't pissed off about this or seeing the joyous Americans dancing..Come on gare they are plotting already.

The people who are plotting against America were doing that before OBL was even killed. No need to make more of them and no need to further endanger deployed troops.

Not to mention, being offensive to Islam DOES NOT HELP relations between American forces and Islamic allies. It would be a stupid move, endangering our personnel and undermining our own pursuits, if we do something offensive to Islam because we got OBL.

Garebear, you have my respect as a military person. But if you think we shouldn't be on high alert, you're batshit nuts. This added fuel to their fire.

There will probably a bit of a recruiting bump for his 'martyrdom', but that's an unavoidable consequence of kill/capture. I don't think OBL's death is going to bring a whole bunch more people into the fight, unless we were to handle in some super-arrogant manner.

It also would have been a lot worse for us if he had surrendered, gone to trial and was executed later. Actually, that would be a very bad scenario for the US. Maybe the US never really offered to capture, who knows?

You're right. Killing OBL is not offensive to the Islamic world at all. Most Muslims will applaud the killing. However, if we hadn't dumped the body at sea within 24 hours, Muslims around the world would have been angry.

I bet they have young boys skipping school to join "the fight against america". I'm totally serious.

Following Islamic custom helps soldiers in the field. Therefore, I'm for it.

Pro,

I have stated numerous times, I'm on the fence if it was an inside job or by those epic towel dickheads playing in the sand. So many things point that it was inside but it's so hard for me to believe we would do this to our own
