Bin Laden Shouldn't Have Been Hunted & Killed -- Mitt Romney

[The_Hammer]

The buck stops at President Obama, and he made the call...

Mitt Romney and George W. Bush share similar views on the hunt for Osama bin Laden

Palin was criticized for saying she would go into pakistan for this mission.
Obama was very clear he would.

Bush chose not to, for whatever reason.
Romney said for years that he wouldn't enter pakistan.

Props to palin on this one.  Mitt plays it safe.  Often that works.  not in this case.  It was a VERY bold mission - those choppers could have easily been taken - one DID crash.  Imagine if both crashed?   We'd have 30 dead Seals and people calling for Impeachment for entering a soverign nation.

Actually the buck doesn't stop with Obama....but the cry to raise the debt ceiling another trillion dollars sure starts with Obama.

[Radical Plato]

Did he mention anything about the hundreds of thousands of citizens that were killed as collatarel damage in an illegal war! 

[The_Hammer]

Robert Gates was appointed Secretary of Defense under George W. Bush

He went on to oversee the operation to kill Osama bin Laden under President Obama before retiring 

Gates talks about the president's call...

Yea all the people killied by jihadists in the name of allah, in high jacking of air planes, bombs, car bombs, kidnapings, and all the people that lost their lives on 9/11.

No I'm Pro Democracy, pro Human Rights & using process of Law - Saddam was bad - USA are ten times worse - and as of yet the US Government has provided ZERO credible evidence in relation to who attacked the Twin Towers.   I condemn the attacks on The twin Towers, just saying that America commits far more atrocities on a much larger and global scale all the time, all the while patting themselves on the back for doing such a great job of terrorising, murdering, raping and Pillaging.  JMO

All your Presidents for at least the Past 70 years have been war criminals, if I was too list the amount of death, destruction and mayhem the USA have committed here on GETBIG, it would take a long time.  The amount killed during 9/11 is infinitesimally small compared to the amount killed by the USA through WAR, Sanctions and political manoeuvrings.  I abhor all unnecessary murder and War, that's why I focus my disgust at the Country that does the most of It.  The USA is the greatest threat to World Peace and has been for a long time, not some camel jockeys riding around in the desert in an Oil Rich Country.

Zing!

[Mrdibbs]

Its almost election time so this shit has to be recycled again.

Nobody killed anything, after years they finally found proof that Osama was allready dead a while ago.

Still laughing about the ''seamans grave'' they gave him. Very believable.

If they would have had proof through images etc it would be the ultimate propaganda and they surely would have used it. nobody killed osama.

Bro no one from getbig takes this guy serious, he is the getbig resident nut job, belongs in a mental house.  He thinks the US has killed over 1 million Iraqi's sense they've been in Iraq, LMAO, ONE MILLION

But than again this wasn't just another high valued target this WAS Osama, and Pakistan is considered an allies as ridicules as that sounds, I don't think they would have killed the seals team, sometimes you have to take a chance, it paid off.

These are not my estimates Possible estimates on the number of people killed in the invasion and occupation of Iraq vary widely, and are highly disputed. Opinion Research Business (ORB) poll estimates over 1 million civilian casualties.  The  Lancet study was well over 600,00 casualties never mind the fact the sanctions that were earlier imposed on Iraq killed over 500,000 and that's being conservative.  There's a reason the Americans don't count how many innocent people they kill, they don't care and they don't want you too either.  I sure as hell would never believe any American sponsored survey.  American Officials are notorious liars and deeply corrupt.

Bin Laden's death will go down as one of the biggest cover ups in the US history. Approval ratings down, lets say we killed him.... but NO U CANT HAVE ANY PICS OR PROOF HES DEAD, JUST MY WORD.

Probably not, and since the war is not between any country you are a citizen of, kindly fuck off.

E-kul please do us a favor,  purchase a firearm,  and blow what little liberal crybaby brains out.

Bro 1 death effects 100 people. We aren't talking family, we are talking all kinds of relatives and friends, teachers, doctors, business, employment, everything is inter-related. The very thought of 1 million casualties would yield massive chain reactions on a global scale. The compositions and dimensions of such a slaughter would turn this world upside down.

You can not simply kill that many people in a controlled manner and hide it under your pillow. To think this is absolutely preposterous, outrageous and lunatic. even 1 third of that number would be impossible, you are absolutely out of your mind for believing this.  You can always expect lies and the truth is always hidden, if they report 100 casualties there probably is 110-115 but you are suggesting they are reporting 100 but really there is 2000, that is fucken absurd, you need to get your head checked.

THE US HAS KILLED 67 TRILLION PEOPLE!!!

[El Diablo Blanco]

They needed the boogeyman alive to continue to make excuses for war.  Pretty sure they would have have "intelligence" that he was in Iran thus being the precursor to war there, then he would be in North Korea, etc...

Bin Laden and it is known fact had NOTHING to do with 9/11 yet he is the poster child for it.  He is their excuse to do what they wanted.

lol, we aren't talking about altogether, we are talking only Iraqi casualties sinse they entered Iraq

Estimates given by the US gov about 4-5 years back was about 300K.  Some people beleived it to be double, but that was 5 years ago.  I'm pretty sure more have died since then.

[Mattyh7688]

ok then only 43 trillion

E-kul is the most delusional conspiracy nut ever. An article on wikileaks could say someone went to get a cup of coffee and he would think it is part of the US's plan to destroy and take over every single coffee bean farm in the world, while massacring women and children.

This is QFT. A lot of BS around it.  Just a few months ago some diver was building a team to go to wher they claimed the body was dumped to bring it back up, he was everywhere on the news, then two days later you haven't heard of him again.

I honestly beleive OBL died years ago.  He was an egomaniac who loved making videos yet no videos of him over the last 5-6 years have surfaces, just odd audio recordings.  Why would he stop making videos?  He died while under the Bush watch but Bush kept the name alive, as long as OBL was alive he could continue his BS war on terror without backlash.  That is why Bush was annoyed when Obama claimed he killed him.  Obama used this chip for himself to gain popularity, but the whole burial at sea the next day and no photos because he didn't want to offend the muslims.  Um yeah right, the US gov who proclaimed war on islam didn't want to offend muslims.  So fucking laughable.
