Obama says bin Laden must not be a martyr (6/18/2008)

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Wednesday he would bring Osama bin Laden to justice in a way that wouldn't allow the terrorist mastermind to become a martyr, but he may be killed if the U.S. government finds him.

"First of all, I think there is an executive order out on Osama bin Laden's head," Obama said at a news conference. "And if I'm president, and we have the opportunity to capture him, we may not be able to capture him alive."

He said he wouldn't discuss what approach he would take to bring bin Laden to justice if he were apprehended. But he said the Nuremberg trials for the prosecution of Nazi leaders are an inspiration because the victors acted to advance universal principles and set a tone for the creation of an international order.

To Obama killing Bin Laden wasn't that big of deal back in ‘08 but now suddenly Bush not killing him created the whole problem, according to Kerry's report.

>> I think there is an executive order out Wait, what? He THINKS he doesn’t KNOW?

That was in June ‘08, when he was Hope ‘N Change Candidate Obama, not ManChild TOTUS Obama.

His prolific campaign promises will torpedo him in ‘12.

We must not allow this marxist unAmerican p.o.s. to become a myrtyr.
We must defeat him and his ilk at the ballot box.

Some people just need to die. The whole martyr thing is way overrated.

Obama seemed to think that killing Osama would have been a bad idea back in ‘08 but now that he's CIC he blames Bush for not killing Osama and claims that it has made things worse.
Obama lacks the intellectual honesty to just do the right things for the right reasons.
