"Some people deserve killin'!"
-Marshall Matt Dillon in "Gunsmoke"
Bring him out alive and he becomes the property of the Holder Justice Dept. Good times there.
Plus he becomes an iconic figure, making speeches, writing books and fatwas and rallying the devotees.
Wow. Really? Alot of Monday Night Quarterbacking from the armchair brigade. I mean come on....this is getting ridiculous. The SEALS did what they thought was immediate and did a great job.
I believe that the computer media captured is a gold mine and is a far superior option to the prospect of the circus that would have surrounded his trial.
Our only regret is that we could only kill him once b
The problem with capturing him and telling the world about it is two-fold: (1) what do you do with him, and (2) how does the U.S. respond if Pakistan demands his return?
Stupid question.
No.!!!!
My two cents......remember Munich, 1972? If we arrest him, how long until they hijack a plane or a ship or a school etc? How many children would we be willing to see die just to keep him, cause I guarantee the other side would be willing to kill children in order to free him.
I’m glad the SEALs killed him. I just wish we had the body so we could have women touch it, dogs pee on it, feet and shoes stomp all over it, and when we tired of the sport of desecrating his filthy carcass, we could sew it inside a pig and leave it in the desert to rot.
And we could put it all on prime time teevee! Multiple episodes! We’re all into reality teevee, right?
I love that they killed him.
Yeah, we should have kept him alive. Then he would have had a trial, maybe even found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. While there he could have written his memoirs and it would be a #1 seller. The next LIb President would give him a pardon and make him a citizen of the USA, then he would go to Harvard, Yale, UCLA or Columbia to teach. THE MAN WAS GUILTY OF AN ADMITTED ATROCITY! HE GOT WHAT HE DESERVED.
No bringing him out alive to Holder. No reading him his Miranda Rights. Someone had the right idea.
Actually I think the military did this one just right. Kill the sob and dump him in the deep sea. Solves all sorts of problems.
I personally think he should have been brought out alive and released ... after dark at Ground Zero ... after suitable advance notice to the Police and Fire Departments, of course.
Not IF the real one is dead but they got a look alike...
The look alike would make them appear fools.. and tricked.
End of story.
Al Jazeera reports that a White House official told them the mission was indeed to GET bin LAden out alive. And our Hussein would have LOVED it!! A nice show trial going all the way up to the election! Daily reminders that it was The One who presided over the capture!!! The hell with the increased danger for NY, DC and the rest of the nation!! Hussein wuld have been glorified even more than usual by the MSM!!
Not just NO, but HELL NO!
Ideally, we should have taken him alive, SAID we killed him, tortured every bit of information possible out of him, then disposed of his mangled corpse someplace lonely - like the Marianna’s Trench.
But I’ll settle for couple of bullets to his head and a haul of hard drives.
