That doesn’t make sense. You could just as well say what if they stormed the wrong compound and killed an innocent Paki family?
My, my, my ...it’s hard to imagine a pacifist liberal planning the perfectly orchestrated assassination ...backed up with proof.
Spot on. I couldn’t agree with you more.
Think of it this way...we've heard that OBL, two of his lieutenents, his son, and a woman were killed. Perhaps 17 women, children and any other men survived. Probably most of those 17 were literal prisoners to that compound.
They couldn't go out for fear of being id'd. And even if they wanted to, those two security gates were two-way security gates!
The U.S. delivered these 17 from around 2,000 days of false imprisonment.
The SEALS are heroes in yet one more way!
You know full well any evidence provided won’t be good enough for some.
The helicopter op was the way to go. The captured computers and flash drives are the major bonus. There will be huge intelligence dividends from this. Betcha those computers will be in Langley tomorrow morning.
I wasn’t here last night. I wasn’t anywhere online except Facebook. I broke the news to my nephew from the Rummy tweet that we may have killed Bin Laden.
He CALLED me and together we surfed and found official confirmation.
He’s going to deploy soon for training to deploy for his third tour.
He reminded me not to be too happy because of possible retribution...but I was happy.
I just didn’t want to see ANY political codswallop.
I wanted to savor that moment. It wasn’t about politics...it was about 9/11.
And terrorism didn’t start on 9/11....the idea that us striking against it is CAUSING it is bollocks.
I moved to Belgium with my family in 1985. Terrorists had just hit the NATO Support Activity there. At 15, I had to take anti-terrorist training at the embassy....so
ALL of this has hit it’s gigantic huge pinnable carbuncle point.
I hope that it wanes now. I put my hands together and I PRAY that we no longer seek blood vengeance. Let’s REALLY end it .... but it means that THEY have to start....
I am hopeful. I am scarred from the past. I am positive for the future and feel that we are strong.
One man can’t really bring CHANGE ... CHANGE will come when people discover freedom.
God help and guide us.
Where’s the “like” button when you need it? Great post.
The Navy Seals ... if you try to say Obama is trying to fool you ... you are indicting the Navy Seal heroes who did this.
They lost a helicopter and STILL carried it out.
Please do NOT try to say our military would be complicit in something to deceive the public.
They are heroes.
My heart is with the spirit of your comments. God bless the Seals and our troops, and may they be guided by God’s light and truth.
And after seeing the look on Obama’s fact in that photo, I’m mostly convinced this thing really happened.
Obama looks like a Red Sox fan being forced to cheer for the Yankees.
For some, yes, but that’s no excuse not to do the right thing and provide sufficient proof. The world expects and deserves it - remember OBL killed many in other friendly countries.
I do not believe this.
Mister Obama is not a deep thinker, and not an "ahead" thinker, especially about things forensic (DNA, etc).
Mister Obama has never professed an iota of interest in Military strategy, or any kind of attack planning, short of a sort of simultaneous avoid/delay/apologize/blame thing, that's tantamount to surrender.
(The Somali pirates being one good example.)
I suspect, most strongly, that it was the Military that campaigned to send in the SEALS, and that Mister Obama reluctantly agreed.
Or they could have drove up and knocked on the front door. A lot less noise that the sound of those copters in the middle of the night.
>> Not one ounce of credit. Not one inch of credit to the Left.
Indeed. This is one thing Obama inherited from Bush that he’s willing to boast about.
Also, there’s a shark in the ocean today thinking, “Mmmm....tastes like curry.”
So they do a DNA test. Question: Who do they compare it to in order to determine it belongs to osama?
It was a better choice...but rendered less effective by not immediately releasing the photos and video.
