A dead OBL is a very good thing. After more than 2 years in office for Obama, this is really the very first thing I can think of that I agreed with him on.
That being the case, after all he has done with the seeming intent to wreck this country, it is hard for me to imagine that Obama authorized this action for the well-being of the country. It makes me wonder what motivated his decision. Maybe we will learn that sooner rather than later.
They got him.
Here is what I am seeing over and over. I belong to several military groups on FB:
Let’s be clear on this: OBAMA did NOT kill Bin Laden. An American Troop, who Obama just a few weeks ago was debating on whether or not to PAY, did. Obama just happened to be the one in office when our Troops finally found UBL and took him out. This is NOT an Obama victory, but an AMERICAN victory!!
Opinions are not “supported”. Opinions are just what they are, “opinions”. They are just reflections on how a person views something. Fact is supported, although some choose to ignore fact.
Without opinions we are no better than mindless sheep.
It would be in OBL's interest to stay hidden and have people think he was dead. Then he could live in peace rather than die in pieces.
When someone does something out of character most people are left feeling uneasy and confused. Obama did something out of character and a lot of us are wondering “Why?” as well as “What’s in this for Obama?” Something doesn’t seem right and I for one am wondering “What’s next?” Everything seems to have gone smoothly, God Bless our Troops. Even convincing Obama to agree and authorize the operation appears to have gone smoothly. I think this was the biggest diversion he could make to keep the media from examining the constitutional aspect of his presidential eligibility.
You are absolutely correct.
Agree 100% Huck.
Right on!
I agree that people here weren’t as excited as they might have been had this operation been conducted by someone other than a vehemently anti-war president. I too was in NYC on 9/11 (in midtown) and my husband worked on Wall St. at the time. I remember how relieved I was when his call finally came through and I heard his voice. Three people we knew weren’t so lucky. I am still working in midtown and I have to tell you Huck, I am not seeing that sense of euphoria among the people that you would have expected. After 9/11 when President Bush went to war the country rallied around him. We might have been in and out of Iraq had the Congress and other nations supported us as they are apparently doing in Libya. Saddam actually used chemical WMD’s on thousands of his people and after the anthrax attacks there was no way of knowing that it didn’t come from him. Now because obama takes down osama, I have a hard time rallying around him. I find it hard to support and forgive the democrats in congress, Obama and the media for undermining President Bush’s war effort every step of the way. Their actions over the past decade have taken away from the victory that President George W. Bush tried to achieve in the face of extreme adversity.
Huck, you are absolutely correct. Your post echoes the thoughts of many.
Huck, this whole thing IS political. It’s to glorify the 2012 Communist/New World Order candidate for President, so he can finish destroying America.
Whether Bin Laden was killed two years ago in Afghanistan, killed Sunday in Pakistan or not killed at all is secondary. The primary thing is Obama prancing and strutting in his usual narcisistic manner, taking ALL the credit for what Bush and Cheney and Guantanamo and the Seals did.
You can’t trust a government that lies, Huck, and that’s our government in Washington
If it is true you are exactly right. The problem here is that Obama and company, with support from his media, are using this event as an election boost just as they did with Giffords.
Obama going to the WTC is just another stunt. His wife Michelle has never appeared at a 9/11 Memorial Service. She didn’t even show up in 2008. Instead she attended a small fundraiser northeast of Indy.
I agree. I came on here in the am and it was not bad. By the evening I could only read a few minutes of the stuff posted here and then went back to watching the ball game.
There is a reason I rarely post or lurk anymore.
Intelligent discourse on this site left long ago.
While I can sympothize with your feelings, I don’t completely agree with them.
Are there too many conspiracy peeps around, probably, but is it understandable, yes.
I don’t even blame obama for it, although he sure hasn’t helped. I blame both sides, because the dems and the gop are SO busy spinning every single thing in their favor that it makes it almost impossible for normal people to know what the truth is.
I think osama was killed just as was reported, but if I found out later than he had died of natural causes months or years ago, and this was all a scam, I wouldn’t be surprised much at all.
The trust level of our govt. is zero with me, and they have earned it. I don’t blame anyone for having any “conspiratorial” views, if they are honest thoughts from a calm head. I happen to not believe the latest obama BC, but I don’t see the truth coming out till long after he leaves office.
I guess the only thing that happened yesterday that got under my skin was obamas speech. It was as classless as it could be. He barely mentioned the troops at all, and never mentioned Bush at all, if I’m not mistaken. UBL would still be alive if not for Bush, and osama should have thanked him for his effots. I guess obama just can’t help but be obama.
Gotta love the SEALS!!!! :-D
I agree. I am proud of ALL involved in killing Bin Laden and I am proud to be an AMERICAN. I will leave it at that.
I don’t think he would be able to resist a “in your face Obama” moment if he were alive.
I think people are rightly cynical about many of these matters -- for reasons that can be attributed to this current administration as well as the last one. It's hard for me to imagine why people would get all excited about the demise of Osama bin Laden nearly ten years after 9/11 . . . and almost seven years after the 9/11 Commission was officially closed . . . the same 9/11 Commission whose members included people who bore much of the responsibility for 9/11 (Jamie Gorelick, for example) . . . after "Islam is a religion of peace" and all that lame sh!t . . . after 3,000+ American lives and hundreds of billions of dollars were p!ssed away on a nation-building campaign in Iraq that resulted in the establishment of a "government" in which Islam is enshrined as the official state religion . . . etc., etc.
Oh, did someone mention that Osama bin Laden was hunted down and killed like a rabid animal the other day? Well, that sure changes things . . . let me get my fireworks and my American flag out and celebrate!
