SayItAintSoJoe Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 In a sense I agree with the sentiment that killing another person is not cause for celebration. It's a somber thing. I don't mean to say I am against the killing, because I am 100% behind it. I am just not "happy" that this is a part of the world we have to make due in. I know what you are saying CN. When I heard the news it was a very strange feeling that I think I had never felt before. Part of me felt happy that someone was killed while part of felt guilty for feeling happy about it. Now I hate the bastard even more for making me realize that I am capable of getting joy out of such an event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpwallace49 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Soo . . . when are we cutting off aid to Pakistan? And leaving Afghanistan now that the mission is over with? Operation "fish bait" is successful . . time to come home boys . . (until you are redeployed to Libya) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman_Nick Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I must be one cold hearted SOB because I don't think twice about it. I would've pulled the trigger if given the chance. Good riddance. I'd like to think I would have as well. I would consider it something done that needed doing, not a reason to rejoice. That's more the point. The quote "He needed killin' " comes to mind.

montster Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Panetta Issued the Order to kill bin Laden This is reassuring in that, had the mission failed, the author would have pointed out that it was Panetta's fault, not Obama's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Like Soup Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) This is reassuring in that, had the mission failed, the author would have pointed out that it was Panetta's fault, not Obama's. If the mission had failed, can you imagine Panetta making a speech about a failed mission to get bin Forgotten and getting hammered? Yeah, I'm sure he would have by politicians and possibly the media, but I'm pretty sure the average Joe American would have felt like "at least we are still trying to get him", etc. I personally wouldn't throw down a negative word on Panetta or the Obamamessiah as you have to have the balls to make a decision and go with it.

I think the point was (and I could be wrong) was that if it failed, then Panetta wouldnt be to blame, it all would have been Obama;s fault.

I would feel the same as I wrote above as I think most Americans would have if it had failed and laid the blame at Obama's feet. At least we are still trying to get that bassturd and I'd rather be damned if I did... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I think the point was that the blogger is a douchebag. By way of emphasizing Wiegie's point, here is a further post from this buffoon, linked directly from the original page. A sample: President Obama should not be trusted. Osama bin Laden is actually alive and might resurrect after three days. Not that this will have any spiritual significance, but because it might be the only explanation when all has been said and no body is seen or found. President Obama and the US military he commands know very well what such a high profile death would mean to the US citizenry and indeed the whole world but then decide to bury a most wanted terrorist within 24 hours and with no pictures taken!

I would of killed him too, if that would have been my job. I don't know how I'd feel afterwards though. I never killed anyone before. I guess that's why when they use a firing squad to kill someone often times only one of the gun men will have a real bullet so that they never really know for sure who actually did the killing. I'm thinking that killing someone could really f with your mind even if it is someone as evil as OBL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, anyone firing a rifle who can't tell if it's live or a blank must be completely numb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_am_the_swammi Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) Per CBS News, photos of Bin Laden dead WON'T be released But to eliminate the question of funny business: Republican House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers said Wednesday that the Obama administration should not release the gruesome post-mortem images, saying it could complicate the job for American troops overseas. Rogers told CBS News he has seen a post-mortem photo. Edited May 4, 2011 by i_am_the_swammi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WashingtonD Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Surprised at the decision to not release the photos but I understand the rationale that I've read thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
