Thread: Bin ladin dead

Tweet

If there would have been one million Bin Laden's that we captured or killed It would have been worth one of our troops.
I am glad they got him and he is one less worry for the US but we are not done yet.
It's sad to think this guy was able to start a couple of wars with other countries because his actions.
All the heartacke this guy inflicked on the world is truly sad.
God Bless our troops!!! Kurt

Pakistan needs to be punished for their role in hiding him.Also a typical American move now that we killed him is to pack up our role in controlling of them and preventing their operations.We should have a force in place to continue to prevent them from operations.


Lastly,we got to learn for the last time,we can not should not,continue to think we can buy our friends.These people do not operate the same way we do.

Burial at sea---so much for dust to dust, ashes to ashes---

They should of cremated him in the nuke reactor on that a/c carrier and then launched him off the catapalt---then running the ship forward would of stirred the remains into the sea water.

But, I think that a video of the burial would show a water boarding technique that works

Now, bring our troops home and put them on out borders

famous seal quote ..... "you can run but you'll just die tired". one thing i learned in the navy was you never screw with a seal . you'd be better off going bear hunting with a stick .

i agree with you jerry, bring the guys home, get our nose out of places it doesnt belong, and put our troops on our own warzone, THE BORDER

While in the Army as a Sniper I got to train with just about all of our Special Forces at one time or another, the Exception being Delta Force.
The Green Beret helped teach and were instructors at the Fort Ord Sniper School along with other Snipers who were all very good.
Got to train with the Ranger's at Eglin Air Force base in Florida, There were also Delta Force units there at the time.
Unfortunately I did not get to do any training with them, though I did meet and talk to a few of them.
These guys even the Rangers looked up too and are suposed to be the ultimate fighting units that know different languages to infiltrate
enemy lines or countries. You would not know them if you seen them, except for being in great shape they all looked like bikers
to me with long beards and such. Then I got to do some training with the Seal at Camp Pendleton in California these guys were
also very good and probably the best of any Special Forces that I got to train with. Most all of the Specail force specialized in one thing
or another where the Seals were good at everything not just one. And from what I have heard they sent in Seal team 6 which are supposed to
be the elite of even the Seals to get Bin Laden. Still wish I would have got to train with Delta Force but from what I heard they don't let anyone train with them.
I don't know if that is still true today, that was just what I was told 30 years ago. Never the less the Seals are one of the best assets the US could have.

Osama might be gone, but the legacy he created in Al Quaeda lives on.
Like a Hydra, if you cut off one head; two more grow to replace it.
But the biggest threat to the entire existence of Al Quaeda are the democraticisation of more Egyptian countries that are now trying to overthrow tyrannical leaders.
More democratic rule = less cause for Muslim unrest = less reason for Al Quaeda to exist.

A simplistic answer; but democraticisation will, I believe, ultimately defeat the extremists.

I am sure they will try something.
I guess they will have to go and find some little kid or a woman to fight for them.
And they won't put on a uniform, because they won't fight like men.
Then after cutting off inocent civilians body limbs they complain about mistreatment,
Are you kinding, then they want rules after they get caught.
If they caught us we would at the very least be tortured and then beheaded.

As soon as I heard the news about him being shot I knew the bleeding hearts would start questioning if he was armed or not, and if we had to shoot him instead of bringing him back alive. Now the news is focusing on those points instead of the fact that this lowlife human being got exactly what he deserved. I don't care if he was armed or was sitting in his easy chair reading the newspaper, he didn't worry about any of those 3000+ innocent men, women, and children he killed on 9/11 ( and I suspect not many if any of them were armed), so why should we be such weak a***s to start worrying about his rights?

The SOB is gone, period. Treat him like yesterday's garbage and move on. To keep debating this on the news, over and over, only keeps his memory alive and will make him larger in death than life in the eyes of his followers. I think the Adminstration showed enormous courage in making the decisions they did and our Special Forces should be held up as the heros they are. If some of the weak a***s have their way we will see the Seal who shot him brought up on charges ! Absolutely disgusting!

While I agree it was the prudent and correct decision to take the action that was done, this business of it being a "courageous" decision is election year hyperbole by a cheerleading media echo chamber. To have NOT made the decision would have been political suicide in the sense that eventually the info would have come out that the opportunity was there and if not acted upon would have fueled attacks of cowardice and dereliction of duty. Real courage is what was/is demonstrated by the men who climbed in and then repelled from the choppers. Who charged into a compound with no guarantee of success, though they are the most capable people in the world to pull off this type of dangerous mission, and had planned and trained vigorously for this duty.......including having prepared in a mock up of the compound. The worst that the politicians faced would have been if there'd been a failure similar to the one in Iran thirty years ago. It was a risky decision to order the attack..............hardly "courageous".

As for bringing any of the SEALs up on charges I agree it would be weak. However, our current Attorney General advanced charges in August 2009 against CIA operatives who, it seems likely, contributed to acquiring the early intelligence that led to this successful mission. Wonder if they'll be given a reprieve now? (quietly of course.......)

I am totaly with you Don I see the post I was replying to on my last thread was removed by someone.
I don't know if the writer took it down or management did?
I guess it does not matter, I just have to ask where that person was from?
If the person who took it down was the writer, I know why!!!
Like you said Don, Honor our Heros, the Standing Proud and the fallen.
God Bless them all.

I have to disagree with you on this one, Bob. I prefer to look at the actions taken by the Administration as being very brave. Maybe not in the same sense as dodging bullets brave, but nonetheless brave. He had to know that no matter what way it went he would be criticized yet he gave the order to complete the mssion.

Not everything a Politician does is politically motivated, however much we may distrust and dislike them. I honestly believe a lot of them are good Americans who go to Washington for the right reasons. I'm sure once they get there the reality that one person alone cannot make much of a difference sets in, as the old boy network let's them know how things REALLY get done there. But I still believe Obama makes most of his decisions based on what he truly believes is good for America, and not so much what will get him elected for another 4 years. Maybe that is naive, but I just like looking at the bottle and calling it half full.

Even tho the "Author is Unknown"
I would like to shake their hand !

Now I lay me down to sleep...
one less terrorist this world does keep...
with all my heart I give my thanks...
to those in uniform regardless of ranks...
you serve our country and serve it well...
with humble hearts your stories tell...
so as I rest my weary eyes...
while freedom rings our flag still flies...
you give your all, do what you must...
with God we live and God we trust...
Amen
