Breaking News: Osama Bin Laden Is Dead! - Part 3

[roach]

He was living there for up to 6 years with his wives and kids! You honestly think he was going to pack on a c4 vest everyday just in case he gets raided? lol

Are you an expert on Al Qaeda or OBL?

 

[Paroxysm]

Uh, dude, he had ****ing escape money SEWN into his clothes, along with phone numbers. Yeah, he wasn't thinking ahead at all. I'm sure he thought the whole world forgot who he was. Get real dude.

So what!!!!! That's nothing like wearing an explosive vest everyday!!!

Why didn't he have an explosive vest? Tell me that!

 

[Marx]

He's not some brainwashed 15 year old Muslim kid, he wouldn't be wearing an explosive vest. He's too important to the cause to blow himself up.

There was no way Bin Laden would have allowed himself to be taken alive.

This administration lacks the political savviness of one such as Clinton's. They will continue to stumble around and make mistakes and eventually the truth will come out.

You were saying about Clinton?




Mod edit: I edited it because just putting up a link means that it shows the comments, and I have a feeling there are some choice words used in the comments...lol

He had already said that he would not be taken alive....

they were told to be prepared in case he had one...not that he would have one
relax dude

Are you? You think because you peeled some potatoes in the Army that your somehow more qualified to talk about this than anyone else? Thanks for the laugh!

My problem isn't with the kill order. I think the kill order (if there was one) was a great move. I see no reason to take him alive. My problem is with how it is being handled. This administration lacks the political savviness of one such as Clinton's. They will continue to stumble around and make mistakes and eventually the truth will come out. Then our country's whole image will take a massive hit. It'll be like 2003 all over again. Therefore I think Obama should just come out and tell the truth, if it was a kill mission, if it was a SEAL acting on his own accord, whatever, just tell the truth and control the information, let it be on our terms rather than Fox News'.

Eh, I don't really care, I'd rather root for Obama to be less politically-motivated (and I think he's been less politically motivated than most presidents, to a fault in a sense, but I wish he'd just go the other way and say **** it, here's what's good for the country and I'm done compromising, which it kinda seems like he wants to). Either way, I don't really care too much about scoring political points, I don't think the other side has anyone legitimate to run this cycle, and even if he mishandles a bit of press on this, it's still good enough to be a major selling point in the election. And I don't think he's mishandling it that much anyway, it'll always seem bigger on boards arguing about it. To the general public, it still looks pretty good, as evidenced by that poll Kell posted in the other thread.

personal attacks....the last refuge of someone without a point

The fact that you're asking that means that you know deep down it was totally a reasonable thing to expect.

I just cannot wrap my ahead around this mentality of 'we should have been more respectful to him' or whatever you want to call it.

Osama Bin Laden MURDERED 3,000 people in his orchestrated attacks on 9-11-01. He orchestrated the bombing of the USS Cole and various embassies. He arrogantly gloated about everything and made it his mission to see the United States collapse. His ability to elude capture for nearly a decade was a slap in the face to his victims, their families, this country, and other countries who lost citizens on his account.

In what world did this man deserve respect or compassion!?!

 

[Paroxysm]

He had already said that he would not be taken alive....

Where did he say this? In one of those infamous videotapes? lol

If he said that don't ya think he'd be a little more prepared? Like maybe have an explosives vest handy or maybe have the whole place rigged with explosives?

I think the point some here are making is more about abiding by our own rule of law. Personally I don't give a hoot with this particular case. The bastard got what he deserved.

 

[Paradoxium]

Well I think they were too nice to him. Should have buried his body in pig skin. Video tape it and show it to all his followers.

**** with us, and we will do this to you. No paradise for terrorists.

he got as much respect and compassion he deserved from the SEALs

In the world where the guy you didn't vote for accomplished taking him out. If Bush had done it, most of these guys wouldn't have made a peep. (and I know several people here are not republicans making the claim, I just mean several people)

 

[Darkness Falls]

agreed marx
for him to be buried at sea was more respect than he deserved, his body should've been thrown in a fireplace and then tossed in the garbage dump

 

[Kelly]

As far as an explosive vest? which there wasn't one, it was only a possiblity that was talked about probably along with many other possibilities.....why would have have to wear it 24/7 for the last 6 years?

According to some of the briefings he heard the commotion down stairs, he looked over the balcony, he was shot at, and was missed...

Why could he not have seen these guys coming, and simply putting it on? Or setting up whatever boobie trap that was set to go in a situation like this....

In these urban areas, these guys have run into ALL KINDS of boobie traps there was absolutely no reason why they might have run into some at the compound.....

I'm shocked that they didn't...

In one or more of the audios he has put out over the years, through Al Jeezera and other militant websites....that is actually common knowledge, it has been talked about quite a bit over the years...

well I would agree with that but this administration doesnt want to anger the muslim community...its why Obama said we are at war with the terrorists and not islam

 

[Paroxysm]

I'm asking because I know you expected it, not me. Now explain to me why he wasn't wearing an explosive vest when they found him.

 

[Calvin]

I don't really see this as being outside our own rule of law. Even though I think the idea of a "war on terror" is dumb, we definitely had a "war on osama" at the least, due to his actions of war against us. This was an act of war, so I don't really see how it's going against the US's rules of law.

I hope I'm not someone you're addressing with this. I am in no way shape or form a UBL sympathizer. If I had an opportunity to kill him, I would, in a mili-second. I have no problems whatsoever with this being a kill mission from its inception. If the SEALs raided his room and thought he posed a threat and took him down, fine. But the possibility that he was captured, then executed perturbs me.

 

[Calvin]

I'm asking because I know you expected it, not me. Now explain to me why he wasn't wearing an explosive vest when they found him.

Because he simply didn't happen to have one on. You don't think if he had an idea that this was about to happen that he'd strap one on if he could? We got lucky that he didn't have one within reach. We'd have been really dumb to assume that he wouldn't have one.

the SEALs were told to expect the possiblity of a suicide vest
