OSAMA BINLADEN IS DEAD

Corkey · 05-02-2011, 02:32 PM

I'm sorry were you there? Do you know if he had a weapon in his hands? Do you have some sort relationship that got you into the room where orders are given? If he were alive and kicking a trial would have happened, but bringing his body anywhere would have given his supporters a place to worship his sorry ass. His body was given an Islamic burial, so be it. That is all we as humane people can ask. I really have an issue with people who have no military experience speculating about what happens in a black op.

Are you addressing me, Corkey? Because if you are then I take issue with your vast assumptions regarding my knowledge/non-information of ANY situation, military or not. Please refrain from sarcastically attacking my right to speak my mind, my beliefs and my intelligence. Thank you.

Tell ya' what I'll assume you don't have ANY military experience, I'll also assume you weren't at the White House situation room, I'll also thank you not to assume I was being sarcastic, I wasn't nor am I now. I have said nothing of your intelligence, your beliefs or your right of free speech, only your assumptions.
Have a good day.

And we all know what assuming anything achieves.

Our killing of Saddam Hussein has been followed by years of war and hundreds of thousands of pointless deaths. Our attempts to kill Muammar Gadaffi have killed his children and grandchildren and will end no war if they eventually succeed. Our attempts to kill Osama bin Laden, including wars justified by that mission, have involved nearly a decade of senseless slaughter in Afghanistan and the rest of the ongoing global "generational" war that is consuming our nation.

I have seen here and elsewhere the assertion that "we" killed Saddam Hussein, but I believe legally he was in the custody of the Iraqi government during his trial and execution.

I guess whether or not the Iraqi government can be considered part of "we" depends on how sovereign the Iraqi government was considered at the time.

I neither morn, nor rejoice at his dead.

It was something that simply had to be done.

Why?

Because our goverment said that we would find him and we would kill him.

Once Bush said those words, then it was a done deal.
You can't lose face... Not on that level.

Once those towers fell, The goverment had to show the world that the USA is the biggest, baddest dog on the block.

They had to show the world, that this country would bankrupt it's self, would send thousands of our people to die and spill the blood of anyone that got in our way.

The USA had to strike back harder than we were stricken.

This was not about bringing anyone to justice, getting rid of a monster, making the world a better place....

This was vengence and revenge.

Do I agreee with it?

No.. Hate breeds hate, war breeds war, and no one ever really wins.

There will be retibution, of course there will be, neither sides can afford to be seen as weak.

There is no end to it... not really... War is the human condition
