I hope it was bacon tipped. Rot in Hell you prick, I hope it hurt. I vote that they turn his gravesite into the public restroom at Ground Zero. Either that or bury him at a pork rendering plant.
Didn't you know that bin Laden wasn't on Bush's priority list? The credit doesn't go to him. The credit goes to the guys on the ground who went and pulled the trigger. He may have authorized it, but the credit goes to the operators.
The credit goes to alot of guys including the President on this one. It takes a team of people to execute an operation like this, from intelligence, to the guys one the ground. I am just glad the job got done.
What would you rather they do with him? Bring him home to pee on him? What separates us from the gibbering animals in the desert that snatch up dead US soldiers and drag them through town, spitting on their corpses? Bringing him home as some sort of celebratory trophy is a surefire way to piss off a bunch of militants...who will then step up the violence. Bury him at sea so they can't make him a martyr and have holy burials and ceremonies. You really think that a bunch of Navy Seals are going to just dump him at sea without squaring up a duffel bag full of evidence? Please, I like you, don't become some conspiracy wingnut and start barking at the moon like a damn birther. The Facebook feces I have to sift through is bad enough already, to the point that people will likely be blocked. This is how it is done. It's diplomacy. Bringing his body home so we can all stare at it and pee on it or spit on it makes us exactly like the monsters we fight. Tip a beer for those in the government and in uniform that made it happen, and be glad he got what was coming to him.
Oh, I get why it was done. Just funny that everything happened in a very short amount of time. Also, I think he got off easy. Never really got what was coming to him.
There is some interesting debate on how much the burial adhears to the Islamic teachings. Some say the sea burial is only allowed in extraordinary circumstances. I think this should qualify since the after effects of a land burial could be quite negative. In the end, there will always be someone who is not happy no matter what is done.
An invitation could be extended that anyone desiring a land burial is welcome to recover the body and do so.
Hey that's great. We achieved a tangible, measurable objective. Is this the part where we finally learn it's not possible to shoot an ideology in the face?
True, we cannot shoot an ideology in the face. But we can in fact shoot everyone in the face with that ideology. :hsugh:
Seems like sound logic at first glance. Turns out things get a bit thorny when one of the pervasive beliefs of the ideology in question is we're big bullies who shoot anyone we don't like in the face. It's always gotta be something...
Yeah, actually thinking things through always turns up sticky details. But it doesn't sound as cool. Kind of like the state of affairs in this country...
What were we talking about? I could have sworn there was a recession or something? Something about a recession...
You need to pay more attention, man. The new GOP congress fixed the recession already. All they had to do was to continue stripping equal rights from the queers, women-folk and derpity-derp about Obama's birth certificate. The derp and hurr that was collected was cashed in for real American dollars. The excess income that was produced easily offset the enormous tax breaks to the wealthy. And after a wave of the wand and some trickle down economics, there is no longer unemployment and the budget was balanced. The next step is to figure out what parts of the Constitution/Bill of Rights to keep and which ones to ignore to ensure that those filthy homos and single moms can't vote, while preserving just enough derp and tax revenue to put the 10 commandments on a plaque in front of every government building and school in the US. Which is really important because otherwise we'd forget about God and stuff, and start ruling the land with Sharia law. It's going to take a long time to root out all the socialist commie Kenya fascist death camp stuff that Obama put in place. But, by the strength of our bootstraps, we'll pull this country back together.
All the politics in this thread are reminding me of the ol Taras days. I've still got a few Bin Laden targets sitting around, maybe it's time to send a few rounds down range to celebrate.
I just hope when they busted down the door on him they said "SURPRISE COCKFAGS!" [youtube]K2VwpkdUw_s[/youtube] **There ya go, fella. -Readymix**
He has become alot more deluded with his blathering though, I'll give him that. It used to be "if it's not left wing, it's CRAPPP!" but now it has taken on subtle notes of Free Republic meets WorldNet Daily. He's almost starting to lean to the right with his nutball nonsense. Especially with that end piece there, where he wants to parade dead terrorists through the street so he can see them. That's pretty much right out of the WingNut playbook. There is definitely the same conspiracy blathering though.
