Osama bin Laden dead.
Re: Osama bin Laden dead.
How can I not chime in on this.
First off, the impressions you get from the media, are all based on which media cites you pay attention to. If you watch Fox, then you hear that Obama is taking all credit with middle finger a blazin to George Bush. If you watch CNN, you hear that Obama is God. So what you gather from your media sources, is only scewed by each of our own ignorances.
From what I hear personally as a moderate, I hear that the Bush administration played a big role in tracking down the name of a key messenger. The Obama administration seeked out this messenger, eventually tracking down the location where Osama was thought to be hiding. Now, from my liberal standpoint, I feel that Bush had 7 years to make something happen and failed. At one point we had Osama pin pointed and pulled back on the mission. Osama pursued the situation and had him killed in 2.5 years of term.
As far as buriel, why on earth would we want to bring him back, first off alive, but secondly at all? They did the DNA testing to confirm it was him, and the last thing we want is for terrorists to see his body and worship him as a God. Resting at the bottom of the ocean is where he deserves.
All politics aside, I've learned more about special team 6 in the last few days than I've ever know, and those guys are so black ops that it just amazes me! Congress doesn't even know what they do?
Big balls on Obamas part to call in an operation undermining the choices of Pakistan. It'd be naive to think that the Pakistani government didn't know he was there. Hell, he was 100 yards from Pakistan's "West Point".

Re: Osama bin Laden dead.
Like this would end the war against terrorism. Right now is it even more difficult to control the fight against terror, because right now are all small groups planning some revenche.
btw, Osama already died in 2001, since then he couldn't do more then play hide 'n seek.
Still it's a good thing, but don't get to exited.
And good game to the whole world, because the USA got a lot of help from a lot of smaller country's to defend their bases up their, send medical help and deliver weapons

Re: Osama bin Laden dead.
I know I sound like a broken record, but if your interested in anything special forces, or more particularly the Navy SEALs, you should go out and buy The Lone Survivor. It is the most harrowing, intense book I have ever read, and it really has actually changed who I am, and to appreciate what our special operations do.
And I agree that in the short term there will be fallout over this. I just hope it's preventable.

Re: Osama bin Laden dead.
look at 70%-80% of the things in your house. they all have a little stamp on them that says "made in China" thats the only reason theyre doing better than anyone. Because everyone is sending money to China. and eventually its gonna run out, which it pretty much has.motoxjeff#7 wrote:China is doing better than anyone, and the USA still owes millions , and millions, maybe even billions too. So there probably the only area not doing bad atm.Voutare wrote:The entire world is in a recession
i guess its like having money in the bank with no job. youll be sending money out and not getting any put back in, so eventually youll have no money and be in debt.
Re: Osama bin Laden dead.
Lone Survivor, In the Company of Heroes, and Jaw Breaker are all on my list of must reads.Voutare wrote:I know I sound like a broken record, but if your interested in anything special forces, or more particularly the Navy SEALs, you should go out and buy The Lone Survivor.

It hasn't yet. China is actually smart about what they do with there money, They don't lend it out here and there, like it is chump change. We will be Paying them money 4 ever, It will never be paid back in full. We will always have debt with China, Which is why china will never " run out ". The only way they would be in need is, if there was a natural disaster, Which can happen out of now where.

Also, I haven't read it, but 'The Horse Soldiers' is apparently a very good read on Special Operations. I'm going to read it at some point when I get the time.

Re: Osama bin Laden dead.
9/11 this year will be the 10th anniversary of the WTC disaster. So i guess Al Qaida is planning something big, maybe the white house? We will see...
