Hello all,
What's wrong with that ?
Iggy is entitled to say the opposite of what others think or even... he might think !
I agree 100%. How could anyone not be entitled to their sincere genuine opinion no matter how objectionable. My point was that if someone is concocting something to post just because he knows it will annoy someone else then it's really just disingenuous crap-disturbing, and a few have said very specifically that is their game.
I suspect they have known where he is many times. They just chose an opportune time to croak him.
For years there have been reports of near escapes by Bin Laden since the near miss at Tora Bora in December of 2001, just three months after 911. The problem since then is that if we (U.S. intelligence) had any good evidence of Bin Laden's whereabouts we could not be sure in real time and bring in the forces to do the job, and he was being helped by some form of security leaks. So the idea that anyone could just pick the time to "croak him" is misleading conspiracy theoristic indulgence. Entertaining, but untrue.

Obama tapped two dozen members of the Navy's elite SEAL Team Six to carry out a raid with surgical accuracy.n accordance with Muslim law, to avoid adding insult to the Muslim world. Well done, Mr. President.
According to all reports, what made this different was a great deal of patience, hard verification, and information security that stopped the leak, namely, leaving the Pakistanis out of the loop. All that and the right decision in the most timely manner.
One of the side effects of Obama's leadership is that it totally puts to rest the lie that America's security is in better hands with Republicans. Truly, the US truly now has a real Commander in Chief.
The end of Bin Laden does remove a very big political card from the any opposition's options. But, in the end it will be the economy after the euphoria fades...and that definitely won't last for 18 months, 18 days would be long.
Does anyone really think that osama bin laden knocked down the towers?
I know that out of the hundreds of americans i know? Not one thinks it was done by terrorists?...
I can only hope you are joking...or you are referring to the Braille School for the blind.
while giving credit to the military planners of the operation. While Bush would have paraded Bin Laden's body on television, Obama thoughtfully disposed of it quickly and in accordance with Muslim law, to avoid adding insult to the Muslim world. Well done, Mr. President.
While I do find this kind of press release not only politically thoughtful, but absolutely necessary considering the sympathy among Muslims for Bin Laden versus their antipathy toward the U.S., I also find it totally laughable. So we are supposed to believe a highly motivated SEALS team full of hyper testosterone super A-type patriots, with the inherent views toward Bin Laden carefully washed his body, carefully wrapped it in a proper shroud, and then according to the White House Press secretary "respectfully eased" him into burial at sea. HORSE DUMP! I wouldn't be at all surprised if the real scenario was much closer to hacking off a hand for that "DNA sample", taking ears and/or a scalp for trophies, posing for photos with the grisly body, and then dumping him like garbage into the sea. I'm sure the order here was DON'T take him alive to avoid all the complications that would come with capture, and that the SEALS took their cue from that. Still, the story release was brilliant forethought.
Bin Laden got much better than he deserved, he died a quick death while many of his victims did not.
Definitely. BTW Reaper: this was some of your best work. :nod:
