It's a bit unsettling that you don't seem to get it.

Is it? This isn't a perfect world. Would you die for your family?

Of course I would. I don't get where you got that question out of my statement.

I don't really give a shit that he died. That's not my problem by any means. Dancing in the streets because anyone is dead is plain and simple fucked up though. Should we be firing our AKs up into the air too?

And we don't even know that this means anything. When a man is hunted for 10 years it's safe to assume someone else is ready to be in charge when the hounds finally catch up to him.

He's over. Its not bloodlust, but justice.

Maybe in the morning.

That's not it at all. That is not bloodlust. That is relief. That is a 10 year weight taken off their shoulders.
You saying that's bloodlust is like saying the bride is sad because she's crying at her wedding.

30 works

I have a 50 muzzleloader, and in CT they're technically not "firearms" Should I give that a shot and see what happens?

Seriously, I get killing him, I'm just in disbelief at how excited people are.

sure give it a shot, should scare the hell out of everyone at 5 am your time.

Why not feel good about it?
If 9/11 hadn't happened how many lives wouldn't have been wasted?
How many billions of dollars could have been used for something else?

time to say NEXT and get #2

I think part of the justice here, is this criminal being hunted down and stalked for the past 10 years. Ten years of looking over his shoulder and wondering if he was going to die any minute, and then finally being killed, is a good ending for this slob. I only hope he got to look the soldier that killed him in the eyes as he was taken out.

Bluemandrew · Post by **Bluemandrew** » Mon May 02, 2011 6:30 am

So after some thinking, I have to say I'm really glad he's dead. Satisfied with how it went down.

I was surprised at how outwardly happy people are, and I still don't quite get that. It's okay though, I'm just generally conflicted about everything...

Just remember how outwardly sad we were in 2001...I think that would explain it.

Here's an interesting article about some guy in Pakistan actually live tweeting about the attack as it was happening, not knowing it was a raid on bin Ladin.

Considering the title of this thread and the Original Post, accuracy and truth should be addressed.

Osama Bin Laden killed by CIA!

is not accurate.

Were it not for this high-value target, it might have been a routine mission for the specially trained and highly mythologized SEAL Team Six, officially called the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, but known even to the locals at their home base Dam Neck in Virginia as just DevGru.

Well, here's one gun-toting liberal who is glad to celebrate our warriors splattering this evil bastard's brains. For me, it's not an affirmation of death and military might, but an affirmation of the lives that he stole and our own cravings for freedom and peace.

Al Qaeda was a charisma-driven personality cult, and deprived of its figurehead, it cannot last much longer, especially since the change that they claimed to offer, can now be seen in Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and other places, without blowing up innocent people.

I suppose we'll still be taking off our fucking shoes at the airport for some time, though.

Even if one is to buy into the story that Bin Laden was responsible for 9/11...that was less than 3000 civilians. Add a few more from some of his other attacks, it still doesn't even come close to the number of civilians that the U.S. has killed in Iraq, Afghanistan & elsewhere.
Yet...when people dance in the street celebrating American deaths...we act as if it's an OUTRAGE! How dare they?!?

It's all the same bullshit.
Fear, delusion, hate, greed, intolerance, etc.

See through the illusion of separateness.

I respectfully remind all who view this thread that not everyone killed on 9/11 died on that day. I lost a friend who was injured but died a week later...he was not on the list of names read out loud on the anniversary. But he is a victim just the same. He was a father, a husband, and my best friend. And a damn good man....

Today...has been a long time coming. And I don't give a damn what anyone else will think or say but I am celebrating Osama's death, I am celebrating the fact that there is JUSTICE at last, and that the sorry son of a bitch finally got what he fucking deserved.

Summed up nicely.

If I had been in DC last night, I would have been at the North Gate with all the other people.

When we consider how our lives changed because of that bastard,,,,, Trish was trying to immigrate at that time and it delayed us at least a year.

All the bullshit at the airports,,,,, fuck,,,, that'll never go away,,,, sighhhh.

And you can bet all the other ways GOV has weaseled its way into our lives will not go away anytime soon either.

But I'm thinking it's time to get out of Afganistan and let Iran deal with them. Now that would be poetic justice in my mind.

In my opinion the best thing about Osama Bin Laden's death is that it has taken that Goddamned wedding out of the news.

I posted this when that was the most accurate information available. Based on reports I am still hearing the operation was directed by the CIA and carried out by JSOC.

Osama bin Laden died in a war in which he fired the first shot.

He was the leader of the enemy. Apparently he was unwilling to surrender, and as a result he died on the field. In war the losing leader has three options: surrender (through various forms), suicide, or be killed by opposing forces.

That is how war works.

The world is a better place without him in it.

What is troubling is that the compound he was hiding in was a few hundred yards from a Pakistani Army training facility. From all reports, OBL's compound was heavily fortified. It's inconceivable to me that the Pakis were not curious about who lived there.

Pakistan has told western reporters for years that if we find out OBL is in Pakistan, we should tell them and they would deliver him.. I am very, very proud of our President for doing what HE said he would do - if he found OBL in Pakistan, we would go get him ourselves.

What a brave and dramatic operation! I am so grateful for those who make it their task to carry out our country's dangerous "dirty work".

I had a sense of unease about feeling elated and excited by another's death - but I do entirely understand why people are celebrating. This was a victory for us, and the halting of a truly evil mass murderer. This was a mission that we had vowed to accomplish.

Let's see what Pakistan has to say about why he went "undetected" in the midst of an area populated by military and retired military.
