So we shouldn’t have bothered killing Bin Laden?

When Obama came into office he immediately let Pakistan know that they were not off limits and he acted rather pissed off at them. He started early on running military operations in Pakistan.

I think Pakistan politically repelled Bush’s effort to kill Osama and harbored him and Bush knew it. With all the pressure Bush was under from the Left, he was weakened and could not take on the Paki government’s betrayal on top of everything else.

The Left and the Dem party and the Rinos were treasonously anti-US and pro-Muslim to the point where they curtailed and prolonged our war effort. They gave comfort and protection to the Pakis as they ran their pro terrorist policy. Things changed.

Now we will see what happens if the terrorists who have flooded over our wide open border, retaliate from their connections and protection through the Muslim Brotherhood and their mosques. Obama has positioned some of them in government positions and Dems have put them on staff in Congress. It reminds me of the Fort Hood shooter. They are inside and near to figures of power, abetted by political correctness.

We need a UBL urinal in NYC, DC, and PA.

The line will stretch for miles.

Frankly it’s not a gain. Would have used the find as an intelligence goldmine.

Ditto! The pakis were probably on his security team. Flatten the country to encourage the others. Then do the same to Iran & North Korea. You are right-idiot politicians & State Dept. people don’t know feces from shinola in dealing w/ terrorism or terrorist. They are great at BSing, though. If we severely punished Pakistan, for hiding & harboring Osama as we should, countries like Iran, Venezuela & North Korea would be pissing their pants.

Bomb holy hell out of ‘em & let India finish ‘em off. Have them annex the joint & call it “North Western Indiastan. The sooner we are rid of these Paki cockroaches the better!

Ahh...big birds make much noise and cause the winds to blow downward instead of cross ways. They spit out men from their bellies, with wicked stingers like those of a hornets nest.

//sarcasm off.

Every day that goes by that we don't declare war and annihilate them sends a signal that we are just playing a decades or centuries-long game, sad to say.

The ONLY reasonable, truthful comment I have read all morning.

Why buried at sea before we had a chance to cut his body up?

That's easy to explain and Obama is lying his butt off by claiming there was some effort to treat Obama's body in accordance to Islamic tradition. The truth is that the US military didn't want a grave site of OBL, for his followers to rally around. Same thing the Russians did with Hitler's body - don't leave a place for followers to gather around. This was also rubbing it in the faces of OBL's followers - we went in, killed him, brought him out, and dumped him where they will never find him.

We didn't need to cut anything up to get DNA samples as well. You could take dozens of samples for DNA within just a few minutes.

If they dropped a dime on Ol’ Slimey Ben Rotten, do you think they would have lived long enough to spend any of the reward?

You should tell that to all of the people who took to the streets to celebrate last night, along with the families of the thousands of folks who died on 9/11. I think they'd probably disagree with you.

Speaking of good ideas, does anyone know of a cheap source for small korans that are cheap enough to afford hundreds
that could be deposited in prominent public urinals?

The sleeping dogs need woken up so they can be identified.

One more thing...Zero actually used the words: One Nation Under God...and God Bless the United States of America. He even hinted that we’re an exceptional nation.

He was just sleepy.

Umm, You need to read up on the ISI. No country has the kind of influence on Islamic groups that the ISI has. The only thing that the US set up or rather stepped up was the transfer of funds and ISI threw a low-level flunkie once in while.
