Did Beck say Bin Laden should have NOT been killed (Vanity)
self

Posted on 05/03/2011 8:13:28 PM PDT by BornToBeAmerican

I only caught a little of Beck today. Generally agree with Beck, but this time I thought he was way off base.

He had a retired guy from the special forces on, and in my opinion Glenn was talking over him and trying to bait the guy, but the guy held firm.

In short, I got that Beck thought it was a mistake to have killed the snake because of the ramifications.

If this is not the stance of a coward who is to afraid to do the right thing and let the chips fall where they may, then I am clueless.

Of course, I may have this wrong. If anyone heard the entire segment and has other views, please share them.

I felt Glenn 'jumped the shark' today.

Didn’t hear his show today. However, I am soooooooo sick of Americans acting like gutless wussies when it come to the Islamofascist.

Who gives a Rats behind if they are offended. No one seemed to be offended by the Islamofascist showing the beheading of Americans.

I could care less if Muslims are offended. I get offended when they murder Christians and Jews.

Glenn questioned why wouldn’t want him alive so that we can question him more about the operations current and former (including the supposed Nuke device Al Qaeda has hidden in Europe, according to Wikileaks)..

and then he said we could kill him.

I think the ramifications might include a bunch of terrorists choosing early retirement.

Cool, because I sure respect Glenn and fully realize that I only heard a small portion of the show.

Thanks for your responses

“Didn’t hear his show today. However, I am soooooooo sick of Americans acting like gutless wussies when it come to the Islamofascist.”

I don’t think it will be long before every American is going to have to make a real and violent choice. When we are attacked by the Islamists right here in the good-old US of A, on a widespread basis, are we going to fight back or be liberals?

Just today I have read about Muslims killing their AMERICAN daughters HERE, Hundreds of Muslims crashing police barricades, HERE, Threats by World Muslim leaders to hang our President (yea, I know) HERE...

We will remain America the pussified or we will grow a pair. One or the other. Those who won’t fight back get what they deserve.

I would rather have seen him paraded in chains down Fifth Avenue in New York City.

I agree with you. I am thinking anyone who looks like a muslim will be hated, victimized or even killed before to much longer.

None of these people a helping their cause. But if the bubble breaks, it is going to be on for young and old. The left and the muzzies won’t know what hit them.

Well this will not make you happy. Today a teacher in A suburb of Houston said to a Muslim student,”I bet your in mourning” He is now on administrative leave.

Remeber Houston is where one of the main Islamofascist schools is located.
Panty bomber and Hasan Fort Hood Murder had some contact.
Houston is now on high alert, police w/dogs at public trans points.
Coast Guard and Port Authority on constant patrol. Heard that Houston is second on the target list behind NYC. I hope the rest of the country will be outraged and avenge us if we do get hit hard.

No way, already the UN wants to be briefed on how the operation went and if it was necessary to kill him. Christ its taken ten years to get some of these guys tried already and then we want to take this guy and make a prisoner out of him and have every terrorists from Detroit to Afghanistan committing atrocities to get us to release him. No it is better to have killed him and not have to have to deal with all that.

Right, that was his take. But to this poster it looks like this was done to just be done with it, no blowback. I think WH, military, CIA, everyone looked like they just preferred to not open a can of worms. I think that's fantastic for Americans; for once, we just did it, dropped'em and dumped'em. No BS political hashing, whining, all the drama queen stuff back and forth between the captive nutbag and his nutbag followers. If he was left alive, we would have had to have heard his BS for decades. Now everyone can debate as long as they want, but he's permanently out of commission and none of our guys got hurt.

And exactly who is going to hit them with what?

Beck was talking to Michael Scheuer, the former head of the Bin Laden search effort and asked Scheuer to answer him directly about several questions he had.

He asked whether it was better to capture Bin Laden as versus to kill him. Straight question and pretty straight answer.

Beck is one of the few TV journalists/hosts who ask his guests to challenge him on anything he says that they feel is wrong, or that they feel differently about. Makes for a good show - give and take on an honest, one-on-one basis.

No BS like O’Reilly gives us. Really don’t give a damn what BO thinks unless he’s been out in the field on the subject. Plus he is rude and talks over his guests who are trying to answer his questions.

Never underestimate Beck. He has done more to expose the internal enemies of the U.S. than all the other talk-show hosts put together (and I like most of them but they just don’t understand or know the parameters of internal security and who/what it involves). Beck does.
