In all seriousness I believe we should have blown the mountaintop off with a tactical nuclear bomb when we were chasing Osama bin Laden at Tora Bora in 2001.

A small, or even large, nuke is not necessarily a particularly effective weapon against someone deep in a cave. Might collapse the cave, but if not he'd probably be unhurt.

A deep cave is pretty much the ultimate bomb shelter.

They have not died in vain.

The tax cheats and ponzi schemers (and all thier apoligists) LIVE in vain.

Quote from article:

"There is something sickeningly wrong when honorable, valorous, disciplined, elite men are sent to their deaths by an effete commander-in-chief who spent his own youth not parading at Annapolis, fast-roping out of helicopters, or crawling through the mud under barbed wire during live-fire training exercises, but rather, according to his own admission in his autobiography, smoking marijuana, snorting cocaine, contemplating shooting heroin with a needle, and hanging out with Marxists, radical blacks, and structural feminists so as not to appear to be a "sell-out.""

This is an article that needs to be splashed all over the Internet. Go to the link and read ...... please!

I am repeatedly struck by the stark contrast between our elite, intelligent and highly educated and trained troops who are idealistic, patriotic, brave and loyal, and the sleazy, slippery, compromising and spineless politicians in Washington running (ruining) our country. What a difference!

The troopers are the kind men who should be in Washington running our country. Oh, I wish!

America must learn to defeat our enemies.
Our Rules of Engagement have prevented that objective.
The idea that we have to be fired upon first, and then make sure we have a “safe shot”, is nonsense.
We can’t allow enemies to hide behind women and children.
When we decide to kill them where they stand, they will be unwelcome in their own homes.
The notion that this “makes us no better than them” is crap!

This gem is from Southern Hoosier, in the comments that follow the article:

The old adage. "An army of sheep led by a lion will defeat an army of lions led by a sheep. " That is what we have today. All these young lions being led by sheep. Instead of being led by a sheep they are being led by a goat, a Judas goat.

The fact is that the SEALs died in vain, and their valor was squandered by a nation led by incompetents and craven political hacks that have no idea how to win the war in Afghanistan...

Quite frankly, I don't like the author's attitude.

Their deaths were not in vain.

Here’s a tribute and a broader view of their mission:

Some pictures of these brave young men have been posted on-line. I believe the picture of Obama sitting on the couch with what appears to be his boyfriend smoking what appears to be a joint should be published along side photo's of these hero's. It would show the marked contrast.

(Congressman, White House at odds over OBL film) This film must not ever see the light of day in the next five years. It is a piece of political trash which puts SEALS and their families at risk. Obama is far from being naïveté about the danger here, he I think is inviting it just as he almost had our warriors pay for their own medical care....Obama is NOT protecting our SEALS, he is exploiting them - Obama is one cold fish who must leave office ASAP or we are doomed.

Evidently SEAL deaths are more important than non SEALS deaths, I think the author also made the mistake of including 5 sailors that were not SEALs.
