So while Real Americanstm were screaming about birth certificates and calling Obama a traitor and every name under the sun, he was busy orchestrating the demise of OBL.

So who's a "traitor" and a "true patriot" now?

I'm kinda wondering how they got OUT again afterward? Presumably the helicopter picked them up again but still, coming IN they had the advantage of surprise but going out you'd think whoever's in the house would be boiling mad and out for blood - was it only the four people killed that were in the house, then? No extra layers of guards on the outside?

...it just seems pretty amazingly bloodless, all considered. Skill, I guess, but still!

Hopefully they got definitive proof of whatever they need before the "burial at sea," too, so there won't be endless conspiracy theories floating around.

I picture the man who fired the shot into Bin Laden's head muttering "f*ck you" under his breath while doing it. Even though I know that probably didn't happen.

itazurakko: so there won't be endless conspiracy theories floating around.

There will be endless conspiracy theories floating around. So what?

And while libtards were screaming about Bush and calling him every name under the sun, he was busy orchestrating the torture of losers at Gitmo that led to the intelligence that allowed us to finally get OBL.

I dunno, the true patriots are probably people who are going on with their lives, and not turning every goddamn thread about the murder of a terrorist into a political pissing match.

But I could be wrong.

Osama bin Laden is just a fabrication of the US Government, created by the Clinton Administration, and now conveniently killed in time for Obama's reelection campaign.

Sadly the partisan trolling has already begun. The reality is though that Bush set the wheels in motion. Approving the kidnapping of foreign nationals and getting information from them and likely developing intelligence assets in Pakistan.

Obama kept the program going and had the balls to sign the order. Not to mention doing this without Paki knowledge from the sound of it. A total "fark you and your national sovereignty, SEAL 6 goes where it wants" move.

If either President had blinked on this we wouldn't have OBL dead.

I'd keep that a secret.
Really, Seal Members, even former ones, just had a giant target put on their backs. And any Al qeada sympathisers are going to be told that they get extra virgins for taking out SEAL team member.

Ballsy call to send in the Seals without Pakistan Government knowing. Could have been shot down on the way in. Everything about this was perfect. Nice work Obama. Still not a huge fan (i.e. MANY domestic issues, debt, what will Obama say about HAMAS, when do troops come home now, etc?) but the President did America proud in his leadership on this one...

Well since you ask...

On April 29, Obama approved an operation to kill bin Laden.

Obama ordered an assassination.

In 1976, President Ford issued Executive Order 11905 to clarify U.S. foreign intelligence activities. The order was enacted in response to the post-Watergate revelations that the CIA had staged multiple attempts on the life of Cuban President Fidel Castro.

In a section of the order labeled "Restrictions on Intelligence Activities," Ford outlawed political assassination: Section 5(g), entitled "Prohibition on Assassination," states: "No employee of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, political assassination."

Since 1976, every U.S. president has upheld Ford's prohibition on assassinations. In 1978 President Carter issued an executive order with the chief purpose of reshaping the intelligence structure. In Section 2-305 of that order, Carter reaffirmed the U.S. prohibition on assassination.


CNN (new window)

So he goes directly against decades of precident as well as an established US Law which even the Lefts War Criminal "Bush" didn't go against. Funny how nobody is declaring how horrible it is we A) Recieved the information from those unfortunate detainee's that many want to be set free, but also nary a word about Obama ordering assassinations.

I too would buy the seal team a drink and I understand that they gave Bin Laden a chance to surrender and he refused. Still, the way this article is presented leaves some open questions. I wouldn't climb on your high horse just yet Mr. Patriot.

I'm assuming the fact we arm Pakistan actually worked in our favor for once. We know the capabilities of their air defense since we built it.

HE was orchestrating the whole thing? RLY? Obviously you didn't RTFA.

No, sloopy, even though you want to kiss hopey's ass before he wipes himself, he did not "orchestrate" the whole thing.

You know what he did?

He approved it. That's it. He said, "yes" Sorta like that "girl" you met on WoW - but not in real life.

So, get a hold of your little tiny penis, go outside and play in traffic, while the adults talk.

So this is going to be the one thing that Republicans try to salvage from this whole thing, even though at this point it's entirely speculative and we may never know how the information was obtained. Sure, run with it.
 
2011-05-02 12:02:35 PM
Intelligence officials discovered the compound in August while monitoring an al-Qaida courier. The CIA had been hunting that courier for years, ever since detainees told interrogators that the courier was so trusted by bin Laden that he might very well be living with the al-Qaida leader.

Well, there goes any hope of ever convincing a significant percentage of the American populace that Gitmo was a bad thing.
