Members wingwalker Posted May 2, 2011 Members Share Posted May 2, 2011 Yup, they TOTALLY knew. One of the guys on NBC said that, U.S. stopped giving Pakistan head's up a while ago, cause when they did & would go after a target, the target would be gone, as if they had gotten a head's up.

Members dragonflies Posted May 2, 2011 Members Share Posted May 2, 2011 Some great retweets on twitter Stephen Collins RT'd this: Remember these words by Dr. Martin Luther King' Jr. "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." Love this quote by Mark Twain: "I have never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure..." - Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 2, 2011 Members Share Posted May 2, 2011 The BBC says this compound he was in was only built in 2006... One of Osama's sons, and a woman used as a human shield were also killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted May 2, 2011 Members Share Posted May 2, 2011 Lord forgive me but sometimes I feel like death is too kind for some people. And I know two wrongs don't make a right but where was respect for tradition when those monsters hacked Americans heads off on live TV? I know we have to and will be the bigger/better persons but we're not burying Bambi's mother here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 2, 2011 Members Share Posted May 2, 2011 Exactly! I don't see why traditions should be respected in this instance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted May 2, 2011 Members Share Posted May 2, 2011 Don't hate me for this yall, but I think traditions should be respected. In all of the personal sh!t I've dealt with, I've always believed that "Killing them with kindness" leaves you with the best feeling. You know that you never stooped their level, and you know that if they attack you again, it's not because of anything you've done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 2, 2011 Members Share Posted May 2, 2011 LOL I love twitter: Re: Obama he back-hand "bitch slaps" Trump & whacks Osama Bin Laden within the same week. He's on a roll! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted May 2, 2011 Members Share Posted May 2, 2011 I would hold a live press conference and urinate on his dead body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 2, 2011 Members Share Posted May 2, 2011 I considered heading downtown to celebrate, but it's way too late and I'm too tired to go alone. I am surprisingly verklempt, and very proud of Obama. We make many mistakes as a people. And Obama is not perfect, and our foreign policy will never make us saints. But this was the right thing to do, and it was done the way it should've been done a decade ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 2, 2011 Members Share Posted May 2, 2011 I guess if it helps prevent rioting and atrocities then I can understand why they will honor customs - the way Sadaam Hussein's execution video leaked out was just a disaster. But I agree that it seems too good. I hope this gives the media a wakeup call about how damn pathetic and herdlike they are, that they have spent weeks obsessing over Trump, and now they are actually in the real world, not in their Beltway bubble where Don and Sarah and reciting talking points is all you need to get through a broadcast. I did a double take when reading about the human shield. Ruthless to the end. I can't imagine what it must have been like for the person who had to make the choice to kill her.

Members MichaelGL Posted May 2, 2011 Members Share Posted May 2, 2011 I'd have them release autopsy photos, offer to hand the body back to his family here in the U.S., and if they decline, well that's up to the U.S. as to what they'd do....

Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted May 2, 2011 Members Share Posted May 2, 2011 I am also reading his 2 wives & 6 children have been arrested, along with 4 close friends of his. I am wondering how old his kids are? If they are young, especially under 18, then wow how devastating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted May 2, 2011 Members Share Posted May 2, 2011 And of course Pakistan knew where he was all along. That house was a pretty cushy setup. Of course, there's no way to really do anything about that, lawfully. I knew a couple in Brooklyn in my old neighborhood, and they're now getting big in the pastry/dessert business here. The husband became a chef after being injured as a first responder in the towers, and while we never really discussed it I know that it changed his life and that he lost friends. I haven't spoken to them since I moved further up but I am thinking of them tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
