Thinking About … Osama

    The death of Bin Laden doesnt “even” the score……..but in a world gone mad, it probably makes a few terrorists grind their teeth a little. He was a bad guy and he came to a bad end. So there.

    I saw the “breaking news” thing on TV, thought “oh its about time, whats good on tonight?”nIn the “big picture”, it doesn’t really change shit.n Doesn’t effect my life one way or the other.

    Bin Laden was no genious, nor superhuman. He was nothing more than a ruthless, low down, lucky Moslem. He was typical of what many of his fellow Saudis are……fanatical pieces of crap bent on eliminating the “infidels.” If you want some great insight into their philosophy, read Muslim Mafia by David Gaubatz and Paul Sperry.

    Ijust hope the intel collected helps us to rid a few more of the bad guys from the world. Their claim to be on the right side of Allah is becoming more and mor shakey.

    Instead of the Muslum tradition of washing and wraping him in white cloth, he should have be wrapped in bacon prior to feeding to the sharks.

    Instead of following the Muslum tradition of washing and wrapping the body in white cloth, he should have been wrapped in bacon and fed to the sharks. Now, where is the new number 1 and 2?

    Personally, I’d say there’s a 50/50 chance that he’s getting waterboarded with liquid pig fat somewhere in a “super secret security facility” deep in the Rockies. Amen to that.

    Osama Bin Laden was a human-this is true-saw was Adolf Hitler. Neither should have been allowed to walk the Earth freely and with out being stamped out. Does it bother me that he was unarmed-No-so were the men, women and children on 9/11. He brought this fight to us, He wounded our Nation and He stood for, financed and educated terrorists all over the world. It doesn’t bother me in the least that he was unarmed-mad dogs are put down where they are found and so was he. In my opinion-we should have stuffed his body with pig parts wrapped him in a dirty pig skin, painted the twin towers on is wrap and buried him at ground zero. The only thing better would been to bury him like this alive. He deserved so much more suffering.

    With all the changing of the first reported facts from the White House I’m sure we’re not going to get the full and complete story for years to come.nn The interest points are what involvement did the Pakistan government have to play first in permitting a foreigner to build a home eight times the norm in an area close the it’s Military West Point without suspicion. Secondly permitting a Seal Team to kill Osama without police or their Military responding during the forty minute fire fight with all explosions and shots being fired. nnUnder normal circumstances the operation would have required additional forces on the perimeter’s to prevent a response and capture of the Seal Team. An absent of those forces so far is unexplained. Was there an agreement with the Pakistanis which has been denied.

    I’ll throw this out there: after WWII the Allies conducted the Nuremberg trials with civilian judges. They could have hauled Hitler’s henchmen in front of a military tribunal, found them guilty of mass murder, and had them shot. Why a civil trial with civilian judges? I think because they wanted to show the world how vital those institutions are and what the horrific consequences are when individuals choose to ignore them. I don’t think we’ll ever know if Bin Laden could have been taken alive but it would have been a triumph for humanity if he had been and stood trial to face his victims. One last heartfelt observation: it is not a perfect world and oftentimes decisions fall into gray areas between good and bad.

    Why waste time and money to keep him comfortable in a jail and then put him on a trial.nIf there was reasonable doubt maybe but we know better.

    This is a good moral victory for us Americans, but I hope we are ready for the next round. Thomas Jefferson said, “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance”. I just hope that we, as a nation, are prepared to keep up the effort. Just because one bad-man is gone does not mean the war is over.nnBy the way… President Obama, don’t think that one good call means we have forgotten about the funny business with the bankers and GM, Obamacare, your refusal to allow spending cuts, your pandering to unions, your questionable foreign policies, making No Child Left Behind worse, or your attacks on the upper-class. Your pro-Muslim stance is problematic, as while America is about tolerance and freedom of religion, we have a duty to guard against religions, or philosophies or nations which espouse intolerance and advocate violence against us.

    Realistically, there was no choice other than to take Osama out. Who cares if he was armed or not? The people in the twin towers weren’t armed either.

  • Romie Nichols

    If you’d like to inform yourself, try “Islam for Dummies”, dummy. Not all Moslems are like Osama, just like not all Christians are like Hitler.

  • YankeePizzaBaker

    Hitler was not a Christian. He had no religion…..Maybe you in your infinite wisdom (as learned from “Islam For Dummies) you can help us identify those kind, peace loving, Moslems that intend us no harm. And while you are at it, tell us where they were during the countless Islamic terrorist attacks perpetrated against our Citizens. Somehow I don’t recall them lining up to renounce very many of the attacks……could it be that they are indifferent to our tragedies……or afraid that their own kind will turn on them? If you will read what I said ” he was typical of what MANY”………not all. How many Mosques, cruise ships, hotels, airplanes, have Christians or Jews launched terrorist attacks against? How many wanton, random, shootings have been committed by Christians or Jews? How many people have we taken hostage and executed, often by beheading? To me, the Peace loving Moslems are as much to blame as the extremists…….simply because they are a silent minority……and they sit back and accept what the extemists do. You put your trust in who, and what, you want. I will do the same.

    Thank you. I did get on a rant….just could not sit back and let that comment go unchallenged. Again, my thanks.
