I'm not saying it isn't awesome that Osama is dead. I'm just pointing out it will be incredibly stupid how people will wrongfully give Obama even a small bit of credit for this.OutrageousEmu said:
Obama deserves nothing for this, we need to get him out of office come this election and never look back, and forget about people that want to make crap bills like his, and not vote in anybody else that thinks like him, into office.
Well, that only took you Ten Years, $350 Billion and about a Hundred Thousand Dead. But hey, as long as he is dead right?
I really wish I could take that stance with you. I really really do. There's thousands of pieces of work about revenge killing but...I would've shot him myself. I would want him to BEG AT MY FEET strip him of all of his dignity, All his humanity. I did not pray for his death but i did hope for it.King Toasty said:
I would've sacrificed my humanity for his head.
Considering he is actually a good president, much better than the likes of Reagan he should stay in office. Also would you have given Bush credit if he was still in office?Sonic Doctor said:
Now we bomb some more freedom into Iraq and Libya while waiting for Iran to attack
Freedom isnt free....
I would use a better phrase but....not wanting to be banned

Good.
At least some justice was served, something a lot of people in this thread don't seem to understand.

Well either you were being sarcastic, in which case i apologize, or you were trying to be serious and make a political point in which case I stand by my earlier correctioncanadamus_prime said:
You know what happened the last time we tried to stay out of the rest of the worlds issues? Germany succeeded in taking over most of Europe TwiceLt. Vinciti said:
This requires de-lurking: PARTAH.
Also don't misunderstand what this means. While optimistic phrases are thrown by media, I don't think anybody but the simply hopeful imagine this is "the end of terrorism" or that tomorrow is seriously going to dawn a new era for America.
This is a morale boost, ten years later after fumbling around and directing our attention on the "wrong target" after the leak of Bush having known where Bin Laden was but turning his attention upon another target and supposed weapons of mass destruction.
Was money spent? Always.
Did people die? Yes. Brave men and women that offered their service for that of their country, to keep Americans safe or as safe as can be done so we can sit at the computer in our quiet homes and type furiously away on gaming forums.
It is still a morale boost, this figurehead, this has meaning for us as an accomplishment and justice to those whom for 10 years have been suffering from the incident and not just gossiping from it. For the soldiers that were executed on film and sent to us, mockingly, by this man that has been caught and killed. For our soldiers this is an accomplishment and a victory finally needed to renew that their country is there for them, safe as they wish it to be, and when they see the footage of how the streets in front of the White House flooded with people waving flags and cheering their lungs out due to their actions? Well, that is what it matters for.
I'd fuss less over whether this solves the war, the issues, because it doesn't. It won't for a while, as terrorism is an idea and not a person nor a solitary country to merely 'bomb out of existence' or intimidate into submission.
Gonna embrace some Carebear'ism and say this is more about the heart, soul and loyalty then it is about a solution to all our magical problems. It isn't going to change your day-to-day life dramatically unless you have a fierce empathy or someone you know is in the military or was lost due to terrorism.
And back to the lurking nest.
Have some cake.

"Pull out"? Pull out of what? You mean pull ourselves out of our imperialistic mindset? HA. I sincerely doubt that.
