It is God's job to forgive Bin Laden...it was the US Military's job
to arrange the meeting.

 

[Steely Dan]

I disagree Osama Bin Laden will never kill another person.

This is a nice win but I'm guessing Al Quaeda has had a lot more important people working for them in the last few years. Al Quaeda still lives on.

Bin Laden declared this war. Rejoicing in his death - I believe - is a release, closure, pride in our military. Pride in our country - a country that is free and will defend our citizens right to be free to the death.

The celebrations - display of emotions of our people in the streets will show our leadership to the world that we will NOT tolerate terrorism. We will NOT bow to the crazy ramblings and deadly attacks of one despot who had nothing but hate in his heart.

Besides, I think there are other places in the world celebrating this as well. Let this be a sign to all those who hate - evil will not be tolerated in this world. We will defend our right to live in peace.

Pride?

Isn't there an American Holy Book that says "Pride goeth before a downfall?


I don't dispute the legitimacy of America's claim to justice against this evil man, I am only saying we have a chance here to show class, restraint and dignity and we are passing it by.

Shame on us and we can look back on this when we realize (some day) why the world does not perceive us as having the qualities of true leadership.

LOL Tricia.

I'm still mad at Adnoid for the slowdown though.

:rolling:

noooooo not really...

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I present to you classic Adnoidisms'

Thanks for summing those up for us, Tricia! :silly:

 

[waltzingmatilda]

I am rejoicing that Evil has been snuffed out. I watched in horror as my fellow countrymen, my brothers and sisters were brutally murdered on that terrible day. We were under lockdown at the phone company with extra security for weeks after 911 due to this evil man's actions. Every US citizen was impacted when OBL declared war on us.

I am proud to see my fellow countrymen rightfully gathering to celebrate this victory. I am proud of our military and our leaders. And I am proud to be a US citizen!

MOO

That is exactly right! IMO

You are right. But how we handle this as a country will determine how many of his followers gain strength from our reaction to his death. Their perception may set off a reaction that causes more American deaths.

Its at least something to think about.

80 peps viewing this thread and it's after 1:00am CST...has WS ever been this busy this early in the morning before?

:wave: guests.

 

[Dr.Fessel]

Saying on Fox, he was offered the chance to surrender but declined and the pic on Pakistan tv is the pic.

 

[mysteriew]

CBS News
On May 1, 2011 the U.S. announced the death of Osama Bin Laden. On May 1, 1945 Germany announced the death of Adolf Hitler.

Somehow so fitting to think of this.

Well I can't argue with any of that but I do kind of take issue with the last portion of your last sentence there glow.

I've had the opportunity to have lived outside of the US for an extended period of time.

I can't say that any of the European countries I visited said that Americans had no true leadership. In fact, a great many were our allies and worked hand in hand with us and I would hazard a guess that our name was at the top of the in case of emergency contact....list.

Same goes for Australia. Same goes for Israel. Same goes for a great many countries in the world, too numerous to outline here.

Yes there is a minority of countries that have no respect for us and dispise and hate us but they are in the minority and they are usually located in a tightly geographic area known as the middle east. With a few exceptions down in Africa.

But I have to question if the world sees us in that way, then why would we have so many immigrants...legal and illegal trying to enter this country? We and our way of life still personifies freedom, the pursuit of happiness and ask many of them and I betcha they will say the came to the US because it's the strongest country in the world and they are safe here. Just some thoughts.

Again I do respect yours.

Yes pride. I am proud to be an American. I am proud that our military took him out (or arranged that meeting as momtective so eloquently put it).

I don't quite know about which American Holy Book you are referring to as we are a religious choice country and I, personally have never heard of an American Holy Book.

Would it be classy to just say "Oh good, we got him and go back to our texting or playing farmville or watching our television programs" when our next door neighbor is now a single mom with children struggling to survive and with no explanation as to why daddy had to die in those towers?

Would our restraint of just staying inside and remaining calm and quiet in the wake of this glorious news show the world we are strong?

I don't think so. We are strong because we believe in our foundations, our country and we defend those against our attackers. When we take out one of our attackers, it shows our dignity in defending our beliefs.

I just heard that the Navy Seals gave Bin Laden the chance to surrender and he didn't take it. So, there ya go. Almost like a street criminal caught by the local PD - order him to put down his weapon - if he raises it - well then...........

Sounds like now it can be said - this was a self-defense killing - he was given an option.

Those Navy Seals showed more class, restraint and dignity than I've ever seen. I will applaud them and thank them for defending my children and myself and most of all, MY COUNTRY.

I was a struggling single mom in the months after 9/11 raising a 3 year old on my own. A few weeks after 9/11 my son was terrified. We'd gone through nights before with monsters under the bed or ghosts in closets but on this particular night he was CONVINCED that he had seen a TALIBAN hiding by the garage. No amount of anything could convince him that the Taliban were oceans away. As he pointed out, the towers were not oceans away and they got those. I couldn't even go "scare" away the Taliban because he was crying "No, don't leave me alone!" Finally, out of desperation after over an hour of this, I called my brother who lived a mile away and at sixteen had just gotten his license. I explained he had to come over and scare the Taliban out of my backyard. Thankfully he came over and did a good enough job to calm my son down and let him sleep. I know his cousin who was the same age built Lego towers and then used toy planes to knock them down, then said "that's what the bad men did." This took such a terrible toll on this generation of children. They don't remember the post 9-11 world. This was a day for justice, but I'm not sure it's a day for peace. I hope there will not be succesful retaliations by AQAP and others. Celebrating the accomplishments of our troops, but also praying for peace.

Thank you President Obama, for showing the courage of a true leader!

My friend on FB: Twitter announces that the death of Osama bin Laden has surpassed Charlie Sheen as the most tweeted topic.

My husband: Wait a minute, wasn't Charlie Sheen in "Navy Seals?" WINNING!!!
