I'm sure people were elated when it was announced Hitler, Tojo and Mussolini were dead. There are a lot of people that wished they could have killed Hitler long before WWII. I doubt they would have lost any sleep over it any more than a cop that takes out a child murderer with a shot. This isn't like shooting some noble enemy in the field that was just some dude drafted to defend his country.

Not everybody is going to react like you do to taking that shot. Some of those speciall forces boys probably relished the idea. You think some of them will struggle with it? Not if their mind's right, Luke.

i seriously doubt the SEAL that pulled the trigger is going to need counseling in the years ahead - he's been training a majority of his adult life to do something like this - has made incredible sacrifices of his body, his personal and family life

this isnt some drafted infantryman in the rice paddies killing anonymous vietnamese......he was/is a man who not only volunteered to join the Navy - but further volunteered for a grueling indoctrination program

jk3 sent me pictures last nite of the Corps of Cadets celebrating near midnight in the courtyard of the barracks - they're about as far removed from the SEAL action as any other soldier - but like most Americans - this is a great deal - and I think its perfectly ok to celebrate

[AlboSooner]

i seriously doubt the SEAL that pulled the trigger is going to need counseling in the years ahead I agree. Especially when considering how long they had been preparing for this.

I think experiences are different between people in the military, from the importance of the target (killing a Vietkong is not the same as killing the most lethal terrorist in the world) to the way they deal with it. Taking your experience and making it the norm is not right, and it may have an element of vanity to it.

I would have disagreed because Bin Laden is clearly a very bad guy but the fact that they had to kill a female human shield does complicate things greatly.

As for the people celebrating, keep in mind that GW and Georgetown aren't far from the White House so you have a case of college students looking for any reason to celebrate.

You're right; look @ the torture Jimmah Carter received when his big raid failed. Actually, (JMHO) i never blamed Jimmah for the failure. It was caused by a lot of bad luck.

(do still blame Jimmah for a lot of his other failures !!)

thot it was funny that his speech was delayed by about an hour, bet he was pissed that the news guys got to announce it first. His teleprompter must've been on the "fritz".

well - the major difference then and now is how our military trained - major changes were made to the way the 4 services communicated after that failed raid - our military was a hot mess during that era

they are a professional force today - and it clearly showed...Carter was as much to blame for the overall state of the military - more so than the actual operation itself....just my opinion

Yeah a speech of that magnitude really should be given off-the-cuff with a cocktail in hand, not in front of a teleprompter. The details aren't really that important so there's no reason to write anything down. Maybe scribble a few deets on a cocktail napkin, that's about it

yep, Obama deserves credit for this raid. He could've bailed and he didn't so good for him.

yep, Obama deserves credit for this raid. He could've bailed and he didn't so good for him.

It also took some guts to go into a sovereign ally's (LOL) territory without their permission to get the job done.

Obama will also get the credit.....for Libya.

I disagree...it was a no brainer...

McCain, the guy I supported in the last election, was on record as saying that in the exact same situation he would not have gone in there.

Now, I think we both know Bush Jr. would have done exactly what Obama did.

Bill Clinton? Not so sure. Hillary Clinton? Definitely would have. Bush Sr.? Hmmm...also not so sure.

Are you now speaking about Bin Laden's remains?

[cleller]

Shouldn't be surprised, but a fair amount of comments I heard while out and about today were folks doubting we truly killed him.
Most unable to grasp the reasons for burying at sea so quickly.

I think the rush to appease the muslim sensibilities is going to call out the whacko conspiracy theorists, ala Elvis, the moon landing, etc.

Reminds of the bleeding heart liberal who was a gay lover, voted for Obama, wanted socialized medicine, who asked the marine sniper what he thought when he made the shot. He said, "The recoil

Well seeing as he hasn't made a message in 5 years and the media saying he was dead or dying of kidney failure for the last 10 years, and the fact that they did dump him in the water, and the factthe govt lies about everything,...etc.

You get my drift. I think this is on the up and up, but i don't blame anyone for thinking they had this guy on ice and brought him out at a certain time.

You see, Bush and Cheney had OBL on ice for years, waiting to spring a surprise in late October 2008 when Palin would "shoot" him with her deer rifle in a staged surprise terrorist attack, thus saving the 2008 election for the GOP. However, when they went to thaw out the body (which was being kept in a vault deep in the bowels of the National Archives), they discovered that Sandy Berger had smuggled out the only key inside his Depends, thereby frustrating the GOP plans and costing McCain/Palin the White House.

But hey, I'm at least no birther. As of last week anyway.

I'm trying to decide whether to love or hate you.
What are your thoughts?

We are having ribs for dinner tonight in honor of Bin Laden's meeting with the hogs of hell.

I make an incredible rack of ribs

It wasn't a rush to appease Muslim sensibilities, it was to make sure there was no place for anyone to go and worship him as a martyr.

That, and leaving it up to Allah for the direction his head was facing. If Allah was pleased with him, his head would point directly towards Mecca. Personally, I think his coffin nosed into the mud, but then again I'm no Allah.

I'm thinking of "Bin Laden is dead" lunch. All are invited. Lets go for a week from Friday, May 13th, noon, at Momma Rojas.

[A Sooner in Texas]

Yes, and the Pubs wouldn't dream of doing such a thing if one of theirs had been in office...

FINALLY I get to spek soonerchk again!

Irony? I need a ruling from the peanut gallery.

Yes.

A little Rush satire on Obama and praise for the Special Forces.

Back to vet's OP, our troops already sacrifice so much... I'm willing to bet that SEAL was "happy" to take the shot, doing his duty... with the idea that even if it were to impact his peace of mind in the future, he would be providing many multiple thousands of his countymen solace, a sense of justice, and maybe even a good night's sleep.

As for the jubilant "Arab street" behavior... we're due to blow off a little stream. Were we restrained on VE Day? VJ Day? Yeah, I know the war's not over. Shoot, as PC as our media would have us believe our country is becoming, I'm just glad to see their are young people that at least pretend to care.

It's kinda fun to pop off on a message board about what we'd like to see done with OBL's body... so what? We know the gov't wouldn't acutally do the barbaric things we were joking about.

Maybe I was too harsh toward South Carolina Sooner. We can agree to disagree.

As for Osama? He deserved Death... and things worse than Death.

[soonercruiser]

My thoughts too. Several things here.

Seems undignified that a United States President gets on television and announces the assassination, murder or killing of anyone however despised. Seems like the Secretary of Defense would be more appropriate. Then again, Obama takes no blame for anything but credit for everything.

Isn't this the same guy that won the Nobel Peace Prize? That was a crock anyway.

Noticed how Obama cut into Celebrity Apprentice at the very same time that Trump was going to fire someone? And it wasn't a coincidence either. Such a small and petty little man.

Crimson,
I might disappoint the LWers on this forum; but, I actually thought that the Pres. did a good job of not taking personal credit.
And, besides all the testimony on the news today says that the first two links to the OBL's "currier" came from waterboarding the 3 big guys.
I assuming that he will want the fine details to just go away; as it doesn't support his position against selective enhanced interrogation.

Got to agree with the Olevet's original post.
It's good news. But, the job will likely get into your head eventually - unless you are pretty close to GOD.

The big joke today is...
Instead of 72 virginns, OBL got 72 sturgeons!
:D

Either way, he's fish poop now.
