Is BIN LADEN dead?

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

There are reports saying he died in August. Does it matter? Do you suppose the terrorists will be folding up their tents, saying "it was a good run while it lasted-now let's go back to normal, goat-humping and such"?

No, the killings of jihaadists must continue unabated. The only good jihaadi is a dead jihaadi.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Then the CIA infiltrator should open up a can of whoop-*** at the old jihad corral campsite?

bingo. who knows if OBL is dead or not... and i doubt it really matters.

those wackjobs run MUCH deeper than OBL. IF he's gone... someone else has taken his place already.

I'd probably be more concerned about who has his money to fund stuff, if he's dead.

me too... but where's the line?

if the US oversteps spying... we're "controlling" and trying to be the "world power/police".
if the US doesn't spy enough, we'll likely be attacked again.

it's a fine line and i WISH someone had the "right" answer.

Hope McCain, Lindsay Graham, all the other RINOS will STFU til the '06 elections are over.

[oumartin]

he is not dead, he was seen hangin' with elvis the other day.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

What does Bin Laden being dead have to do with McCain, Graham, and other RHINO's shutting up until the 2006 elections are over?

because william favor is bin Laden's publicist.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

The comment is dumb on two levels...is he implying that Bin Laden dying of natural causes is somehow a victory of the war on terror(like somehow the administration was able to channel enough negative energy that they finally got him) and as for McCain, he has mostly been critical of using torture(and unless somehow we tortured him, i don't see any correlation between the two events)

This time off again.(or, you are a masterbaiter)

[SicEmBaylor]

McCain though got cornered a couple of weeks ago by a reporter asking what he would expect us to do if we had a terror suspect in custody and we knew a major attack possibly using WMDs was imminent. He said something along the lines of hoping whoever was in charge of the suspect woudl do whatever he had to do in order to get the information out of him.

So, I took that to mean that he sure hopes whoever is in charge on-site takes things into his own hands in order to save American citizens but once he does w'ell have to lock him up for violating our own anti-torture law.

Seriously, if we KNOW a major attack possibly using WMD's is imminent. I am going to guess we have someone else giving us information before homeboy terrorist. Also I haven't ever said I don't think we should torture these Arab bastards. McCain says that and I believe in all honesty he can say that because he honestly believes it. However, on that subject his opinion is highly jaded just because of circumstance. It's like if you ask a mother of a women who just got raped if you should get the death penalty for rap, now ask the mother of the guy doing it and see what type of response you get. I still do not see how this has anything to do with McCain keeping his mouth shut though, Bin Laden's death has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with torture. Bin Laden dying has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the administration's ability to conduct the war on terror.

McCain is just wrong so often, on so many things.(and the media loves the grief he gives conservatives) That's why he should keep his mouth shut.

[SicEmBaylor]

I'll also say that if Bin Laden is dead then I hope to God our troops in the field have the good sense not to bring him back alive. I shudder to think of the ordeal of putting him through a civil trial (which has to be done because he's already been indicted of several Federal crimes, and I think the state of New York has brought state charges).

Better just to kill the bastard than bring him back.

Somebody like Lid will try and defend him, But it wont be Lid, Bin Laden cant afford his services.

Well thank God we found Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq on a scale that makes Iran and North Korea seem so tiny!! Nice to know the administration isn't ever wrong. And thank God Iraq has greatest us as Liberators!!

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

So you think the Bush Administrations organizing of the Iraq war will go down in Military journals of "How To"

Man, I'm glad you guys finally found something that is not Bush's fault. I was worried that you would accuse Bush of murdering Osama.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

You know if Bush DID murder Osama...I wouldn't be the least bit phazed in fact..I would probably give him leeway to do ANYTHING he wants the rest of his administration. My PROBLEM isn't with Bush, I honestly think Bush has capable people and runs a very solid administration...they make mistakes but all humans do and I have always thought that Bush is one of our more caring Presidents, However, when someone attacks John McCain or a Colin Powell, it really aggravates me because again to imply they are ALWAYS wrong or are pandering is beyond ludicrous in my books. John McCain came up with an immigration idea....yes it was stupid, but by God it was an idea...name how many of these so called great leading Republicans that have put forth ideas?

[OUinFLA]

Nixon had an idea once, but he forgot it.
Thank goodness, someone taped it.

[mdklatt]

Because killing Bin Laden is what the Iraq War is all about. Or at least that's what Tony Snow will tell us if he's really dead.

You respect McCain's behavior while he was a POW. As best I know, I respect it too. However, he has, in recent years, behaved less than admirably. We might disagree on the particulars. I'm sure that will be addressed (again) in another thread in the future. I hope someone more conservative than he gets the Repub. nomination for POTUS in '08. And, if McCain runs as an independent, we will most certainly wind up with a liberal dim as president.
I would appreciate it if he and the other RINOS would be more supportive of the war effort than they have been. That's all......except to say TEXAS SUCKS!

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

You do realize what they call countries where they don't expect their leaders to be accountable and explain their actions?

You can support the war effort, yet question aspects of how it is run...Do you understand..or shall I type slower. However, I have to leave, Lovely Little Future Mrs. Gandalf is here and she is way sexier than this conversation.

you really don't understand the intended structure of our government do you. That's ok, neither do 99.99% of politicians.

Well, even if we didn't directly kill him, our constant pressure probably had a hand. The fatality rate on typhoid is less than 1% when appropriate treatment is received.

Hard to get appropriate treatment if you have to hide out in the wasteland all the time.

Partisan politics sucks

Thats just great.

Whose gonna release the AQ video asking us all to vote democratic or else this time???

That is the problem with government, not enough people willing to risk party anger...look what happened to Lieberman when he made a conscience effort to be honest about how he felt about the election. And everything you say about McCain screeching to camera's is crazy. What do you think happened if George Washington had went and whispered in King George's ears.."Your Hienous...umm about those taxes....yeah they suck..."

so are we talking about the possibility of Bin Laden being dead or who is the better political party?

if Bin Laden has left our presence, i expect minimal impact on terriorist operations. Iraq will continue as it has, the only hope is a major disruption in financial backing of sleeper cells across the world.

Might be you're misinterpreting his comment, dimmy.
