Bin Laden is dead!

Actually, that was kind of reassuring. If you don't flinch a little, at least internally, when you see another human being killed in real time and at least partially at your orders, I'd wonder about you. The stomach for the job requires that you give those orders and live with the consequences, not that you like the reality of it. Its sort of like an execution. No one leaves the death chamber exchanging high fives, no mater how evil the SOB was.

Look at your comment, now back to mine. Now back at your comment now back to mine. Sadly it isn't mine, but if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate comments it could look like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You're scrolling through comments, writing the comment your comment could look like. What did you post? Back at mine, it's a reply saying something you want to hear. Look again the reply is now diamonds. Anything is possible when you think before you post.

Sorry FQ been waiting to use this for ages on someone,

FQ doesn't know what the f..k he's babbling about. Professionals take care of business, and go home to their families. Or else they engage in liberal hand wringing and die.
Guess they didn't teach you THAT shit in ROTC did they FQ.

"US officials said controversial techniques including water-boarding and sleep deprivation were directly responsible for helping security forces find the warlord."

....................................Just read a reminder story that the very team (Seal Team 6) that took OBL out was the same one that the asshole writer at the New Yorker called "Cheney's personal assassination team".

Looks like in the photo that Hitlery can't stomach this part of her job.

No kiddin'.  Saw that.  All of the politicians were wide eyed...except Biden, he didn't know where he was or was wondering how he could plagerize some of that action.  The military man at the end of the table...all business, Gates....had the smirkey smile of the bunch. 

Has anyone heard a rumor that Lake City ammo is actually lubed with pig fat and sealed with a concoction of pig urine and pig feces cooked off in a solvent to make a long-lasting varnish type sealer?

I want to know who put the value of that place at $1,000,000.00? The joint looks like an industrial storage facility.  Bill T.

No slam or self rghteousness intended Path. I agree with every word you wrote. All I meant to say was that I was glad our government treated it with grave solemnity, not gloating. I'm also gladwe showed a bit of class with the burial and didn't drag his body through the streets like his people do to ours (Mogadishu anyone ). I guess the contrast is with Saadams execution when the witnesses taunted him and made a mockery of the thing. Things like this should be grim, but we should also not feel guilty about being satisfied that its over and glad the guy is dead.

Personally I would like the head on a pole outside the White House till the crows ate all the flesh off of it.
But I'm a vindictive little shit that likes the bad guys to know we mean business.

they are reporting here that when he was found that he used one of his wives as a shield and went for a weapon and that is when he was shot.

In thinking about this operation, I'd guess that the objective was to kill OBL with no option to capture him alive.  We would gain so little value by having him alive (if any) and a ton of drawbacks related to how "civilized" people would treat him.

This means he would be executed no matter what efforts he made to surrender.

One of the helicopters was reported shot down by the defenders so OBL would not have been surprised in bed by the SEALS entry into his room.

I have little doubt that from the second SEAL team 6 left on the mission that the official result was OBL was killed offering resistance.

I also have little doubt that the official disposition of the body, should they manage to pull out with it was that he was buried at sea was known from the start of the mission.

I'd guess that from the start of the mission, the goal was  1) to get OBL dead and 2) to lose his body forever if possible.
