appletree Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 the point is that this is EXACTLY WHAT EXTREMISTS DO when they launch a successful attack. are we the terrorists now? is our terrorist attack now successful? celebrating in the streets over this would indicate that is so. instead, we should be celebrating after we stop advancing economic interests in the middle east. we went there to find OSL. he's dead now and all there is is talk of continued offensives. where does it end now? if you want to play that card, can you show me where last night american citizens were burning the pakistani flag? or the flag of any other country in the middle east? perhaps even burning a picture of bin laden? maybe chants of "death to bin laden" or "death to muslims"? afterall, as you suggested, we are doing the same thing as the extremists do - even though i don't recall seeing any of the above occurring last night like they do at their demonstrations. i guess its a good thing we dumped bin laden's body in the ocean - wouldnt want anyone to parade his decapitated head around the streets of DC! in short, last night those streets were more peaceful than the last time the lakers won the nba championship. look, i get it. patriotism in this country is fleeting and people in general are fickle and not always as "respectful" as they could be. im still not going to tell people they are wrong for gathering in a public location in support of our country. not to be that guy but i felt the comments you made were well thought out and parallel my same feelings.

j4m35 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 it's the hubris of it all that makes me so fucking annoyed. are we, as a society, really that much more righteous? do we celebrate death any less than they do? no, we're americans, how dare you compare us to those people.

mcm1610 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 [girl from work] Let's be clear on this: OBAMA did NOT kill Bin Laden. An American soldier, who Obama just a few weeks ago was debating on whether or not to PAY, did. Obama just happened to be the one in office when our soldiers finally found OBL and took him out. This is NOT an Obama victory, but an AMERICAN victory! 32 minutes ago · Like · 6 people like this. Matt Miller Let's be clear on this: Obama was one of many, many politicians in on the whole debt ceiling debate. I don't know what her real point was, but you can't take the president's responsibility away on one issue because there's other people involved, then completely place blame on him on another issue.

steventangent Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I wonder if the Navy SEALs were wearing yellow bowties. +1 outstanding. As for the rest, yeah, I don't care. I have no feelings on this one way or the other. We could have killed him in December 2001. Now it just seems sort of...irrelevant to me.
