I do believe they were sent in with orders to kill on sight and I got no problem with that, they just should have said that to start with. 

Amen, my biker friend!  No one should have to make excuses or sugar coat the reasons he was taken out.

I'm starting to get annoyed. Yes, I know it's hard to believe that unflappable Moi would get flapped, and I knew this would happen, but more and more I'm reading headlines like, "Osama unarmed during assault..." and "SEALs thought Osama was armed..." If they're just releasing details, fine. But if they're starting to criticize our SEALs and our Gov't for taking the fecker out, it's gonna piss me off!

Were 3,000 innocent civilians armed on 9/11? NO!!! Did Osama think they were armed when he masterminded the attacks on the WTC? NO!

GAH! I hope they're not criticizing his death, which wasn't long and torturous enough, if you ask me.

Oh I get it my friend. But the gov should have gotten their act and stories right before they opened their mouths. When you give the details and then change the details people start thinking strange things and smelling rats.  I do believe they were sent in with orders to kill on sight and I got no problem with that, they just should have said that to start with.

People break out the Geneva Convention which set the standards in international law for humanitarian treatment of the victims of war.

As far as I'm concerned terrorism is different from conventional war and I would extract the info "By Any Means Necessary" copyright Homer

Aother note, this was a possible because GITMO detanies had inhanced interigation techinques done to them to get information to make the mission possible.  Everything Obama was against when he was running.  At least he can realize his outlook was wrong when he finaly got full details about his job and the ramifications.    footinthemouth.gif

I actually have a question for anyone ..Why was it so wrong for the Bush people to waterboard etc to get info from prisoners..Obama's big deal to yell about during the election...but now it's ok to actually kill the enemy... I just don't get his double standard..torture is wrong but killing is ok.. I guess maybe my age has me missing something somewhere..
And why does he get so much credit for this..He just carried out the plan from a previous administration and it's the military that really got the results..Anyway..it's over except the battle now begins ..to release the photos and video to the public..That should be interesting....

crazy isn't?

Gran, this is a similar situation to what carter was in.  He had to deal with the Iraq-Iran hostages.  An hour after Regan was sworn into office, they got released.  Regan's staff and Carter (mainly carter) got them released (99.9% of Carter's doing, remember this...) but it was Regan who got to make the announcement and it was Regan who will also be remembered for getting them released.

It was Bush Sr who started the hunt for Hussian to kill him.  But it was Bush Jr who the world will always remember for finishing the job.

And just like now, it was Bush Jr who started the hunt for Osma but Obama who got to announce we killed him.

Sadly, that's all the public will remember at the end of the day.

Hubby and I were talking about how fishy this whole thing is.  Yes, glad he's dead...but somethings not quite right.

Things are gonna be quite now for about 3-6 months.  Huge power struggle in alquadia (sorry, spelling) due to the fact there's probably at least 15-20, if not more, who all want the top spot in this terrorist group.  So a huge internal power struggle.

Once that is over with (3-6 months, tops) little things are gonna start happening again.  A bombing here, a threat there.  Some high ranking government official kidnapped.  And so we'll begin our battle with them all over again.

Homer you could never offend me. The whole thing is complicated and not all Muslims are bad.  But the moderate Muslims are scarred to death of the radicals. With good reason.  Now when it comes to Afgan  they should have just bombed the Taliban areas until it was a sheet of glass and left it. That would have sent a powerful message to leave us alone.  Then the Northern Alliance with some US arms could have handled the rest. No ground troops needed. But that is just my simplistic mind at work
