So, if you were president now, how would you handle the situation?
I've not heard anybody wanting us to go to war with Iran over this. You folks seem to want to defend any and all Obama's actions he hasn't even taken. Why is that? Stop playing nursemaid to terrorists is all I ask.

They report to their official commanders. Those comanders report to their top commanders. Those commanders release a brief of what happene,d and a SUMMARY is issued by the Navy to the public/DOJ.

How did you think we learned about OBL's death?

Top military officials are politicians and say what they're told to say.
Nice that you think so lowly of our Military.

Saying they tossed his body into the ocean is enough to show they didn't have the right guy.
Only a conspiracy theorist would say this.

Few photo ops and then silence on the whole matter. Yeah I believe this story as much as I believe in the easter bunny.
Many of the photos were not released to the public, since they arE CLASSIFIED.

Wait 10 years and file a FOIA request for the photos.

Look about 10 threads below this. There is a thread that says pretty much says "we should go to war because of the Iran plot".

Nursemaid to terrorists?

NEWS FOR YOU:

Undercover agent uncovered a plot by an Iran citizen to ASSASSINATE ambassadors on US Soil. How is that playing nursemaid to terrorists?

do you even understand how undercover investigations work?

So, you think the administration is NOT looking for these people? I thought we already had one (?) in custody? Or at least know who they are.

Sure, we should let Israel slaughter the Palistinians..that's just wonderful of you to have that opinion. Let's act just like all the other third-world countries, why not!

He droned down a terrorist? Yippee. What does all this have to do with Iran by the way? Or are you just trying to change the subject which seems to be a favorite pastime of the left when they are presented with the reality?
The Military says so, and guess what I believe them, I guess it is because I have closer ties to the military than you do and it gives me a better understanding of their actions and what they will or will not say publically. Even the terrorists and Pakistan admit it, but go ahead and make up another false accusation, it is typical of some here, J.
He is killing them, something Bush failed to do far too often. I am not changing the subject, it is not my fault you do not like others pointing out the Hypocracy involved in the right-wing constant whining. You want wars and then you do not, I guess for you it depends if a rightie or leftie is office, in other words whichever the wind is blowing at the moment. Reality, you wouldn't know reality even if you finally woke up and saw it.

Can't get any more confirmation than that.


Only conspiracy theorists mongers rely on "what ifs" and unfounded beliefs based on no evidence.


BTW, only a person with ignorance thinks that stopping a terror assassination plot, and finding out that it had to do with Iran, is a bad thing.
Well said,
Too bad some will NEVER believe FACTS if they disagree with their written in stone OPINION

Exposing his plots is another.

I don't see any "coddling" here. We've taken the moral high ground, and they've lost it.

Let's hold onto it.
Boy is losing that moral high ground going to cause them some trouble. I bet they will spend at least 5 seconds crying about that.

IMHO - Terrorism is a criminal act and should be treated as one. I do not know of any country in the world where premeditated murder is legal. Even if it is used by tyrants it is still not legal. This includes breaking into a guy's house, shooting him and dropping the body into the ocean. That is murder, not war.
Now, Greg, I am sure that you have heard of the way Muslims kill their women to protect the family name. That is considered legal and proper where Shariah is in effect.

Hey your government has just issued some additional sanctions on the Iranis and these are against their airlines. Golly gee I bet that will shut down their attempts to make this country look as sissy as this attempt at attacks on others within our borders.

It's not their opinion we are worried about, now is it?
