The information about OBL's location was obtained through GITMO interrogations by learning about the couriers that led us to OBL's location.
OBL has been #1 on the Most Wanted List since 9/11
JSOC has proven once again to be a valuable and necessary tool for our military. HUMINT is incredibly important in protecting our troops and gathering intel on our enemies.
Both Obama and Bush are to be credited for the perserverance that led to OBL being killed. This is genuinely a victory for all of us!
Great post.....
If you watch Presidents in times of trouble and matters of real security, they come together. Many on here can bring themselves to do that.
Oh I do.
Obama latched on to it because he knew it was politically popular sure, but even he gave Bush some credit. Im sure you like to have it both ways, this is Obamas victory and the economy is Bush's legacy? uh huh, thought so.
The only reason he gave Bush a tiny bit of credit was to save face. He's got to please and try to turn the Bush supporters.
B. So you don't trust our military to know how to do DNA testing? They've had DNA samples from relatives of his for years waiting for this opportunity to match Bin Laden's to those samples. """
No, I NEVER said they didn't know how...why do you lie? They can "SAY" anthing about the DNA...and any gullible naive person can feel free to accept their word as the truth.
"""C. And, yes, it custom of his religion that a burial take place within 24 hours. Doing so is not giving respect to Bin Linden as much as us following custom does not giving his followers and others Muslims another reason to condemn the U.S.A. Burial at sea, while the not the preferred burial in their religion, it is allowed when a bury might be subject to be exhumed. ""
Respecting the religious custom of a mass murder is giving support.....why can't he be subject to exhumation? Why are you so respectful of a terrorist's beliefs????
If Muslims don't like it, too bad! THEY should've found him and killed him if they are so concerned about their ridiculous customs.
""I hadn't heard that the compound is completely gone. But if that is true is that so hard to understand? Does the world really need a place for terrorists to turn into a memorial or for his followers to claim he was able to escape?"""
The world is FULL of places for terrorists to memorialize.....there was no need to destroy it especially so quickly....as if there was something to hide...
ETA: Just heard on CNN that The White House is considering releasing the photos of the dead Bin Laden.
OK, let's see the photos......or not....the gullible will go on believing what they want.....
Is this supposed to be our only policy? We wait until we are attacked, and then sift thru the debris and try to determine who is responsible for attacking us, and then launch a targeted campaign against the individuals responsible? If so, it sounds like swatting at flies to me.
Do you really think our current policy of running to every country with any hint of unrest is better. Do you really think America can afford to fund our massive empire building budget indefinitely? No, America's bleeding itself dry with our trillion dollar warfare budget.
Somebody posted a picture last night, I'm not sure of it was real or not.
It was about 60 pages ago lol.
As I understand, it was not a real picture. WH is debating on releasing the photos now.
