Except, they can't even make the flag correct. The number of stripes is wrong and the field of stars is wrong too. I'm not sure who's selling these guys their homemade 'American' flags but they need to do their research better. Pathetic.

Looks like a pretty small flag burning crowd to me.

I'd like to think that is partly because we handled this situation with just a little class.

Except for the shooting in the head part anyway.

Yeah, so far we've seen bigger in San Fransisco.

True!

If they knew how silly they looked to us, would they be even more angry?

"Journalists" apparently do not have the salary to pay for more protestors.

Want a bigger American flag burning? Move it to Berkeley.

I think the USA was right to not coordinate with Pakistani government. Had they done so, someone would have informed the targets.

Yeah, how many of those thousands of spontaneous US celebrators we saw last weekend were carrying signs printed in Urdu?

If I had had my way I would have brought Bin Laden's body to the United States and buried him beneath a septic tank on an Iowa pig farm.

Never forget what this bastard and his henchmen did to us.

Why Did They Jump?

Muslimism is incompatible with western civilization.

Nothing else.

The rest of your post is just emotional appeal nonsense.
Actually, my post simply pointed out a fact based pattern of observable behavior by jihadists of radical Islam while yours simply employed fear tactics.

Additionally, the intel retrieved during the operation would likely have been compromised/lost.

I was sent a PS'd photo yesterday showing bin Ladin's body wrapped in bacon and being tossed overboard. He looked like a bacon wrapped kebab ready for the spit.
