Re: Obama to Make Late-Night Statement; Subject Not Announced

Can we all cut the partisanship on this? I don't want this thread closed.

It's ok, there are like 16 others. :mrgreen:
 
Re: Obama to Make Late-Night Statement; Subject Not Announced

I have hard time with the fact W. left office before this was taken care of.

1 year from the day 9/11/2002 - Bin Ladens head should have been on a pole at the Port Authority bus terminal.

W. and his boys had so many counter-productive agendas, the actual hunting of terrorists took a back seat. It sickened me to think of people jumping to their death from the WTC while Cheney Rummy and the gang took us to war in Iraq--based on lies.

Had to be partisan, didn't you? It took us 1 1/2 years AFTER 9/11 to go into Iraq or did you forget?
 
Re: Obama to Make Late-Night Statement; Subject Not Announced

Seriously people? This is why we can't have nice things. We have a thread about the death of Osama bin Laden. The mastermind of of 9/11. And we have people here saying oh Obama will use this for political purposes or he should just blame Bush, or Obama did something Bush never did. You know what? STOP IT. I have friends over there serving and honestly I don't want to read about a political bitchfest right now. If you guys want to talk about the partisan uses of bin Laden's death than go make some thread in Partisan Platform.
 
Re: Osama bin laden is dead usa usa usa

Obama also has done this

American Soldier Dies In Iraq, April Casualty Count Up To 11

The fresh death brings the number of U.S. soldiers who died in Iraq in April to 11. That's the highest since November 2009 when 11 troops also died.

Maybe you were living in cave the last decade, but it was Cheney and Rummy that got us into that mess.

Obama has been trying to get us out in a responsible manner.
 
Re: Osama bin Laden is Dead

I certainly hope so. I imagine it will help him get re-elected next year.

I doubt it. Obama has to much other baggage. This will mean nothing if gas and unemployment are high and the economy is still in the tank
 
Re: Obama to Make Late-Night Statement; Subject Not Announced

Well i suppose the celebration could only last so long until the mentally deranged partisanship started.

Oh well.
 
Re: Osama bin Laden is Dead

I hate to burst your partisan bubble, but anyone would use it as a political asset. Kind of like how people tried to blame Clinton for 9/11 because he didn't get Obama during the first WTC bombing. Politics are all about utilizing assets.
LOL
I wonder how many news people are going to make that mistake in their excitement? I swear I heard Gerraldo say Obama...Osama Bin Laden is dead once.

The threads not about Eisenhower and he's completely irrelevant to the conversation. Take the off topic talk elsewhere

Moderator's Warning:
Partisan attacks do not belong here. Cease with the partisan hatred and celebrate the announcement. If this thread is closed due to the inability of certain posters to behave, there will be infractions issued to those responsible.

For real. I thought this was the ONE thread where people would agree on something. This is an American victory.
 
Re: Osama bin Laden is Dead

All I know is that he was killed by an American soldier. I don't care what party that soldier may have belong to nor do I care the color of his skin. He was an American soldier and that is cause to celebrate.

If it was a bomb that killed him then it was a USAF Airman.

Perhaps a SF lased the target but it was a fellow airman who punched his ticket.

Off we go into the wild blue yonder,
Climbing high into the sun;
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,
At 'em boys, Give 'er the gun!
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,
Off with one helluva roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey!
Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!
 
Re: Obama to Make Late-Night Statement; Subject Not Announced

We (the US) got Obama. The spewing of partisan talking points and lies won't change that. Credit goes to Obama, but it goes to a lot of others as well. Most of the credit should go to our troops. It doesn't matter if they are "Dems" or "far righties" and why you would bring that up at this point in time is not really a surprise to any of us. How about you put aside the partisan bull**** for once and just celebrate the death of a horrible human being. Is that too much to ask?

No credit goes to our intelligence network and the military
 
Re: Osama bin laden is dead usa usa usa

In all seriousness, how will we be able to confirm that it is Osama Bin Laden? Who has his DNA?

PTIF, this is totally irrelevant right now. There'll be plenty of time to discuss that later.
 
Re: Osama bin Laden is Dead

Bad weather knocked out my satellite but I'm cuing in online live to watch it (a suggestion for those who, also, don't have tv access) - the President hasn't spoken yet.

I don't know, but couldn't they match it up with family members?

I believe it has already been done.
 
Re: Osama bin Laden is Dead

True. We can't forget about the soldiers who are still going to be there fighting and dying. At least we can finally get the hell out of there now.

Nice dream you have there
 
Re: Obama to Make Late-Night Statement; Subject Not Announced

Time to drag his naked body through the streets, like they do ours.

No it isn't. We are better than they are.

I bet they guided that ordnance right between his eyes :2razz:
 
Re: Obama to Make Late-Night Statement; Subject Not Announced

Sorry, but Bush failed on this... even ignored chasing Bin Laden. This should have been done 6 years ago, even before setting our sight on Iraq. As a Bush supporter you should feel that shame. Bush failed on this promise as well.

If you want to go that far back Clinton failed to let our forces kill him
 
Re: Osama bin laden is dead usa usa usa

I must be getting jaded. This is anti-climactic to me...

I mean, I'm glad! But I don't really expect that much will change.
 
Re: Osama bin Laden is Dead

The media totally stole Obama's thunder tonight.
