The first attack caused by the wonderful decision Obama made to kill bin Laden, rather than try him in court.

Taliban's 'First Revenge' for Bin Laden Killing Leaves 80 Dead in Pakistan - FoxNews.com

The blood of 80 people is now directly on the hands of our president. Do these idiots even realize that it doesn't exactly further their cause that if one of their own is killed for killing innocent people, that killing more innocent people won't sway people to their side?

Oh well, looks like the war on terror ain't over yet, is it?

They would have killed or attacked people however we had handled it, and that includes just letting the worthless pile of hate sit there, high on his hog. These people will fight for any reason, any time. This just gives them an excuse to show their "power".
 
How many terrorist attacks will officially be revenge, before we go back to the plain terrorism. Have AlQ or Talibs specified? Is it by time or event.

They do have a history of doing these things before ObL was killed. Attacks can take some planning and recon etc. Perhaps they decided to attach revenge for ObL on to an attack that was already planned.
Further, is there any reason to believe that they wouldn't have conducted attacks in revenge for apprehending ObL?

I think that it's quite a stretch that you're making here to assign the cause to the effect.

no way the terrorists would be able to conduct these same kinds of attacks until an imprisoned bin laden was released from custody

the OP should be embarrassed by such an absurd presentation as initiated this thread
 
With all due respect, can you do anything but attack me?
I didn't think that particular post was worthy of much more. If you think that this or something very similar would not have happened had Osama been captured alive (and inevitably executed), I simply don't know what else to say. Trust me, this act of terrorism was not a response to the legality of the U.S.'s actions in taking him out. That is absolutely ridiculous.

Do you people even realize that I am complimenting Obama's decision to kill this man? Can you read? I called it a wonderful decision.

.

It was specifically stated that it was in direct response to the killing of OBL.

"We have done this to avenge the Abbottabad incident," Ahsanullah Ahsan, a spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban, told The Associated Press in a phone call.

Of course, how can we not have see this, if the US had captured bin Laden, these nuts would simply have said 'oh well, that's over with, who wants a cup of tea', and gone on their way.

You also said he has the blood of 80 innocent people "directly" on his hands. I think I can read just fine.

Yes, and he does. He made a decision to kill bin Laden. Just like when Bush made the decision to go after Saddam, the left said the blood of all of those soldiers were on the hands of Bush because Bush made the decision. Why is Obama immune to it? Why is Obama immune to everything? :confused:

Just so you know, attacking someone personally is never acceptable on this forum. If you have nothing to add to the thread, then move along. Got it?

If you have a problem with what I said, maybe you shouldn't be laying the blame for the deaths of 80 people at the feet of someone whose decision you allegedly respect. Personally, I think insulting someone to their face is more respectful, and especially with justifiable reason.

For the record, I have never blamed Bush for the actions of terrorists, nor will I.

That's it? That's how we know this attack wouldn't've happened otherwise.

To me, imho, and ymmv, it seems that if they have shown a recent willingness to kill civilians they may also be willing to say that an attack is for revenge for a specific incident even though it was already planned and was going to happen anyway.

So, if that's the only reason we have to believe that the attack wouldn't've happened otherwise, I am disinclined to agree that not killing ObL would've prevented the attack.

Right, because we're just SOOO sure that trying him in court, giving him a podium for his hateful politics, would result in WAAAY fewer deaths than just killing him! :roll:

you were clearly trolling. i know, because i've done it, to my shame.

/sarcasm on
Well if the Taliban said it, then it must be correct right? I mean they are hard working people and the ONLY reason that they did this is because we killed Osama. I mean they would never do such a thing if our president had say just captured him or left him alone right?
/sarcasm off

It's amazing you will believe anything the Taliban actually says and then try to lay the blood of 80 people directly on President Obama. Sickening to say the least that you would use this just for partisan jabs.
 
Of course, how can we not have see this, if the US had captured bin Laden, these nuts would simply have said 'oh well, that's over with, who wants a cup of tea', and gone on their way.

They certainly would not have obtained some hostages and demanded bin Laden's release either. Nooooooooo...it was so much worse to kill him.
 
This is exactly why you kill him. Can you imagine the level of terrorism that would have occurred to attempt to force us to release him?

On the flip side, we shouldn't have killed him until we tortured him mercilessly for every morsel of information we could possibly get out of him. Based on his actions at the compound, he isn't that strong-spirited.
 
The blood of 80 people is now directly on the hands of our president.

No it's not. The blood is on the hands of the Taliban who decided to kill 80 people. There is nothing that says the Taliban or Al-Qaeda has to retaliate, they choose to do so.

We are committing suicides in many places... and we will commit more suicides until our beloved leader is returned to us...

They would have done this regardless if Bin Laden was captured or killed.You don't think these scumbags would be killing people until Bin Laden was released or taking hostages?

No its not. The blood of 80 people is on the hands of the terrorist scum who ordered the attack and the terrorist scum who did the attack.To blame the president for this is nothing more idiot terrorist salad tossing nonsense,get your tongue out of their ass.

Sorry, but your sarcasm failed to come through. And honestly speaking, I don't think you were being sarcastic at all. I believe you meant it to ridicule and denounce the decision the President made in giving discretion to SEAL-TEAM 6 to either capture or kill OBL. They determined it best to kill him and not take him alive, and now that the Taliban as relatiated you've found a "just means" to condemn the President's decision. Kinda puts you in the "Rosie O'Donald" camp at best...the bad guys at worse.

It was specifically stated that it was in direct response to the killing of OBL.

Really? Because you also said this:

The blood of 80 people is now directly on the hands of our president.
I think somebody needs a loyalty reset.
