Navy SEAL on Bin Laden Raid Speaks Out

"Kenyan", "Dim", do you have a problem using the correct name for people you are referring to?


This is what passes for great wit on the Far Right. And it's why you can't ever take anybody like that seriously. I come across references like that, or 'half-breed' or 'Hussein' and I don't bother reading any more, because you know that what follows is right wing partisan bull****.

I agree and at first I thought he might have something relevant to say but then all I saw was the obnoxious so called "wit."


Anyway I guess I better address the topic. How could the SEALS shoot several rounds into OBL chest after they entered the room if two women were wailing over his body and neither of them were shot? Something just doesn't sound right about this guy's story either.

Navy SEAL on Bin Laden Raid Speaks Out - Yahoo! News

Your book may not be political but you were used as a pawn to accomplish a political goal, Mr. Navy Seal. I hope you know that.

It was his idea to write the book. Or are you saying he was paid by the Republicans to write it? That's just silly. He is in trouble, though...the Pentagon has written him a letter threatening criminal action:

How could you possibly infer that? Why would you assume I meant he was paid by Republicans to write his book? He was used as a pawn by the Obama administration. Boom, boom, the SEALS kill OBL, and Obama claims the political credit.
 
The power elite is gonna have to learn that if it wants something truly classified, it's going to have to pay those who have access to it big $$.

The author is likely just gambling on the perception that he's an American hero, so even if what he does breaks the law, he believe the USDOJ won't go after him.

I'm sure he figured, what the hell, the story has already been leaked so why not profit from it and reveal the truth at the same time. Nothing new here, except maybe the truth. No wonder the Pentagon wants to go after him. He exposed the lies of the Obama Administration. So who's going after the White House?
 
In the raid to get osama we were neither, it was justice and retribution. He deserved a worse death. He deserved to suffer and see his loved ones suffer and his wives were not innocents. They were complicit in hiding this monster and the fact they would marry such evil makes them as bad as him. Every person in that compound should have been executed. Collaborators get the same treatment as perpetrators in a war and this is a war.

Eh - the death penalty is not something to throw around lightly.

Especially not with Muslim women married to Muslim extremists. Those women, unfortunately, don't have much control over their own fates. You can't just throw them in with OBL because they were "married" to him. I mean, how serious is a marriage if you have three or four wives? How much time are you really spending with any of them?
 
Dim instead of Dem lacks luster. I've seen better. I'm still a fan of teabaggers (some people get fkd up because of it, that's funny) and a few other zingers. But 'Dims'? Not cutting mustard.

All hail (or is that heil) the Kenyan Muslim Promised One. May his Marxism overflow and his tyranny know no end.

That's off the charts. Although I agree that OBL should have hit a detonator. I dunno how no US personel were even injured (at all); that seems ridiculously perfect but, whatever, OBL sucked - proof is done. They shot all his dudes and some chicks that got in the way, went into his bedroom, shot him in the face and none of the soldiers were touched. Some terrorist. Not so scary. He was probably playing x-box or something; seriously, none of his peeps managed to do anything? That's pathetic. He set a horrible example for anyone resisting The Man. A disgraceful failure.

But 'executing everyone' is crazy talk, sure.
 
By some of the replies and "likes" on this thread I can see a few right wingers are still in pain because Obama was the guy who gave the final go ahead. :shrug:

Obama got lucky.
 
Its said we have to politicize what should be a moment of triumph for the United States. You know when Japan surrendered no one talked about how Truman took all the credit in an attempt to prevent his re-election.
 
No shoe bombs, no booby-traps (that were effective), not even a lucky shot. I understand that SEALs are amazing, it's like a college team playing a professional team; nonetheless, OBL didn't even get a first down. Net yardage, negative. And he's supposed to be the top terrorist dude (presumably with some sort of a lair). Busted while fkn around on a computer or something. Pathetic.

OBL was a hero in certain circles and these women enjoyed the lifestyle of relative wealth he provided knowing full well who he was and what he had done. The only thing I will change or clarify in my previous post is that all adults in the compound should have been terminated not all people.

I don't recall the republicans blaming America for Japan attacking Pearl Harbor either.

All pols are lying ******s, i. e.

“He hadn’t even prepared a defense,” he writes. “He had no intention of fighting. He asked his followers for decades to wear suicide vests or fly planes into buildings, but didn’t even pick up his weapon. In all of my deployments, we routinely saw this phenomenon. The higher up the food chain the targeted individual was, the bigger a ***** he was.

Due to forum software restrictions, I'm unable to post a sufficient number of :lol:s to respond to that.

75k a year is not bad money. And they get that after they retire for several years. So yeah...

And I don't recall Democrats, Republicans, or anyone except for a few wackos blaming America for 9/11, whats your point?

Right now, and I personally mostly blame Obama's critics, people talk about the death of Osama in the context of what it means for elections, did Obama take too point credit, is he trying to use it to get reelected, was it really that hard of a call to make, etc. What we should be doing whenever we talk about Osama is talk about the moment of victory for all Americans, Obama merely had the honor as President to deliver that message to us, no one should be accusing him of trying to use it for personal gain.

Inside the Situation Room: Obama on making OBL raid decision Pt 1 of 5 - YouTube

Watch some or all of that NBC report, it'll give you some perspective on how these decisions work, what kind of factors are involved, and how the President in many respects has to stand alone.

I've seen people (not republicans, iirc) on forums do it today. They claim that the US did all kinds of horrible things to Japan that forced them into attacking us. And then they usually throw in how we helped them do it. Basically, the same routine as terrorist apologism. And typically they cap it off with "the a-bombs were totally unnecessary genocide".
 
IMHO who cares if we shot him peaking around a corner or using his wife as a shield. This POS deserved to die, it was an act of war when his band of terrorists attacked us, and it was an act of war when the Seals attacked his compound and killed him and his crooneys. It is a waste of ink to debate how we killed him, and it was a crime for the Seal to write about it.

Was it a political move to publish this book, you can be the judge, but I think it was.

To be honest, I wish they'd of shot him on the toilet or on his knees crying like a baby. Sorry for venting, but this coward deserved to die, he attacked my country, he declared war on its citizens, and he killed innocent persons. I don't care that Obama was the Prez when it happen, I wish it would have been done eariler when Bush was the Prez. This does not have anything to do with partisan politics.

Okay I am done, thanks for letting me vent.

I think people should just be happy someone got him. Obama did at least one thing right while in office.

Senator Gerald Nye blamed America and more specifically President Roosevelt. He was a leader of the America First Party at the time.

Who cares who ordered him dead....It was the right thing to do no matter who ordered it.One of the few things I think Obama got right.

How magnanimous of you.

Yeah, if the seals were anymore of murderers they probably would have done it. But then again, they probably raped all the women in the compound. Which is just as bad, if not worse then being killed. And while the women may have known who OBL was. You obviously don't understand what love is or being blinded by a charismatic psychopath is like.

I'm happy he's dead. Helo-lifting his body out and dumping it in the ocean was a good idea too.

Agreed. Same goes for the surge. It was the right thing to do.

Is it true the compound where he was shot has been destroyed?
 
Japan attacks Pearl Harbor. We fight back and win. Nation celebrates. Republicans: Oh, no! Truman will get re-elected!
