Moore: Bin Laden Suffered An "Execution;" Should Have Put Him On Trial

RealClearPolitics - Video - Moore: Bin Laden Suffered An "Execution;" Should Have Put Him On Trial


"They killed him not because there was a fire fight or something going on. They went there with the intention to kill him. That's an execution or an assassination, whatever you want to call it," Michael Moore told CNN.




Have another donut of irrelevance you dirt bag. :lamo



Seriously, he's upset about all this? :doh
 
I wasn't there and given the vast dearth of information, I won't venture to second guess the actions of the professional involved with the shooting.

However, I cam see why folks would want to have ObL for questioning, etc.
I can also see why people would want him tried.

There're benefits for all of these options. But we can't choose freely among them any more.
 
On my list of people whose opinions would be irrelevant a fat **** who can't hold a job and has made a lot of money producing socialist propoganda is right up near the top.
 
Dunno about everyone else, but I stopped listening to him about 13 documentaries ago.

I keep up with what Moore's doing by reading threads on DP. Otherwise, I don't really hear of him in my day-to-day
 
Moore is a hypocrite. He has no credibility and should just shut up already.

If he wasn't making money from having his mouth open...
Until that money stops coming in, I reckon people on DP will continue to post about him.

Moore can be his proxy in the courtroom......of public opinion. Moore, ya jerk! :lol:
 
Did we execute an unarmed man? The question is irrelevant, and so is Michael Moore.
 
actually his position seems pretty consistent

On, this yes, but in general he's pretty hypocritical, like when he talks about rich peoples money:

That's not theirs, that's a national resource, that's ours. We all have this -- we all benefit from this or we all suffer as a result of not having it.

That's right, the guy who's made millions from documentaries believes rich people owe him money.

No, he's really not.

A giant douche of epic proportions, but a hypocrite, no.

He is a hypocrite. He's a rich fat slug who wants every other rich guy to pay higher taxes. He wines about money and says the rich are too rich while at the same time sues the company who produced his movie for more profit to himself. He said he didn't make enough and wants more.

If he argues that the top tax rates should be higher and as a consequence, his top tax rate should be higher, how is he being a hypocrite?

It's no different than those arguing that we should end all pork spending meanwhile going after pork for the constituents. That's not hypocritical of them. If he's arguing that all rich people other than himself should have to pay higher taxes then you would have a point.

He expressed an opinion, so what? There are people on the right who hold that same opinion.

I was only speaking on the point raised in the OP, and am not really much a fan of Moore
 
Did the SEALS summarily execute Bin Laden when they could have captured him? Maybe. The official story now is that bin Laden was not armed, nor was he using his wife as a human sheild (she was charging the lead SEAL and got shot in the leg), but he was standing in the middle of the room and was shot because the team saw him reach for what they thought was a weapon.

Though, Obama did indicate in his speech that we first captured Bin Laden, then killed him, which I thought was interesting.

I'm willing to believe the SEALs when they said they shot him because he was going for a weapon.

Did you happen to get the name of the Seal that described what happened?

Good point. At this point the details are being conveyed by the Obama Admin, and they have changed their story three times. Though I do believe them when they say that Osama is dead, which is the most important detail I think.
 
Of course it was an execution, and a very necessary one.

Just what is your point, Mr. Moore?
 
I think if Osama didn't move when confronted directly, he would be alive. His moving, at all, is a threat because one can reasonably presume that he has a detonation button nearby or even on him.

It doesn't have to be a gunfight for Osama to have been a very real and direct threat. Suicide bomb is a rational out for him when cornered.

Quote? I don't want to read the whole speech.
