Osama Bin Laden is dead

No traditional American justice is done before a court of law.
Just saying.

Bullcrap.

Read a history book, man. WTF are you even talking about. Take a look at the American West.

A smart Judge and tough Marshal could clean up things real fast.

Finally we have both. Judge Obama and the U.S. Military did it!!
 
You're right. This isn't "justice" in the sense that we normally accept, that being judgment under the law. But he did get what he had coming to him.

What the hell are you talking about??

Laws were followed. Bin Ladin resisted arrest (thankfully) and the Seals FOLLOWED ORDERS GIVEN BY THE DUELY ELECTED COMMANDER AND CHEIF.

I'm not trying to argue and it's partially why I don't get caught up in this, but justice is what separates us from the animals, a firm set of rules.

I'm not necessarily saying that this isn't a good thing, but it certainly isn't justice.
 
One thing that would have been cool, but who knows what happened behind the scenes or if it was even thought of, was if Bush were to be standing next to Obama when the announcement was made. It would give the message that this is an American victory that much more strongly.

jus·tice/ˈjəstis/Noun
1. Just behavior or treatment.
2. The quality of being fair and reasonable.
3.The administration of the law or authority in maintaining this

How is this anything but justice?
 
Hey everyone, it's good to be glad about this. But don't let it distract us from the important issues facing our country. Namely, Obama's long form being a fake.
 
So... you're saying that Osama was an American puppet?

THAT'S NOT WHAT HE SAID. He said we didn't take out Bin Laden cause it would have been premature and would have inspired feelings of martyrdom. Killing Bin Laden immediately after millions of Muslims celebrated 9/11 would have made him look like a martyr in a culture that relishes them. Do you think that in the 21st century any man is good enough to hide for nearly 10 years? No. We didn't kill him because we didn't need to. He probably escaped a few times but do you honestly doubt we didn't know his whereabouts until now? Get serious. I could find somebody halfway across the world just sitting in my computer.
 
This isn't about a single man. This is about a small, bright light in a time of darkness. This is about giving people just a tiny bit of faith that their government and their armed forces can serve justice, even in these dark times. This is a symbol that our country can accomplish what we set out to do and follow through on our promise that we would find this son of a bitch and make him pay for what he did.

Well said!!

Very well said. A light in the darkness.

WE Americans!! WE Americans!! WE did this because the majority of us believe in the goodness of our country, we believe in the system, and we respect and support our troops.

Haha, somehow I doubt it could be painted quite like that.

I thought we already established that you were a miserable Poe.

What rules did we not follow? I gotta hear this.

Please enlighten us...

So typical of the Obama-haters, to totally flip-flop on this.

Fox and Friends are already cuing up their spin on this...

The legal and moral concept.
You know trial by jury, that whole thing.

But like I said, that doesn't necessarily make this bad.

5 bucks says they criticize his claiming we aren't at war with Islam, Obama being a secret Muslim and all.

When you say justice, do you mean due process?

The President ordered the mission.

According to reports, Bin Ladin resisted and was shot in the head. DNA was matched to his sister.

I'm trying to understand how Harry can say this was not 'justice'-- as if only justice happens in a court room... that's moronic. (it's an anti-Obama flip-flop, if you ask me...)

He means Obama had something to do with it, so he can't be happy about it and must try to put some type of negative spin on it.

Don't worry, Fox News will be spinning a mile-a-minute come daylight.

Trump is already demanding the long form death certificate.
 
hazlnut, what on earth does any of this have to do with "Fox & Friends" or even Fox News in the slightest? How about sticking to the topic. You were doing an amazing job up until this post.
 
Does this actually change anything?

Yes. As Carter was blamed for his bungle in the dessert, Obama will be credited (and comparatively Bush blamed) for not bringing US enemy #1 to justice.

Did I say anything about Obama?
No!
You can't help yourself but to turn something into a partisan turdery.

It's a moral concept of the Rule of Man vs. the Rule of Law.
Something way above your wavelength.

But in terms of the actual conflicts revolving around Islamic Radicalism, I don't see how this frankly changes much besides making him a matyr and not putting him through the justice system. I'd prefer to have him rot in prison after a length trial dictating just how evil that man really is.
