OSAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD

[guyjin]

Rejoicing over someone's death is perverse,

I suppose you're sad that Hitler is also dead?

Bottom line: we spent ten years and billions of dollars for this 'win'.  Bravo.

Maybe if we'd had Obama in office from the get-go instead of Bush it wouldn't have taken so long.

I am going on vacation this weekend, and now there is a "terror alert" for flights.  Although the odds of something happening are pretty slim, I don't like that this "victory" now has to put me on edge when I go on vacation.

The only good thing was a temporary drop in metal prices, so I could scoop up some more.  Hyperinflation, here we come.

[Joe Redifer]

Yeah and these same [swell folks] will say bin laden is still alive

Yup.  And that Obama's birth certificate is still fake.  That Elvis is still alive... same with Saddam.  And that we didn't land on the moon.  Everything is a conspiracy, NOTHING is the truth.  I have a friend like that and he is very entertaining to listen to.

[blueraven]

And again... For effect.

Yeah and these same lame f*ckin a$$holes will say bin laden is still alive even though they did a dna test. You can say the sky is blue and they would say its not. Grow the f*ck up.

They would also say that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, so we need to go in an kill him and all his children,at great cost to Iraqi civilians and it could turn out to be nothing but a lie.

Because I have a job.   Believe me, I was celebrating last night when I heard the news.

It's not a street gang warfare mentality.  It's being happy that an evil man who has killed many innocent Americans is now dead.

I can't believe I even need to explain this.  Would you have said the same thing when Hitler died if you were around then?

Hitler was defeated, at the cost of . Was it really necessary to firebomb civilian targets in Germany and Japan, killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people living under dictatorships? Was it necessary to drop atomic bombs on two Japanese cities, again killing hundreds of thousands?

Means to an end you may say, but I'm sure Hitler would say the same, so in the end what's the difference?

 Let's not forget our "ally" Stalin that was responsible for more deaths than Hitler

Have you ever read about both the civilian, and soldier death estimates of a mainland Japan invasion?  While the atomic bombs can be debated forever, a direct invasion would have been catastrophic on a MUCH higher bodycount.  War has def changed in the last 60+ years...many things  done in the past are no longer "acceptable/necessary."

We have some different opinions and different views.  No big deal.  It's good to talk about these things.  I'm not un-patriotic and you're not brainwashed.  We both have logical reasons for believing what we do.  We all care about our troops.  We all like the Turbografx.

9/11 theories are hard to debate because they touch on our core beliefs about the integrity of our entire country.

Here's a little personal story that contributed to my current beliefs.  I like this one because it doesn't rely on statistics or the veracity of particular media sources:

My grandpa flew a B17 bomber over Germany in WWII.  On their maps was the location of a Ford automobile plant.  Everyone was certain that it had been retooled to manufacture German tanks, tanks that were killing our troops.  However, because Ford was a U.S.-based corporation, my grandpa and all of the other pilots were told to stay well away from that Ford plant.

The end.

Take what you want from this story.  For me, this story alone doesn't make me certain of anything, but it's one indication that there are private interests in our country who don't give two shits about me, you, or our troops, and that they've been able to exercise considerable influence for at least the last seventy years.

[termis]

Rather would've seen him captured alive.  I think the end result that way would've been better than satiating vengeance mentality.  That said, if he wasn't willing to surrender right away, I see no foul in sending him a bullet.  

Either way, I hope this brings some sense of closure to the families of 9/11 victims.

Innocent how?  In both cases, the women/children/elderly were the ones producing weapons and ammo and they'd attack allied troops when given half a chance.
