Bin Laden is dead!!!

[mdunc8]

BBD, from the transcript of the speech, could you show some examples? thanks....

Yeah..it's all about himself

"Over the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals, we've made great strides in that effort. "

"Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden."

"the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability."

"Tonight, we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who've worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome. The American people do not see their work, nor know their names. But tonight, they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.
We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism, and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country. And they are part of a generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day."

I had not seen the Obama video but after reading bigbuckdown's bashing of Obama i had to find it and watch it formyself. I only heard Obama only say the word "I" twice, maybe three times and he gave credit where it was due.

 

[WBouldin]

"I" is said 7 times and you all can think what you want I'm just digressing as to my opinion because that's what Americans get to do! God bless America!!!

I'm not an Obama supporter, but I thought his speech was well done.

Honestly, I could care less if Nancy Pelosi takes the credit...he is dead, and that is a good thing.

 

[WBouldin]

I also should point out what I did like so it doesnt sound like I am a bigot. I liked his memoir of 9/11 which made it all just taste a little bit sweeter. As stated before I did like when he did credit those in the military and intel which Dunc graciously supplied us all with. To be clear: i did not say he didn't credit those deserving at all just In my opinion he could have been a little more "liberal" in sharing the spotlight.

BBD out..

 

[MNHunter]

I saw the speech live last night and did not feel he took liberties with the credit at all.

...as I have stated on another thread, I believe his address to be his most presidential moment.

 

[shoots-straight]

Sour grapes, on a grand moment. There's certainly been enough mistakes through the years trying to get this guy. It's nice to finally have him gone. Now, I hope his computers show the next dozen or so heads that will roll.

In statement to the Nation today, Obama states, "It's like I lost a family member"

first time I can say that I did not disagree with him. still surprised he had the nerve to give the mission a go. but, it's done, and it is a good thing.

big props to our military for getting the job done.

enhanced interrogation

How long before the lib puzzies start denouncing the methods used to garner info about Bin Laden's whereabouts?

won't happen since obama made the call. but, they will blame Bush.

Obama finds out yesterday Seal team six took out Osama, turns out Obama thought they acted "stupidly", upset that there will be no beer summit 2011. But decides to face the nation and make the best of the situation. kudos to him.

 

[Blacktailbc]

.......This just in , Osama Bin Laden was killed yesterday.
In other news Chuck Norris just returned from a weekend getaway in Pakistan.

Pakistan can put that in their pipe and smoke it.
And of course any president would have ordered the attack the that sucker head...how could they not?
Call me old fashion but in the old days when the outlaw was shot up the outlaw's body was shown to the public even sometimes with silver dollars on the eye lids. I want to see a picture like most everyone else...and I know there was a gun shot to the head but with a little makeup or a ball cap....

 

[schmalts]

double post..

 

[schmalts]

It is now said that the way they found him was through info used from waterboarding. They got names of his couriers that delivered messages and tracked them by phone leading them to Bin laden's complex. Gee, guess who the most vocal about waterboarding as not being something we should do to the detainees

I'm glad the last faces he saw was American Navy Seals.Not looking forward to all the un-American's that will 2nd guess if he's really dead since he was dumped at sea so quick.This is a great victory for our guys working hard over there.I would have found it hard to give him a respectful burial if I was in charge,but we're not terrorists either.At least theres no site for those knuckleheads to worship
Now they know we don't give up the hunt.I bet the #2 guy isn't sleeping well tonight or any of them for that matter

 

[DRAFTSTUD]

Keeping it real in my thinking OBL was the one that ran the Day Care. Now that he is out of Command will we see Kamikaze Al Quadea groups everywhere and what measures is Obama ready to do to counter this. Just glad he is dead. John
