Not that your fat-addled brain understands the point that I am making, but, no a shot in the face is NOT the same a drone, in most people's opinions it would be more humane than a drone since they actually saw the person they were killing.

When you kill someone with a drone you are dropping a 500lb bomb from 30,000ft on people that you can't even see, let alone have them even attempt to fight back.

We could have done that to Osama and it would have been not a big deal, but for some reason getting shot in the face is a lot worse than anonymous death from above...

Originally posted by Joss Weatherby It was a hit. Live with it, its how war works. We do this shit every week with RPV attacks (drones), I know a number of the people that do them, quite well actually, one of them recently moved from flying them to teaching others in the USAF to fly them. I read or heard a good quote about how hits like this are actually a progression in warfare. Instead of waging war against an entire country (this time Pakistan) we can go in an surgically remove who we need to and usually do it pretty well. There is no doubt in my mind that this would have worked in Iraq. Why we need hundreds of thousands of boots on the ground is beyond me when the nations we are fighting are as a whole not raising arms against us.

Jesus Christ. The call was to kill that sociopathic fuck. We did. Good riddance. Stop worrying about the rights of a terrorist who would gladly cut off your head if he could, and think of the fucking money we just saved on security measures, lawsuits, and a decade of court trials if bin Laden would have been brought into the country alive.

Despite this, him not advancing some threatening form of resistance mandates that he be taken into custody, as killing him in such a capacity would be inconsistent with the rules of engagement.

Don't make me pull out my 'If we _______, then the terrorists have won!' card on you.

I'm not 100% sure on the definition of a troll but if it means playing devils advocate then yes I'm a troll.

The difference between me and most of the people posting here whom support the validity of the white house statement is that they seem so cock-sure about their views while I'm open to different possibilities and am simply suggesting realistic alternative situations.

EDIT: I think that a person who believes something so adamantly "just because the government said so" is just as stupid as a person who does the opposite.

yes I agree... so the logical conclusion must be that bin Laden did try to pull something, per your earlier box quote from Panetta:

quote:

Panetta said that bin Laden made "some threatening moves that were made that clearly represented a clear threat to our guys. And that's the reason they fired." The SEALs were back in the U.S. at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington for debriefing on the raid, lawmakers said after meeting with Panetta. "And obviously, under the rules of engagement, if he had in fact thrown up his hands, surrendered and didn't appear to be representing any kind of threat, then they were to capture him. But they had full authority to kill him."

Wow, does anyone give a shit that he was essentially murdered? I don't. I'm sure there are millions upon millions of Americans and people around the globe that feel the same.

Bunch of hippie fucks.

The bombs were also to take him into custody if he complied, but had full authority to kill him.

i dont think millions of dollars were spent on saddam's WMD trial do you?

bas raises a good point though.. imagine the amount of capital that would have been generated by fox broadcasting had his trial been publicized like OJ simpson.

Bas you smart SOB
