Remember all on the left claiming Bush's Clubgetmo was the largest AQ recruiting tool ever. Of course when Obama came into office Clubgetmo miraculously was no more a problem.

Now we have another recruiting tool. Killing of OBL. Now I never believed for a second Clubgetmo was ever a recruiting tool for AQ and if so, I could care less. But now AQ has announced they are going to take revenge and it would seems that killing OBL is the next big recruiting tool. But for me I could give a rats ass and am damn glad the bastard is dead

But you on the left should be up in arms over this new recruiting tool set off by Obama. Just saying.

And the usual suspects come up with some crazy as usual.
Really, are you sad Osama gots a boo-boo....
That fuck got two in the head, not the perfect end for that human garbage, but a vast improvement over the situation that prevailed before.

[huntbytnkbel]

You on the right should be swearing fealty to your new master who sends troops into sovereign countries to accomplish his military goals. Yes, the left should be outraged and the right should be voting for Obama next election.

I'm not really holding my breath.

Of course OBL getting away with attacking the US, killing thousands of civilians and living in a mansion for 10 years probably was a damn good recruiting tool as well since it showed how weak the US is.

It's almost as surprising as how gleeful some liberals are about a state-sanctioned assassination in an allied country.

ahoy CYDharta,

oh, i don't know about that matey. i thought 'bout it this mornin' o'er me eggs and toast. i mean, what if Mr. Bin Laden threw his mitts up in the air and was beggin' fer mercy at the moment them special forces burst into his room?

should they have shot'm in the noggin'?

i don't know if that be the right thing...but i can't admit to be bein' saddened that he met his demise.

Read my post, I'm all for what Obama did, but the OP was about you liberals all up in arms about Bush's Clubgetmo being the biggest AQ recruiting too and once Obama took office, it miraculously was not a recruiting tool for AQ anymore.

Now Obama goes into a sovereign nation and kills the AQ leader and AQ says they are going to retaliate. Thus making this killing of their AQ leader the biggest recruiting tool ever and not one word said about that from you liberals, no Clubpink, nothing.

I have said all along Clubgetmo was not a recruiting tool and I could give a shit if AQ, what's left of them, is pissed we killed their leader. But you liberals are all now OK with Clubgetmo and going into a sovereign nation and killing people, even civilians with drone attacks, you liberals must think that act alone will be used by AQ as a recruiting tool.

It's just fun to watch you liberal bitch about Bush and Clubgetmo and then as soon as Obama is in office everything is all OK. All the AQ recruiting tools under Obama, now do not exist.

ahoy CYDdharta,

'nother thing i wanted to add, matey.

while 'tis true i be sheddin' no tears fer the passin' 'o Osama Bin Laden, if anyone suggests that this successful mission to kill him now vindicates our decade long war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the trillions that we'll end up spendin on them conflicts, the many deaths we've both suffered and inflicted....i'd laugh in thar face.

Well you can blame Obama for continuing the wars you mention but you forgot one, Obama started a 3rd war.

That depends on whether you're an idealist or a realist. If you're a realist, you'd support bin Laden's assassination; as you would understand all the problems trying bin Laden would cause. It was a necessary evil; but then again, you'd support the War on Terrorism as a necessary evil as well.


If you're an idealist that believes terrorists have rights, should receive a trial etc., then you should agree with Howard Dean's statements from a while back;

"I will have this old-fashioned notion that even with people like Osama, who is very likely to be found guilty, we should do our best not to, in positions of executive power, not to prejudge jury trials."

..

"When we capture Osama bin Laden, he will be brought to justice and treated in the same manner that President Bush is recommending for Saddam Hussein." Dean: Bin Laden guilt best determined by jury - CNN

Candidate Obama was an outspoken idealist; President Obama's assassination order was undeniably hypocritical.

Your hindsight is fantastic ... and useless. What was your opinion on 9/12/01? If it wasn't that we need to use the military to crush al Qaeda and get bin Laden, you were among a very very small minority.

I think people are slowly starting to realize that Gitmo was a necessary evil, just like assassinating OBL without Pakistan's permission was necessary.

It's all just one war.

I totally agree, I just wish they came to that conclusion sooner rather than latter.

hail CYDharta,

we all have hindsight, matey. mine be based on what i've seen come to pass o'er the last ten years 'o me life....i look back on the journey we've sailed and i have found it kinda errant.

i think its okies fer me to make that observation, and hopefully we'll learn from it next time we set our compass towards the future.

For an attack like 9/11, against an organization that was big enough to be an army, war was the only workable response. YOu don't send the NYPD or the FBI after a 5000-strong militia force. We wouldn't do that even if it was Montana. We'd send in the National Guard.

I was among that minority, which was incidentally about the same number of people who claim to be atheists in America.

Chew on that.
