Osama bin laden dead

Obama did it in 2.

I like how he said the bush administration and everyone else involved worked on this for years with no success, then all of a sudden HE (Obama) organized everything last week and got it all set into place to take usama out. Way to take all the credit obama. Im sure you had a lot to do with it

Al Qaeda is responsible for more than just one incident of terrorism around the world so why just focus on one incident? Is that not extremely disrespectful to all the other victims and their families?

I was addressing the topic at hand of Bin Laden, but fine, BOTH instances by you saying 'who cares?' is incredibly disrespectful to anyone that has been effected by either of those situations..

Your reaching pretty far here though...

I'm not a kind of guy that gets into this kind of stuff to much, but its so disrespectful to just say 'who cares?' Sometimes its better just not to say anything or to read what your about to post, before you post it

I generally agree with your other statement. I think people were saying that this is probably not the time to make it......We should all be glad one less slimeball is on this planet......

while I don't agree with theonedru's post I don't see how it's disrespectful to anyone, directly effected by the attacks or not.

I see the comment as being one similar to people saying "Why are we concentrating on X when Y is way more important." Honestly there are many things that need to be done. You can't just work on the top priority one... you work on multiple items at the same time.

9/11
2 wars
Thousands dead
An economy suffering for years

The American people have not been able to celebrate a victory until now. 10 years of war on the Middle East has taken a toll on us. Osama's death is a great day for those who wish peace in the world. Is the war on terrorism over? No. I wish we could bring the troops home. Al Qaeda is still a threat; end of one era begins a new era. We should step up offensive operations in the Middle East to wipe out what is left of Al Qaeda. Kick them while they are down.

I really hope photos of Osama are released. I do believe he's dead but there are many doubters out there.

Osama was buried at sea following Islamic tradition. A soil burial risks a chance of his body being desecrated. I don't believe the man deserves a proper burial but the war is on terror not Islam. Obama and Co. did the right PR move. I hope video footage of the sea burial is released.

Apparently there is a WikiLeaks report saying a bomb is hidden and set to go off following Osama's death/capture.

How ironic.
May 1st, 1945-Germany announces Hitler dead.
May 1st, 2003-Bush's mission accomplished speech.
May 1st, 2011-Osama dead.

I hope that is not true, but thats all i was thinking about last night watching the news. There are going to be a lot of sleepers hanging out trying to get revenge on us as a country for taking out their leader. I live near the mall of america that was one of the top targets on the list a while back to hit after 911 so i will be staying away from there for a long time. I just hope we can catch these people before they even try to do anything. Its a great moment for us, but we have to keep our guard up and keep watch because we all know its not over yet

I saw his comment as a comparison of a terrorist who has committed various human atrocities to a group of politicians that have a different political philosophy than his. Equating the two is disgusting, let alone, calling the politicians a bigger threat than OBL. Commentary such as that belongs on FOX, not here.

REALLY, well for your information, and this doesn't even scratch the surface

1. Operation Cyclone.

2. Former Guatemalan Defence Minister Gramajo Morales, who was guilty of such things as the torture of an American nun and the massacre of eight people from one family as well as many other human rights violations due to torture and such, studied at Harvard University on a US government scholarship.

3. The former chief of the El Salvador army in the 80's responsible for thousands of murders by his death squads now lives comfortably in Florida.

4. Haitian dictator, General Prosper Avril granted political asylum in USA.

5. One of Pol Pot's senior henchmen resides in Mount Vernon, New York.

and the cream of the crop

Fort Benning in Georgia aka School of the Americas its graduates include

almost half the cabinet ministers of the genocidal regimes in Guatemala, two thirds of the El Salvadoran army officers who committed, according to the United Nations, the worst atrocities of that country's civil war, and the head of Pinochet's secret police, who ran Chile's concentration camps.

All the sudden the US government is not so different from them are they?
