DC Tom Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Turns out, being president doesn't afford you the luxury of focusing on one thing all of the time... Not these days. But I remember when that was the expectation, way back in the 2000's.
/dev/null Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Is the Bin Laden story now replacing Obama's birth certificate? Pretty pathetic. Truthers were replaced by Birthers Birthers are being replaced by Deathers The King is dead. Long live the King!
DC Tom Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Is the Bin Laden story now replacing Obama's birth certificate? Pretty pathetic. But it's not like it wasn't entirely predictable.
Captain Hindsight Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 But it's not like it wasn't entirely predictable. Yes we should really worry about a birth certificate. Most wanted man in the world? nah, not important
DC Tom Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Yes we should really worry about a birth certificate. Most wanted man in the world? nah, not important My response was based on interpreting his statement as "Is the Bin Laden CONSPIRACY story now replacing Obama's birth certificate CONSPIRACY?" You !@#$ing nitwit.
Buftex Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Not these days. But I remember when that was the expectation, way back in the 2000's. Gotta admit (so you don't need to pronounce me an "idiot"...I got that!) I am not sure what you mean here.
DC Tom Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Gotta admit (so you don't need to pronounce me an "idiot"...I got that!) I am not sure what you mean here. Generally, Bush received lots of flak for not focusing on one thing at a time. Idiot.
Buftex Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Generally, Bush received lots of flak for not focusing on one thing at a time. Idiot. Okay...I thought that is what you meant...but that is not at all how I remember things...quite the opposite in fact.
truth on hold Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) Another odd item: they say OBL didn't get capped until the final 5 minutes of a 40 minute shoot out. After initially disclosing he had a weapon, they retracted and said he had none. Question: how could OBL not be armed knowing there was a shootout taking place wherein he was the ultimate target, given 35 minutes to prepare? If the time and status of his armement is now accurate, I can only think of a) he was praying knowing the end was near or b) he had decided to surrender, and they capped him anyway.

So if I tie all your posts together, the Seal Team 6 consists of mechanically inept, pilot error-prone gomers out for a homicidal joyride in Pakistan? Good summary so far?

Good summary so far? Only because you can't trust The Man. And because blind criticism is better than intelligent criticism.
truth on hold Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) So frick and frack have no answers (no surprise there), anyone else want to give it a shot? Edited May 5, 2011 by Joe_the_6_pack
Joe Miner Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 So frick and frack have no answers (no surprise there), anyone else want to give it a shot? What if they had just launched a missile from a drone instead of sending in a Seal team? Would it have mattered if bin Laden was armed/praying/naked/smoking weed/doing the hokey pokey/etc... when the missile blew his ass up? Why does it matter that same objective was accomplished with a different tool?
DC Tom Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 So frick and frack have no answers (no surprise there), anyone else want to give it a shot? Didn't realize your drivel deserved a response. Hell, I didn't even read it.
truth on hold Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Just trying to find out how it all went down. You Joe, what's your deal?
GG Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 So frick and frack have no answers (no surprise there), anyone else want to give it a shot? What answers do you want? You're picking through statements made by people at least three levels removed from the action, with much information subject to heavy redaction. So yeah, there will be inconsistencies, because they don't want to tell the whole story to morons like you and me just to soothe some wacked out curiousity gene and you will move on to the next conspiracy story.
Joe Miner Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Just trying to find out how it all went down. You Joe, what's your deal? I don't have a deal. They killed him. I'm happy. Good job all involved. Let's get back to fixing the current issues this country is facing instead of trying to stir up some new irrelevant ones. Has there ever been a political/military story that when it initially came out and had the complete correct story with all the necessary facts and supporting evidence?
Rob's House Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 This whole situation has defined Obama for who he is. He gets a win that is sure to bring nearly universal good will, and he's such a politician that in the midst of trying to squeeze all the political capital he can out of this, he even finds a way to !@#$ that up. His post partisan b.s. about bringing people together is obscene. In my lifetime no President has been close to this partisan, or campaigned around the clock like this dirty, stupid, mother!@#$er. Imagine your the ring-a-ding Pres. You 86 OBL, everyone's happy, even half your detractors want to give you a pat on the back, so you give a speech to jerk yourself off for following policies you preached against, take full credit without so much as a reach around for the other people who led to this, then you go on the "I got OBL Spring Tour", and stop by Ground Zero a few days later for a jerk me off photo op. What a dickless wonder this guy is.

Rob's House Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Hey Rob, no need to sugar coat it. Tell us how you really feel. Sometimes I just want to have a good rant. Not my most eloquent work, but I feel better now.
