ot: Bin laden is dead

[quote=Arraya]Yeah – because it’s natural that the first thing you do when you kill the man you’ve been hunting for more than a decade…and spent billions in finding him….you destroy any scrap of evidence of the killing by quickly disposing of the body.[/quote]

Thank you.

There were rumors OBL was sick. Maybe his family has him on a death bed in Saudi and agreed to let the U.S. kill him (wink-wink) and dispose of the body.

Just strange the way it was handled. I just talked to someone late last night who was tied up w/work for 2 days w/no radio or tv. Told her he’s dead. Reaction was surprise and excitement, “Wow. Really?” “Oh, and they dumped his body at sea.” Response: “Then I don’t believe it.”

I travel in variable circles. And all those circles have had different outlooks on politics, economy, real estate, etc. Interesting that the first reaction from most on this is disbelief.

Or they killed him and the body buried at sea was not his. The killing him is plausible. There is certainly a lot we will never know. Maybe it was a joint operation, for instance, seems like it but Pakistan can’t admit it. They could have given him sanctuary but eventually traded him in. Maybe while they did harbor him the U.S knew about it all along, but didn’t want to kill him yet.

If OBL is dead, any terrorist actions they had planned may continue on their original timelines. If he is alive, all planned actions must be cancelled or executed immediately – before we can get the intel out of OBL.

But if we have him, and have lied about him being alive, everything we get is actionable. If we did capture him, it is in the national interest to make the world think he is dead.

[quote=UCGal] I’m not defending Bush or Obama. Not giving credit to one “side” or the other. Unlike Brian, I don’t see this as a team thing where you pick a team to root for and ignore any faults of that team.

UCGal, you’re a better person than me.

I just find it disingenuous that some convervatives proclaim “they all equally suck” after they are all done cheering for their team.

Humm…. suddenly a change of heart. How convenient.

Remember during the campaign when they made all kinds of excuses for Palin and argued that she was a credible candidate? What a joke that was.
