Rani Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 And Barack Obama just won the 2012 election. Love him, hate him, or just wish he'd do some things better, the value of this will boost him politically all the way through the election. It removes one of those pessimistic swords that almost everyone has felt hanging over our heads since 9/11. It's an enormous blow to terrorism overall because it shows that we don't give up. It may take us a decade to find your ass but attack us and we will never stop until you're as dead as our citizens. I don't think it's a good thing to celebrate the death of anyone, even our worst most dangerous enemy, but I don't think anyone can remotely deny we don't all feel safer that he's gone. I will say this though to our military, especially those Special Forces who accomplished this.... Good job guys. Very, very good job!

Chreees Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Yeah, it's awesome and everything, but what will it really change? I see this giving the American people a sense of accomplishment, but in reality some goon is just going to take his place. Also, he had a plan for in case he died. I'm sure that plan will now be carried out. I see this as the beginning of horrible things to come. I hope to god I'm wrong...

ChicagoRSX Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I think it's premature to say Obama has just won 2012. This will boost his approval rate temporarily, but I think the state of the economy will be more crucial for the next election. But I must say god bless the special forces that did this, and a nod to pakistan for their part in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 People seem to forget that it was George W. Bush that spearheaded this movement. Was he in office when Osama was taken down? No. But he put in motion the necessary measurements that lead to this moment. Don't be foolish and think for a second that we would have Osama right now if it wasn't for the effort Bush put in -- like him or hate him, he still did amazing things for this country.

He didn't believe it was possible and he never doubted his decisions when he was making them so he never had the chance to turn around.

Chreees Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I wanna know why so many people are freaking out saying Obama took credit for this. When did he take credit for it? It's blowing up my gorram Facebook feed. Yeah, it was soldiers who went in and killed bin Laden. Why are people saying Obama's acting like he killed him himself? Obama had good intelligence and made the order. That's all. I watched Obama's address and not once did I hear him "brag about it." This is some highly unintelligent shit.

noodle Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) Barak Obama doesn't deserve much praise other than that he let the military do their jobs. The real heroes are the ones who personally stalked Bin Ladin and pulled the trigger. They put their lives on the line and probably won't ever get the personal attention they deserve for killing one of the most evil men of our time.

TheyCallMeDave Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I applaud the troops and special forces for their hard work, I give my respect to President Obama for finishing out a crucial and grueling operation against our opposing forces. Let us take a sigh of relief on the fact that terrible man is gone. However... I don't think we need to be worrying about how awesome we did, I think we need to remember we are in a chess match, and turning our heads to celebrate is going to get us nowhere. As Obama said (and Chris, lol) Theis is ONE crucial move in many yet to come. Back to work, and focusing on the ultimate goal. Who took credit for Bin Laden's kill is not going to make him any more deceased than he is, or the path ahead of us any easier. Then again, what the hell do I know. I'm a 18 year old music major. This is just what I see from the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustafabey Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Wow! Woke to this news this morning. Its mind boggling. UBL is dead. Rani says Obama just won the 2012 election. Quite possible,but I see that his detractors are already at work to disconnect him and to nullify the credit that he justly deserves. Yes, the American military,Navy Seals pulled off the op with brilliance,but one must remember the Obama is commander in chief. So all you folks that want to deny Obama any credit, think what you would be saying if the op failed and Americans were killed. Oh boy,Obama would surely get credit for that. Like it or not folks,Mr.Obama is the President of United States and Commander in Chief. All of you that work so hard to destroy him(the usual subjects,Beck,Limbaugh,Palin,Trump, etc) are actually hurting the nation. As I have always said,its mostly about race. Too many White Americans can't deal with a Black in the White House. But,at least this much needed job was done,thanks to our valiant men in uniform,who do the job regardless of the skin color of the man in DC.Oh, the fear mongers are at work,impending nuclear holocaust,courtesy of al Qaeda. Let us remember the 3,000 or so who gave their lives at WTC,or the troops that died while bravely trying to root out Osama in the Hindu Kush. But he was hiding in plain site in the middle of down town Pakistan, amazing. ISI has got some explaining to do. Abbotobad is the site of Pakistan's military academy and not far from the capital,Islamabad. It would be like Osama was hiding in Annapolis. Pause and say a prayer for those people whose lives were irrevocably shattered by the actions of Bin Laden and his gang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
