he was "ordered" killed i hear murder osama never had a trial, so he is considered innocent untill proven guilty admitting the crime just asks for an investigation, it does not "prove" you are guilty
Osama Bin Laden was supposedly shooting back and using a woman as a human shield. The soldiers had to kill him in self-defense!
irrelevant, i read he was ordered to be killed by barrack and the wording from his speech confirms that action "ordered to kill" not to capture, kill... the intent to kill was there long before osama held that specific ak47 and women, one might claim in self defence idiots made a martyr out of him in stead of letting him make a fool of himself in some rotten prison sure, i dont blame the squad that took him down for taking the kill, he was holding guns etc with high probability... but i blame the president for "ordering a kill" and getting rid of the body and thus, sealing his fate forever as a martyr
The president has very little control over operatives suchs as DEVGRU. The president shorta just pointed the finger in a general direction. I wouldn't be surprised if his role was much less, because foreign policy and military was never a campaigning point for Obama.
Obama said the killing OR capture of osama bin laden was the top priority, this wasn't an assassination.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNYmK19-d0U listen again solokiller, it was not intended to capture him... or at least barrack wants it to look like that publicly making it sound like a field execution
Blizzy, the context of the quote was that Obama did not want to do an airstrike on the compound. It would have risked killing civilians and not being able to identify his body afterward. This is pretty clear from any of the articles about the planning and executing of this operation.
also, evidence? i only trust the american administration as far as i can throw it ... may i remind you? in german there is a saying: "wer einmal lügt den glaubt man nicht, auch wenn er mal die wahrheit spricht ..." also: vs: 3000 killed in the WTC "attacks". over 100000 dead in the (most recent) irak war - though there is absolutely no evidence of ANY CONNECTION to islamic terrorism. i wouldnt run through streets yelling "usa, usa, usa, ..." war criminals, thats what you are - surrender, bush, cheney, powell, rice and their kind to an international court of justice.
when the government doesn't need to spend money on healthcare, proper public education systems and public transportation there is billions left for military and invading small countries :/ EDIT: forgot public retirement funds, welfare and unemployment benefits. EDITEDIT: and non profit societies like Scoutgroups and brass bands ands and volunteer fire brigades...
Who cares if he was ordered to be killed without a fair trial, the whole world hated him anyway except for his ass bag friends.
because if empiresmod was the whole world in that scenario, you would be dead the same way osama went just think about that
Yeah but that's sort of a small reference pool. You're saying 'it's ok to kill grantrithor because a few people on a forum hate him' compared to 'it's ok to kill osama because an appreciable fraction of humanity hate him'. You're scaling down the reference pool but not the action, the correct method would be to scale both down, so it becomes 'it's ok to ban grantrithor because people on the forum hate him' which IS standard practice.
i doubt that most people outside the "civilized world" like george w. called it have much of a clue who osame bin laden even was. there was a recent survey in afghanistan and the vast majority (id rather not say numbers since i cant remember) didnt even know whats so special about 9/11 or why those jerks in khaki are in their country playing rock songs while they shoot at ppl ...
src: http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/05/03/white-house-corrects-bin-laden-narrative no shit - he didnt say, "oh please kill me" when the killer commando came? what an evil bastard - clearly an act of self defense by the us troops ... in a way i would want to know what he knew - but then id have to fear my life ...
