10356. vonKreedon - 6/4/2012 9:55:29 PM Well, I'm very much in favor of such assassinations; I wish that we'd do much less killing of AQ leaders with missiles and bombs and a lot more by SpecOps guys on the ground. There's more control of the violence and who gets killed with guys on the ground, plus all the intel we get from being able to take things from the people/grounds.
I do not believe that you really oppose the killing of ObL, just that it was done on Obama's authority. 10357. concerned - 6/4/2012 10:29:51 PM I had no problem with Bush not having Saddam killed, and I happen to believe that if the US takes it upon itself to assassinate foreign nationals that this increases the likelihood of some of them repaying US officials in kind.
Then there is the matter of Gerals Ford's executive order prohibiting assassinations. What of that?
Plus capturing bin Laden alive and handing him over to the Afghani government in the way that things were handled with Iraq would tend to increase the authority of the Afghani government which could then try bin Laden according to its own laws.
Instead the 0bama administration acted in the way that you Lefties were so fond of accusing the Bush Administration of - like 'cowboys' and 'vigilantes'.
Perhaps this will make my position more clear to you. 10358. arkymalarky - 6/4/2012 10:56:09 PM You're still wrong about the mission cond 10359. Wombat - 6/4/2012 11:19:38 PM There is no f---ing way this country would have tolerated handing OBL over to the Afghans. One of the many differences between OBL and Saddam is that OBL was directly responsible for the deaths of American citizens on American soil. Furthermore, at very least, your Republican friends would have had an unholy, raving shitfit (and you along with them). Talk about Obama being weak, etc., yadda yadda.
There appears to be literally no depth that you are not capable of sinking to in your derangement about Obama. Beneath all your "crocodile tears," your only regret is that George Bush had more important priorities (such as invading Iraq) to bother with OBL, despite his "get him dead or alive" blustering.
I doubt that anyone on this site would have come out with the crap you've been posting, had OBL met his end during the Bush administration. I sure as hell wouldn't have. 10360. arkymalarky - 6/5/2012 2:37:53 AM Wombat, don't you remember how Con'd got so indignant about Bush's "dead or alive" remark, and all his posts calling for due process? I'm sure they're in the archives. 10361. Wombat - 6/5/2012 2:23:55 PM Arky. No I don't, and I spent way more time in the archives than was remotely productive. If chooses, he can produce it, and I will apologize for an instance of principle in a mass of partisan outrage snd intellectual dishonesty. 10362. arkymalarky - 6/5/2012 3:33:50 PM I was being sarcastic 10363. Wombat - 6/5/2012 4:37:51 PM Ah... 10364. judithathome - 6/5/2012 5:45:11 PM We all know exactly how Con'd would have celebrated had Bush followed through on his "dead" part of the hollow boast he made back in the day...we'd have had fifty plus celebratory posts, almost dripping with gleeful spittle. 10365. concerned - 6/5/2012 10:25:51 PM Re 10359 -
I would certainly have noted the inconsistency if Bush would have assassinated bin Laden and not Saddam.
I remember a couple of Lefties who would have gleefully savaged Bush for years on end if he had assassinated bin Laden the way 0bama did (like JadeSphincter and Clueless-Cliff). And Wombat and JAH wouldn't have made a peep of criticism about 'partisan outrage and intellectual dishonesty' if they had which pretty much neutralizes all Wombat's frothing in the here and now.
10366. judithathome - 7/20/2012 6:39:31 PM Congratulations, NRA...your beliefs in action!
Nutcase kills 12, injures over 50 at Batman movie in Aurora CO...
Don't tell me the lax gun laws aren't to blame.... 10367. concerned - 7/21/2012 10:33:59 AM And Brian Ross of ABC News misidentified the gunman, James Holmes, age 24 as James Holmes, age 52, of the Colorado Tea Party Patriots.
The MSM has sunk to the point where all they need is a name tied to a political affiliation they oppose and they are willing to smear that individual with any crime or wrongdoing whatsoever. Forget requiring corroborating evidence. Forget even cursory checking - the MSM has devolved into a tool of the Democrat Party that has no conscience, ethics nor honesty.
I hope James Holmes, age 52, sues ABC News for slander to the tune of a huge settlement.
I think 'gun laws' are a small part of the picture. This kind of nut would have obtained guns regardless of the laws. 10368. concerned - 7/21/2012 10:46:09 AM James Holmes the shooter was a university student who dyed his hair green to more closely resemble the Joker, and clearly had problems distinguishing reality from fantasy - such behavior *is* much more associated with a particular political party.
It should come as no surprise that the large majority of armed offenses are committed by Left leaning perpetrators. For instance, about 98% of all inner city gun violence. Maybe we should pass laws preventing people who vote Democrat from possessing firearms? (that was tongue in cheek, JAH, so please unflip your lid). 10369. concerned - 7/21/2012 10:58:48 AM How well are Chicago's restrictive handgun laws working, that require a training course, background check with fingerprinting and $100 fee every three years? Not at all, according to everybody familiar with the current surge in Chicago murders.
Gee. Why is it still a surprise to gun grabbing nanny staters that crooks ignore gun laws? Probably because they don't have the intellectual capital to buy a clue. 10370. concerned - 7/21/2012 11:06:47 AM Proof that Lefties commit the large majority of all murders using guns in the US
Unless one wants to make to make the ridiculous assertion that inner cities are not almost uniformly 95+% Democrat. 10371. concerned - 7/21/2012 11:08:21 AM So maybe Democrats need to look at changing their own behavior if they want to reduce weapons offenses. 10372. Wombat - 7/21/2012 3:14:57 PM "distinguishing reality from fantasy - such behavior *is* much more associated with a particular political party."
Guess that makes him a Republican...

Someone tell Dick Cheney.... 10375. Wombat - 7/21/2012 10:51:06 PM 10370:
That's a logical leap only you could pull off, Concerned. Leaving aside the fact--from the article--that most of the offenses are committed by people too young to vote.
However, since you like pulling stuff out of your ass, I'll play along: Most neonazis in America are found in conservative communities, Concerned is conservative, therefore he is a neonazi. Sig heil, dude!
