Bin laden dead

[patrick0685]

Did anyone hear Mendenhall's comments? The Steelers RB...

no what did he say?

[Mtn.man]

Steelers should trade him for 5 goats and send his ass to Pakistan.


At the very least he should now be on the Watch List.

no what did he say?

''I believe in God. I believe we're ALL his children. And I believe HE is the ONE and ONLY judge.''
''Those who judge others, will also be judged themselves.''
''For those of you who said you want to see Bin Laden burn ... I ask how would God feel about your heart?''
''There is not an ignorant bone in my body. I just encourage you to think.''
Mendenhall's string of tweets ended around 6 p.m. Monday. He has not tweeted since.

When did people get so soft and opinionated that ridding evil is something we have to be apologetic for it and always say the flip side 'pc' comment? I'm stoked that Osama is dead, and off the face of the earth...

Obama killed Osama....it rhymes!

When a country supposedly cooperative with us helps hide him, intentionally misleads us, and doesn't let our military in (officially anyway), it makes it a little tough to find the bastard.

And in response to that article...
What, you really think we should have accepted that deal? We don't negotiate with terrorists, period. And they'd keep on doing their crap had we taken it, that wouldn't have changed. Their deal was they'll tell us where bin Laden is if we stop bombing them and give them evidence that he was a BG.... oh man what a deal lol.

So it was worth the ten years of pointless fighting in the wrong country, two wars, billions of dollars, over 5000 killed or crticially woundeed, and the utter destruction of our economic stability? Bin laden dead doesn't mean all terrorism suddenly comes to a stop, he actually led a pretty small group compared to the ones in sotuh east asia. He wasn't even really a hero for most muslim extremist groups. Most of the people we fight in afghanistan aren't even part of his sect, which is why they were going to turn him over.

I said it before: I'm glad he was neutralized. The taking of a life does no one honor(extra credit if you can name the movie quote). It was a necessary task, as are many others that will not receive anywhere near this level of attention from the average citizen. I'm not really convinced we're any safer after 2 TRILLION dollars have been spent in the "war on terror", but I thank and honor those that have served our country in it's name.

you have a very narrow minded and flawed understanding of foreign policy and economics.

if somebody hassled me about it I'd say "I don't rejoice in death, I rejoice in the doing of justice"

We can split hairs on 'the war', lets face it. War is never good, it's one of the worst things humankind does. But...war is a necessity, I truly believe that. War is a necessity, because evil is real, tangible and prevalent in our global society. So did we spend all of that money and time, JUST for Osama...no. It makes me wonder from your comment, how should we have reacted according to you? Well...he took responsibility for 9/11 but its really gonna take us a lot of time and money, so we will let this one slide...getcha next time! Do I expect Osama's death to make a radical change? Not at all, but bottom line is that sack of stool killed Americans on our soil, for that...I'd hunt someone for 10 years too.
