    I'd go with take him alive (if possible), and use effective interogation techniques (not torture) until he told us everything we wanted to know. Try him in court, and if found guilty, let him rot in solitary confinement for the rest of his life. When he dies, return his body to his family to be buried as they see fit. I put the importance of American values and security above the importance of sick revenge fantasies. I'll bet you might feel differently if it were your wife and kids, brother, sister, mom, dad, "brother-in-arms", who were about to be killed by a person who has sworn to do so and has demonstrated his willingness to follow through. If that prisoner had information that would help you to save thier lives, I'll bet you'd be willing to cut his fingers off one by one.

    What does that have to do with rights afforded U.S. citizens under our Constitution?
  3. jaybird18c
    He's not American, he declared war on us, killed our people, and it's war, he's a foreign terrorist, not an American citizen with rights under our constitution.

    Just an observation. You found it necessary to qualify your critique in order not to offend any Muslims who might read it. It doesn't seem necessary or even desired to offer the same courtesy here with regard to the Bible and Christians. Just find it interesting.

    Take him alive, if possible, and waterboard him every day for the rest of his life until he told us everything we wanted to know about his organization, their plans, and the whereabouts of his people. If it was impractical to take him alive, he'd get a 5.56mm to the forehead. He wouldn't be "read his rights." He might just get a burial in a pig pen.

    That's not as cool as sharks with friggin lasers on their heads.

    I love the slip of the tongue that everyone including news reporters seem to keep making saying Obama insread of Osama.

    This is war people.

    Both.

    For the exact same reason it is OK to shoot a criminal in the middle of an arrest if he fights back, but it is not OK to hook a car battery up to his balls once back at the station. I'd opt for the battery if he had actionable info that would save the lives of my guys.

    Just a guess. I could be wrong. I'd bet that, if you happened to be a prisoner in a Taliban camp, where they'd beaten, raped, and tortured you for weeks and planned to hang you soon publicly from a sign post at the entrance of town for all (especially their women) to see, you might be overjoyed for a Spec Ops team to bust in at night and shoot each one of your captors in the forehead and get you to safety. Would you still be very upset over the attrocity of killing those who did so much harm to you? Or would you have an overwhelming sense of joy to still be alive? Again...I could be wrong. Reality just seems to change opinions sometimes.

    I guess that's where we differ significantly. If I just saved my family (or even myself for that matter) from someone in my house who wishes to do us harm...even if I had to make that person "assume room temperature"...I would be ellated and sleep like a baby that night...after I calmed down, that is. It is not "an attrocity" to protect what is yours. Some things are worth dying for. "Don't Tread on Me!"

    Dude...no problem. I loved being on the team. I'd still be there if I was single with no really small children. I'd do it all again. I also didn't post that to boast. I do not like coming across that way. I am proud of my service but not in that way. I only did it because it felt a little strange (I'm sure it was my pride) being "called out" on combat experience by a girl. Guess I'm just from another generation. NO OFFENCE INTENDED for those women out there who have served. I deeply respect your service. I mean that. Just struck me as odd. I respect anyone...and I mean anyone who is willing to pick up a rifle and stand with me. I don't care who you are.

    Obama is an ego-maniac but (and I never thought I'd say this) if I saw him right now, I'd want to shake his hand. He is the Commander-in-chief, he had to make the decision, and he did good. Give credt where it is due.

    Would you be in favor of using deadly force at your disposal if someone broke into your house and threatened you or your family's life...or even killed one of them? The tyrant we just elliminated had people steal our planes, fly them in the airspace of our home country, and into our buildings, killing thousands of our family members...and planned to do more. Are you saying not to fight back?

    I served many years on an Army Special Forces Operational Detachment, was in Afghanistan in 2002.

    I know enough to say what I said and mean it. Added: That is a very bold statment of yours.
  18. jaybird18c
    Even worse.

    I wonder if someone would say such things if they'd actually fought for the cause and/or were very close to others who also did and died? I wonder if someone would say such things if their parents, wives/husbands, children were in those buildings which crumbled to the ground in flames? It really disgusts me to hear people criticize America after news like this. However, I do not regret fighting for your right to do so. God bless America!

    Wonder how long it will take the public to get back to all those important topics like the royal wedding, american idol, the catholic church making John Paul II a saint, if Charlie Sheen is still winning or not...etc.

    Now that's funny.

    Are you a moderator? (that is rhetorical)

    This is what I have heard as well I can't authenticate the pic below... Mod if it is not allowed, please remove it. http://photoblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/05/02/6568249-we-think-that-bin-laden-death-photo-just-the-photo-is-a-fake Do we have any confirmation of who actually did it? I mean, the SEAL's have a very good PR program. They are typically referred to by the ignorant media when it comes to spec ops. Not downplaying their victory if that's the case. Just saying it's not always them when it comes to small unit/direct action hits. The reason I ask is because I know that Green Berets working with CIA are the main players over there. I was on one of those teams. Not that it really matters, though. Good job to whoever did it! Been a long time coming.

    I have lost many friends in this very long fight. This is a great victory. USA!
