RW radio caller upset that Bin Laden didn't get a trial

[Renew Deal]

And says liberals are hypocrites for celebrating this. lol

[TwilightGardener]

1. LOL. Whatever happened to "let God sort them out"?

[Renew Deal]

2. It's always opposite day over there.

[freshwest]

20. Yep.

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

3. It's a Travesty!

No doubt wanted him tried in Federal Court in Manhattan! :)

[DevonRex]

4. LOL! Next they'll call him an "alleged" terrorist. Nt

[d_b]

5. riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

[no_hypocrisy]

6. Trial? RW-ers were in a fury that Guantanamo trials would be held

in New York City in a federal court versus a military court in Guantanamo. Think kangaroo court followed by firing squad.

[Initech]

7. We need to play that quote from Bush on every one of their damn shows.

[Libertas1776]

8. there are plenty of

DUers right now that share that sentiment. go figure. :eyes:

[glen123098]

9. what a bunch of shit.

According to the reports Osama had a gun and was firing it at the special forces. Its not like they went in there with the intent to murder bin Laden. Their intent was to capture if possible, and to kill only if neccessary. Unfortunately, capturing wasn't possible so they had to kill him. I'm so glad to see that right winger our insulting our troops now.

[rfranklin]

10. I think it was "suicide" by special forces...

You know, like the assholes who shoot up a school so the cops will shoot them.

[coalition_unwilling]

11. Please see this story from Reuters. You may find it

eye-opening. Then again, maybe not:

[justiceischeap]

16. Is this the same agency that ran photoshopped photos of dead OBL?

[girl gone mad]

21. Might want to try actually reading the link you posted.

It helps.

[coalition_unwilling]

23. Beats me. Your link references a 'blog' on Reuters. My link

is to a published story on Reuters. AFAIK, Reuters still enjoys a fairly high degree of journalistic credibility.

[girl gone mad]

17. Um, the mission was "kill, not capture" according to Reuters.

(Reuters) - The U.S. special forces team that hunted down Osama bin Laden was under orders to kill the al Qaeda mastermind, not capture him, a U.S. national security official told Reuters.

"This was a kill operation," the official said, making clear there was no desire to try to capture bin Laden alive in Pakistan.

[justiceischeap]

22. Again, see my post #16

[girl gone mad]

27. Again, read the link you posted.

It doesn't say what you seem to think it says.

[connecticut yankee]

12. They had to kill him

If they had captured him, terrorists all over the world would have kidnapped Americans and threatened to kill them if bin Laden wasn't released.

[MacNfries]

13. OBL is enjoying his 72 virgins right now ...

Look, OBL is probably in heaven right this minute, smiling, and enjoying his 72 virgins. I just wonder if they're pretty, 'cause I've seen a couple fairly ugly virgins in my time.

[david_vincent]

19. You do know that it's really 72 raisins, right?

The translation was botched, either by mistake or deliberately, you can argue til the cows come home. But the actual passage promises 72 raisins -- it's supposed to conjure up an image of the martyr's heaven as a land of milk and honey, basically. Lots of food, good times, nothing to worry about. But as for virgins, nary a one.

[demosincebirth]

24. At his age? I doubt it. More like getting introduced to Hitler,Stalin and friends.

[nichomachus]

28. Much to his dismay

The virgins awaiting him were not what he expected

[Bragi]

14. I agree with the caller

But I've always had a soft spot for the whole, old-fashioned "rule of law" thing.

I'm trying to get over it. Maybe I'll smear my face with blood and chant U.S.A! U.S.A! and see if that helps me feel better about this assassination.

[Doctor_J]

15. Wingers are floating some trial balloons

to see what will fly. Here's another: Why was Obama laughing and joking Saturday night while our soldiers were about to risk their lives taking UBL?

[freshwest]

18. It's always something, isn't it? Remember Cheney's outrage about Obama's haircut?

And their over-paid drones spewing Obama was un-American for not putting ketchup on his hamburger? More conservative BS!

[Warpy]

25. He'd have sung like a wee birdie about the Bush family

so right wingers are really not thinking clearly.

[southernyankeebelle]

26. Funny. If they had brought him back alive they would have said Obama is a muslim lover. He

can't win ever.

[Gregorian]

30. That's interesting.

I also wanted him alive. But you make an interesting point. Although I have a logical reasons, the right wingers are just spewing hatred against a Democratic president.

[nichomachus]

29. If anyone says this

We should offer to hold all terrorism trials in their community.

[bullwinkle428]

31. That Stephen Colbert sure gets around these days!

[Rocknrule]

32. They want the world's #1 terrorist to get a luxury they didn't want

any Arab-Americans to have?

[randr]

33. If they brought him back alive it would be worse

[TheKentuckian]

34. Solid evidence that partisans are amoral and will abandon whatever they espouse

in order to be contrary to the opposition.

It is all about "winning" and keeping out the "greater evil", what the "lesser evil" does or doesn't do is only important as a means to attack the other party.

The parties are a distortion and a pox upon our people.

[nichomachus]

35. The last thing the right-wing leaders wanted was Bin Laden alive

He would have had a lot to tell about Reagan, Bush I, Cheney, Musharraf and the connections between him and all of them. It's only the knuckle draggers who are making this noise. The real right-wingers all breathed a sigh of relief.
