Osama Bin Laden is Dead?

[PhilinYuma]

Well thanks for not reaming me out, Ricardo. When you were in combat, did you make it clear to your commanding officer just what you were prepared to do and what was "not justified"? You don't have to justify killing in war, Ricardo, you just have to live with it afterwards. Is that little seven year old boy with the rifle in Sierra Leone a righteous kill? How about that pretty mother in S. Vietnam with the bomb in her baby carriage? Did you know that drivers in US convoys in Baghdad were under orders to run down anyone who ran in front of them rather than stopping and possibly getting ambushed? It's a big bad world out there, mate.

As for the virgins, given the choice, how would you prefer to spend eternity, partying with a "bunch of virgins" with the Muslims or "singing around the throne" with the Christians? I say, "Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim." *

* That's just a bad joke. I don't think that I am eligible.

When I was young, my dad told me that if I didn't want to get into an argument, don't discuss religion or politics. It works like a charm.

So true!

If you didn't start it, I would have...or somebody else...I'm sure.

Latest reports are that Osama may have been watching porn in his compound...

Gotta agree with you there! Did you have anyone specific in mind? :lol:

@ kamakiri: I heard the same thing. Cowardly porn. The worst kind!

 

[patrickfraser]

I could have been referring to anybody, including, maybe, Bin Laden???

But...If the shoe fits, rock it!

I think killing children can never truly be justified. . . . But you've been through a lot. I won't ream you out or anything.

I also don't think Osama is a coward but I wouldn't say he or his men are brave either. They think when they die they get a bunch of virgins and glory in the afterlife.

what they do is merely to benefit THEM . Suicide isn't bravery in some cases.

In some parts of this world a child is just as capable of killing you as an adult is. The same goes for women. I see no difference between a child pointing a weapon at me or an adult male.

I agree they're not brave. They generally won't stand toe to toe and fight. But then again doing so is not a good idea for them.

OMG! Please, please, don't tell me he also enjoyed scrambled eggs too!

 

[PhilinYuma]

Yep. With bacon! Of course, the compound didn't have internet service, so when he watched porn it had to be real porn! But it's nice to know what floats your boat, Amanda Lynn! :lol:

 

[AmandaLynn]

Ugh, bacon? I don't know what to believe these days. I'm so confused :huh: LOL!

i dont get it bin laden is dead but we still cant bring water or aftershave through the security checks in airports :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[patrickfraser]

I can't believe he's dead, yet we can't stop talking about him. Let dead dogs lie.

 

[myles]

:lol: I am sure many people won't be too happy to see him popping up all over the place.

 

[Precarious]

Hooray! They killed a CIA asset used to scare the silly Americans into giving up their freedoms! Yahoo!

Boy, I feel safer already...

some would say you're cold but I'm smart enough to know you're only honest . . . And sadly telling the truth.

In the scheme of things there is little difference between killing a child who posses just as big a threat to you.

However I would think it's much more difficult to muster the will to kill a child ...

Emotionally more challenging I would assume
