Sorry, I don't buy into this "the United States is above killing our enemies in an inhumane way" crap. The information from Osama's computers and papers that were recovered by our awesome Navy SEALS have revealed that Osama was still very actively involved in terrorist training, terrorist plots, and other terrorist operations. I guess Osama didn't get the memo that he was retired or not a viable threat anymore?
I don't like Barack Obama, either. I believe he is leading this country down an economic path that will lead to catastrophic hardship for tens of millions of people, and his complete disregard for the sovereignty of our borders is seditious at best, and treasonous at worst.
But, like it or not, Obama did the right thing, no matter what his personal reasons were, by sending in our finest military personnel and letting them kill the most dangerous terrorist in our lifetime.
When our country fights fire with fire, the end result is always victory. ANY military mission this country undertakes should have VICTORY as the only acceptable outcome. No compromise. No cease fire. And most of all, no "moral" victory. This country certainly has no claim to "morality", not when we have killed over 50 million unborn babies since 1973, and not when we elect politicians who are thieves, carpetbaggers, adulterers, and even murderers.
As I stated in an earlier post, this country has a long history of not "playing fair". People who play fair during times of war usually LOSE, or at best, break even (remember the Korean War?). During the times that this country did not enter a military conflict with the goal of victory, we LOST (remember Vietnam and the first Iraq War-"Desert Storm"?).
During World War 2, our military, and our government, was involved in many "unconstitutional" actions and was involved in many military actions that ran counter to the Geneva Convention. When SURVIVAL is at stake, rules of "morality" and "fair play" and "law" are broken, out of necessity, and because of our desire to SURVIVE.
A little history lesson that resulted in complete disaster.........When the armistice was signed to end World War 1, Germany's entire army was allowed to return to Germany, intact, and the "allies" (particularly France) put the screws to Germany by crippling their economy and destroying their infrastructure, which led to the rise of an opportunistic lunatic named Adolph Hitler. At the time of the armistice, General John Pershing stated that it was a catastrophic mistake to allow the German army to return intact to Germany, and it was a big mistake to not make it very clear to the German people that they had LOST the war, and they were a conquered nation.
President Obama has earned my respect for ALLOWING our military to do their job, regardless of the fallout afterwards. Yes, we entered a sovereign country without their knowledge, to "take care of business". So what. No Pakistanis were killed, and we learned a lot about what kind of "allies" our Pakistani "friends" really are.
Cast aside partisan political second-guessing. Rise above the political games and playground antics that are usually reserved for the leftists, and give Obama credit for a job well done.
Now that Obama FINALLY did something RIGHT, let's get back to more important topics, like the destruction of the U.S. economy, the erasure of our borders, the collapse of free-market health care in the United States, rising inflation, and the collapse of the U.S. dollar.
