Re: OBL was unarmed when he was shot nossy Send a noteboard - 04/05/2011 07:12:51 PM
there were not even any armed guards on the compound according to what I saw this morning on CNN. In fact I have not seen any reports that the SEALS were ever even fired on. I am glad the man is dead but lets not play politics and make this summary execution a good thing and Bush getting Saddam a bad thing because Bush didn't just have the military kill him on sight.

I did not say this was "marvelous," and I replied that you have a point regarding the trial, so I'm not going to let you pretend that I'm trying to claim OBL's death is a perfect way to deal with these things, sorry.

I have not said that Bush getting Saddam was a bad thing. You're going straight past the point I'm making, and you're making it about the politics. The culmination of the Saddam situation was handled rather barbarically, and it left a bad taste for more than a few people. I'm not trying to make this more or less than it is, but all I can repeat is that it also left me with a bad feeling, though different from what I'm experiencing now.
