May 3, 201115 yr The compound wasn't set on fire. A firefight is just a bunch of bullets being fired by both sides. Not actual fire. I heard it was actually set on fire as well, last night. I guess that report was wrong.
May 3, 201115 yr Great photo, and makes it even more obvious that our Presidebt was very much involved in this. Some refuse to believe it though. A Freudian slip, no doubt.
May 3, 201115 yr I know what a fire fight is . I saw video showing that the compound was set ablaze.One of the two choppers crash landed within the compound. They set it ablaze to keep it from getting into enemy hands. That's probably the fire you saw.
May 3, 201115 yr A Freudian slip, no doubt. :lol: silly iPhone will auto correct every word that I dont want it to...
May 3, 201115 yr Knowing that the initial information used to get the lead for this mission was received using water-boarding, does that change anyone's mind on this issue? Just shows that water boarding works, which I've awlways supported.
May 3, 201115 yr Nine years, seven months and three weeks ... about 75 percent of which was on someone else's watch. Hat's off to President Obama for ending the search for OSB! Why is it that when ever I am looking for something, I always find in the last place I looked? Can we stop for a moment and thank all our military troops who who helped narrow the search for OSB (so many who did not come home) ---regardless of "WHOSE WATCH"?
May 3, 201115 yr I heard it was actually set on fire as well, last night. I guess that report was wrong. I know what a fire fight is . I saw video showing that the compound was set ablaze. Media outlets were reporting that all night last night but I didn't think it was on fire. The video they were using to justify the claims was of a fire OUTSIDE of the compound. You can tell because the mansion had 7 foot walls all around it but the fire was seen well below the walls in some spots. The fire may have been the helicopter that our guys destroyed or something else all together.
May 3, 201115 yr Does anyone believe that we didn't dump his body in the sea/Ocean? I have a feeling that his body is on it's way to the US if not already hear... I can see our current and last two presidents viewing his body first hand, before it is disposed... Bury him under the new WTC in a concrete slab that nobody ever knows about, call that poetic justice.
May 3, 201115 yr I read something that said the guy was water-boarded but he gave up the intel at a later date using regular interrogation techniques. According to congressman Peter King-who is on the intelligence committee-Water-boarding helped bring this intel out in the open. I'm sure more will surface on how much this is true. Either way, it will reopen the debate and how effective it actually is.
May 3, 201115 yr Nine years, seven months and three weeks ... about 75 percent of which was on someone else's watch.Well, that didn't take long, but totally expected from you.... So much for what TB&G had hoped for.
May 3, 201115 yr I can't stand all the hate for Obama right now. Bush's speeches after 9/11 brought all Americans together, and Obama's speech tonight should do the same. Instead many are taking it as another opportunity to bash the President. Doesn't matter what you think of him, tonight is a great night. I'm no fan of Obama, but he has my support when he makes good decisions with the military as he did in this case. You are right, it was a great night. Sadly, the hate for Bush already came out early too to try to overshadow a historical event. I would have poster earlier but I was out of town.

Sadly, the hate for Bush already came out early too to try to overshadow a historical event. I would have poster earlier but I was out of town. I have seen way more hate for Obama than I have for Bush. I have seen an article that I haven't read yet that seemed to take a dig at Bush but from the people the anti-Obama rhetoric has baffled and saddened me.
May 3, 201115 yr As one of the Republican Congressmen (maybe the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee?) said yesterday, and I'm paraphrasing, "There are plenty of things we can disagree with the President about, but this isn't one of them."
