No, shooting Bin Laden was a sound move. Easiest way to get rid of him relatively quietly.
Oh yes relatively quietly. Regardless of whether or not the dude is dead there hasnt been a 9/11 since 9/11. Regardless of whether or not they actually found bin laden and killed him or just made it look like they did. Regardless of the fact that it took 10 years to find 1 man. Regardless of the fact that it happened within months of Obama's inauguration.
Regardless of whether or not any or all those points are disputed...
The last thing that happened was: getting rid of him relatively quietly. If they had killed him in 88-89 THAT would have been relatively quietly. No would would have known who he was back then and no one would have cared.
9/11, Invasion of the middle east, Occupation of the middle east, Side mission: Saddam, Unclear intent, 10 year long manhunt, Media exposure up the ass, and finally about 115 documentaries about how they killed Laden, but were unable to show his body, etc etc.
Quietly? Seriousy? Quietly?
I dont care about US politics and maybe Obama is a decent man, I dont know, I dont care, What I can tell you is that to me it seems that when he got into office his first damn sentence was: We gotta get some closure on this Osama business. Real or fake.
Thats what I would have done. Admit it... Its what all of you would have done.
