36. It is clear that demwing meant to poster you to which you were referring
not the thread starter.

Not even remotely what the post you were referring to meant, and you know it.

8. Why not capture him?
Why did they have to kill him? were they afraid of what he knew.

10. Why capture him? Why not kill him?
It's less messy this way. It's better psychologically for the United States.

24. I'm sure he was waving the white flag of surrender
Or you know, probably fighting back. I doubt he was willing to go easily.

25. His last words were not "Don't shoot, I want to negotiate."
It's hard to capture someone who would rather die than be captured.

9. Yes, he ordered Panetta to make it priority one..
they did and were victorious. So, what the fuck was BushCo doing for seven fucking years?? I would guess to say that Bush did not make it a priority because of his familes ties with the Bin Laden family.

23. That's great. But then he's solely to blame for all the dead troops in the past 2 years, too

I'm grimly satisfied that Osama is dead, but I care more about ending the ongoing stupidity of the wars than with any politician's political bragging rights.
