Jonathan Ford Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Regardless of what's gone before, I'd argue that he was a bad man, and though I'd have preferred for him to be arrested and put on trial rather than murdered in cold blood, he made his own bed. He made his own bed? That kind of logic would suggest that the US got what was coming to them on 9/11 for fucking with the middle-east then? Â If any other nation, especially one not on the good side of us or the USA decided to send their special forces into a foreign country and take some fucker out without clearance there would be all hell to pay. Â For what it's worth, I agree with you, particularly with the operation to murder Osama bin Laden. Â The world is full of bad men, doing shitty things. I'd be more than happy if all the bad men, of whatever allegiance got what was coming to them too. Â Added a blog post, that mirrors my own opinions.

big mickey Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Killing Bin Laden instead of taking him alive when they had the opportunity to do so was a huge mistake. He was dar more valuable alive than dead. Â Ah, I see. So, you buy into the whole scenario of us being the good guys, fighting for the freedom of our people, whilst the nasty foreigners are the bad guys?

Â That people like Bin Laden, the Taliban & others who would love to see westerners wiped off the face of the earth are the bad guys? Â I guess so, yes.

What about us though? Aren't we at fault for invading countries like Afghanistan and Iraq?  Not really, as it wasn't a war with the Afghan Iraqi people, it was more an attempted liberation for them (which was a bit of an oversight on our part) it was mainly to drive the terroristic & actually quite evil regimes out of power.

David Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 Not really, as it wasn't a war with the Afghan Iraqi people, it was more an attempted liberation for them (which was a bit of an oversight on our part) How many Afghan and Iraqi civilians have been killed since we decided to "liberate" them? Â Another question I'd have to ask is, what right do we have to decide who needs liberating and who doesn't? Â I think it's plain from your posts Mickey that it's you who doesn't have a clue. You keep buying into that bullshit that you're being fed, lad. Cringeworthy stuff indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst that may be the case, it can't be denied that this great nation of ours has got the blood of many different peoples on its hands.

big mickey Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 When you see a man whos been wanted for 10 years in your sights you shoot to kill  No. If there is a chance to take the target alive with little resistance you take them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 No. If there is a chance to take the target alive with little resistance you take them. Even if it involves completely disregarding international law and mounting a military operation in Pakistan without their authority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
