Its just something that get brought up a lot in any debate involving Obama sorry if I offended you.
Still always nice to have your input but if you got a personal beef with some posters you should use pm's to work it out instead of a thread. Sorry it just takes away from the debate.

She is smart, but she is obtuse on purpose.
Good luck.

I was thinking the same thing.
I'm pretty damn sure everyone knows what I meant..
I thought you were smart....
I knew what you meant but apparently you did not know what I meant. I specifically said "get him off on a technicality" I did not say "get him off by adhering to the constitution." Maybe you are not familiar with the American use of the term "on a technicality" but the moment you can prove a constitutional violation, that is outright law not a technicality. A technicality is that an officer forgot to mirandize you before questioning or someone forgot to submit paperwork in time. I thought you knew what I meant.edit on 5/4/11 by Sinnthia because: (no reason given)

My thought on this....
If you had a chance to go back in time and kill Hitler before he was able to kill Millions of innocent Jews, would you?
Think about it.

Mate, you were the one comparing the Assassination of OBL to the killing of Hitler...
So obviously now you are saying there's "no" comparison..
I wonder why you brought it up then..
ormer West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt told German TV the operation could have incalculable consequences in the Arab world at a time of unrest there.
"It was quite clearly a violation of international law," .
It was a view echoed by high-profile Australian human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson.
"It's not justice. It's a perversion of the term. Justice means taking someone to court, finding them guilty upon evidence and sentencing them," Robertson told Australian Broadcasting Corp television from London.

So anyone who is labeled an enemy of the US is allowed to be shot on the spot, without a trial.
Watch it. It can come back to bite you in the ass.
Weren't conspiracy theorists, veterans, Constitutionalists, Ron Paul supporters, etc. labeled as terrorists in a memo.
This opens a huge can of worms.

And in OBL's case they apparently trained for months on a mock up of the compound.. Why did they waste the time and money when a drone would have gotten the same result ??

Because I forgot how Hitler confuses people so then I compared it to flying like superman and raising the dead. Same comparison, NO HITLER. Mayber you missed that.

Because I thought you would understand the analogy without getting caught on a name. Silly me.
Look. I know you all think I am just in a hurry to defend Obama but that is not the case here at all. It is just something I saw in the last couple of days that really kind of made me wonder what reality I live in. So I put this out for all of you to decide if I am crazy or if this is really happening.
Since 9/11 there has been a certain segment of the population, members of ATS, and FOX news correspondents that have all said many of the following things.
-Invading Iraq, a sovereign nation, was a good idea.
-Everyone in Gitmo deserves to be there
-Torturing suspects is ok
-dead civillians are something that happens in war, get over it.
-they gave up their human rights when they became terrorists
OK now I see the EXACT SAME PEOPLE from all 3 groups suddenly going
-Whoa whoa whoa, Obama cannot just go killing Osama in a sovereign nation like that. The guy deserves a trial and we had no right to be there.
Am I really imagining this?

The only thing that comes to my mind is they wanted it to be personal. As in face to face.
