What makes you think--and I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you actually do think--that showing the picture of a dead bin Laden is gonna makes things better in the world? That it is in any way "part of the mission?
What makes you think that those people that choose to fly planes into our buildings because they hate Americans, are now suddenly gonna bow and scrape and say, "Oops, sorry. Never mind." once we show their leader with a gaping hole in his head?
You self-centered narcissistic unintelligent amoral bitch.
Killing Osama bin Laden was a good thing. Good for American morale that the perpetrator of 9/11 was finally punished for his evil. And good for the rest of the world's morale to see that justice can be served. Justice.
But where is there justice in showing the world this man's body? It will only serve to make his minions more vigilant in punishing this country. It will only serve to make their view of America, and Americans, the popular view. That we killed a man, danced in the streets, and then printed up his picture for millions of people to blog about and Facebook "Like" and Tweet about.
You are a complete moron. Every single day that passes, you get further and further from being a potential candidate for president; and let's face it, you half-term-quitter, you were never really getting close anyway.
The difference between you and Obama, besides about a hundred IQ points, an education, a brain, and a heart, is compassion, and understanding. He understands that showing that picture serves no good. He has compassion for the dead man even though the dead man showed us no compassion. He understands that showing that picture will only feed the anti-American frenzy of the terrorists, not make them turn tail and run.
He thinks. You don't
So, seriously, Mrs. Palin, Shut.The.Fuck.Up.
I am embarrassed that my fellow country folk danced in the streets at this death. At the same time, I agree with Sarah (for the first time, you betcha!) in that without evidence, there will always be deniers. We've had enough with the Birthers. We don't need Deathers, too.
ReplyDeleteAt some point an American Senator could be murdered in a foreign country and that country's media could take photos of the corpse and publish them in the newspaper or put them on TV. I have no doubt whatsoever that Sarah Palin and her ilk will be the first ones to refer to the people of that country as uncivilized animals and monsters for doing it. Are we no different?
ReplyDeleteHow can we expect to get respect if we do not give any?
I agree with everything you said, and although there wasn't anyone dancing in the streets in my little town in Illinois, if I lived in New York City and had lost family and friends, I think I might have been dancing, also!
ReplyDeleteI'm STILL dumbfounded as to how and why she still has a platform (or so-called platform).
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely. Showing the photos would serve no purpose.
ReplyDeleteWhat really decided me on the issue was the question "WHO wants to see these photos, and WHY?" If it's merely to appease the deathers, and that seems to be the primary reason, there comes a time when you have to stop feeding the trolls. The majority of the Arab world knows that he is dead. That's all that is needed.
"You self-centered narcissistic unintelligent amoral bitch."
ReplyDeleteGee, Bob. Get off the fence. Tell us how you REALLY feel.
LOL! The Best. I suspect I will quote you on that one.
Keep up the great work.
There are many moderate and liberal folks who may agree to some extent with Sarah. Thanks for giving the other side of the "give us proof" sentiment.
ReplyDeleteAs I said in a comment on another blog yesterday even if the photo was published I bet that most of those refusing to believe he's dead will STILL maintain that it shows someone else's body. Does anyone seriously think that it would silence them? If Bin Laden really was still alive his obvious recourse would have been to have rush-released a video showing him as such and demonstrating the date it was taken. It would have been a propaganda coup for his side - but there's only silence. Enough said!
