How Bin Laden was found.....

[Teatownclown]

Well, the commandos were wearing helmet cams, so I assume there is video footage of the raid.  I guess we will know the whole story sooner or later.

They do and they could end up sharing a cell with our Oklahoma favorite son Manning.....

What is your damned problem?

I sure would like to see what this came from. 


The photos released today of the tail section of the blackhawk chopper that went down does not resemble any blackhawk I've ever seen.  It does not have the raised tail fin or tail rotor configuration of a blackhawk.  This seems to be something new. 

Stealth chopper perhaps?

ABC just got done doing a piece that addressed this specifically.  And yes, stealth was the word.  This is a little concerning now that the Paks have the remnants.  They were saying it's covered in a special 'skin' that helps reduce radar signature.

And the Paks are pretty good buddies with the Chinese....

The CIA (or was that CYA) is never happy when they see parts of the U.S. fleet being taken away in ox carts or the scene of the crash being covered up in primitive mid-east/western Asia tapestries.

We may have been setting up for Pakistan all this time.

Now I do not know whose idea this is, but it is freakin ridiculous.

As a native American (I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and have a long-term birth certificate to prove it) I suppose I should be outraged. Other self-described native Americans (aka American Indians) are positively seeing red (whoops, make that "angry") today. Their pique is over the code name the U.S. military used for the operation to bag arch-terrorist Osama bin Laden, which was "Geronimo."

Me, I would have been perfectly fine with the code name "Chaim," which happens to be my Hebrew name, as long as the result of the mission was the same. If you agree that this is much ado about nothing, then you'll be delighted to learn that the Senate Indian Affairs Committee will be taking this grievous matter up in a hearing on racist Native American stereotypes. Your tax dollars at work!

Probably because you never hear a code name "Custer" or "Lincoln" or "King" or "Jackson".  Always a Native American name for the derogatory bad guy.  Or yeah, maybe Chaim.  But you notice how 'gracious' he is volunteering his name since he knows it will never be used, because of the uproar it would cause - as in being anti-Semitic.

Oh, you are one of those hating on Native American tribes adopted by some schools as its mascot. Sheesh. Well, when I think of this issue, I think of Utah and Omaha beaches at Normandy where our WWII soldiers bravely charged on under massive NAZI gun and artillery fire which ultimately changed the face of the world.

[heironymouspasparagus]

Like that has anything to do with anything.  Misdirection and irrelevance all the way.  (No, don't care about mascots.  More significant stuff...yeah.)

You then must remember all the Code Talkers - native Americans who fought for this country, even though their children had just been taken from them to be placed in "special schools" on the concentration camps, er, uh, reservations.  An abominable policy continuing well after WWII.  After the war, it was no longer a policy of "forced" enrollment (see Indian Reorganization Act of 1934), like it was before, but it continued unofficially until the 70s.  (Canada continued the forced enrollment until the 70s.)  Maybe that's why a group of Sioux filed a class action lawsuit in about 2003 to address these wrongs.  I would have thought a philanthropic lawyer would have known this rather than, "Sheesh"!

The goal of these schools was to "beat the Indian out of them".  Eliminate all remnants of their culture.  Destroy the languages.  At the same time their warriors were fighting with honor and bravery FOR the US!  Eight Medal of Honor awards - see link below.  But that would not impinge onto the KoolAid gang consciousness now, would it?  You think they are making an anthill out of a mountain...and even that anthill is too much!

Sheesh is right.  But absolutely not for the reason you misuse the term.

So, it is perfectly correct to insult a great warrior by equating him to a mass murderer.  In your world.  Sad.  Very, very sad that you, or anyone else buys into that.
