> [@pikey\_pete](#): > > I just wish Obama would authorize the SEALs to take Palin out. How can we get some terrorism pinned on her? She’s already a terrorist. Osama bin Laden says to kill the American infidels. The result - Americans die, and we live in fear.

As the saying goes, if it quacks… In this case, I conclude that Sarah Palin is a quack. I don’t suppose there’s any citations to Ms Palin giving the slightest thanks or credit to the SEALs? ---

The result - a congresswoman is nearly assassinated. Government officials resign out of fear for their lives. In fairness, the plain fact is that Sarah Palin said nothing of the kind. You are thinking of Sharon Angle, erstwhile Republican nominee for the Senate. ---

> [@pravnik](#): > > No doubt the Man in the Arena deserves the lion’s share of the credit, but Obama had some tough choices to make above and beyond the operational concerns. If bin Laden had been found in the UK the decisions over how to proceed would have been no brainers, but bin Laden was smack in the middle of a sometimes trustworthy, sometimes less-than-trustworthy ostensible ally, in a heavily populated area, with military installations close by. He could have made the decison to alert Pakisani officials to the raid and risked someone in the command structure leaking the info, or trusted Pakistan to conduct the raid themselves and risked someone in the command structure leaking the info, or order the raid without alerting anyone and risk civilian casualites/getting shot down by the Pakistani military/getting captured or shot by the Pakistani military, etc. There were dozens of ways this could have gone wrong and only a few that it could go right, and had it gone wrong it would have been Obama’s Iran rescue fiasco and bay of Pigs all wrapped in one. That’s an excellent point. Though I think the basic machinery was already in place before he took office, Obama did have to make the tough decisions when we located Bin Laden in Pakistan. Also, the fact that his administration was able to plan this for six months or so without a single leak coming out also does him a great deal of credit. We all know what Sarah Palin would have done if it had been she faced with those hard choices - resigned and gone on a book tour. **Snoboarder Bo** , if you are so troubled about being called a name in the pit, then perhaps this isn’t the forum for you. ---

Not so concerned with the name, just with the assholish reasoning you used to try and justify it. Which, if _you_ had any reading comprehension at all, you would have known from what I posted in post 64, or post 66 or post 84. You’re just a pissant angry fucktard (with a shitty sense of humor), aren’t you?
