Obama to address nation at 10:30 EST

[SovereignMN]

I posted "I'm glad that Bin Laden is dead. Now let's bring our brave men and women home out of harms way." on facebook and actually had someone criticize me for making a "political statement" on a night like this. Some people.

The general population eating all this up and reinvigorating with war on terror and hurah go American. Distracting from the real issues.

It would be distracting from the issue if this occurred during the campaign. We're over a year and a half out. The debate will still be over the debt

I'm glad we got Osama bin Laden.

Do I agree with the wars? Hell no, but I can appreciate when something does go right for once

I can't imagine why anyone would be upset unless they were a truther

 

[Mini-Me]

All I can say is this makes me extremely nervous for the coming days, weeks, and months. If any terrorist attack occurs - whether Islamic or false flag - we could end up seeing another huge expansion of the "war on terror." I just hope it nothing happens...and if it does, I hope the people in front of the White House are totally unrepresentative of the general public reaction tonight, or we'll see a sickening resurgence of "YOO ESS AY! YOO ESS AY!" no matter what the government does.

On the upside, at least OBL is dead for sure now. I don't know when he really died (Today? Last week? Years ago?), but either way it's about damn time we're all in agreement over his status.

I'm not upset about him dying at all. I'm just upset at the situation and how some people are acting.

And now you know the feeling of smoke being blown up your ass.

Sounds like you are buying this shit.

And eatin' it up with a spoon.

I witnessed the plume of smoke coming from the Pentagon during the 9/11 attacks while I was at Gallaudet in DC.

My ass was glued to FoxNews with their American flags for probably 1.5 years.

I would have never believed that 8 years later, I would have such mixed feelings.

I'm happy Bin Laden is dead, but it seems so inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. And seeing the propoganda machine at full blast, I see it now unlike 2002-2003 when I was completely neo-conned.

You know how I feel? I'm a huge Phillies fan. They hadn't won a World Series since I was 3 years old. They're two outs from winning the WS in 2008 when my brother calls to tell me my grandmother died. I'm loaded up. As I look at the screen, Lidge strikes out Hinske and the Phillies win the WS. My grandmother is dead. Mixed feelings to the extreme.

That's how I feel right now.

What will RP say tomorrow?

Wasn't Bernanke complaining about military GDP being down? Not good.

Telling you, shouldn't downplay this. We have the best angle because they just lost their best reason for the wars...JUST COME HOME! We should cheer the loudest while attaching our political goals to it. Acting "grumpy" that bin laden is dead is simply stupid and is a bad move for the movement.

 

[KramerDSP]

Just got texts of a photo of the Statue of Liberty holding Bin Laden's severed head. Expect to see it go viral ASAP.

But that argument does suggest that when you kill the Queen Bee, all the other terrorists just drop dead because they cannot survive without the Queen Bee.

 

[easycougar]

What's up with the random crowd in front of the White House at midnight on a Sunday night. Who are these douchebags?

 

[ApathyCuredRP]

The bottom line is, we will need to be able to deflect all the patriotic upswing and the demogogary (sp?) that people will spew out. You are not excited and patriotic about Osama being killed and wont support our invigorated efforts on the war on terror? Are you anti-american? Yada Yada yada... you know the drill.

That's our future.

What shit am I buying exactly?

Was Osama an enemy of ours or not?

didn't Ron Paul support going after him?

It needs debunking

It is announced out of Washington DC and the MSM.
it is assuredly BUNK

A bunch of mindless state worshipers.

I agree... but you know that they will just look for other crisis to keep the war on terror strong. They arn't going to just bring them home on their own until there is RLOVELUTION

 

[mport1]

The entire political spectrum just shifted again. Imagine all the talking points in the debates saying how it was all worth it blah blah blah. Americans are too idiotic to think for themselves. Osama dead! That is good dur dur dur.

I suspect you may be right unfortunately.
