1. I think it would be a strategic move to begin withdrawing our men. |
|
It would show that we are not warmongers, but went in there with a purpose to find justice for 9/11.
It might help appease those who will use this as a rally to strike back at America.

To hear many here tell it it's insufficiently patriotic to do anything but cheer Osama's death and pretend absolutely nothing else does, has, or will ever matter.

5. I would like to see a link to "many here" who say that. They, we, are happy Osama is dead AND |
|
know that it is not the end of much except symbolically. WHO here thinks "absolutely nothing else does, has, or will ever matter"? Which "many" do you refer to?
If you don't want to say you are happy, that is your right. But why do you smear those of us who are happy by falsely accusing us of such bullshit?

6. Linking to posts is calling out posters. |
|
However just click on one of the many threads berating liberals for being insufficiently patriotic and accusing us of hating 'murika. It isn't hard to find them.
I'm not accusing EVERYONE that's happy. Shit I'm glad he's dead. I just think "Maybe killing him isn't worth what it cost us in the end." is a conversation worth having.
