do you think, for example, it is significant when your phone number has two consecutive digits that are the same number? do you understand why that is not significant or noteworthy? even though i was drunk, i wasnt an idiot for announcing it. everyone there wanted to know and it was important to them.
yeah seriously. by what standard is it gutsy to call in a raid for the man who may be the most wanted person in history. to not do it would be the most cowardly move ever made by a human adult.
Rangers are not all that impressive. Everyone and their brother has a ranger tab. It means they took a couple months out of their lives to stomp around a Georgia forest eating tree bark, they learned how to use a compass and they can recite this really cool three page creed when prompted. Everyone from desk jockeys to potato peelers have ranger tabs these days. ***Disclaimer*** Rangers that are in an actual ranger bat or a little special (expect when they forget their NVG's when attempting to execute a high profile mission in Somalia)
Think about it though. The truthers are getting too close to home, so they kill OBL to continue the charade that al qaeda did it. Cue Twilight Zone theme...
The missile strikes were massive and flattened the bases, but the bases were empty of people. Why? Because we notified our "allies" in Pakistan that 30 cruise missiles were going to overfly them and they tipped off bin Laden. We won't make that mistake again.
one was all that was necessary, given that only one assertion was made that something was interesting.
