I feel the same as MadMax. If there was nobody else, and he was going to get away if I didn't, then yeah, I could. Otherwise... I just don't think I could manage it. But if there *were* anybody whom I could kill without feeling remorse... he would probably be the one.
Wow, I'm surprised this thread wasn't locked. So, what other dispicable (sp?) people can we describe the method with which we want to kill around here?
First I would get the 25 million for his sorry ass - then I would put him on a plane and fly it into some military base in Iraq - see if enjoy's being a weapon of mass destruction. I would have no problem killing this mother****er. He threatened my country and my family, I would kill him just like anyone else that did this. I would prefer doing it with my own two fist. Blind rage - ain't it great.
no, i couldn't kill him. i would definately not let him get away, but i'd let the authorities kill him. ANOTHER QUESTION: what do you think the USA would do to you if you killed Osama Bin Laden? would you be sentenced for life for murder???
First of all, I'm not saying that you guys aren't capable of doing what you say you would do to bin Stupid, but this thread reminds me of something a former SEAL team member and co-worker told me after the 9/11 attacks. He said he sees everybody running around saying how they would do this and would do that, and he even saw it in the Navy as a SEAL. He then laughed and said 99% of these people that say they would do this and do that would **** bricks and run screaming if they were placed in a real war zone. Guys are gung ho when they go, but a lot of them are scared to death once they get involved in the conflict. Now if I had the choice, would I kill him? Probably not... I'd just hand him over to the military and say "have fun". If he were in a position to get away and I had one shot at him, then, yeah, I'd do my best to take him out. Some of the reactions in this thread are interesting, however. I wonder if there's a ClutchMiddleEastCity.Net somewhere where some poster is asking the question to his cohorts in regards to a "higher up" in the US? If their responses were the same as the ones in this thread, would you feel disgusted or feel empathy? I'm not saying they or you have to justify the statements - just take the statements for face value. I'd be pretty horrified at some of the stuff being said. This is the cycle that never ends. One of us could go blow up 4000 people in Iraq or wherever and we would think it was justified because it was Saddam's fault for not giving in. Yet, they think we need to be taught a lesson and kill thousands of our people in an admittedly disgusting and vile act and we're outraged. Violence is blind and yet has perfect vision. Weird. Anyway, for the record, before someone starts jumping all over me : I want Saddam ousted, I want bin Laden captured, and I want peace in the Middle East. Period. I'll let the liberals, conservatives, democrats, republicans, and whatever else labels you apply to yourselves decide how that is to be done. All I'm saying is that displaying violence rarely wins friends; it only instills fear which in turn (d)evolves into hate; which turns into more violence. The cycle that never ends - just ask the Palestinians and Israelis... blah.
Wow, who knew that Doctor of Dunk and Phillip Drummond from "Diff'rent Strokes" would have the same viewpoint on this issue?? (Talking to Arnold and Willis) "How many times do I have to tell you boys that fighting NEVER solves anything!"
Seems that he's much more valuable alive and in custody than dead. If he's within our grasp to be killed we should just stage his death and scurry him away to some black hole of a prison somewhere so he could be properly interrogated and tortured if necessary. Killing Osama probably doesn't stop those sleeper cells already in this country.
To quote "Lost in Space", "When you boys are done hosing down the deck with testosterone..." I can see it now... Computer Nerds Thwarted in Attempt to Kill Bin Laden Associated Press (Afghanistan) - In a startlingly bold move from a group known more for premature balding and bloodshot eyes than army fatigues and AK47's, a group of American computer users were found hiding in a cave in Afghanistan Thursday. The group claimed they had come to Afrghanistan to hunt down and kill Osama Bin Laden after getting fired up to do so on an internet bulletin board. But, upon arriving in Afghanistan and Star Trekking out into the mountains, they realized they were in over their heads. "I never expected it to be so barbaric here," said a member of the group who wished to remain anonomys. "I mean, they don't even have DSL or anything!" Marines found the group after investigating "sobbing and moaning" sounds and the intense smell of urine coming from one of the caves on their patrol. "I don't know who had the bright idea to come out here," said Marine spokesman Captain I.M. Tough, "But, we're sending them home and back to the saftey of their server facilities." Army medics treated the men for exposure to the elements, dehydration and dimentia. "These guys look like they haven't been outside in years," said Dr. Julius Hibbert of the Red Cross, "God only knows what they thought they were doing out here." As of yet, no statement has been issued by the US Department of Defense. Senior advisors were said to be "too overcome by hysterical laughter" to prepare a statement.
Good. Given the proper motivation (which OBL has provided) I am capable of some ghastly things. Anybody who thinks that I (or many others here) would have a scintilla of remorse for killing OBL...think again. My only regret would be that I hadn't burned "USA Rules" into his chest with a lit cigarette. I'm usually not a violent guy...but once somebody goes to the extremes it takes to get me there...I lose control. I'm sure I'm not alone here. Get me on a Wheaties box and it's a deal. Jeff-- Your post was hilarious BTW. Maybe we could outfit ourselves with pocket protectors and Honda Scooters for transport.
Jeff, That was a great post although I'm disappointed that Dr. Nick Riviera (Hi Everybody!) didn't have anything to say. I can just picture hearing that laugh of Hibbert's, the "eeeheee" laugh which he always does at inappropriate times.
