Scahill can be so tedious sometimes. The celebrations we saw in the streets may not be particularly dignified, but they are 100% typical of what people all over the world do when their enemy is brought to justice. The message it sends is that Americans are like everyone else: no better, no worse. The notion that people should not be happy, only "sad and reflective" is just a bullsh*t way for him to emphasize what he cares about most: criticizing the Iraq war.
those people cheering over the killing that night made me feel disgusted as an american. it was just so out of line. they should have held a candle light vigil at ground zero to honor the victims of 911. just silence and prayers for the victims would have shown the world how graciously civilized we are. it would have made it harder for terrorist to recruit people who saw how peaceful and somber. it would have truly honored the victims of 911 as a closure type event.
WARS ALWAYS SUCK! WE AMERICANS HAVE PAID THE PRICE FOR ALL THESE WARS THAT BUSH AND OBAMA HAVE GOT US IN,WARS ARE NOT FREE OUR COUNTRY PAYS THE PRICE IN MANY WAYS.
Leaked CIA memo, obtained by Investigators, mention Osama as a CIA Spy, whose codename is "Tim Osman." The document states CIA Agent "Tim Osman = Usama/Osama." Document mentions FBI & Defense Department participation. So basically, US Gov killed (or pretended to kill) its own agent, who was no longer useful
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." --Martin Luther King, Jr.
Go to Saudi Arabia and see how theyre treating women and come back to me and call me a nazi you idiot. There is nothing that can compare you to a nazi if you oppose all of what the niqab or burqa stand for. Quite the contrary actually. You're a fucking idiot who believes in the multiculturalism lie that everyone is just awesome and alright when the fact is that not all cultures are equal. Men are, cultures are not. The french want to protect their culture, dont like it? Dont go there.
Do something useful with your life instead of trolling youtube all day and posting stupid troll comments, everyone here knows you are nothing more than a lowlife troll, I'm starting to feel bad for you at this point, it really must suck being you.
Love how you're trying to get at me personnally. That is whats pretty fucking sad right there. But hey if thats your kick go for it son. I honeslty dont give a shit about what you gotta say. But I know guys like you think that its code for 'OH GOSH HE GOT ME PERFECTLY'.
@Churchx77 <-- That's coming from someone who spends his days trolling youtube. lol
Look around you troll, everyone here knows you are a troll, soon you will become the YouTube troll, just look at your channel comments troll, it speaks for itself. Get a life you sad little man...
I dont care I dont click on links. And yeh the wearing of the niqab and the burqa has been made illegal. Theres nothing wrong with that. As for halal meat, its a muslim ritual which needs the animal to be conscious while its being killed with someone calling to the glory of allah. Thats fucked up and France doesnt want either of those ridiculous and uncivilized practices. Now if the muslims identify with that fuck em, if not and share republican principles of the french theyre more than welcome.
Im not asking you anything, this was clearly rethorical. I know my history. Im just saying not all nazis had a trial because this was a war. The high ups in the German governments had a trial. When the war was over. Osama was not some propaganda minister or defense minister of any country. He was a symbolic figure in a war without a flag. Even if you wanted a trial it would be hard to prosecute. Besides thats how you fight a war against terrorism rather than invading countries. Just so you know.
The nazis had a trial? Tell that to those who were bombed or shot on the battlefield. It is not easy bringing back alive a man who doesnt want to be caught.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Eat a dick, Jeremy Scahill. Of course all the bombings in Afghanistan and Pakistan is complete bullshit, but whatever. The death of Bin Laden should be greeted with excessive and tremendous AMERICAN celebration, gratification, and lulz.
@OpenInsanity hmm no, unless ur a brainwashed clueless sheep that believes in the government and has no REAL sense of spirituality and value for divine life thats all around us. The crowds of people u say chanting USA over the death of a fake terrorist only shows me that the masses here are no different than the masses in the middle east.
@thunderon100 I believe there is a difference. We party much harder over here. Meanwhile in the Middle East, their gatherings are mostly about the butthurt. And there's business of you calling me a sheep because I don't believe your particular tarded theory of Bin Laden being a fake. Either believe everything the Alex Jones tells you, or you're just another one of the sheeple.
@OpenInsanity no difference in my eyes. both groups chant death mindlessly and unaware of why they even do so. i dont believe everything alex jones tells me, and for u to be attacking him just shows you are ignorant because he is the real shit, and if u think that OUR government just KILLED bin laden then provide no evidence of it, at the time they did, when there was PLENTY of proof bin laden was already dead and had been frozen and they were just waiting for a political strategic timing.
@thunderon100 LOL I'd love this "proof" of yours. Conspiracy theorists in general are just a bunch of suckers. Alex Jones is a sucker who makes his living off of other suckers.
One who the "official" story and accepts whatever assbrained concoction as religion, all the while looking down on others while basking in their own leetness: The Conspiracy Theorist (aka. The Sucker)
@OpenInsanity ROFL yea okay conspiracies are all a bunch of suckers stuff. or maybe the other side of the story dumb sheep are scared to look at.
theres plenty of evidence, much more than nessesary to prove this government is evil and has been hyjacked by mad globalists who want to take us to WW3 and come with a 1 world government out of it. ur just too naive to understand any of that and u would never make an effort to see how deep the rabbit hole goes. but in time u will see it.
WAT? NO YOU ARE WRONG. AMERICA SHOULD TRY TO MARRY THE MUSLIM WORLD BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LOT IN COMMON. In the sense that theyre both religious batshit nutcases.
U.S. politics is like a dance where the loutish partner is always leading.
Seeming "progressives" like Scahill always find themselves "just a little left" of today's outrage. This means that the whole "dance" is moving further toward the conservatarded "right."
He's complaining about popular reaction to an extra-judicial execution, rather than the deed itself. Reminds me of Democrat bitching during the Afghan/Iraq invasion - no comment on the basic premise.
I, also, believe this was murder. I don't sympathize with the Jihads and radical Muslims. I believe they are murderers too. But are we gonna lower our standards to 'targeted assassinations"? The same standard the terrorists use!
@topthickproducer be quiet.. you are sympathizing.. they gave him an opportunity to give up. His wife gave up freely, osama did not. They weren't playing around with him, this wasn't his choice . So fuck off with your opinions.
@topthickproducer sorry to inform you but when we dropped thousands of bombs on civilians areas we the USA became terrorists too. an your tax money supports it so you are also a terrorist!
Progress. A more enlightened society. It comes in fits and starts - three steps forward, two steps back.
Of course the latest attempt at the police state must be resisted. But we should not allow the limitations of our perspective (due to the finitude of our lives) cause us to despair.
You need only go through old news reels or read history to know as "dumb sh@t" as people are now, it was worse only a generation ago. There were no "good old days."
"Obama treated this as a law enforcement operation." WTF? Since when has extra judicial murder of a foreign national been a law enforcement operation? He wasn't even formally indicted by the FBI for 9/11, and was killed before he ever got to testify about any of the charges. And this is a source for celebration? Not so long ago there was this thing in American law called Habeas Corpus, otherwise known as due process. They had to give you your day in court before they executed you!
@cobra1518 umm..lots? since when? since the first human or since we declared the "war on terror"? Im not sure but I would wager that the death toll, direct and indirect (starvation, disease, miscarriages etc) to be in the millions.
