2. Its not about invading countries - its about a surgical strike team
Find out where he is, verify, and then kill

That way a lot of innocent people don't end up dead

3. All of them. Even if we get him after invading four nations, we should keep invading in the name of
getting Bin Laden.

8. Newsflash: Bin Laden is DEAD. Most thinking people agree.

:shrug:

Haven't we KILLED enough innocents in our quest for retribution?

It's time to withdraw from these sovereign ME nations.

Occupying Muslim countries is NOT making America safer.

29. Yes, it was sarcasm. However, let's not even play the Bin Laden game?
I for one don't want the CIA to insult my intelligence with another Osama-tron video like they rolled out right before the 2004 Presidential election.

Nope, if by some far out stretch of the imagination, Bin Laden is alive, he's residing in Pakistan. :shrug:

5. Well
Edited on Wed Oct-07-09 06:12 PM by Andy823
Since there is no proof at all that he is even still alive, I would say we should NOT invade any country trying to find him. I think he died a long time ago, but Bush and Cheney needed him to be alive so they faked those tapes, and they are still being faked by those who want to keep this war going till the U.S. has invaded every oil producing country in the middle east! The neocons want to control the entire middle east and they will do anything to achieve that goal!

18. Yes, he's probably dead; but we won't know that until we invade ALL the places he could be.
Edited on Wed Oct-07-09 07:09 PM by kenny blankenship
Same deal with the Iranians. We now hear they have data to make an atomic bomb. We can't know which Iranian has that information until we scoop out their brains with a melon baller from one end of the country to the other. As long as ONE COPY of that information resides with one living Iranian we can never have a moment's safety!

17. Every country there is.

And then Bin Laden should be released back into the wild with £100,000 so he can be hunted down and captured again.

Time should be allowed for him to escape each country as it's invaded just to make sure no countries are left out.

Once he actually dies, in the fullness of time, clones of him can be made in secret labs and then you could have as many as 4 Bin Ladens running around evading capture.

16. we should send John McCain to the gates of Hell to get Bin Laden
He said he'd go there to get OBL, and he apparently knows all about how to get Bin Laden or so he claims, so I say let's give him his shot.

23. That's right! During the election he claimed that he was the one who knew how to get OBL
Well, I wonder if McCain would like to tell us where he is? Or was McCain talking out of his ass as usual?

24. But, please, could we start invading countries with something besides oil?
Belgium for chocolate
France for wine, cheese and champagne
Switzerland for all that Nazi gold and art
Hawaii for revenge over Obama. The ferin bastids.

I thought they were all just future US States, since everyone wants to be an American.

31. As usual, only the countries that don't have an actual military that can contend w/the U.S.'
Bullies rely on easy pickings
