What Victory?!

I want to know what half-witted moron came up with this STUPID Facebook post that seems to be appearing everywhere the last day or two. It reads as follows:

"Let's be clear on this: OBAMA did NOT kill Bin Laden. An American Military Service Member, who Obama just a few weeks ago was debating on whether or not to PAY, did. Obama just happened to be the one in office when our soldiers finally found OBL and took him out. This is NOT an Obama victory, but an AMERICAN victory!! REPOST IF YOU AGREE!!!"

Now before I tear this utterly ridiculous piece-of-crap statement apart using nothing more than logic, let me go on record as saying I'm a proud supporter of our military and a veteran myself.

Now, let's get started, shall we?

First off, who in their right mind would ever come to the conclusion that President Obama can or would claim sole credit for the killing of Osama Bin Laden? He never made that claim. How could he? Anyone with even a half ounce of gray matter in their head has to come to the conclusion that this operation was a team effort and this team was HUGE... players we don't even know about and never will.

Next, identifying President Obama as the one person who was debating whether or not to pay our service men and women during the budget dilemma is just senseless on so many levels. The blame for budget problems and the resulting threat of a Government shutdown can be placed equally among all members of Congress -both Republicans and Democrats- as well as the president and his administration. I guess I'm the only one who can clearly see we're being governed by a bunch of incompetent,childish, greedy bureaucrats. The only way to fix that is to clear them all out, revise the constitution and update the way our Government is run. Nobody gets that and I don't understand why.

The other thing I don't understand is how folks immediately started arguing over who should get the credit for killing Osama Bin Laden. Sorry guys, that should be the LEAST of your worries. My immediate reaction was "Wow! We got him!" followed very quickly by "Uh-oh, now what?!". While everyone's running around celebrating the "victory", you can be assured that Al Qaida is planning a response -on a grand level. They need to show that the death of Bin Laden does not spell the death of Al Qaida. Osama Bin Laden was a crazy sinister guy but he was also smart -and always surrounded by smart people. Why do you think it took us -with all our military and Intelligence resources- nearly TEN years to catch the dude?! Don't you think Osama saw the day coming when he would be found and killed? Don't you think he and all of Al Qaida already planned what to do when it did happen?

Remember this kiddies, killing doesn't bring about peace, it brings about more killing. The only exception to this rule would have to be the nuking of Japan during WWII, but that was a unique situation in an era where our enemies where contained within strict borders and victory wasn't based on the idea of annihilating an entire religious population like Al Qaida wants to do.

Am I happy Osama Bin Laden is dead? Hell yeah! It is indeed a small moral victory for all Americans who witnessed the events of 9/11 first-hand. We humans are programmed with a need for revenge (we call it justice, but let's not split hairs here) so to hear that the guy who was behind the entire plot -as well as hundreds of other terrorist operations in the last decade- was finally killed by American operatives gave most of us -me included- a small sense of closure and satisfaction; but if you think this is somehow going to kill the entire Al Qaida organization, you're sadly mistaken. We should all be looking over our shoulder because Al Qaida will answer this in a big way. They'll be around long after all the Republican and Democratic finger-pointers have turned blue in the face trying to lay blame or take credit for Bin Laden's death.

C'mon. Give the president credit where credit is due: he had the balls to say "go ahead and do it, boys!" -a hundred things could've gone wrong with this operation; the biggest being that Osama Bin Laden wasn't even there! And while we're handing out pats on the back, let's give one to the previous Bush administration. W and his boys started all this forward progress -despite more than a few innocent people being waterboarded- so the Obama administration had a good headstart from the get-go. But neither president nor their administrations get to claim credit for this. Neither have tried. But yet some MORON came up with that STUPID Facebook post and a bunch of people jumped on board. It was -no doubt- put out there by some Republican dipshit who's all worried now that the killing of Osama Bin Laden will guarantee Mr. Obama another term as president. I am neither Republican nor Democrat and I'm not particularly worried about who wins the presidency because NOTHING WILL CHANGE MUCH - it never does! Nothing will change until the ENTIRE Government is reformed. So instead of trying to shift the blame or take the credit of this so-called "AMERICAN victory", I'll be looking over my shoulder for Al Qaida's response.

God Bless Our Military
God Bless Our Country
And God Bless all the Morons that live here and have Facebook accounts.
Too bad Facebook can't come up with some sort of "common sense" filter for posts.
