Ok some seriousness here

[nadinbrzezinski]

Now that OBL is dead... sadly, that will actually raise the risk of an attack.

Revenge of the revenge, of the revenge. This is part of the cycle.

Oh and beware of the rise of RW jingoist emotions as well.

And I hope this country DOES THE DAMN MATURE THING with that body too. That might help to defuse some of the heightened risk of attack.

[woo me with science]

1. Great. Will this mean anal probes at the airports now? nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. Mature reaction... no

it will mean a lot more intel and security work though, and if done correctly, where YOU will not notice it either.

[dhill926]

2. I agree.......

I think the shit stains will eventually blame Obama for any deaths that result from this. "Should have kept it quiet. Now look at what ya done!" I put nothing beyond these folks anymore.

[jefferson_dem]

3. "RW jingoist emotions"?

What the fuck is that? I refuse to cede *real* patriotism to those scumbags who do their damnedest to abuse it. There's nothing at all wrong with feeling the utmost pride in our nation at this moment. Deal with it.

[socialist_n_TN]

12. I understand her..........

I'd rather have a sensible foreign policy based on actual interests rather than emotional jingoism.

Deal with that.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. Go to FR to see what I mean

[seabeyond]

4. they have been trying to do something since 911. the orginization has dwindled.

there might be something here and there, but there always might be something here or there.

[socialist_n_TN]

5. All true nadin, all true............

I actually think that Obama might be the one to DO the right thing with the body. Whatever that right thing is.

[Joe the Revelator]

6. I wish we could let people piss on the body and have intercourse with Osama's head

True story....I have no desire to appease those who might try to get revenge against us.

[Incitatus]

10. They could just burn it and spread the ashes where they dumped the Trade Center rubble. nt

[onenote]

7. exactly what do you think we should do with the body

I've seen suggestions from some here on DU that we will probably "defile" it, which is complete bullshit. But I'm curious what you think the "damn mature thing" to do is?

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. Put it in a US Army casket

and return it to his parents...

[Joe the Revelator]

8. I mean seriously, do you think that those who would retalitate tomrrow would have done so a month

ago if they had the capibility?

[inna]

9. The body

presumably has been taken care of (incinerated?) already. He was killed a week ago, if I understand correctly.

And yeah, dragging the body around would NOT be a good thing, obviously.

[Wednesdays]

24. The plan was okayed a week ago. The operation happened today.

Please don't pass on misinformation.

[Exilednight]

11. I put up something similar. We just created a martyr. n/t

[cherokeeprogressive]

13. Yeah... Not buying your alarmist rhetoric tonight. Thanks for playing though. n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. Whatever dude

the revente cycle is part of this... live with it, or don't... I really don't give two shits about it.

[Codeine]

17. We should handle his body carefully.

I hear it's riddled with cesium.

[jwirr]

19. Totally agree. This is a sensitive time and will mean the difference

between more anger and the end of anger. So far we are doing okay. And I think most people in the ME are just glad it is over but his followers are another matter. They have been trained for revenge.

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. That is why that body is critical

they need to handle it very carefully.

Doing this with respect will go in some ways to maybe turning the rank and file

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. Gee even the EXPERTS in security and the PRESIDENT

mentioned the increased threat... Mr. President, seems you and I understand the real world.

[MiniMe]

22. Probably, but I'm glad that he was killed and not captured

Capturing him would be much worse for security

[Bonobo]

23. I will not applaud an extra-legal assassination.

Without a trial it is nothing more than an illegal assassination.

[themadstork]

25. Not if he were fighting back

And it sounds like he or his thugs were

[ZombieHorde]

26. Recommended. nt
