Bin Laden is dead. Now what?

Post by kevinweitzel75 »

Guess this can go in the "political" thread. Now that Bin Laden is dead, what comes next? Do we bring our troops home? Do we stay and "rebuild" what has been destoryed? Even though he's dead, there will always be someone to take his place. Just thinking and wondering what everyone here has to say.

:SB:
Sending in troops to play static defense around our embassies is NOT the answer! Standing still just waiting to be attacked bring backs memories of Beirut 1983... 241 dead servicemen... due to an undefined mission and chain-of-command stupidity they were literally sitting ducks!

I'd say it's time to pull out all embassy staff from countries who acquiesce to the extremist Muslims,, and most of all, STOP providing them $$$'s in aid!

And most of all, let's bring our people home from Afghanistan. The job was done in Afghanistan within the first year, now we're just plowing the fields of our cemeteries with our slain troops and creating more invalids that are taxing an already overwhelmed Veteran's Administration.

Besides, none of these countries want us for anything but $$ and someone to continue to threaten.

Time to :STP: ...
And time to STOP :bdh: and start beating some sense into the dead-brained politicos... not that they will bite the hand that feeds BOTH sides of the aisle... fed by big business, big military-industrial complex, big pharma, big oil, banks, Wall Street, Faceboook IPO scam, even the Federal Reserve... (What!!? Kicking $40 BILLION a month into the coffers of mortgage-backed securities?!!!)... the list never ends. We the people are no longer are being represented, only big money is represented.

Ok, take it away, I'm jumping off the :SB:

What's funny is how much they actually do! I had a friend who spent a year in Dubai, (admittedly, not the strictest gulf state) and he said that the western culture of drinking, sex, etc. was very prevalent in society, just not in public. But behind a closed door it's just like anywhere else. Just look at the things that were discovered in bin laden's compound...
I'm not sure what my spirit animal is, but I'm confident it has rabies.

Good point and Bin Laden's home was pretty much like mine except for the 72 virgins. ;)

Don't trust people who don't eat bacon.
This is my gym. I have to travel down a bumpy road to get there. There are no treadmillls, no machines, and no personal trainers. I walk..I run..I breathe the fresh air. I can go any time I want, as much as I want and there is no membership fee.

Have fun when you're 100. No thanks, I'll enjoy the meat, and not worry about how long I live.... :D

Not being one to hi-jack a thread (this one's already wandering...), I've got to ask:

If meat is so awful, why is tofu shaped into things that resemble it!?
