I’ve been thinking Barack Obama would like very much to capture or kill Osama bin Laden, or (if that fails) at least have him declared officially dead. If he is successful, it will be a game changer in more ways……

Obama, no.
Each branch of the military, yes.

Obama is commander-in-chief. The real question is would he ever authorize our military to go after Pakistan’s bombs if they are likely to be taken by the Taliban. I seriously doubt that fits his “grovel before all other’s” foreign policy.

Obama doesn’t have the guts Bush did.

We are not safe.

“Billions of Cat atoms scattered across the universe”.

I pray that Obama has some sort of plan to disable those nukes before the Taliban takes over the capitol. Can you imagine a nuclear Taliban?

Good-bye, Israel. Good-bye, New York. Goodbye, Copenhagen, that’ll teach you to disrespect Mohammad.

Obama, no.
Each branch of the military, yes.

In the meantime, somebody needs to prevent the Taliban from getting its hands on Pakistani nukes, which would be a much worse danger than Osama hiding in a Pakistani cave.

Take care and good luck.

Thanks for the clarity.

Osama is/was just the messenger, Islam is the message.

Take care and we look forward to you coming back safe and sound. Thank you for your service!!

UBL isnt in hell yet. I take heart in knowing sooner or later he will be. I hope our soldiers take him out when they catch him,because I wouldnt want anyone in the military or CIA accused of torturing him. I definitely dont want the taxpayers paying for him to sit in cushy prisons for decades or take the chance of him being released for any reason. Just bring us his head,burn the rest.

Because of obvious security concerns, unless you have a member of the armed forces deployed in your family, sending a package to service members overseas has been limited to a handful of vetted outfits.

There are several, the one I’ve used a number of times is:

Operation Gratitude.

Have had select items shipped to a particular soldier or Marine through them, and have made donations to send “care packages” to others.

Hawk…good luck out there. Take notes. Take pictures. There’s a good book or two in it for you. All the best to you.

Do you know a location to ship a care package for Hawk? I have some books I’d like to send.

and the ISI itself, which has been thoroughly infiltrated by Islamic extremists sympathetic to the Taliban and al-Qaeda.

ED, the ISI created the taliban. They are not infiltrated, they are partnered. It is way past time the west began to doubt every word and deed coming out of
Muslim Pakistan.

They have been suckering the west since they stole a chunk of India. They are worthless allies and worthless people made stupid and cruel by Islam.

Come back safe. We will all be thinking about you. That’s a given.

Best of luck and safety, akhii (brother).

It was never our main mission in that area to hunt down bin Laden. Nor should it have been. Wahhabism in the world’s nastiest spots will go on beautifully without him. The Taliban are maneuvering to put a gun to Islamabad’s head, and separate Pakistan from cooperation with the US and NATO. That’s what matters.
