He started the plannig for the operation seven months ago because he "knew" that Trump would start frothing up morons and he would have to do soemthing big.

There's nothing that says they can hand that power to the executive branch, and no war has been declared for over 50 years -- according to a strict interpetation, all of them were and are unconstitutional. Thus, you seem to be very selective in your strict interpretations. Would the founders consider a half-day operation to eliminate an enemy of the US, who has declared war on it and killed thousands of US citizens an unlawful invasion? Pakistan or even Canada, I have serious doubts.

Bush didn't get him because he was preoccupied with Saddam.

If we knew where to send him mail? You people crack me up.

Have a good night.

I'm not making accusations, just wondering why you think that their ability or effectiveness in expressing their opinions is, from what it seems that you are saying, problematic. And of course, no prominant Democrat pol (outside of possibly Kucinch) goes around agreeing with Chomsky's take on foreign policy.

Do you think they should not have a right to that forum? I think most educated people on the "left" think of Chomsky as they do Marx. Perceptive in observation, yet grotesquely wrong in their conclusions and solutions.

Most people on the "left" actually find Chomsky clownish -- if they actually know who he is. How do explain, at various times, calling both Obama and Chomsky "leftists"? The logic of this, according to this article, would mean Obama is distressed by bin Laden's death. Even though he ordered it and called it "justice." Please provide these definitions because, as it stands, this article is perhaps the most insanely idiotic mess of twisted thought ever written.

The Leftists want Sharia Law?" No. They really don't.

Obama shifted focus to the near east region of Afghanistan/Pakistan. Bush had nearly eight years to tap bin Laden and failed, in no small part because he didn't "think about him very much." He was killed on he Obama's command. Those are facts. You are correct in that there were a "number" of those on the "left" that welcomed 9/11. But it would be moronic to claim that it is in any way a representative sample. And, of course, there were a "number" of those on the right that also cheered it and used it as fodder for religious screeds and paleocon isolationist hyperbole. But a representative sample? Not even close.

I'll take seven months over eight years of “not a top priority use of American resources" and "I don't really think about him very much."

"Minions" - hilarious. Totally hilarious post there, philly. Go SF Giants!

Nice touch! But don't forget about the Kenyan Stalin Socialists, Imposter Facsists and Black Nazis!

There are far left folks that definately support Hamas, etc. But then there are "Constitutional conservatives" that effectively do the same (see Ron Paul's proposal to cut off Israel). Is it reasonable to paint all conservatives with that brush? No? Then why is it ok to do the same with "liberals"?

Thu, 5 May 2011 17:28:45 +0000 http://frontpagemag.com/2011/05/05/leftist-tears-for-bin-laden/#IDComment149201816 http://frontpagemag.com/2011/05/05/leftist-tears-for-bin-laden/#IDComment149197444 Because you are a partisan ideolougue? Among mainstream liberals (not Ward Churchill/Chomsky types), one of the major gripes with Bush was his shift in priority from getting bin Laden and al Qaeda in Afghanistan/Pak to a completely unrelated mission in Iraq. But of course, it's a hypotheical and we can never know. What we do know is that Obama has shifted the priority back to that region, and bin Laden is dead. Thu, 5 May 2011 17:08:15 +0000 http://frontpagemag.com/2011/05/05/leftist-tears-for-bin-laden/#IDComment149197444 http://frontpagemag.com/2011/05/05/leftist-tears-for-bin-laden/#IDComment149189507 And of course Hamas is a conservative religious group. I guess conservatives loved bin Laden.

From the tone of comments here lately, they could have just checked thier own message boards, where the overlying tone is a subdued "Glad he's dead, but..."
