Does anybody remember - just a few days ago, between Aug. 28 - 31, 2012 when reports were circulating that "Osama Bin Laden may have been unarmed when he was shot." ?
She short moral of this story is: "Do I really care?"
And you know me!
The only thing short about me is my stature. So, now, we're "Off to see the Wizard!"
There are so many diving boards situated around his pool of crap that I don't know which to choose to dive in!
1) To argue that "he was unarmed" is going beyond a disgrace to the memories and the honor of those American lives - and countless others across the Mid East that he took.
2) Whether or not he was "armed" is both inconsequential and inappropriate.
3) I will admit that even though I wasn't present, I'm guessing that the people in these towers, in the Pentagon, and those in a plane over a Pennsylvania field probably weren't armed, either.
4) I will also venture that the originators of the "unarmed" message didn't lose a loved one in this senseless tradgedy.
(If the originator(s) DID lose a loved one on September 11, 2001, and they STILL spew this crap, then their blinders are on so tight that they are cutting off circulation to their damned brain!)
5) Nor do I really care if Saddam Hussein, Adolph Hitler (and a few others!) - AND THEIR WIVES - were 'unarmed'.
6) Why the wives? Because they supported their husbands. Using the knowledge that they had beforehand, they had every opportunity in the world to save thousands of lives. They chose not to do so. Supports are just as guilty as perpetrators.
Now... where are these damned, selfish, attention-seeking "unarmed" squawkers? I love giving gifts on anniversaries, and today is, indeed, an anniversary. And you know how generous I am, and how much I love giving gifts....... :)
