No House resolution honoring SEAL's bin Laden mission

[Jill]

"House Republicans say they have no plans to follow the Senate in passing a resolution honoring the military mission that killed Osama bin Laden.

"The decision by GOP leaders follows new rules they enacted in January scrapping the tradition of congratulatory measures, which they complained clogged up the House floor.

"The Senate on Tuesday passed a resolution, 97-0, commending “the men and women of the United States Armed Forces and the United States intelligence community for the tremendous commitment, perseverance, professionalism and sacrifice they displayed in bringing Osama bin Laden to justice.” The measure commended President Obama and reaffirmed the Senate’s commitment “to disrupting, dismantling and defeating al Qaeda.” It also recognized former President George W. Bush’s efforts after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks."

Gee, what happened to that supposed Republican patriotism, rah-rah USA, Support Our Troops stuff? Where's the flag-waving when it actually counts for something?

Shame on them.

There should be no resolution. There should be no discussion. The public does not need and has no need to know.

If this were the Bush administration they would be accused of jingoism, fear mongering, and political grandstanding. But because this is the Obama administration it is "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!", without a whimper of protest from the left. What hypocrisy.....

Shame on you bleeding hearts!

Supporting assassination.

The public doesn't need to know what? This doesn't make sense. Care to explain?

If George W. Bush had actually managed to kill Osama bin Laden, not a single person in this country, including those on the left, would have one word to say against a friggin' House Resolution honoring the troops who successfully carried out the mission.

What many of us on the left objected to with Bush, was his FAKE "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" event that was nothing more than a photo op for no reason whatsoever. Nothing was actually accomplished.

I don't understand this, either, except that I guess you're just trying to turn the argument around. Though I have to say it was a pretty unsuccessful attempt.

Now, instead of using this as an opportunity to bash liberals, would you mind commenting on the subject of the OP? Do you agree that the House should not pass a Resolution in honor of the Special Forces Team 6 that took out the Most Wanted Man in the world?

Read my lips....
1. No, the public does not need to know a God Damm thing that goes on during these missions. No details, no arm chair quarterbacking bull shit.

2. No, the House has no business ruining these peoples careers by giving them recognition. These guys want to continue to do what they do and don't want to become political pawns in Obama's game for re-election!

3. No, they are not called freaking "Special Forces Team 6"! (People like you make me want to kill kittens!)

The Senate Resolution (#159 - passed 97-0)) does not provide details of the mission or name any names or say anything that would ruin any careers. Its a simple recognition of a job well done by all involved.

Get a grip, man.

No you get a grip. Leave the issue alone and move on about your business. You have no right or need to know shit. These people do not want or need your political bs.

Actually, under the circumstances, I'm still trying to figure out what the mission was/is. I think catching Hussein and killing Bin Laden are two different kettles of fish though.

[Aliantha]

There are some assignations you just have to support.

True dat!!!!

Yes, I do. Just because I use shorthand on the internet, doesn't mean I'm stupid.

The team that carried out this mission were Joint Special Operations Command Navy SEALs, officially called Naval Special Warfare Development Group, but more commonly referred to as SEAL Team Six.

Now, would you like to show us that you know what a Resolution is, and how this particular resolution would:

1. Expose to the public a "God Damm thing that goes on during these missions. . . details [or] arm chair quarterbacking bull shit."

2. [Ruin] these peoples careers by giving them recognition." Prevent them from the ability "to continue to do what they do and [not] become political pawns in Obama's game for re-election!"

I'll even give you a hint. Here's the Resolution:
