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:

I don't give a shit what you think.

You are wrong.

This is BS.

It is going to do nothing more than turn them into political pawns for Obama. These people worked their whole lives for these operations. They don't need this BS.

Oh, and I see you let Google be your friend and you finally got the unit right....

No Google. Not wrong. Not BS. Your hysteria notwithstanding.

Ah, so your shorthand is ok (ST6), but mine isn't. Getting a clearer picture of you with every post. Keep 'em coming.

It's done. I linked to it and you read it. Why shouldn't Congress take a 10 minute vote and pass it?

If it's done it's done and 10 minutes to pass it..meh, you're right, it's nothing. but the whole thing... lots of time on something that isn't as important as other things that time to prepare the thing could have been spent on. I just don't "get" the need for it at all

And Mercenary was completely clueless when he said it might compromise those guys on the ground.

Exactly. Even if he was a part of ST6 (assuming I'm allowed that shorthand), it's clear he has no freaking clue what a Resolution is or what it's meant to accomplish. His asinine projections that a Resolution would somehow do harm to these guys or prevent them from doing what they do is so absurd it's laughable. And if this kind of moron could get elevated to that level, I'm suddenly more terrified of them than I ever was of OBL.

Now I'm going to call you a fucking idiot. How dare you claim that our PRESIDENT manipulated a team of Navy SEALS for political purposes. You filthy piece of shit, you disgust me.

Then you might be interested to know that instead of passing a Resolution recognizing the success of this mission, House Republicans (and 16 anti-choice Democrats) passed H.R. 3, which attempts to redefine rape as it pertains to abortion and effectively raises taxes on women and small businesses by "prevent[ing] women from using “itemized medical deductions, certain tax-advantaged health care accounts or tax credits included in last year’s health care law to pay for abortions or for health insurance plans that cover abortion.” In doing so, the bill forces women and small businesses that provide health insurance that covers abortion to pay more in taxes than they would otherwise. Both economic conservative Grover Norquist and the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce noted that the bill is basically a tax increase."

Yay for "real work".

Yep, only 10 minutes. That gargantuan nightmare called Medicare Part D was only open to voting for 15 minutes. Well, except that when the Republicans saw that they didn't have the votes and the bill had failed, they held the vote open for 3 hours (at 3AM, no less) while they threatened their members and posted guards at the doors so they couldn't leave the floor.

But they don't have 10 minutes to recognize the brave men who risked their lives to rid us of the Most Wanted terrorist leader on the planet.

So are you saying the "legalise rape/ban abortion...." bill would not have passed if the mission recognition had passed?

Polotfriggingtics.......... It was a political move. It had nothing to do with the said intent.

These people are blowing political smoke up your ass....

::scratches head::

Maybe I shouldn't have come back after all. Why do y'all seem to want to take me on?

No. I was pointing out to a fellow liberal that our wonderful Republican Congress doesn't have 10 minutes to recognize our nation's heroes, but they'll waste whatever time necessary to try to further damage women in this country. I find that disgusting. If that's the "real work" they're doing on my dime, I'd just as soon they go home. YMMV.
