"Today,
at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation
against that compound, in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A small team of
Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and
capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian
casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took
custody of his body."
-—President Barack Obama, May 1, 2011
How long have we been waiting for an announcement like this? What would
we have said in October 2001 if a time portal opened and this message
fell out? |

Bin Laden is dead. We're owned by Saudi Arabia and China. Can't even
drill here.
It's a bit like hanging Mussolini and waking up the next morning and
going back to shoveling cash to Hitler. |

Immediate burial
at sea? Prevents making a shrine of his gravesite, but also dulls the
impact/believability of his demise. Difficult call, I guess. Presume we
had a Muslim chaplain on board the helicopter when they pushed him out. |

I remain suspicious.

Never gonna hear the end of his relocation to Davie Jones' Locker. I swear I just bought a slurpee from the man in Miami-Anymouse
ReplyDelete"I remain suspicious."
ReplyDeleteGive it 3 more days and so will everyone. There's a definite odor here.
Color me an awful person but I'm giggling no matter how this turns out. I mean if he shows up next week or in November of 2012, or is never seen again, it is going to be popcorn time for me. The English language online Pakistani papers are full of sturm and drang, and the Indian papers are having a good giggle. Even Hitler on Downfall has done the "He's did Jim" thing. Oh well celebrate now 'cause gasoline will cost more next month.
ReplyDelete"I remain suspicious."
ReplyDeleteAs am I for that nagging wag the dog feeling.
1.) Fox News. Giraldo breaks this story? Really? Osama since 2001 is Usama in 2011. So the pres can always claim we said we killed "Usama" Bin Laden. Also, not to confuse Osama with Obama?
2.) Drudge puts an rotated photo of a live Osama - upside down to display a dead Osama? Cheap trick.
3.) This death is announced in time to interrupt Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice. Don't phuk with Obama The Donald, even though it was stated later on Fox that they ac.tually killed him a week ago.
4.) Now this? "Buried at Sea." WTFF? According to Islam law within 24 hrs??? Again. WTFF?
This thing stinks to the sky and back.
Bring us the head, preferably severed with a dull hacksaw, lubricated with bacon grease. Only then will I believe.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I recant. But not the stinky parts.
ReplyDeleteWV: binslant
How much more appropriate?
I still think he´s been dead a VERY long time. Now, SOMEBODY, who shall remain nameless, has become The DC BadAss. You´re right. Something stinks and OBL´s body stopped stinkin a LONG time ago. Celebrate anyway: http://jameshooker.net/1/Rock_Your_House.html
ReplyDeleteI'm going with Mark Knopfler: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1axx2FJUTg

Problem with obama is he's become, in every sense of the phrase, the boy who cried wolf. Only his staunchest supporters, ie, the MSM, are going to believe anything he says without question.
ReplyDeleteStill unimpressed here, as well as suspicious.
Okay, who's gonna be first to ask for the long-form death certificate?
ReplyDeleteAh!
ReplyDeleteQuestion answered.

Counterfeit birth certificate? What counterfeit birt certificate?
ReplyDeleteDear Leader just killed the Boogeyman.
"... After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body."
ReplyDeleteWTF? Did TOTUS have the night off, or did POTUS accuse those warriors of murder?
