You, Sir, are another idiot in the cue of many others, please take a number and prepare to wait another century.
Solution of course is to allow the photos to be leaked. Then the official stance can condemn it while still allowing the photos to be out there. Pity they had to go and piss off Wikileaks, huh?
So, the question remains, having slayed one evil mofo, does it stop the rest of the crazies? I thinking not.
Some of us remember; some of us never knew. Even that knowledge isn't enough to make some of hate ourselves. Your sometimes valid points are heavily obscured by your intense self-righteousness. Where are you writing from, Heaven?
Any truth to the rumors that they took Osama's oldest son captive? I heard it tossed out casually from some friends this morning. They suspect it's being kept quiet so they can torture him for information in Guantanamo Bay. But they're getting minors in Human Rights, so IDK.
Lots of talk about waterboarding last night and today, implying the waterboarding of at least one Gitmo detainee provided US with info on one of OBL's couriers...<sigh>
I'm not going to dox myself to make a point. The difference between Noam and me is that I'm not going to write an article about Bolivian history. Know why? I don't know much about it. Of course, that's just a technique.
You are absolutely right on every count. I am not way trying to sound combative when I say that I never intended to paint America as perfect, it isn't and we aren't. I will steadfastly stick to my guns and reiterate that we are the freest nation on the Earth. All that said, there is more to be done. Definitely. By the way, killing that cocksucker Bin Laden felt pretty good, no?
Hmm, we need to kill another evil doer to reunify WWP. Where is that blonde bastard Assange. It's time for Delta Force to get theirs.
Not really weird. These were the same guys who disowned him, and better to have them off our soil than potentially lynched, which would have started a shitstorm the likes of which I never want to see.
We used to be the freest nation on earth. I'd place us no higher than 5th these days, and that's only if I'm feeling exceptionally generous. I obviously don't think the US is perfect. These days, I'd settle for good.
Just so you know, I wasn't being serious with the dox or gtfo thing. I was just playing along with your joke.
Obama needs to be sent a huge amount of messages telling him DOX OR STFU! I want that pic so I can have some shoop fun.
Does anybody think that maybe the reason they haven't released the photographs yet is because the Seals weren't exactly kind to the corpse? I mean, they probably hated him more than any of us did.
I sure hope thats the reason! Edit: As in , I hope they desecrated his corpse. I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
President Obama: "You boys did good, now we just need to present the body to the people" NAVY SEAL: "Uh... I'm afraid we can't." President Obama: "What? Why not?" NAVY SEAL: "We kinda uh... shat him into pigs." President Obama: "Shat him? Into pigs?" NAVY SEAL: "Yes sir." President Obama: "..How?" NAVY SEAL: "Well we first cut him up into small pieces. We then took turns stuffing as many of those pieces into our asses as we could. Then we pressed our assholes tightly against the assholes of pigs, and shat him into the said pigs" President Obama: "And the pigs?" NAVY SEAL: "We dumped them into the sea" President Obama: "Hmmmmm.. yeah, I see. Let's just go with that last part."
You think that with one chopper down and self-destructed, their clean escape getting tighter, they took time out to fry him up with some bacon? Osama Bin Burgers!
That remains to be seen. There are plenty of indications that UBL enjoyed some popularity among select groups of people. Hiding out in a mansion for five years is not playing well with a surprisingly large number of otherwise rabidly anti-Western folks.
Any dox/links? I'm not trying to be antagonistic; I'm curious but rather busy pursuing my own livelihood atm.
Since I am neither Bradley Manning nor do I look like a slightly less effeminate Andy Warhol, I can't get you the good stuff. But, here's some nice open source reading: bin laden fails to stir young arabs in revolts era bin laden popularity waning Declining Muslim support That should get you started. The fact is that the ultra-orthodox brand of Islam that the Taliban and al Qa-ida espouse is no more popular with Muslims than Evangelism is amongst Christians. Sure, there is a limited audience that approves and there are always going to be people that hate the West so much that they will support anyone that thumbs their nose at Western globalization. However, Uncle UBL high-rolling (relatively speaking) in his pad in a pretty nice part of Pakistan has certainly alienated some of the faithful. It does not pay to battle Western decadence from a mansion well outside of the hopes and dreams of all but the tiniest fraction of Muslims worldwide.
Thank you, I will take a look at those. I wasn't requesting supersekrt gov dox, just sources--I have had an intuitive sense that the Muslim world isn't as polarized as the MSM would have us believe and recent events are bearing that out, but haven't had a chance to do much reading up. Also, please to refrain from casting aspersions on Andy Warhol's manhood, kthanx.
No worries at all. Look for a white paper being published by three fairly smart terrorism experts by the end of the summer about why UBL getting smoked is a double whammy for aQ. I should hope I don't have to provide dox concerning Mr. Warhol's sexuality... Not that it changes his impact on, nor my appreciation for, contemporary art one bit.
