May he be greeted by 72 lesbian goats wearing strap-ons, and sodomized for all eternity. Oh, and wrong forum.
And so the debate begins. KNOW WHO YOUR FRIENDS ARE... apologies for the format. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/asia/2011/05/20115241936984209.html Central & South Asia Reactions: Bin Laden's death Global reactions to the news of Osama bin Laden's death. Barack Obama - US presidentToday, at my direction, the United States carried out that operation... they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body. The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date against al-Qaeda. Tonight, we give thanks to the counter intelligence officials who have tirelessly worked, we give thanks to the men who carried out this operation. Finally, let me say to the families, we have not forgotten your loss, today's achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country. Tonight we are once again reminded that American can do whatever we set our mind to ... we can do these things not because of wealth and power but because of who we are. Pakistan Foreign OfficeThe death of bin Laden is a "major setback to terrorist organisations around the world". "This operation was conducted by the US Forces in accordance with declared US policy that Osama bin Laden will be eliminated in a direct action by the US forces, wherever found in the world." Yousuf Raza Gilani - Pakistani prime minister We will not allow our soil to be used against any other country for terrorism and therefore I think it's a great victory, it's a success and I congratulate the success of this operation. Hamid Karzai - Afghan president The killing of bin Laden is very "important news". The Taliban must learn a lesson from this. The Taliban should refrain from fighting. The war against terrorism is in its sources, in its financial sources, its sanctuaries, in its training bases, not in Afghanistan Ismail Haniyeh - head of Hamas in the Gaza strip We condemn the assassination and the killing of an Arab holy warrior. We ask God to offer him mercy with the true believers and the martyrs. We regard this as a continuation of the American policy based on oppression and the shedding of Muslim and Arab blood. Ghassan Khatib - Palestine Authority spokesperson Getting rid of Bin Laden is good for the cause of peace worldwide but what counts is to overcome the discourse and the methods - the violent methods - that were created and encouraged by bin Laden and others in the world. Benjamin Netanyahu - Israeli prime minister This is a resounding triumph for justice, freedom and the values shared by all democratic nations fighting shoulder to shoulder in determination against terrorism. The state of Israel joins together in the joy of the American people after the liquidation of bin Laden. George W. Bush - former US president This momentous achievement marks a victory for America, for people who seek peace around the world, and for all those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001. The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done. Michael Bloomberg - New York City mayor The killing of Osama bin Laden does not lessen the suffering that New Yorkers and Americans experienced at his hands, but it is a critically important victory for our nation - and a tribute to the millions of men and women in our armed forces and elsewhere who have fought so hard for our nation. New Yorkers have waited nearly 10 years for this news. It is my hope that it will bring some closure and comfort to all those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001 Raymond Kelly - New York police commissioner Killing of Osama bin Laden a "welcome milestone" for the families of the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks. David Cameron - British prime minister Osama bin Laden was responsible for the worst terrorist atrocities the world has seen -- for 9/11 and for so many attacks, which have cost thousands of lives, many of them British. It is a great success that he has been found and will no longer be able to pursue his campaign of global terror. The news that Osama bin Laden is dead will bring great relief to people across the world. P. Chidambaram - Indian home minister We take note with grave concern that part of the statement in which (US) President Obama said that the firefight in which Osama bin Laden was killed took place in Abbottabad 'deep inside Pakistan'. This fact underlines our concern that terrorists belonging to different organisations find sanctuary in Pakistan. Alain Juppe - France's foreign minster Bin Laden's death is a "victory for all democracies fighting the abominable scourge of terrorism". Angela Merkel - German Chancellor Last night the forces of peace achieved a victory. But this does not mean that international terrorism has been defeated yet. We must all remain vigilant. Silvio Berlusconi - Italian prime minister This is a great outcome in the fight against evil, in the fight against terrorism, a great outcome for the United States and for all democracies. Benigno Aquino - Philippine president The death of Osama bin Laden marks a signal defeat for the forces of extremism and terrorism. It represents the death of the efforts of one man to stoke the fires of sectarian hatred and to promote terrorism on a scale unprecedented in the history of mass murder. Franco Frattini - Italian foreign minister Bin Laden's death at the hands of US forces "is a victory of good over evil, of justice over cruelty". Anders Fogh Rasmussen - NATO secretary general This is a significant success for the security of NATO Allies and all the nations which have joined us in our efforts to combat the scourge of global terrorism to make the world a safer place for all of us. Robert Fisk - journalist Osama bin Laden was the founder of al-Qaeda, but to suggest that he was in command, sitting in some computer cave, is completely rubbish. He spent most of his time hiding, most of his time running from the US authorities. I never thought he would hang around long in Afghanistan but in Pakistan he had a soft spot. He felt safer in Pakistan than he did in Afghanistan, and I think that is correct. You have to realise that bin Laden is a very popular mind, even with the royalty. He was saying things about the West, which their dictators wouldn't say, his condemnation of the West, and he had to say it from a cave. He is a figure who would be reflected upon. Steve Clemmons – The New America Foundation It's game changing news. We got used to the fact that Osama bin Laden was beyond our reach. He has slipped off the radar screen, he was a pop culture figure with a fanatic bent. The Muslim world are going to continue to have to deal with those who are inspired by him but of course knocking off a symbol globally is significant. Imtiaz Gul – political analyst It has come as a big surprise to most of the Pakistanis, particularly the location. Many believed that he had been long dead. It is very close to the Pakistani military academy. "I'd presume that the Pakistani intelligence was involved to the extent, [since] previous [al-Qaeda members] had been captured with their assistance." In most cases, the Americans wouldn’t tell the Pakistani security institutions where they were headed so in this case they (Pakistani intelligence) were probably on board but probably didn’t know where they (the US) were going to. Mark Kimmit - Military Analyst/US Army Brigadier This is not the end of the movement, this is not the end of the terrorism but this is the end of the chapter Capturing or killing bin Laden has more iconic value. It will have symbolic value, because it has been a number of years since bin Laden has exercised day to day control over operations. We still have an al-Qaeda threat out there and that will be there for a number of years. This organisation (al-Qaeda) is more than bin Laden, it may be symbolised by bin Laden, but it definitely is more than him.
Sexy in the club All the girls like what's up Bin Laden He's dead They rapin errybody out here in Pakisatan They gotta raise the terror level to neon pink now, in fear of backlash by other fundamentalists. This is no real victory for anybody but the bruised ego of American military commanders who took 8 years to find Carmen San Diego. It might even hurt the economy with less spending on defense, and defense is all the American public sector has.
I guess we don't have to wonder if Obama will be re-elected now. I didn't think they would ever get him. I always wondered why the intelligence couldn't track these couriers before. This is exactly how they found him.
I sensed another iconic moment for Israeli propaganda to be enshrined as yet another reason to never give Palestinians their rights or to keep pushing for another few kilometers of the West Bank, so enquiring minds had to do some research. 'Political analysts in the Gaza Strip said Haniyeh was attempting through his remarks to cool tensions in the territory with al Qaeda-inspired Salafi groups. They consider Hamas too moderate and waged gun battles recently with its forces. "Haniyeh took in his consideration the situation in Gaza and the strong presence of Salafi groups. It was an attempt to reconcile with them after the fighting," said analyst Hani Habib" http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/05/02/us-binladen-palestinians-idUSTRE7413UL20110502
Reposted from ace: I was praying*the rug Down at a place called The Jug With a goat*named Linda Lu When in walked a man With a gun in his hand And he was looking for you know who. He said, "Hey there fellow, With the stain spreading*yellow, Watcha tryin' to prove? 'Cause that's my country*there And I'm a SEAL*who cares And this might be all for you." I was scared and fearing for my life. I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree. 'Cause he was lean, and mean, And big and bad, Lord, Pointin' that gun at me. I said, "Wait a minute, mister, I didn't even kiss her. Don't want no trouble with you. And I know you don't owe me But I wish you'd let me Ask one favor from you." [Chorus] "Won't you give me three steps, Gimme three steps mister, Gimme three steps towards the door? Gimme three steps Gimme three steps mister, And you'll never see me no more." The*guards got*blown*away And I began to pray As their blood*pooled*on the floor. And I'm telling you son, Well, it ain't no fun Staring straight down a forty-four. Well he smiled then yelled Yippie Ki Yay* That's the moment he'd been training*for. And you could hear me screaming a mile away As*my brains got splattered*on the floor. - Zombie Bin Laden
Let's see: 3000 Americans killed by Bin Laden. Hamas happy. Bin Laden killed by 25 Navy Seals. Hamas angry. Propaganda or fact?
I love how cleanly this was executed. Just brilliant, flawless all the way around. Obama made the right call in not going for a drone strike. Get in, kill the f***er, remove the body, confirm the identity, and then dispose of the corpse... all before most of the world was even aware what happened. Busted chopper? Blow it up. Scorched earth, baby. This was the equivalent of scoring a game winning touchdown and then quietly handing the ball to the ref and walking back to the lockerroom to go take a nice long victory dump. All business.
Absolutely agree. Barack looked like Barry Sanders walking to the sideline after a touchdown after that speech.
I love it! What a great day, ...I'm so proud our President, I had questions on his appearance of leadership but not much more right now...Proud of the Country ..but especially proud of our Rainbow Six inspired special force assault team...Think for a sec, and imagine Bin Laden's last few seconds of life - realizing the last face he would see would be a face of an American Elite Warrior sending him where he belongs....I love it Great Job by all !
At the risk of praising OBL he did go down fighting with a gun in his hand. There is no way of knowing for sure but I suspect he was a true believer until the end. I'm guessing he didn't die in fear but went down thinking about 72 virgins waiting for him. That said great job by our special forces!
Maybe maybe not. It would've been better if he was caught like Saddam in a hidey hole but the way OBL went down Jihadist will spin this like Davy Crockett at the Alamo.
