    A line from the opening moments of Spurlock's movie (his voice):

    "Osama Bin Laden is what we thought he was."

    If you had said he couldn't find his own crank, that would have sold it better.

    But yeah, why would anybody really believe Spurlock has found Bin Laden. If he went into some of those villages, wouldn't he be more likely to be killed, especially if they found out he was looking for OBL.

    Page and a half, nearly, and no one says, "Great viral marketing. The internet is an idiot, and Spurlock has a genius publicist."?

    Osama was fired from a McDonald's in Riyadh in September 2001.

    He wanted to be famous.

    Spurlock’s movie is titled, “Where in the world is Bin Laden?”
    I have no doubt that Spurlock answered this question. However, it isn’t going to be the obvious “He’s at 455 Mohammed Drive, Islamabad.” The answer is going to be the metaphysical answer of “In the hearts and minds of these poor Muslims over here.”

    It always amazed me that the same asshole who wants all of us in the West dead because of our economic freedoms comes from one of the richest families in Saudi Arabia.

    He doesn't want us dead because of "economic freedoms." Parsing it to a simple comment like that, one which has no real basis, is very poor.

    Ok, then why does he keep using the phrase "wealth" when talking about the West?
    I wish you'd stop the blue font, Pastor, I have no idea when you're serious or not.
