Osama Dead

Thank you, Simone

 

I hope it's true... I doubt it is...

 

Also waiting for J. Skilling to be treated like a woman, in jail.

Such modest wishes.

 

Starman, the thread title is pleading for a question mark, IMHO.

At this point, Osama's death is nowhere near as big of a deal as it would have been right after 9/11. Too many other fish running their own small terrorism ponds, instead of one big carp protecting a massive lake.

 

Not true at all... If this is true, it will be fucking huge...

 

I hope it's true and if it is true, it means a lot, in tems of symbolism, and maybe even in terms of destroying al-Quaeda, I don't know how involved bin Laden is in planning for them anymore since he had to start hiding out like a frightened, weak animal. But from what I read in the AP, it looks thinly sourced, to say the least.

 

It's huge symbolically, Mizzou, but in terms of the war on terrorism? Everyone else and their sister is tearing us to shreds in Afghanistan and Iraq anymore, and it's not all coming on Osama's orders.

 

I have no idea if he's dead or not.

Politically, he's more valuable to one American political party alive than dead, I do know that.

Dead, not so much.

If he's alive though, where was his big fifth anniversary TV special?

I'm sure Larry King would have been happy to have him on.

 

Yeah, I have it on authority that Harry Reid arranged the Meals on Wheels to come to his cave, and Nancy Pelosi drove him to his dialysis appointments. Jesus.

Pelosi, in fact, went on record saying that OBL's capture/death, at this stage, would change little, if anything -- and was promptly labeled treasonous by the Mighty Wurlitzer.

The thing most politically advantageous to Dems in the war on terror is that Bush and his gang of deep thinkers are running it. Of course, that's exactly why the master campaigners in the Democratic party are going to run primarily on the economy this fall.

 

You can say that again.

 

But god forbid the police beat a murderer?

 

His dying in piece is very bad for the assmunches who took us to war to get him.
