Bin Laden Dead?

this isn't really the thread for 'birtherism 101' ppl

you can buy into a theory without having the same motives as the people who created it

not that one, you can't

frogbs

Many a well-meaning policy, plus awful ones like apostasy, is based on Islam being passed down at birth

There's no reason to think there is any inside info or whatever, and all the reason in the world to think he is an eligible president - so maintaining scepticism is just stupid, which is even worse.

some people are more or less predisposed to believe these sorts of conspiracy theories especially if you're browsing the right sort of blogs all day

hey guys did you remember when bin laden died?

is your dad captainlorax

tbh I kind of think it is possible thru ignorance + right-wing media which have been rumored to exist in some pockets of American society

yes!

Breaking news: Rush Limbaugh praises Obama without reservation.

^^^actually upset that isn't a rickroll.

not a single person I work with has even brought this up today. I do work with lots of people who are uncomfortable talking about politics, but still, it seems weird. So anticlimactic.

there's really not much to say

We did, in the "man, crazy stuff!" context. Also, the poor guy on twitter who accidentally live-tweeted the helicopter action.

Although one dude was saying oil prices are down 2% so I cracked a joke about bin Laden having a huge stockpile of oil in the garage of that house.

my boss ended a staff mtg today with "well, bin laden's dead" and everyone was like "yup"

Yeah, nobody has mentioned it here either.

not that one, you can't

i would guess your definition of what constitutes "racist behavior" is pretty damn loose then

what would the motive be if someone believed for whatever reason that Bush wasn't born in the country?

oddly enough I found out while I was at a lightning bolt show

take that arab on radar

It's not how Bin Laden would've wanted it

rush, whaaaaa

ha modern office chitchat about lyfe has migrated almost entirely online i bet! nobody is really talking about it irl here, but i bet the nation's commercial trunk internet lines are pretty busy...

i mean, i've been reading blogs and news sites for about, let's see, four hours straight? i don't really feel the need to talk to anyone in the cubes around me.

exactly

The apathy, I mean (million xps probably)

here's something for a slate explainer: will the seal who shot him get that $multimillion reward?

yeah in an awesome scarface style shootout with navy seals at his fuckin sweet gangsta mansion

Can we talk about Pakistan's ISI?

here's something for a slate explainer: will the seal who shot him get that $multimillion reward?

whoever shot him is pretty set for life regardless. could prob be a motivational speaker.

where are the tony montana image macros I ask you

I did find it funny how the media stressed the fact that it was an American missile that took him out

I'd be curious what they'd say if he was killed by friendly fire or if they'd just say it was an American missile

sod this i'll be cross if trump doesn't win tonight

What the hell are you talking about? Get off this thread if you can't even read the news.
x-post
"missile"

i have to imagine your ex-special forces dudes are fairly well set up? maybe not tho, scrapping around for some outfit like blackwater seems a little undignified to me, and the money is famously very good. but clearly men who get into this line of work are wired up a little different than you or me, they just really like it possibly.

we're never gonna know who it was, is the thing.

"missile" what the fuck are you even talking about

"Did anyone ever see bin Laden and Obama in the same room?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuMShxAq7XQ

Are they saying he was shot now? I watched the first hour of coverage and the headline was that it was a missile but there was a possibility he was shot, dunno what they're saying now

btw that was totally not the point of that post

omg

what would the motive be if someone believed for whatever reason that Bush wasn't born in the country?

god just shut up

he stepped on a rake, frogbs

Fwiw, I criticized Dubya's forced hick affectation since he deliberately invoked it, like Sarah Palin, as some sorta "Real 'Murrican" dog-whistle so his target audience would overlook the whole Andover/Yale/millionaire thing.

We've moved past this, I know, just wanted to put that out there.

frogbs it's a bit harder to discredit Dubya's citizenship/birth, considering HIS FATHER WAS A PRESIDENT!

there's an enormous amount of evidence that states that Obama was born in Hawaii, and anyone who was legitimately trying to claim otherwise has been discredited, so basically right now if you believe that Obama was not born in Hawaii, it's basically because you choose to, because of whatever underlying assumptions you hold that makes it easier to believe that Obama is an interloping foreigner who has hijacked this country rather than a legitimately-elected President. Forgive us if we scan that as being racist somehow.

also: Bush is worst prez ever bcz he's subliterate fuckup who's first term was stolen

Pentagon releases slides showing exact location and layout of bin Laden compound: http://abcn.ws/lEDXax

early reports were that he died after using a woman as a human shield. she wasn't great body armour.

god just shut up

dude just sb and move on

(xp to whatever) I was a little nonplussed w/ ^that...fine if it's true, but it kinda plays into our apparent need to turn UBL into some sort of silent-movie caricature villain
