Bin Laden Dead?

or 3 1/3 parents

Turns out I had the wrong compound. Its actually 0.899 mi, 1.447 km from Pakistan's West Point according to the New York Times. No good Google accomodations reviews.

btw do you think Eric Holder personally ordered ObL to be taken dead only? Fuckabunchatribunals

jeezus, George Will sounding like Michael Moore 9-1/2 years ago.

That's pretty progressive for George Will

will has been letting his isolationist streak show for a long time!

Will has a survivor's script; his career is full of pivots away from potential self-immolations.

script = instinct

This is slightly bizarre. Two days ago i was reading a 'moronic Youtube comment' and someone actually wrote "Bin Laden is dead". It was just a throw away comment but the timing is wow for me.

Was it Bill Pullman? If so I might have an explanation but it's really confusing and includes Balthazar Getty.

I'm still interested in accidental twitter celebrity guy who was in abbottabad to get away from it all and ended up hearing the helicopters show up

he heard some helicopters

Wait, was that you, Mordy?

"It is a form of justice, and I like the fact that we did it..."

yeah - mordechai <-- me

i feel like maybe i was a little flustered lol

They just played a brief clip of an unidentified American voice. If that was you, it sounded fine!

or 3 1/3 parents

duh, yeah! you people...

mordy if you can tell me exactly what time you were on I can get it for you

around 3:14-3:23

just joshing your chain del

Obviously, losing prominent individual leaders hurts insurgencies and terrorist groups, but in the way we talk about these figures we tend to exaggerate greatly how important they are as part of the larger conflict.

So Osama bin Laden is the Bernie Madoff of radical Islam?

like i know i'm a midwestern rube who lives in an unimportant city, but (honest q) are ppl really expecting swift, successful retribution for this? i've never really bought the idea that obl was, like, a folk hero. dude facilitated terrorism, but i can't imagine he ~inspired~ it.

maybe i'm wrong, but i never got a "revolutionary" vibe
--cop a cute abdomen (gbx)

nah I more just meant 'lone gunman type decides this would be a good time to pull some shit'. I'm prob just paranoid tho.

Friend on FB put terrorist in scare quotes when describing OBL ("you know, I'm glad we killed this 'terrorist' and all but...")

hahaha wow

manson never actually killed anybody either

he was a freedom fighter, fighting freedom wherever it may be

so he wasn't here then?

And here we go:

A leading Republican senator on Monday questioned the U.S. government's decision to dispose of Osama bin Laden's body within 24 hours.

Bin Laden, the former al Qaeda leader killed by U.S. forces on Sunday, was buried at sea within 24 hours of his death in accordance with Islamic law. Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.), a top Republican on the Armed Services Committee, is skeptical of the decision.

"To me, that didn't make a lot of sense," Graham said during an interview with conservative radio talk show host Laura Ingraham.

xpp
"I also vowed not to brush my teeth"

Makes perfect sense, if you don't want to make the US look like haters of Islam.

xxp "I spent my first five minutes crying and then I couldn't get it off fast enough"

yeah a lot of people are posting that on fb right now "why did we dispose of the body so quickly? is he really dead or yak yak yak"

as though this wouldn't have been a much bigger story in like, 2004

xxp "I spent my first five minutes crying and then I couldn't get it off fast enough"

if he'd been a little slower, maybe he wouldn't have gotten so bloody

teacher kinda looked a lot like obl, makes you wonder...

wait mordy killed osama I'm confused this is moving too fast

mordy read the last rites getitrite

congratulations, Mordy

chris hedges piece is real good

How could Politico and The Hill not realize Rush Limbaugh was being sarcastic?

i don't really think how he was killed is exactly relevant here i was just saying the way they were trumpeting partroitism was pretty amusing, geraldo was pretty histerical about this and i found it odd and a little scary

as a dude who saw this same thing, i can guarantee you that you were the last viewer in the world to catch on that he had been shot, since they hadnt spent much time talking about anything else on fox

speaking of which, did anyone else see the creepy midnight fox dude open with "today, usama bin laden found out that the promise of 72 virgins was bunk"? classy.

so glad i got rid of cable

"it's only 49"

xxp that may be so, was in a card game at the time so only was half-paying attention

my bad guys

it's 49 virgins, the problem is they're all virginal cobras.
