Bin Laden Dead?

Perhaps everyone else in the world is dead and they're the only five actually alive.

frankly I'm surprised anyone in that bldg came out alive

!

well not really

I know we went through this yesterday, but how did Brennan have it so fucking wrong on Monday?

Clearly an elaborate scheme to get him to quit.

he probably wanted to believe the Die Hard 2 version the same way we all did

I'd imagine that the rules of engagement prob included "assume everyone is armed/wearing a bomb" and "kill everyone anyway"

yeah and they were greeted by small arms fire and that they found weapons all around the house

maybe someone has said this already, i kinda lost this thread but how the hell did someone being hunted by the hundreds of thousands of american soldiers smoke so much weed? is he just immune to paranoia?

the super cynical answer would be that the obama administration knows that whatever info you release in the first 6-12 hours of the news breaking is what most ppl are going to remember/what is going to 'shape the narrative' so they lied basically and let this morality debate play out long after most ppl stopped paying attention

yeah that got covered itt yesterday but still, it bums me out

really, you guys will probably believe this is Just Another Fucking Administration by 2015

^first thing i thought off when i heard about that detail

why is The Way to Bet always "super cynical"? you have read the news all along and none of you are 16.

i dont think bin laden was smoking weed

he bought ian's father's bong

hey, don't drag me into this

really, you guys will probably believe this is Just Another Fucking Administration by 2015

FOUR YEARS TOO LATE EH

too late for what?

we could have a green party president!

the super cynical answer would be that

a less cynical answer would be that the initial information available as ANY news story develops is always sketchy and incomplete, often ultimately inaccurate, and we don't (and more importantly can't) know anything yet about what actually went down and/or why the initial story was told as it was ... and that what we imagine we might believe about such things is simply the way we amplify our own prejudices in the absence of real understanding.

guys now is the time to get involved in the Cynthia McKinny 2012 campaign.

if there was anything to be learned from jessica lynch, pat tillman, saddam's capture etc, it's that the first couple days worth of info are usu. bullshit

now is the time to get Matt Armstrong a hobby

no plans to vote for prez next time btw

Ok at karaoke tonite three people have worked awkward Osama shit into their songs, including a dude singing the smug "God Bless the USA" and goin "yeehaw Osama's dead" between verses, while this other.

I'm happy Bin Laden's dead, but somehow being on the same side as these dudes makes me feel uncomfortable.

I did that too - I was singing "The Greatest Sex" off TP-2.com but I changed "sex" to "Osama"

I'm happy Bin Laden's dead, but

all my disappointment will be framed this way from now on

I trust you responded by performing an adaptation of "Lee Harvey was a Friend of Mine"

xxp

all my disappointment will be framed this way from now on

workin it the other way myself - "I'm happy bin Laden's dead, but these waffles are delicious"

worst part about that palin tweet today=she used a semi-colon incorrectly

I'm happy Bin Laden's dead, but somehow being on the same side as these dudes makes me feel uncomfortable.

tbf, the other side isn't any more pleasant. lesson: humanity is lame

Vewwy twue

Pretty sure if there was a Dr. Morbs political party, Morbs would be the last person to vote for it and he'd be highly critical of the whole endeavor

Dr. Morbs political party, with a platform of:

You Suck
Everything You Believe in Sucks
I Know More Than You

worth noting that in the 3rd pic there is clearly a water gun beneath one of the corpses
